Oslo II study

Sensitivity and specificity including interval cancers have been given for some trials. The sensitivity for SFM and FFDM in the paired Co-Ma study with 1 year follow-up was 66 and 48%, respectively (Lewin 2006). The DMIST trial revealed a mean sensitivity of 70% for digital and 66% for analog mammography, and the specificity was 92% for both the modalities (Pisano et al. 2005). From the European studies, sensitivity and specificity has been reported for the two Oslo studies. The sensitivity including interval cancers from the 2-year follow-up in the Oslo I study was 76% for SFM and 59% for FFDM, and the specificity was 89% and 84%, respectively (Skaane et al. 2005, 2009). In the prospective randomized Oslo II study, the sensitivity was 61.5% for SFM and 77.4% for FFDM (p = 0.07), and the specificity was 97.9 and...

The Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1969 was awarded jointly to Odd Hassel (1897-1981) of the University of Oslo and Derek H. R. Barton (1918-1998)335 336 of Imperial College, London for developing and applying the principles of conformation in chemistry. Hassel s whole career was spent at Oslo337 and his contribution was the use of physical techniques in the study of the structures of cyclohexane and its derivatives. The work was done from 1930 onwards, but was not well known until after World War II. Barton became acquainted with Hassel s work and in 1949 began to apply the results to interpreting features of the chemistry of steroids, which had hitherto been difficult to understand.
