- This case-control study of tobacco smoking and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), emphasizing specific associations with morphologic and cytogenetic subtypes, comprised smoking histories for 333 cases and 351 controls. Smoking status (ever smokers versus life-long non-smokers) showed no evident effect on AML risk. However, an effect of smoking was indicated at high cumulative smoking doses (pack-years), e.g. 40 pack-years was associated with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.5 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.0-2.3]. Among morphologic subtypes, the smoking associated OR for acute erythroleukemia was 8.9 (95% CI 1.0-76). No clear associations between smoking and cytogenetic subtypes of AML were observed.

- The purpose of this case-control study was to investigate tobacco smoking as a risk factor for myelodysplastic syndromes, emphasizing karyotypic aberrations as markers for exposure and risk differentiation with respect to morphology. We obtained smoking history by interview of 330 cytogenetically investigated adult myelodysplastic syndrome cases and 337 controls, matched with respect to sex, year of birth, and county of living. Smoking for at least 1 year at some time 20 years or less before diagnosis was associated with an elevated relative risk (RR) for primary myelodysplastic syndromes (odds ratio (OR) 1.8; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.2-2.7). The results indicated a relation with intensity and duration of smoking as well as a decrease in risk a few years after cessation of smoking. Smoking was associated with an increased RR for primary myelodysplastic syndromes with chromosome 7 abnormalities (OR 5.0; 95% CI = 1.1-23). Elevated RRs were also seen for refractory anemia (OR 2.5; 95% CI = 1.2-5.6) and for refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (OR 3.2; 95% CI = 0.88-12). The findings suggest that smoking is a risk factor for myelodysplastic syndromes.

Smoking as a risk factor for myelodysplastic syndromes and acute myeloid leukemia and its relation to cytogenetic findings: A case-control study.

- In this case-control study, interview data on smoking habits were available for 179 de novo cases (116 with cytogenetic data) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Smoking habits were compared with a pooled set of population controls and hospital controls (diagnosed with malignant melanoma). Each pack-year of smoking increased the risk of MDS with 1.3% (95% CI 0.1-2.6%), corresponding to an estimated excess risk of 71% (95% CI 3-180%) for 40 pack-years. Associations between smoking and the specific aberrations -5/5q-, -7/7q-, and +8 in AML and MDS were indicated but the estimates were imprecise.

A journey filled with emotions - mothers' experiences of breastfeeding their preterm infant in a Swedish neonatal ward

- The study took place in a 10-bed neonatal ward in a hospital in the south of Sweden and includes mothers having given birth to a preterm infant born before the 37th week of gestation. The aim of the study was to illuminate mothers' experiences of breastfeeding a preterm infant in a neonatal ward. Data collection includes written protocols from twelve mothers. These protocols were analysed thematically. The results indicated that the mothers should be offered a private place where they can breastfeed or express breastmilk, and that the breastmilk should not be placed in a shared area. The mothers described that they did not want to be separated from their preterm infant during the night. Finally, they also pointed out the importance of support from the health professionals for establishing an exclusive breastfeeding regime.

Admission glucose level was associated with increased short-term mortality and length-of-stay irrespective of diagnosis, treating medical specialty or concomitant laboratory values

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Glucose is a routine emergency sample. General guidelines for inpatient hyperglycemia are scarce, except in myocardial infarction, stroke, and perioperative/ICU. Previous studies found admission glucose associated with increased mortality in specific conditions. Scandinavian data, and for general patients, are scarcer. We investigated admission glucose levels, 30-day mortality, and length-of-stay (LoS), in a Swedish hospital. Methods: From 8146 emergency visits data regarding age, gender, dates of admission, discharge and death, diagnoses, admission p-glucose, s-sodium, s-potassium, b-hemoglobin, b-WBC and s-CRP, was collected, and for 6283 information regarding diagnosis of diabetes the previous 5 years. Visits were grouped in hypoglycemia (≤4.0), normoglycemia (>4.0–≤7.0), modest (>7.0–≤11.1) and severe hyperglycemia (>11.1) mmol/l. Results: Short-term mortality was 1.5% in the normoglycemic, 2.6% in the hypoglycemic, 4.0–4.5% in modest and severe hyperglycemia, p < 0.001; Cox proportional hazard ratios (HR) for groups of patients without/with diabetes were 6.8; 1; 3.4; 4.4/7.3; 3.9; 4.0; 2.1 compared to the normoglycemic without diabetes (p 0.0001–0.05); adjusted for age, and concurrent levels of sodium, potassium, Hb, WBC and CRP 1.51 (1.07–2.1, p 0.02) with modest hyperglycemia, and 1.08 (0.60–1.95, p 0.80) in severe hyperglycemia. Mean LoS was 1.2 and 1.7 days longer with modest and severe hyperglycemia. Conclusions: Short-term mortality increased substantially with admission hypo- and hyperglycemia for patients both with and without diabetes, irrespective of treating medical specialty, main discharge diagnosis, or concurrent laboratory values. Patients with diabetes (16%) were older, with higher glucose levels at admission, and with a different pattern of the association of admission glucose and mortality.

An Everyday Struggle - Swedish Families' Lived Experiences During a Child's Cancer Treatment

- The aim was to elucidate families' lived experience during a child's cancer treatment. Interviews were conducted with members of 11 affected families. A hermeneutical phenomenological approach was chosen. "Focus on the ill child-An everyday struggle" emerged as an essential theme. The families' lived experience of daily life was described as "feeling drained," "disrupting family life," "feeling locked up and isolated," "retaining normality," "becoming experts," and "changing perspectives." The result indicates that life during a child's cancer treatment is a taxing period and that the entire family is in need of support to ease their burdens. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
