Background: Bone erosions may appear early or later during rheumatoid arthritis (RA), causing joint damage and functional impairment. However, in some patients erosions do not occur, even after several years of disease. This study evaluates the prevalence, clinical relevance and possible predictors of erosion-free RA. Methods: Six hundred and eight patients from an early RA cohort (BARFOT) having
OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence and timing of knee surgery (including meniscal, ligamentous, synovial, and osteotomy) in the 10 years prior to primary total knee replacement (TKR) between England and Sweden.METHODS: This was a population-based, case-control study within England and southern Sweden using electronic health care databases. Patients underwent primary TKR between 2015 and 2019. Ri
Aim: To determine the importance of different biogeographical processes (vicariance, dispersal, long-distance dispersal and establishment or LDDE) for the current distribution of metalmark moths, a group of small insects, using a time-calibrated molecular tree. Location: Global. Methods: We sampled 104 species of metalmark moths with representatives from all six major biogeographical regions of th
A cluster of metabolic factors have been merged into an entity named the metabolic syndrome. Although the characteristics of this syndrome have varied over time the presently used definition was established in 2009. The presence of three abnormal findings out of five components qualifies a person for the metabolic syndrome: elevated waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density
Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) is often recommended as a bridging therapy during temporary interruptions in warfarin treatment, despite lack of evidence. The aim of this study was to see whether we could find benefit from LMWH bridging. We studied all planned interruptions of warfarin within the Swedish anticoagulation register Auricula during 2006 to 2011. Low-molecular-weight heparin bridgi
Objective: To analyze the distribution of 3 collagen types in healthy tympanic membranes, during healing of a perforation, and during infection. Design: Immunohistochemical study of collagen types I, II, and III in the tympanic membranes of healthy rats as well as during healing of a perforation and in the presence of infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae at various time points. Setting: Laborat
We investigated whether renal function and microalbuminuria are independent predictors and whether any interaction exists between them, regarding future cardiovascular disease in hypertensive patients (n=10 881) followed for 4.5 years. The primary end points (PEs) were fatal and nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke and other cardiovascular deaths. Creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GF
The aim of this work is to study present Rwandan social identities. The aim is made operational by posing the question; how are group identities produced and reproduced in Rwanda? In order to answer this the study uses the bourdieuesian notion of habitus, incorporated products of history that are active principles for unification of practices and representations, as the analytical concept of socia
For understanding undue politicization, Wilhelm Agrell and Gregory Treverton in their book National Intelligence and Science (2015) describe ‘Intelligence Modes of Science’ at work in also science’s policy-maker-analyst interface, while analytical social epistemology points at medialization as additional background. In this paper, securitization’s process is used as frame for exploring how IPCC’s,
Patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) show impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL), an important target for therapeutic intervention. Impaired iron homeostasis may be one mechanism underlying the poor physical condition of CHF patients. This detailed subanalysis of the previously published FAIR-HF study evaluated baseline HRQoL in iron-deficient patients with CHF and the effect of intr
The following report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Skoklosters castle south of Uppsala. The aim of the evaluation is to review whether the available time for evacuating the people inside the building in case of fire is enough. The castle, built during the 17th century, consists of four floors as well as a cellar and attic and is considered a museum due to its historic value. A risk analys
Group exhibition. 08.06.2025 – 20.07.2025 Walking, hiking, running, trekking, pilgrimage, escaping...The exhibition’s heart is the immediate experience of the landscape’s vastness, without infrastructure and with a sense of one’s own physical energy, but also of its limits. The exhibition All good things are wild and free. Wandern, pilgern, Spuren finden is about movement in nature and being moved
Abstract: The breast cancer long-term survival rate has improved; early detection of local recurrence and second primary cancers has been crucial to this success. Mammography is the standard imaging technique for follow-up, but its sensitivity is affected by breast density and post-treatment changes. This article discusses the role of mammography in the follow-up of women after breast cancer treat

Here we report on findings for four rock samples with melt texture found in a gravel pit within a glaciofluvial deposit near the small town of Kitkiöjärvi in northernmost Sweden. The samples are comprised of granitic clasts embedded in a brown fine-grained melt matrix. The samples all contain quartz grains and/or clasts exhibiting multiple sets of planar deformation features oriented parallel to c
A practical and accessible guide that demystifies ForEx risk for managers in all areas of business Virtually any organisation active in the global economy is impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange (FX or ForEx) markets. Managers need to understand this increasingly complex issue and measure their firm's exposure to risk. Corporate Foreign Exchange Risk Management is an in-depth yet accessibl
Background: Healthy lifestyles are inversely associated with the risk of noncommunicable diseases, which are leading causes of death. However, few studies have used longitudinal data to assess the impact of changing lifestyle behaviours on all-cause and cancer mortality. Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, lifestyle profiles of 308,497 ca
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of a randomized controlled pilot study with lifestyle-promoting text messages as a treatment for hypertension in primary care.DESIGN: Randomized controlled pilot trial.SETTING: Three primary health care centers in southern Sweden.SUBJECTS: Sixty patients aged 40-80 years with hypertension were included.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Feasibility of the pilot study, i.
