The anatomic location of a glioma influences prognosis and treatment options. aim our study was to describe the distribution gliomas in different areas brain. A representative population-based sample 331 adults with used for preliminary analyses. locations 89 patients from single center were analyzed more detail radiologic imaging recorded on three-dimensional 1 × 1-cm grid. age-standardized incidence rate 4.7 per 100,000 person-years. most frequent subtypes glioblastoma (47%) grade II-III...
The very rapid worldwide increase in mobile phone use the last decade has generated considerable interest possible health effects of exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields. A multinational case-control study, INTERPHONE, was set-up investigate whether increases risk cancer and, more specifically, RF fields emitted by phones are carcinogenic. study focused on tumours arising tissues most exposed from phones: glioma, meningioma, acoustic neurinoma and parotid gland tumours. In addition a...
There is public concern that use of mobile phones could increase the risk brain tumours. If such an effect exists, acoustic neuroma would be particular because proximity nerve to handset. We conducted, a shared protocol, six population-based case-control studies in four Nordic countries and UK assess relation phone use. Data were collected by personal interview from 678 cases 3553 controls. The regular pooled data set was not raised (odds ratio (OR) = 0.9, 95% confidence interval (CI):...
Public concern has been expressed about the possible adverse health effects of mobile telephones, mainly related to intracranial tumors. We conducted a population-based case-control study investigate relationship between phone use and risk glioma among 1,522 patients 3,301 controls. found no evidence increased regular (odds ratio, OR = 0.78, 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.68, 0.91). No significant association was across categories with duration use, years since first cumulative number calls...
Recent studies have reported improvements in a variety of cognitive functions following sole working memory (WM) training. In spite the emergence several successful training paradigms, scope transfer effects has remained mixed. This is most likely due to heterogeneity that been measured and tasks applied. present study, we approached this issue systematically by investigating from WM different aspects executive functioning. Our task was demanding requires simultaneous performance visual an...
Aim: To validate short term recall of mobile phone use within Interphone, an international collaborative case control study tumours the brain, acoustic nerve, and salivary glands related to telephone use. Methods: Mobile 672 volunteers in 11 countries was recorded by operators or through software modified phones, compared recalled six months later using Interphone questionnaire. Agreement between actual analysed both categorical continuous measures number duration calls. Results:...
Abstract Brain tumors are some of the most lethal adult cancers and there is a concern that incidence increasing. It has been suggested reported increased can be explained by improvements in diagnostic procedures, although this not totally resolved. The aim our study was to describe trends primary intracerebral four Nordic countries during period with introduction new procedures increasing prevalence mobile phone users. Information about benign malignant tumor cases 20–79 years age obtained...
It has been reported that the incidence of meningioma increased in several industrialized countries late 1970s and early 1980s. The aim this study was to evaluate time trends meningiomas Denmark, Finland, Norway Sweden, with emphasis on age distribution sex ratio. Information about cases people aged 15-84 years obtained from cancer registries these Nordic for 1968-1997, estimates person-years at risk were calculated information provided by national population registries. Age-specific rates...
An inverse association between allergic conditions and glioma risk has been reported previously. In this large population-based case-control study, the authors identified cases diagnosed with or meningioma in Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, southeast England 2000 2004. Detailed information on self-reported physician-diagnosed was collected from 1,527 cases, 1,210 3,309 randomly selected controls. Logistic regression showed an odds ratio of 0.70 (95% confidence interval: 0.61, 0.80) for...
Abstract Female sex hormones have previously been suggested as possible risk factors for brain tumors, but published studies reported conflicting results. We conducted a population-based case-control study of glioma (n = 626) and meningioma 906) cases randomly selected controls stratified on age geographic region 1,774) in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom. Unconditional logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (OR) relation reproductive factors. A decreased...
Background Use of mobile telephones has been suggested as a possible risk factor for intracranial tumours. To evaluate the effect phones on meningioma, we carried out an international, collaborative case-control study 1209 meningioma cases and 3299 population-based controls. Methods Population-based were identified, mostly from hospitals, controls national population registers general practitioners' patient lists. Detailed history phone use was obtained by personal interview. Regular (at...
The dual n -back working memory (WM) training paradigm (comprising auditory and visual stimuli) has gained much attention since studies have shown widespread transfer effects. By including a multimodal dual-task component, the task is demanding to human cognitive system. We investigated whether improves general resources or task-specific WM updating process in participants. expected: (1) effects recruitment of common neuronal network by tasks (2) narrower results that activation alone would...
Much of the variation in inherited risk glioma is likely to be explained by combinations common low variants. The established relationship between and exposure ionizing radiation led us examine whether variants DNA repair genes contribute disease susceptibility. We evaluated 1127 haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) supplemented with 388 putative functional SNPs capture most 136 genes, five unique case–control series from four different countries (1013 cases, 1016...
Meningiomas account for up to 37% of all primary brain tumors. Genetic susceptibility meningioma is well established, with the risk among relatives patients being approximately threefold higher than that in general population. A relationship between and exposure ionizing radiation also known led us examine whether variants DNA repair genes contribute disease susceptibility.We analyzed 1127 tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected capture most common variation 136 five...
Age-related decline in executive functions can be decisive performing everyday tasks autonomously. Working memory (WM) is closely related to functions, and training of WM has yielded evidence toward cognitive plasticity older adults. The effects often transfer untrained functions. These have mostly been shown processes such as attention, whereas studies investigating scarce. We trained adults aged 57-73 years a task that was reported effective producing young intervention consisted dual...
