BACKGROUND: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) has an excellent prognosis, and recurrence is rare in patients with no evidence of disease (NED) after initial treatment. Despite this, several guidelines recommend long and costly follow-up, with limited evidence of improved patient outcomes. This study aims to examine the value of follow-up in patients with NED after treatment for PTC, by determining th
Background: Estimating excess mortality and years of life lost (YLL) attributed to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) infection provides a comprehensive picture of the mortality burden on society. We aimed to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on age- and sex-specific excess mortality and YLL in Sweden during the first 17 months of the pandemic. Methods: In this population-based observati
Earlier treatment of breast cancer results in better survival. Screening enables this through detection of tumors before they cause symptoms. On the negative side, some tumors if not detected through screening would not cause symptoms, leading to overdiagnosis. Improvements in image quality allow even earlier detection and diagnosis of even smaller tumors at an even earlier stage. This study aims
Esophageal perforation is associated with significant mortality, and this may markedly increase with advanced age. This multicenter study investigates this issue in patients older than 80 years. Data on 33 patients >80 years old who underwent conservative (10 patients), endoclip (one patient), stent grafting (11 patients), or surgical treatment (11 patients) for esophageal perforation were collect
BACKGROUND: Prognosis in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains poorly understood due to a lack of unbiased data on the natural history of treated PD. The CamPaIGN study has been the first to prospectively track disease evolution from diagnosis in an unselected population-representative incident cohort. We now report the 10-year follow-up data, focusing on three key irreversible milestones: postural ins

Twitter har beskrivits som ett relevant verktyg för svenska politiker för att hålla sig uppdaterade kring vad som händer inom den politiska världen. Twitter som kanal har tidigare benämnts som ett elitmedium, då det finns en stark närvaro av opin-ionsbildare av olika slag. Det är alltid viktigt att granska makthavares kommuni-kation och hur detta kan påverka demokratin. Vi har genomfört en kvalitaTwitter has been described as a must-have tool for Swedish politicians, to not fall behind in the constant flow of information. Previous research has defined Twitter as an elitist channel, due to its dense population of opinion-makers. It is important to keep a critical approach towards how people in power communicate and what possible effect their communications might have on the democratic proce

Den aktuella studiens syfte var att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan upptagenhet av kost och träning och fyra psykologiska faktorer: hälsoångest, självkänsla, känsla av sammanhang och kroppsuppfattning, då psykiskt välmående som begrepp är alltför mångfacetterat. Ett ytterligare syfte var att undersöka om upptagenhet av kost och träning skiljde sig åt beroende på specifika egenskaper hos The purpose of the present study was to examine whether there are connections between preoccupation with diet, and exercise, and four psychological factors: health anxiety, self-esteem, sense of coherence, and body image, since psychological well- being is a broadly used term. Another aim was to examine whether the preoccupation with diet, and exercise differed depending on some specific character
Medellivslängden för människor runt om i världen är högre än någonsin. Äldre personer löper högre risk för att drabbas av kroniska sjukdomar, inklusive kronisk njursjukdom. Patienter med dysfunktionella njurar behöver dialys. Njurarnas huvudfunktion är att rena blodet från restprodukter och överflödigt vatten. År 2018 hade Sverige 4101 dialyspatienter av vilka 1026 hade hemdialys. En dialyspatientThe average life expectancy for people around the world is higher than ever before. Older people are at higher risk of suffering from chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease. Patients with dysfunctional kidneys need dialysis. The main function of the kidneys is to clean the blood from waste products and excess water. In 2018, Sweden had 4101 dialysis patients of which 1026 had home dial
