The genome-wide recombination rate varies between individuals, but the mechanism controlling this variation in humans has remained elusive. A search identified sequence variants 4p16.3 region correlated with both males and females. These are located RNF212 gene, a putative ortholog of ZHP-3 gene that is essential for recombinations chiasma formation Caenorhabditis elegans. It noteworthy haplotype formed by two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated highest low Consequently, if...
Background and Objectives:To estimate the incidence of operative complications compare cost overall different methods benign hysterectomy including abdominal, vaginal, laparoscopic, robotic techniques.Methods:We performed a retrospective cohort analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-2) all patients who underwent for reasons in 2009 at single urban academic tertiary care center using χ2 test Student t test. A multivariate regression was also predictors costs. Cost data were gathered...
In a 3-year period, the main mode of access for hysterectomy at Brigham and Women's Hospital changed from abdominal to laparoscopic. We estimated potential effects this shift on perioperative outcomes costs.We compared cost care all hysterectomies performed in 2006 2009 an urban academic tertiary center using χ² test or Fisher's exact categorical variables two-sided Student's t continuous variables. A multivariate regression analysis was also major across study groups. Cost data were...
The etiology of RCC is incompletely understood and the inherited genetic contribution uncertain. Although there are rare mendelian forms stemming from mutations, most cases thought to be sporadic. We sought determine extent familial aggregation among Icelandic patients in general. Medical pathologic records for all diagnosed with Iceland between 1955 1999 were reviewed. This included a total 1,078 cases, 660 males 418 females. With use an extensive computerized database containing genealogic...
Previous studies suggest a familial link between adult obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and sudden infant death (SIDS). However, most of these were hampered by the availability too few cases SIDS to draw conclusions. To examine nature this association in Iceland, hospital-based lists all patients who diagnosed with OSAS (n = 2,350) 58) from 1979 1998 used separately determine occurrence search for evidence cosegregation conditions Icelandic families, using nationwide genealogy...
Objectives . We assess whether it is feasible for robotic hysterectomy endometrial cancer to be less expensive society than traditional laparoscopic or abdominal hysterectomy. Methods performed a retrospective cohort analysis of patient characteristics, operative times, complications, and hospital charges from all () patients who underwent in 2009 at our hospital. Per costs each method were examined the societal perspective. Sensitivity Monte Carlo simulation using cost-minimization model....
Studies on penetrating injuries in Europe are scarce and often represent data from single institutions. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence demographic features patients hospitalized for stab injury a whole nation. This retrospective nationwide population-based all consecutive adult who were Iceland following knife machete-related injuries, 2000–2015. Age-standardized calculated Injury Severity Score (ISS) used assess severity injury. Altogether, 73 (mean age 32.6 years,...
Group reminiscence among people with end‐stage chronic lung diseases Background. Reminiscence is a process of recalling long‐forgotten memorable experiences and events through verbal interaction between the person eliciting memories one or more persons. considered an effective treatment for various groups people, particularly elderly. Aim. This paper describes intervention study on group diseases. The following hypotheses were proposed: (1) Depression in will decrease after participating...
Abstract Aim: To examine survival and outcome of extremely low‐birth‐weight (ELBW) children (birth weight < 1000 g) in two 5‐year periods, 10 years apart. Methods: In a retrospective population‐based study, information on all ELBW born Iceland 1991–1995 2001–2005 was obtained from the National Birth Registry, hospital charts medical records. The periods were compared. Results: 1991–1995, 102 22.261 newborn (0.5%) low birth compared with 70 20.923 newborns (0.33%) (p = 0.04). At 5 age, 52%...
Background Traumatic brain injury is a worldwide health issue and significant cause of preventable deaths disabilities. We aimed to describe population‐based data on intensive care treated traumatic in Iceland over 15 years period. Methods Retrospective review all unit admissions due at The National University Hospital 1999–2013. Data were collected demographics, mechanism injury, alcohol consumption, glasgow come scale upon admission, Injury Severity Scoring, acute physiology chronic...
Persistent symptoms are common after SARS-CoV-2 infection but correlation with objective measures is unclear.We invited all 3098 adults who tested positive in Iceland before October 2020 to the deCODE Health Study. We compared multiple and physical between 1706 Icelanders confirmed prior (cases) participated, 619 contemporary 13,779 historical controls. Cases participated study 5-18 months infection.Here we report that 41 of 88 associated infection, most significantly disturbed smell taste,...
(Abstracted from BJOG 2016; doi: 10.1111/1471-0528.14179) Leiomyomata are found in up to 80% of uteri examined at hysterectomy; symptoms present 20% 50% women. The preferred surgical procedure when uterine conservation is desired myomectomy; feasible, the laparoscopic approach preferred.
