Background: Turner syndrome (TS) is a complex genetic disorder with raised mortality. Our objective was to investigate mortality and causes of death in TS. Methods: A matched retrospective observational study of women with TS recruited from the Turner centers in Sweden were conducted. A total of 472 women with TS, ≥16 years old with a cytogenetically verified diagnosis and 2357 controls, matched f
Introduction: Food systems strongly influence both human and planetary health. Unhealthy diets aremajor risk factors for chronic disease and mortality, while food production contributes substantially togreenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), and other negative environmental impacts. Adopting moresustainable dietary patterns, such as the EAT-Lancet diet, has been proposed as part of the solution, butuncer
INTRODUCTION: Effective management of chronic breathlessness requires understanding people's activity limitations. This study evaluated the extent to which chronic breathlessness limits people's self-reported everyday activities.METHODS: A web-based, cross-sectional survey (adults ≥18 years). Recruitment was through a marketing research company, stratified to the 2016 Australian Census for key dem
Introduction: Different strategies in prophylaxis for haemophilia among countries may affect long-term outcome. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare joint health in persons with severe haemophilia (PwSH) between Sweden and Greece, based on different approaches on prophylaxis initiation and management. Methods: Data were extracted from the PedNet Registry, which collects patient data prospectiv
Objectives: Within the first phase of developing classification criteria for Early-stage Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis, among individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) we explored: 1) symptoms within the first year of noticing their knee(s); 2) features that indicated OA was the cause; and 3) timing and reasons that initially prompted seeking healthcare. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional on
Background Bariatric metabolic surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) effectively treats obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, weight loss varies, necessitating predictive factors. Methods We analysed 12- and 24-month weight loss data from 811 patients (RYGB or SG). Factor Analysis of Mixed Data and neural network (NN) modelling identified distinct patient phenotypes
Objective: Worse women's outcomes after elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair have been widely reported. Similar data have surfaced from cohorts undergoing fenestrated and branched repair; however, studies reporting from a sex perspective are rare and mostly limited to single centre designs. This study aimed to examine survival following nationwide complex endovascular repair according to
BACKGROUND: Bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) in asthma involves both the central and peripheral airways but is primarily relieved with beta-2-agonists and evaluated by spirometry. To date, antimuscarinics can be added as a reliever medication in more severe asthma. We hypothesize that combining both short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) and short-acting muscarinic antagonist (SAMA) could also impr
Background Elite athletes are role models for young sportspersons regarding social media use. Self-objectification, including self-sexualizing, contributes to body dissatisfaction and body shame, especially in young females. For efficient prevention of self-objectification, knowledge is needed about elite athletes’ self-presentation on social media.Objective To compare social media postings indica
An association between high Galectin-4 (Gal-4) and prevalence of diabetes in subjects with heart failure (HF) has previously been reported. The purpose of this study was to confirm these findings, as well as to further investigate this association, in a Swedish HF population. In addition, a second aim was to explore Gal-4’s association with obesity and biomarkers of metabolism and heart failure. G
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a medical condition with important consequences for women’s well-being and reproductive outcomes. Although the etiology of PCOS is not fully understood, there is increasing evidence of both genetic and environmental determinants, including development in early life. We studied a population of 977,637 singleton women born in in Sweden between 1973 and 1995, follo
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The option to treat early colon cancer (CC) with local resection, as well as trials investigating neoadjuvant treatment, has increased the importance of identifying early-stage disease in the workup. Most CC patients are T- and N-staged preoperatively with CT, although its reliability in staging early CC remains elusive. The aim of this study was to investigate CT-staging
Background: Physical inactivity is a main cause of childhood obesity which tracks into adulthood obesity, making it important to address early in life. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is an evidence-based intervention that has shown good effect on physical activity levels in adults, but has not been evaluated in children with obesity. This project aims to evaluate the prerequisites, determ
Objective: Primary stenting of the superficial femoral artery (SFA) in intermittent claudication (IC) has been shown to increase health related quality of life (HRQoL) after 12 and 24 months. An extended follow up of HRQoL 36 and 60 months after randomisation is presented. Methods: A multicentre randomised controlled trial was conducted at seven vascular clinics in Sweden between 2010 and 2020. On
Groundwater is a crucial source of water supply in drought conditions, and an auxiliary water source in wet seasons. Due to its increasing importance in view of climate change, predicting groundwater level (GWL) needs to be improved to enhance management. We used adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) to predict the GWL of the Urmia aquifer in northwestern Iran under various input scenario
The clinical evaluation of regional delays in myocardial motion (myocardial asynchrony) has proved problematic, yet it remains an important functional parameter to evaluate. Prior attempts to quantify regional asynergy have met with limited success, often thwarted by the low temporal resolution of imaging-system data acquisition. If a delay in onset of motion of 30-40 msec is clinically important
