Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the association of socioeconomic status and comorbidities with uncomplicated and complicated diverticular disease (DD) in Sweden. Methods: We identified all individuals aged ≥30 years in Sweden diagnosed with DD between 1997 and 2012 using the Swedish National Population and Housing Census and the Hospital Discharge Register. Data were analyzed by multivariabl
In her dissertation Aspektuella hjälpverb i svenskan, Maria Bylin investigates the evolution of six aspectual auxiliaries in Swedish (bruka ‘use to’, tendera ‘tend to’, börja ‘begin’, fortsätta ‘continue’, sluta ‘stop’ and hota ‘threaten’). The study is conducted within the framework of grammaticalization, and Bylin’s primary method is to apply so-called auxiliary tests on a historical material co
Första delen av en biografisk skildring av Jacob "Svasse" Bergqvist (1887-1959), jur kand vid Lunds universitet, statstjänsteman och revyförfattare.
BACKGROUND: Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is a potentially life-threatening acute cardiac syndrome with a clinical presentation similar to myocardial infarction and for which the natural history, management, and outcome remain incompletely understood. Our aim was to assess the relative short-term mortality risk of TS, ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and to iden
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are important risk factors for suicide, yet little is known about how suicide risks vary by specific SUDs. We examined these risks for the first time in a large general population to facilitate comparisons across SUDs. A national cohort study was conducted of all 6,947,191 adults in Sweden. SUDs (opioid, sedative/hypnotic, hallucinogen, cannabis, amphetamine, cocaine
Dokument har en central roll i det sociala arbetets vardag. När ord och siffror skrivs ner och därmed materialiseras går de att hänvisa till, inte bara för sitt innehåll utan också som dokument med en auktoritet i sin egen rätt. Socialarbetaren skapar mening genom att arbetsvardagen regisseras utifrån dokumenten.
Increased blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varied prevalence worldwide owing to different dietary patterns and medication use1. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, in particular through reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels2, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide3. Genome-wideassociation studies (GWAS) of bloo
Objectives: Type I interferons (IFNs) are central and reflective of disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, IFN-α levels are notoriously difficult to measure and the type I IFN gene signature (IGS) is not yet available in clinical routine. This study evaluates galectin-9 and an array of chemokines/cytokines in their potential as surrogate markers of type I IFN and/or SLE d
BackgroundHypoplastic left heart syndrome is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess the influence of left ventricular morphology and choice of shunt on adverse outcome in patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and stage 1 palliation.Methods and ResultsThis was a retrospective analysis of patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome with stage 1 palliation b
HIV infection affects the course of tuberculosis (TB), and HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) synergize in disease progression through complex immunological interplay. To gain further understanding of these mechanisms, we compared the microRNA (miRNA) and small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) expression patterns in whole blood of individuals with active TB, with and without HIV coinfection (HIV+/TB+
I proposition 2021/22:153 Genomförandet av elmarknadsdirektivet fastslår regeringen att det i nuläget inte krävs någon ny lagstiftning för att reglera energigemenskaper. Energimarknadsinspektionen, som hade ansvaret att utreda frågan, föreslog att energigemenskaper skulle vara ekonomiska föreningar med ett skyddat namn där det framgår att de är just energigemenskaper. I propositionen bedömer reg
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Low serum potassium is associated with stroke in populations with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus but has not been studied in a mainly healthy population. We aimed to study the relation between serum potassium and incident stroke and mortality in the Malmö Preventive Project, a large cohort with screening in early mid-life and follow-up >25 years
The presence of diabetes mellitus is rarely addressed in acute lower limb ischaemia (ALLI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of local intra-arterial thrombolysis for ALLI in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Outcome of all thrombolytic events performed in an endovascular first-strategy centre during a 13-year period between 2001 and 2013 in patients with ALLI were followed to
BACKGROUND: Previous post hoc analyses of clinical trials have suggested that a higher percentage of systolic blood pressure time in target range (SBP-TTR) was associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is limited evidence from large prospective cohort studies on the relationship between long-term SBP-TTR and the risk of CVD.OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this stu
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Adhering to the EAT-Lancet diet has been observed to be associated with lower risks of various morbidities. This study aimed to investigate the association of adhering to the EAT-Lancet diet with incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and identify plasma proteins mediating such association.METHODS: This prospective study involved 202 340 participants free of COP
Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol
