Insect migration redistributes enormous quantities of biomass, nutrients and species globally. A subset of insect migrants perform extreme long-distance journeys, requiring specialized morphological, physiological and behavioral adaptations. The migratory globe skimmer dragonfly (Pantala flavescens) is hypothesized to migrate from India across the Indian Ocean to East Africa in the autumn, with a

Aims. Chronotropic incompetence and impaired heart rate (HR) recovery are related to mortality. Guidelines lack specific reference values for HR recovery. We defined normal values and studied blunted HR response and recovery and mortality risk. Methods and results. We included 9917 subjects (45% females) aged 18–85 years who performed a cycle exercise test. We defined normal values for peak HR, HR

BACKGROUND: Given the limited research focusing on psychotherapeutic interventions for suicide attempters, it is noteworthy that the Attempted Suicide Short Intervention Program (ASSIP) has demonstrated promising results in previous studies. In this investigation, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of ASSIP across diverse healthcare settings, outlining the study design and planned evaluation.MET

The detrimental effect of a lengthy summer vacation on important scholastic abilities such as reading, writing and mathematical skills is relatively well documented, but how language skills are affected by summer vacation is less investigated. The purpose of our study is to investigate how lexical organization and retrieval assessed by a semantic verbal fluency (SVF) task and oral narrative abilit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syfte Syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka om barn födda i Sverige till invandrare (icke-Svenskar) hade en ökad risk för typ 1 diabetes (T1D) och om immunogenetiska markörer för T1D (HLA och icke-HLA genetiska faktorer samt ö-cellsantikroppar) skiljde sig från svenska T1D barn (Svenskar). Målsättningen var också att analysera ärftliga förutsättningar (T1D och TThis thesis examined whether the offspring of immigrants (non-Swedes) to Sweden are at increased risk of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) when they are born or live in Sweden. It also evaluated if their T1D and T2D-related genes differed from Swedish patients and whether this genetic heritage determined the types and existence of islet autoantibodies at time of diagnosis and affected the classification of di

Background: Dietary advice remains the cornerstone of prevention and management of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, understanding the efficacy of dietary interventions is confounded by the challenges inherent in assessing free living diet. Here we profiled dietary metabolites to investigate glycaemic deterioration and cardiometabolic risk in people at risk of or living with T2D. Methods: We analyse

Importance Active perinatal care increases survival of extremely preterm infants; however, improved survival might be associated with increased disability among survivors. Objective To determine neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely preterm children at 2.5 years (corrected age). Design, Setting, and Participants Population-based prospective cohort of consecutive extremely preterm infants born be

Objectives: Occupational exposure to diesel exhaust is common due the widespread use of dieselpowered combustion engines. Diesel exhaust is chemically complex and consists of thousands of compounds present as gases and particulate matter. Both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and elemental carbon(EC) have been used as markers for diesel exhaust exposure. Currently EC is regarded as the best surrogate of die

Background Diabetes has been defined on the basis of different biomarkers, including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h plasma glucose in an oral glucose tolerance test (2hOGTT), and HbA(1c). We assessed the effect of different diagnostic definitions on both the population prevalence of diabetes and the classification of previously undiagnosed individuals as having diabetes versus not having diabet

Objectives To examine whether multimorbidity aggregates in families in Sweden.Design National explorative family study.Setting Swedish Multigeneration Register linked to the National Patient Register, 1997-2015. Multimorbidity was assessed with a modified counting method of 45 chronic non-communicable diseases according to ICD-10 (international classification of diseases, 10th revision) diagnoses.

Background and objective Breathlessness is associated with higher rates of unplanned health service utilisation. We aimed to evaluate any associations between the severity of breathlessness limiting exertion (hereafter breathlessness), time between breathlessness recording and subsequent unplanned hospital admissions, and length of stay. Methods A retrospective cohort study of adults seen in gener

Introduction The recognition of breathlessness in clinical practice appears suboptimal, despite its prevalence and impact. This study aimed to explore the content of clinical conversations about breathlessness and patients’ level of self-reported openness when discussing their breathlessness. Methods A cross-sectional, online survey of Australian adults (≥18 years) stratified to the 2016 National

I föreliggande psykologexamensuppsats kombinerades kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder i syfte att explorativt undersöka innehållet i pedagogers samtalsgrupper samt för att utforska samtalsledarens roll. Studien utformades i samråd med utbildningsförvaltningen i den studerade kommunen. Åtta samtalsgrupper deltog i en observationsundersökning. Ett strukturerat observationsschema, IPA, användes förIn the presented Master’s Thesis qualitative and quantitative methods were combined in order to, with an explorative approach, examine the content of the Teacher Learning Communities (TLC) and to examine the role of the facilitator. The study was developed in agreement with the Department of Education in the participating municipality. Eight TLCs were observed. A structured observation chart, IPA,

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly diagnosed early, close to its first occurrence due to: (i) increased public awareness with self-screening; (ii) health care initiatives including population screening and opportunistic case finding; and (iii) increased use and surveillance of implantable cardiac devices. At its onset, AF is often low burden, and cardiovascular co-morbidities may be absent o

IntroductionUse of long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) for more than 15 h per day does not reduce mortality or hospitalizations, but may increase the risk of adverse events. We evaluated the relationship between daily oxygen use duration and adverse events, symptoms, and health status in patients on LTOT.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey study of a random sample (N = 650) of adults with ongoing
