Background: Gaming is one of the most common leisure activities among children and adolescents: virtually every child in Sweden plays some form of internet games. However, concerns have been raised regarding the risk of developing psychiatric disorders such as internet gaming disorder. A significant amount of research has been focused on evaluating hours spent gaming and the negative effect the ac

The first measurement of the e+e− pair production at midrapidity and low invariant mass in central Pb-Pb collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV at the Large Hadron Collider is presented. The yield of e+e− pairs is compared with a cocktail of expected hadronic decay contributions in the invariant mass (mee) and pair transverse momentum (pT,ee) ranges mee < 3.5 GeV/c2 and pT,ee < 8 GeV/c. For 0.18 < mee < 0.

Background and Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are critical for preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). This study aims to identify cross-continental differences in utilization of primary prevention ICDs and survival free from sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ARVC. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of AR

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by a prominent desmoplastic stroma, which plays a crucial role in tumor biology and treatment resistance. While the stromal compartment is a defining histopathological feature of PDAC, its prognostic significance remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to quantify the stromal content in PDAC using digital pathology and

Objectives The aim was to estimate the prevalence and risk of respiratory symptoms among workers exposed to epoxy resin systems in the wind turbine industry. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including 180 epoxy-exposed production workers from two Danish wind turbine blade factories and 41 non-exposed office workers. Respiratory symptoms were defined as having two or more symptoms (i.e.

Objective: Occupational balance is a person's subjective perception of the amount and variation of their everyday activities. Evidence suggests an association between occupational balance and health. However, the impact of arthritis on occupational balance and its association with health is unclear. This exploratory study was undertaken to examine associations between occupational balance and meas

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is common in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) without dementia, but the prevalence of AD pathology in patients with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (naMCI) is unknown. AD is characterised by decreased CSF concentrations of A beta(42) and increased concentrations of tau. We investig

Although the negative effects of ultraviolet-B ( UV-B) radiation on the development of many amphibian species have been demonstrated, some speciessuch as the common frog ( Rana temporaria)seem to be tolerant of UV-B radiation. The amount of UV-B radiation received is likely to vary among populations of the same species, but little is known about geographic variation in UV-B tolerance. Similarly, a

Epidemiological studies have shown an inverse relation between a whole grain consumption and risk of type-2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. One tentative mechanism relates to colonic metabolism of indigestible carbohydrates. In a previous study, we reported a positive relation between colonic fermentation and improved glucose tolerance. This work can be seen as an extension of that study, foc

Development of targeted agents for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma includes clinical evaluation of enzastaurin, an agent that suppresses signaling through protein kinase C-beta and AKT pathways. To determine whether protein kinase C-beta expression has prognostic significance for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with immunochemotherapy, we analyzed the expression of pr

BACKGROUND: A novel way to evaluate muscle strength and functioning in the lower limbs is to measure how high a person could step up on a platform, the so called Maximal Step-up Test (MST). Studies of healthy persons and overweight women have shown that the maximal step-up height (MSH) is associated with both muscle strength and physical function, but no study has assessed persons after stroke. OB

Aims/hypothesis Our aim was to investigate the association between birthweight and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), a common diabetes form with features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Methods We used data from the Epidemiological Study of Risk Factors for LADA and Type 2 Diabetes (ESTRID), a Swedish population-based study. Eligible for the analysis were 134 incident LADA cases (gl

Reducing microorganisms by UV light is has been commonly used for drinking water for many years. In other liquid products like apple juice it is a rather novel application. The advantages would be that quality parameters like aromas and vitamins are less affected by the UV treatment compared to a heat treatment. Furthermore it would probably be cheaper, as the lamps need less electrical energy tha

Background: Physical exercise is part of the recommended treatment for individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to improve cardiovascular health without risk of increased disease activity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding facilitating factors for digitally-based HIIT among individuals with axSpA. Objective: Th

Background: Studying contemporary hybridization increases our understanding of introgression, adaptation and, ultimately, speciation. The sister species Ischnura elegans and I. graellsii (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) are ecologically, morphologically and genetically similar and hybridize. Recently, I. elegans has colonized northern Spain, creating a broad sympatric region with I. graellsii. Here, we r
