Aims: In a co-twin control design, we aimed to examine whether individuals who initiate metformin treatment have an altered risk of incident diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA), for up to 11 years after starting the treatment, compared with their non-treated co-twin. Methods: In all twin pairs different for metformin treatment (N=1 261 pairs) and all eligible twins/singletons (N=52 341) aged 35–75 ye
Popular Abstract in Swedish Från början användes uttrycket "mannen i ledet" bara om meniga soldater, men det är också ett bildligt uttryck med innebörden gemene man, gräsrot, medlem på fältet/gräsrotsnivå/verkstadsgolvet. Den här avhandlingen handlar om unga män som under mitten av 1990-talet gjorde lumpen på ett pjäskompani vid Wendes artilleriregemente i skånska Hässleholm. ”Pjäs” betyder kanoneThis dissertation deals with young men who in the mid 1990s made their military service at a cannon company at Wende’s artillery regiment in the scanian town Hässleholm. ”Cannon” refers not only to cannons, but also to haubitses, grenade-throwers and other heavy arms. The focus, however, is on cultural and social aspects of everyday military service. What does actually happen in the encounter betw
Since many years we routinely use diagnostic selective nerve root blocks (SNRB) at our department when evaluating patients with cervical radiculopathy. Frequently patients who also presented with headache reported that the headache disappeared when the nerve root responsible for the radicular pain was blocked with local anaesthetics. Headache has been described as a companioning symptom related to
Background The clinical effect of routine intracoronary thrombus aspiration before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate whether thrombus aspiration reduces mortality. Methods We conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial, with enrollment of
Background: Manic episodes with depressive symptoms represent a severe presentation of bipolar disorder. The effi-cacy of drugs shown useful for pure mania is largely unproven in the subset of patients with depressive symptoms. We reviewed different post-hoc analyses evaluating asenapine's effects in patients experiencing depressive symptoms during manic episodes. Methods: Different post-hoc analy
Study objectives: In 1996, researchers in Sweden initiated a collaborative randomized study comparing lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) and physical training with physical training alone. The primary end point was health status; secondary end points included survival and physiologic measurements. Design: After an initial 6-week physical training program, researchers' patients were randomized to
Background: Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the major cause of acute cardiovascular events. The biomarker PRO-C6 measuring Endotrophin, a matrikine of collagen type VI, may provide valuable information detecting subjects in need of intensified strategies for secondary prevention. Objective: In this study, we evaluate endotrophin in human atherosclerotic plaques and circulating levels of PRO-
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in transcutaneous oxygen pressure (tcpO2) and systolic toe pressure (TP) during endovascular intervention. Methods: This was a single centre prospective, non-randomised, observational feasibility study. Patients with chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI) due to infrainguinal disease scheduled for endovascular treatment were included betw
Background Previous research has established that direct and indirect forms of aggression differ in their association with gender and type of psychological difficulties. One purpose of the present study was to test if the same applies to direct and indirect victimization. A second purpose was to study these associations not only cross-sectionally (as in most previous research) but also longitudina
Ambitionen med föreliggande studie är att undersöka musikaliskt samspel i musikundervisning online. Även om studien fokuserar på hur lärare har anpassat sin metodik under den pågående Covid-19-epidemin, har ambitionen även varit att undersöka hur framtida onlineundervisning i musik skulle kunna genomföras i en globaliserad värld där hållbart resande blivit en förutsättning för att motverka ytterliThe present study seeks to examine musical interaction in online education. Although the study focuses on how teachers have adapted their teaching methods to the new circumstances dictated by the still-ongoing covid-19 pandemic, the ambition has also been to investigate how a beneficial music education online could be conducted in order to promote a global teaching environment with sustainable tra
I mervärdesskatterätten har det uppmärksammats problem i form av förekomsten av bedrägerier. Inom EU uppskattades ett bortfall från momsintäkter med 140 miljarder Euro år 2018, varav bedrägerier var en bidragande orsak. Uppsatsen behandlar mervärdesskattebedrägerier och kommer fram till att dessa kan göras på mer eller mindre sofistikerade sätt. Det största fokuset ligger på karusellhandel, vilkaIn the system of value added tax the issue of tax fraud and evasion has been observed. Within the European Union it was estimated that the difference between VAT revenue and the VAT total tax liability was 140 billion Euro in the year 2018, of which tax fraud and evasion was a contributing factor. This essay examines VAT fraud and concludes that these fraudulent behaviours can be executed in more
De senaste 100 åren har den globala medeltemperaturen ökat i genomsnitt 0,74 grader, vilket medför stora effekter för såväl människor som djur och natur. En av de största konsekvenserna till den globala uppvärmningen är att den stigande havsnivån blir allt mer påtaglig världen över. Glaciärer och inlandsisar har börjat smälta allt mer, där avsmältningen medför en global ökning i havsnivån. HavsnivThe rising sea level is becoming more evident around the world as less as well as more developed countries are starting to fully comprehend the consequenses. It is also generally accepted that the sea level rise is accelerated by human-induced global warming. Glaciers and ice sheets are melting more and more, which together with temperature induced thermal expansion of the seas which leads to a gl
Purpose: To study the feasibility of automatically identifying normal digital mammography (DM) exams with artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the breast cancer screening reading workload. Methods and materials: A total of 2652 DM exams (653 cancer) and interpretations by 101 radiologists were gathered from nine previously performed multi-reader multi-case receiver operating characteristic (MRMC
Neutralizing antibodies (NAb) able to react to heterologous viruses are generated during natural HIV-1 infection in some individuals. Further knowledge is required in order to understand the factors contributing to induction of cross-reactive NAb responses. Here a well-established model of experimental pathogenic infection in cynomolgus macaques, which reproduces long-lasting HIV-1 infection, was
The aim of this study was to verify the advanced inhomogeneous dose distribution produced by a volumetric arc therapy technique (RapidArc) using 3D gel measurements and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. The TPS (treatment planning system)-calculated dose distribution was compared with gel measurements and MC simulations, thus investigating any discrepancy between the planned dose delivery and the actu
Background and purpose Although the incidence of hip fracture during the past 50 years has increased, a break in this trend has been reported in the last decade. Whether this change is attributable to changes in bone mineral density (BMD) or whether it varies between urban and rural regions is unknown. Methods We evaluated changes in annual hip fracture incidence in women aged >/= 50 years in one
The elutability of adsorbed fibrinogen by cationic surfactants of different chain lengths (dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide, tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide), and an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS)) was studied using in situ ellipsometry. The concentrations of the surfactants were twice the CMC in water and for fibrinogen, 0.4 mg ml−1. The inve
Cities are being increasingly recognized internationally for their importance in addressing climate change. The 21st century has already seen the world population shift to being primarily urban and this trend is expected to continue. In order to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, municipalities must find ways to effectively govern their transitions to being sustainable and liveable for the
