As our knowledge of diseases and the development of new technologies increases,many health problems that were lethal in the past can now be cured. Couple thisto better life quality and improved medical care, we are seeing an increase in theaverage life expectancy. The downside to this, however, is that diseases that developwith age are becoming more common. There is currently an estimated 47 milliCerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia. In this work, we mainly studied the in vitro Abet

Local targeted treatment of bone and joint infections using antibiotic-containing carriers is a common practice today. A recently FDA approved biphasic calcium sulphate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) carrier containing gentamicin has been reported to give a sustained drug release, highly effective in eradicating bone infections. We present the first study evaluating the widely used aminoglycoside tobramy

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine, using a top-down genetic analysis, the degree of specificity of the genetic risk factors for individual forms of substance use disorders (SUD). Method: We examined and followed to December 31, 2018, all individuals born in Sweden between 1960 and 1990 (N = 2,772,752) diagnosed with any of the following six SUDs: alcohol use disorder (AUD), dru

Regular physical activity (PA) and limited sedentary time (SED) are highly recommended in international guidelines for patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Data on PA and SED are often self-reported in clinical practice and, hence, reliable and valid questionnaires are crucial. This study aimed to assess the test–retest reliability, criterion validity and agreement of two PA and one SED qu

Background Approximately one-third-of patients with transient new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) during hospitalization for noncardiac surgery or medical illness will have recurrent AF within 1 year when assessed using two 14-day ECG monitors. The proportion of patients that would be diagnosed with recurrent AF with less monitoring is unknown. Methods We used data from a prospective cohort of part

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the fastest-evolving human pathogens. Understanding HIV-1 transmission, within-host adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics is pivotal for development of interventions and vaccines. HIV-1 infection is generally caused by a single transmitted founder virus (TFV), and TFV sequences are typically obtained using single genome amplificatio

Women constitute a minority among patients in forensic psychiatric care, which aims to improve the patients’ health while ensuring safety for patients, caregivers, and society. Participation in forensic psychiatric care can be complex; its definition depends on the context and perspective and is influenced by several factors. This study examined the perceptions of female patients and caregivers re

To further understand the inter-relationship of the familial transmission of major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), we examine, via a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, risks for AUD and MD in 1,244,516 individuals born in Sweden from 1970 to 1990 to intact mother-father pairs as a function of parental diagnoses of MD and/or AUD. Across the nine possible mating types, we

Universal screening for defective mismatch repair (dMMR) in colorectal cancer utilizes immunohistochemical staining for MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PSM2. Additionally, BRAF V600E mutations status and MLH1 hypermethylation should be performed to distinguish germline and somatic dMMR alterations. A decade of Danish population-based registries has been analysed regarding screening uptake, detection rate and

BACKGROUND: There is a growing body of evidence indicating the significant role of the immune system and immune cells in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the exact role of genes from various immune cell types in AD remains unclear. We aimed to utilize summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) to explore the potential causal relationships between genes in specific immune

The Amsterdam 2022 International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport (6th International Conference on Concussion in Sport) was the first Concussion in Sport Group (CISG) consensus to consider the para athlete.1 To date, a lack of research in para sport on most aspects of concussion has prevented the development of evidence-informed consensus on any aspects of concussion care for para athlet

Aims: To investigate if addition of metformin to standard care (life-style advice) reduces the occurrence of cardiovascular events and death after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with newly detected prediabetes. Methods: The Myocardial Infarction and new treatment with Metformin study (MIMET) is a large multicentre registry-based randomised clinical trial (R-RCT) within the SWEDEHEART regis

Background: Cardiac arrhythmias are a common health problem. Both common and rare genetic risk factors exist for cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare disease that may manifest various arrhythmias. Few large-scale whole exome sequencing studies elucidating the contribution of rare variations to arrhythmias have been published. Objective: To access gene collapsing analysis of rare vari

Integrated pest management (IPM) is an important tool for sustainable crop production. IPM includes a diversity of methods, e.g., the use of biological control agents (BCAs) for disease control or growth promotion. While there is an increasing interest in the use of BCAs, less is known about their environmental costs and benefits on wild species, such as wild crop relatives. For example, a BCA may

The mental health of the health workforce has been receiving more attention, especially since the pandemic. Levels of burnout, moral injury, and mental disorders, including suicide, among physicians are cause for concern. Healthcare leadership in workplaces plays a crucial role in addressing this important issue, which is also related to the ability to attract and retain physicians. This chapter p

Background: Disorders affecting the nervous system are diverse and include neurodevelopmental disorders, late-life neurodegeneration, and newly emergent conditions, such as cognitive impairment following COVID-19. Previous publications from the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor Study estimated the burden of 15 neurological conditions in 2015 and 2016, but these analyses did not i
