Background and Purpose - The causes of death of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) have not been systematically addressed in previous studies. We aimed to analyze the causes and predictors of death during the acute phase of CVT in the International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis (ISCVT) to identify preventable or treatable causes. Methods - ISCVT is a multinational,

Background: We have previously identified a locus on human chromosome 20q13.1, encompassing related genes of postulated WFDC-type protease inhibitors and semen coagulum proteins. Three of the genes with WFDC motif also coded for the Kunitz-type protease inhibitor motif. In this report, we have reinvestigated the locus for homologous genes encoding Kunitz motif only. The identified genes have been

Objective To compare experiences of the second stage of labour in women randomised to assistance by one or by two midwives to reduce severe perineal trauma (SPT). Design Analysis of a secondary outcome within the Swedish Oneplus multicentre randomised trial. Setting Five obstetric units in Sweden between December 2018 and March 2020. Participants Inclusion criteria in the Oneplus trial were women

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Vitamin B6 plays a pivotal role in brain development and functioning. Differences in vitamin B6 homeostasis between preterm and term newborn infants have been reported. The authors sought to investigate whether B6 vitamers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of preterm and term newborn infants are different. METHODS: B6 vitamer concentrations were determined in 69 CSF samples of

Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) on MRI are frequent in healthy aging individuals but precede ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and dementia. Different etiologies have been suggested for nonlobar CMB, which have a stronger connection to hypertension (HT) than do lobar CMB. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CMB and the association between nonlobar/lobar CMB and different blood pressure (BP)

Recent evidence challenges the widely held view that the hippocampus is specialized for episodic memory, by demonstrating that it also underpins the integration of information across experiences. Contemporary computational theories propose that these two contrasting functions can be accomplished by big-loop recurrence, whereby the output of the system is recirculated back into the hippocampus. We

Aims. Planets in the mass range from 2 to 15 M⊙ are very diverse. Some of them have low densities, while others are very dense. By measuring the masses and radii, the mean densities, structure, and composition of the planets are constrained. These parameters also give us important information about their formation and evolution, and about possible processes for atmospheric loss. Methods. We determ

Aims: The Diabetes Incidence in Kronoberg (DIK) study of adult-onset diabetes used serological classification. Standard Mortality Rates (SMR) and Years of Life Lost (YLL) 15 years after adult-onset (18–100 years) of diabetes were compared to the population of Kronoberg. Methods: Of 1609/1660 (97%) patients, 112 (7%) had type 1 (T1D) (GADA+ and/or ICA+, and/or C-peptide < 0.25 nmol/l), and 1497 (93

Objectives Pregnancy complications are common contributors to perinatal mortality and morbidity. Still, the cause(s) of gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes are largely unknown. Some occupational exposures have been inconsistently associated with pregnancy complications, but exposure to whole-body vibrations (WBV) has been largely overlooked even though it has been associated with adver

The association between hormone therapy (estrogen, with or without progesterone) and colorectal cancer (CRC) has received considerable scientific interest but previous research has generated inconsistent results. We aimed to examine whether post-diagnostic use of hormone therapy might protect against CRC mortality and all-cause mortality. Women diagnosed with CRC between January 2007 and December

Background: Accurate and internationally comparable human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA detection and typing services are essential for HPV vaccine research and surveillance. Objectives: This study assessed the proficiency of different HPV typing services offered routinely in laboratories worldwide. Study design: The HPV Laboratory Network (LabNet) has designed international proficiency panels that can

29_Inspirationsbidrag PW TR_mod LTHs 11:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 9 december 2021 Abstract— Data from LTH’s course evaluation survey CEQ suggest that the rapid transition from campus to online teaching in the spring of 2020 made the teaching less prone to support a deep approach to learning. Here we show that in the spring of 2021, survey items related to Good Teaching and Clear Goals a
