Vad ska en surrogatmamma känna inför fostret hon bär i sin mage? Hur ska en hårt arbetande förälder förhålla sig till faktumet att nannyn eller kalasfixaren vet bäst hur deras barn vill ha sitt kalas? Kan en flygvärdinna eller en socialarbetare visa den irritation hon känner inför en otrevlig kund eller klient? Vilka känslor är legitima att visa upp i olika situationer och vilka behöver tryckas ne
Abstract BACKGROUND: Most individuals with Helicobacter pylori infection in Western countries have no evidence of peptic ulcer disease (PUD). We therefore assessed the PiZ deficiency variant of the major plasma protease inhibitor alpha1-antitrypsin (alpha1AT) as a risk factor for PUD in H. pylori-infected individuals. METHODS: The cohort comprised 100 patients with endoscopically or surgically pr
Objective To compare long-term work loss in methotrexate-refractory early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) randomized to addition of infliximab or conventional combination treatment. Methods Multicentre, two-arm, parallel, randomized, active-controlled, open-label trial. RA patients with <1y symptom duration were recruited from 15 rheumatology clinics in Sweden between 2002-2005. Patients who did not ach
Objective: To determine the within- and between-patient variability in the concentrations of synovial fluid, serum and urine markers of joint tissue metabolism in a cohort of patients with knee pain and cartilage changes consistent with early-stage knee osteoarthritis. Design: Samples of synovial fluid, serum, and urine were obtained from 52 patients on eight different occasions during 1 year, as

Objectives. The treatment of eating disorders is a complex process that relies not only on the use of psychotropic drugs but should include also nutritional counselling, psychotherapy and the treatment of the medical complications, where they are present. In this review recommendations for the pharmacological treatment of eating disorders (anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating
Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp
This thesis presents a complete digital back-end implementation of a PN-dither least-mean-squares (LMS) background calibration scheme for a 12-bit, 500 MS/s pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The target converter, designed by a parallel analog project, comprises four 3-bit stages and a 4-bit final flash stage; its actual inter-stage gains depart substantially from their nominal values, re
Background: Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) strongly discriminate for prostate cancer risk at the population level. The role of these genetic scores in determining prostate cancer survival is unclear, potentially due to methodological issues. Methods: We included 19,607 men from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS) and analyzed 20-year incidence a
Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but constrained resources limit access to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Stepped and stratified care models offer different ways to organize care. Stepped care starts with lower-resource CBT and escalates when needed, whereas stratified care matches CBT format to patient complexity from the outset. Economic evidence comparing these mod
Background: Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunocytochemical (ICC) analysis of cell blocks (CBs) has recently emerged in clinical practice. Unlike standardized immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues, cytology involves various preparation methods and fixatives. This study investigated how various fixatives influence PD-L1 immunoreactivity in CBs from malignant pleural
Background: We aimed to assess the risk of serious infections in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exposed to different advanced therapies. Methods: We linked nationwide registers and compared rates of incident serious infections in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) exposed to medical therapies versus matched general population comparators during 2007-2023
GOALS: To assess the incidence, type, and severity of infections in patients with IBD before and after starting thiopurine therapy.BACKGROUND: Thiopurines have been used for decades in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), yet real-world data regarding the extent and types of infections associated with their use are scarce.STUDY: We included all thiopurine-naive adults with IBD who in
Accurate, high-resolution global land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is crucial for environmental monitoring, but remains challenging when relying solely on multispectral data. Most existing global LULC mapping studies rely exclusively on multispectral observations, and even those that incorporate synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data often fail to fully exploit the information it provides. SAR p
Introduction Systemic inflammation is postulated to mediate heat stroke and heat-related organ injury, yet acute inflammatory responses among heat-stressed workers remains poorly understood. We aimed to describe neutrophil mobilisation and potential release of DNA during heat stress in multiple hot occupational settings and a controlled experimental setting. Methods Neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio (NL
Objectives: Panax ginseng (P. ginseng, C.A. Meyer) is suggested to improve blood glucose regulation, but evidence remains inconsistent. We examined whether consuming P. ginseng as a preload before a carbohydrate-rich meal modulates postprandial glucose and insulin responses. Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, crossover trial, 22 healthy middle-aged adults consumed P. ginseng tablets containin
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Achieving adequate concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics in patients with severe infections is challenging, and therefore therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) would be optimal for guiding beta-lactam dosing, but is often limited by availability. UV/VIS spectrophotometry can quantify drug levels in saline, and if those levels truly reflect plasma concentrations, it could
BACKGROUND/AIM: Determining the causation of an injury in living individuals is a key task for forensic pathologists. However, little is known about sex-based differences in injury characteristics. The study aims to examine sex-based differences in single stab injuries to the trunk among assault survivors, to potentially identify injury patterns that could aid forensic assessment and help in the m
BACKGROUND: Early HIV diagnosis allows timely interventions to control HIV transmission. We have determined the proportion of recent infections among people living with HIV (PLHIV) enrolling to care in Ethiopia and identified factors associated with recent infection. METHODS: Participants (aged ≥ 15 years) newly enrolled in HIV care were recruited from urban clinics in central Ethiopia (2022-2024)
