PURPOSE: To assess the risk of self-fulfilling prophecy from withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) in comatose cardiac arrest patients undergoing neuroprognostication.METHODS: Post-hoc multicentre study matching adults resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, in WLST-permitting cohorts (TTM and TTM2), and non-WLST-permitting cohorts (KORHN and ProNeCA). We matched patients in a 1:

Background: Racial differences in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) genomes have not yet been fully studied. We aimed to investigate transcriptomic, mutational, and clinical differences by race in a large multi-institutional cohort of men with mCRPC. Methods: Genomic and clinicopathologic data from four mCRPC tumor biopsy cohorts were obtained and aggregated. Gene set enrichm

Aim: Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to analyse whether postoperative complications following radical resection for colorectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence rate and impaired survival. Method: Patients operated for colon cancer between 2007 and 2009 with curative intent were identified thr

This essay focuses on the increasing problems for companies and right-holders with counterfeited and pirated goods in the European Union and the problems for right holders to enforce their IPR rights. Will IPRED1 make a difference and is there really a need for the new Directive of Enforcement 2004/48/EG, or do the sanctions according to the TRIPS Agreement suffice. Further, IPRED2 is a follow up

The pursuit for equality between men and women is an ongoing struggle. One of the largest differences between men and women in general is the amount of time spent taking care of children and the home. This difference between men and women is one of the reasons women have less opportunity to pursue a career, be financially independent or take part in politics in most parts of the world. This differ

There is strong evidence that climate change has a direct impact on humans and extreme temperatures have been linked to negative health impacts and increasing mortality. The heat wave of 2018 caused up to 8.2% more deaths compared to the year before in Sweden, with higher impacts in other parts of the world. The fact that people spent almost 90% of their times indoors makes the indoor environment

The main monitoring method during labor is cardiotocography, CTG, which measures the fetal heartbeat, FHR, as well as the uterine contractions, TOCO. The CTG is a valuable tool in assessing the fetal status and it is evaluated intermittently by clinicians during the progress of the labor. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific which makes the interpretation difficult and inconsis

The aim of this thesis is to design two patch antenna arrays for dual-frequency harmonic radar application, one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver. The arrays are used to track the Bogong moth that migrates from the countryside to the Australian Alps during spring. The tracking is done at the radar by operating the transmitter at one frequency and the receiver at twice the frequenc

As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant

Objectives: To examine the effects of thiopurine exposure during pregnancy on intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pregnancies using nationwide data from Swedish healthcare registers. Methods: This register-based cohort study included all singleton pregnancies with prevalent SLE or IBD in Sweden, 2007-2022. Exposure

Background: Cognitive impairment in trauma-affected refugees is often unassessed due to the absence of suitable cross-cultural neuropsychological measures, the high prevalence of psychiatric symptoms, and the need for interpreter mediation. This poses both a clinical challenge and a health inequality for trauma-affected refugees who are left without access to much needed rehabilitation. Untreated

Breath-hold ECG-gated cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is challenging during exercise due to motion, ECG-problems, and lengthy scans. To facilitate time-resolved volumetric measures from exercise-CMR, we aimed to develop a method for constructing time-resolved ventricular cines from real-time free-breathing exercise-CMR. Time-resolved ventricular cines were semi-automatically constr

Background: The aim of this study was to develop a method for personalized training of Deep Neural Networks by means of an MRI simulator to improve MOLLI native T1 estimates relative to conventional fitting methods. Methods: The proposed Personalized Training Neural Network (PTNN) for T1 mapping was based on a neural network which was trained with simulated MOLLI signals generated for each individ

Background: A Swedish version of the Patient-Rated Ulnar Nerve Evaluation (PRUNE-S), a patient-reported outcome measure for ulnar nerve entrapment, was created, according to cross-cultural adaptation guidelines, and reliability, validity, and responsiveness were evaluated. Methods: In total, 43 patients (mean [SD] age, 49 [16] y; 54% men) were consecutively examined, including the PRUNE-S (retest:

Det finns inga internationella åtaganden som innebär en skyldighet för Sverige att ge parter i tvistemål tillgång till en prövning av en andra instans. Dock ska parter enligt Europakonventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna tillförsäkras en rätt till domstolsprövning och en rättssäker process. En möjlighet till överprövning av den första instansens avgöranEven though the definition of legal certainty is controversial, it may be considered generally accepted that the substantive aspect of legal certainty requires that judicial decisions are substantially right. It is also quite clear that the formal aspect of legal certainty includes a requirement of predictability concerning judicial decision making. Sweden has no enforceable international obliga

Popular science summary As the climate warms and species move northwards, some species encounter populations of a similar species. In this case, the banded demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx splendens is moving north, further into Fennoscandia than it has been known to go before, and is meeting populations of the beautiful demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx virgo. Males of both species set up and defen
