disease patterns and incidence of immune-mediated disease in insured swedish nova scotia duck tolling retrievers.	in this study, morbidity in insured nova scotia duck tolling retriever (nsdtr) dogs from sweden was investigated and compared with all other breeds and other retriever breeds. in addition to describing common morbidities in nsdtrs, the hypotheses that nsdtrs are predisposed to lymphoma, immune-mediated rheumatic disease (imrd) and steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (srma) were tested. included in the study were 445,336 dogs; of which, 2890 were nsdtrs that had been covered by veterinary ins ...	2015	26089352
disease patterns in 32,486 insured german shepherd dogs in sweden: 1995-2006.	the aims of this retrospective study were to describe the morbidity and mortality in german shepherd dogs (gsd) in sweden, based on insurance data, and to test the hypothesis that gsds are predisposed to immune-related diseases. morbidity was defined as incidence rates and based on veterinary care events. mortality was defined as mortality rates and based on life insurance data. the study included 445,336 dogs, 7.3 per cent gsds, covered by both veterinary care and life insurance between 1995 an ...	2013	23812178
age patterns of disease and death in insured swedish dogs, cats and horses.	from 1995 to the present agria animal insurance, sweden (agria djurförsäkring, stockholm, sweden) has provided data on both health care and life insurance claims for descriptive and analytical research. from these data we have published extensively on insured dogs and horses and have recently submitted a study on cat mortality. over the periods studied most extensively (1995-2002 for dogs, 1997-2004 for horses and 1999-2006 for cats), agria has insured approximately 200,000 dogs, 100,000 horses ...	2010	19932895
characterization of divergent and atypical canine coronaviruses from sweden.	field canine coronaviruses (ccvs) identified during a series of outbreaks of gastroenteritis in swedish dogs were subjected to genetic analysis involving the open reading frame 1b (orf1b) and the membrane (m) and spike (s) protein genes. four field viruses originating from the stockholm region presented identical sequences and segregated separately from other ccvs characterized so far and from got/05, the variant recovered in western sweden. a recombinant origin of the fifth virus identified in ...	2007	17533554

cat bite wound infections: a prospective clinical and microbiological study at three emergency wards in stockholm, sweden.	the rate of infection following cat bites appears to be greater than that from dog bites. to study the clinical picture, complications and microbiology (in humans and cats), this prospective study was performed.	2006	16483663
[hans-christian jacobaeus (1879-1937): the inventor of human laparoscopy and thoracoscopy].	already 94 years ago in 1910, dr. hans christian jacobaeus performed the first clinical laparoscopic surgery in stockholm. his pioneering procedure was based on the animal experiments of georg kelling (1866-1945), a german physician from dresden, who performed the first laparoscopic intervention in 1901 using a nitze cystoscope in a dog. in 1910 jacobaeus published his first experiences with laparoscopic surgery in the münchner medizinische wochenschrift under the title "the possibility to perfo ...	2006	16773384

environmental risk factors for allergy and socioeconomic status in a birth cohort (bamse).	associations between parental educational level and possible risk factors for atopic disease during the first months of life were explored in a cohort of 4089 neonate children born 1994-96 in stockholm, sweden. reports concerning a number of life style factors during pregnancy and after the baby was born were obtained by questionnaire. there was a strong negative association between duration of education and maternal smoking during pregnancy, parental smoking after the baby was born and keeping ...	2002	12144640
cat and dog allergen in mattresses and textile covered floors of homes which do or do not have pets, either in the past or currently.	the aim of this study was to measure the levels of cat and dog allergen in homes of families that had either never kept pets or kept or had kept cats or dogs. from a small residential area outside stockholm consisting of 250 houses with similar exteriors 70 homes were included. dust samples were collected from mattresses and textile-covered floors. the levels of cat and dog allergen were analysed by elisa. fel d1 was found in mattress dust in all 70 homes, median 0.5 micrograms/g [0.24-8.89 micr ...	1998	9560840
survey on the allergic status in a turkish population in sweden.	a limited survey on the allergic status and total ige was performed on 205 persons of turkish origin aged between 16 and 76 years living in stockholm, uppsala, sweden in 1990. a questionnaire was mailed to 205 persons and was returned by 92%. 71 persons were randomly selected among those who returned the questionnaire, and were examined after an interview, skin-prick test (spt) and total ige levels were also measured. the atopy prevalence of the randomly selected group of turks was found 32.4%. ...	1993	8328351
developments in cardiac surgery in stockholm during the mid and late 1950s.	in 1951 in our laboratory in stockholm, we successfully used our experimental pump oxygenator: the first dogs survived 40 minutes of total cardiopulmonary bypass with right ventricular cardiotomy. in the same year extracorporeal circulation was combined with hypothermia (26 degrees to 28 degrees c) to allow lower perfusion flows, thus diminishing blood trauma and the risk of perfusion complications. to avoid air emboli during cardiotomies, the heart was "arrested" with electrically induced ventr ...	1989	2682018
25 years of implanted intracardiac pacers.	in 1962, a simplified method of transvenously inserting an intracardiac electrode and implanting the whole pacemaker system under local anaesthesia was reported from the karolinska hospital in stockholm. this simplified method has been universally adopted and pacemakers are now probably implanted too freely in many places. in the stockholm area pacemakers are implanted half as frequently as in the rest of sweden and as often as in the united kingdom.	1988	2894560
cardiac pacing in retrospect.	as precursors of permanent pacemakers, lidwill (1929) and hyman (1932) introduced temporary pacemakers for resuscitation. callaghan (1950) intravenously paced the sinus nodal region for bradycardia in hypothermic dogs. zoll (1952) used external electrodes to treat adams-stokes attacks, and lillehei (1957) fixed stainless steel electrodes to the myocardium, successfully treating iatrogenic total atrioventricular block with a percutaneous pacemaker. since 1951, by experimental and clinical use of ...	1983	6344675
