Importance: This follow-up study of extremely preterm (EPT) children (<27 weeks' gestational age [GA] at birth) revealed major eye and visual problems in 37.9% (147 of 388) of all EPT infants and in 55.4% (67 of 121) of the most immature subgroups at 6.5 years of age. These major eye and visual problems were strongly associated with treatment-requiring retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Objectives:

Overview: Prostate cancer (PC)is the most common cancer in Sweden, and the leading cause of cancer death. Positronemission tomography with x-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) is an important imagingmethod for many cancers. A group of PET radiopharmaceuticals known as PSMA(prostate specific membrane antigen) ligands has been introduced for imaging ofPC. This thesis investigates aspects of the ligand

Objective To compare, in young active adults with an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, the mid-term (five year) patient reported and radiographic outcomes between those treated with rehabilitation plus early ACL reconstruction and those treated with rehabilitation and optional delayed ACL reconstruction. Design Extended follow-up of prospective randomised controlled trial. Setting Ortho

33Background: PSMA PET has been shown to detect more metastasis and alter management at biochemical recurrence (BCR), but it remains to be determined that it changes oncologic outcome. We assessed the quantitative parameters on 18F-DCFPyL PET at BCR and evaluated their association with tumor volume, metastatic locations with the subsequent biochemical progression free survival (bPFS). Methods: Thi

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has traditionally been preferred over computed tomography (CT) for segmentation of intracranial structures due to its superior low contrast resolution. However, a reliable CT-based segmentation could improve patient management when MRI is not practical. Despite advancements in CT imaging, such as enhanced tissue differentiation using virtual monoenerget

Title: Synergi, a digital reporting tool for working environment. Authors: Sebastian Larsson & Joel Ståhl Supervisor: Radhlinah Aulin, Senior lecturer at the Department of Building and Environmental Technology, Division of Construction Management, Lund University. Examinator: Anne Landin, Professor at the Department of Building and Environmental Technology, Division of Construction Management,

Objectives To calculate the normal range for the fetal middle cerebral artery (MCA)/uterine artery pulsatility index (PI) ratio in the third trimester of pregnancy and to assess its value, compared with that of the MCA/umbilical artery PI ratio, in predicting an unfavorable outcome of pregnancies complicated by pre-eclampsia. Methods Doppler blood flow velocimetry of the uterine and umbilical arte

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer består av celler som tillsammans med molekyler generellt kallade extracellulär matrix bildar en vävnad. Celler innehåller fyra huvudgrupper av byggstenar: socker, fettsyror, aminosyror och nukleotider, vilka i tur och ordning bildar kolhydrater, fetter, proteiner och nukleinsyror. I vävnaderna pågår en ständig omsättning av byggstenarna och molek

The expression and activities of constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in relation to insulin and glucagon secretory mechanisms were investigated in islets isolated from rats subjected to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 10 d. TPN is known to result in significantly increased levels of plasma lipids during the infusion time. In comparison with isl

In an urbanizing world, challenged by climate change and rising temperatures, street vegetation can help mitigate urban temperatures. However, scaling the understanding of street vegetation’s cooling effects from local observations to the city level introduces challenges. While several studies have assessed the influence of street greenery on land surface temperature (LST) at the city scale using

Background: Mammography screening programmes have been widely implemented across European countries over the past 40 years with the main aim to detect breast cancer earlier and thereby reduce breast cancer mortality. This study aimed to analyse and compare changes over time in breast cancer incidence, by stage at diagnosis, and breast cancer mortality across countries in relation to the timing of

BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may, and often does, profoundly reshape daily life, altering physical abilities, social roles, and personal identities. While assistive technologies, including assistive robotics, are often framed as solutions to re-establish independence, their adoption is shaped by practical, emotional, and social considerations as well as functional qualities. Individuals wi

Background: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, studies examining its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced conflicting results and suggested possible sex-specific differences. This study investigated the sex-specific associations between serum apoB concentrations and incident AF and offer insight into the inconsistencies in previous resea

Importance: Early identification of the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using minimal information is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention, which can affect developmental outcomes. Objective: To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for predicting ASD using a minimal set of features from background and medical information and to evaluate the predictors and the util
