Structural compromise of the tumor suppressor gene, PTEN occurs in 10% of melanoma specimens and loss of PTEN expression through DNA methylation of the PTEN promoter region has also been reported in a number of other malignancies. However, the role of PTEN promoter methylation in melanoma is not well understood. We thus sought to elucidate the prevalence of PTEN promoter methylation in melanoma sp

Objective:To examine the impact of non-response to self-reported body weight and height in health questionnaires for the estimation of obesity prevalence.Methods and Procedures:A cross-sectional population-based health survey in the community ofVara with 16,009 residents (in year 2002) in South-western Sweden. Participants randomly selected in strata by sex and age among residents being 30-74 year

PURPOSE: miRNAs play a prominent role in a variety of physiologic and pathologic biologic processes, including cancer. For rectal cancers, only limited data are available on miRNA expression profiles, whereas the underlying genomic and transcriptomic aberrations have been firmly established. We therefore, aimed to comprehensively map the miRNA expression patterns of this disease. EXPERIMENTAL DE

BACKGROUND: Risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in cancer patients has not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of the present study was to examine whether there is an association between cancer and first hospitalisation for CHD. METHODS: All individuals in Sweden with a diagnosis of cancer between 1st January 1987 and 31st December 2008 were followed for first hospitalisation for CHD. The refer

OBJECTIVE: Gene expression alterations, especially in target tissues of insulin, have been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we examined if genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) show differential gene expression and DNA methylation in pancreatic islets from patients with T2D compared with non-diabetic donors. DESIGN AND METHODS: Gene expression was analyzed in human panc

Objective. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) continues to be an important cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs in the western world. Although smoking is an important trigger of COPD, other factors such as chronic inflammation and malnutrition are known to influence its development. Because coeliac disease (CD) is characterized both by dysregulated inflammation and malnutri

BACKGROUND: Butterflies of the subtribe Mycalesina have radiated successfully in almost all habitat types in Africa, Madagascar, the Indian subcontinent, Indo-China and Australasia. Studies aimed at understanding the reasons behind the evolutionary success of this spectacular Old World butterfly radiation have been hampered by the lack of a stable phylogeny for the group. Here, we have reconstruct

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

OBJECTIVES: To identify multimorbidity trajectories over 20 years among incident osteoarthritis (OA) individuals and OA-free matched references.METHODS: Cohort study using prospectively collected healthcare data from the Skåne region, Sweden (~1.4 million residents). We extracted diagnoses for OA and 67 common chronic conditions. We included individuals aged 40+ years on 31 December 2007, with inc

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of meniscal calcifications in individuals with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, we aim to identify the specific types of calcifications: basic calcium phosphate (BCP) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPP).METHOD: We analysed 82 meniscal posterior horn samples (medial and lateral) collected from 41 human subjects. Among them, 20 indivi

Background: Women with intellectual disability (ID) may encounter barriers to exercising reproductive agency, self-care during pregnancy, and accessing healthcare to optimize pregnancy outcomes. However, there is to date little evidence to guide policy and practice. We aim to fill this identified knowledge gap by examining pregnancy outcomes among women with ID in comparison with women from the ge

Background: People with Intellectual disabilities (ID) have more healthcare utilization, especially unplanned inpatient care. One reason could be too early hospital discharges, resulting in readmissions. This is an important aspect of quality of care that has not been thoroughly assessed among people with ID. Aim: To investigate readmission to hospital within 30 days among people with ID compared

Verksamhetsberättelse 2020 för EBSCO Systems Nordic User Group Verksamhetsåret 2020 präglades i stort av en global coronaviruspandemi med anledningen av spridningen av SARS-CoV-2 (se mer här: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronaviruspandemin_2019%E2%80%932021). Pandemin innebar för verksamheten att inga fysiska träffar kunde hållas under året. Därför anordnade föreningen endast digitala möten och
