  Sweden-Norway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Kingdom of Sweden-Norway is a term sometimes, but erroneously, used to refer to the kingdoms of Sweden and Norway between 1814 and 1905, when they were united under one monarch in a personal union, following the Convention of Moss, on August 14, and the Norwegian constitutional revision of November 4.
In Norway it was a part of constitutional law known as "Rigsakten", and in Sweden it was a set of provisions under regular law and was known as "Riksakten".
Sweden and Norway had previously been united under the same crown on two occasions, from 1319 to 1343, and briefly from 1449 to 1450 in opposition to Christian of Oldenburg who by the Danes was elected king of the Kalmar Union.

 Treaty of Kiel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Treaty of Kiel, was a settlement between Sweden and Denmark-Norway on January 14 1814, whereby the Danish king, a loser in the Napoleonic wars, ceded Norway to the king of Sweden, in return for the Swedish holdings in Pomerania.
On hearing news of the treaty, the Prince of the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, Christian Frederik, the resident vice-roy in Norway, founded a Norwegian independence movement with the surreptitious goal of re-uinification with Denmark.
A short war with Sweden later that year led to the ousting of Christian Frederik, and the Norwegian Storting electing Karl XIII of Sweden as King of Norway, creating the union between Sweden and Norway.

 The King of Sweden at a Sailors' Mission
There is scarcely a town in Sweden or Norway which he hasn't visited once or oftener, and where he doesn't know the leading men by sight.

Involving nearly 20,000 patients with high blood pressure, the Anglo- Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) was designed to compare the effects of a Norvasc-based regimen versus a standard beta blocker-based regimen in reducing cardiac events in patients with hypertension and multiple cardiovascular risk factors.
As a result of the favorable benefits demonstrated by patients in the Norvasc-based regimen, the independent ASCOT steering committee has decided to stop the trial early so that ASCOT investigators and patients can discuss their optimum hypertension treatment moving forward.
