Introduction: It is well known that urinary tract infection (UTI) during pregnancy is associated with preterm birth, but information about the risk of preterm birth depending on gestational week of infection is sparingly described in the literature. Material and Methods: An observational study based on data from Swedish registers including women giving birth 2014–2020 (n = 684 595). Pregnant women

Introduction: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a technique combining vaginal entrance to the abdomen with endoscopic overview. Previous studies have shown that vNOTES decreases operating time, hospitalization, postoperative complications, and pain. We aimed to present patient demographics, costs, and surgical outcomes following the implementation of vNOTES for be

Introduction: Educational attainment, widely used in epidemiologic studies as a surrogate for socioeconomic status, is a predictor of cardiovascular health outcomes. Methods: A two-stage genome-wide meta-analysis of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), and triglyceride (TG) levels was performed while accounting for gene-educational attainment inter

We evaluate the shared genetic regulation of mRNA molecules, proteins and metabolites derived from whole blood from 3029 human donors. We find abundant allelic heterogeneity, where multiple variants regulate a particular molecular phenotype, and pleiotropy, where a single variant associates with multiple molecular phenotypes over multiple genomic regions. The highest proportion of share genetic re

Animal migration has fascinated scientists and the public alike for centuries, yet migratory animals are facing diverse threats that could lead to their demise. The Anthropocene is characterised by the reality that humans are the dominant force on Earth, having manifold negative effects on biodiversity and ecosystem function. Considerable research focus has been given to assessing anthropogenic im

Objectives: Asthma and allergic diseases are the most frequent chronic diseases in childhood worldwide, and considered a burden for the affected children and their families. The diseases impose an economic burden on society if not diagnosed and treated properly and management of and these diseases are challenging for healthcare professionals. The aim of the present investigation was to assess the

Boilerplate är en term som används för att beskriva standardiserade klausuler som ofta återfinns i slutet av ett avtal och som behandlar generella frågor som inte är beroende av avtalets art eller omfattning. Det finns flertalet olika boilerplate, varav en är integrationsklausulen. Klausulen har i och med internationaliseringen av den kommersiella rätten blivit mycket vanligt förekommande i svenskBoilerplate is a term used to describe standardized clauses that often appear at the end of a contract and deals with general issues that are not dependent on the nature or scope of the agreement. There are several different boilerplates, one of which is the entire agreement clause. The entire agreement clause has become very common in Swedish law due to the internationalization of Swedish busines

Att undersöka stjärnor i infrarött är en relativt ny företeelse till skillnad från optisk astronomi (dvs. synligt ljus). Det var först på 60-talet med teleskopet Stratoscope II som man lyckades få spektra från stjärnor i infrarött (våglängder på runt 3 m), och upptäckte förekomsten av vatten i kalla röda jättar. Den bakomliggade problematiken till varför modern infraröd astronomi är så ungt är våThe advent of infrared astronomy, unlike optical astronomy that was developed over centuries, was delayed until the space age due to our own atmosphere acting as an efficient shield towards this radiation. With a lot of molecules (including water) emitting in the infrared region, it was first in the late 1990s that water no longer was deemed special and was observed in many cooler (K-M) giant star

Based on articles published 1990-2004 in 21 LIS journals, a set of co-citation analyses were performed to study changes in research fronts over the last 15 years, where LIS is at now; and to discuss where it is heading. To study research fronts, here defined as current and influential co-cited papers, a citations among documents methodology was applied; and to study changes, the analyses were time

Epidemiological studies indicate that risks of certain cancers are increased in individuals hospitalized for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which may not be representative of the entire population of T2DM patients as most of them are treated in primary health cares. To examine the subsequent cancer risk in individuals with T2DM from hospitals and primary health cares, and in their siblings and s

It has been suggested that alcohol consumption is associated with increased risk of a few solid cancers, although studies that examined the association with hematological malignancies have shown inconsistent results. In this study, we examined the risk of hematological malignancies among individuals who had alcohol use disorders (AUDs) in Sweden.

Previous studies suggest that hormone therapy may play an important role in the development of meningioma. However, it is unclear whether medication with tamoxifen can prevent meningioma. Our study cohort included all women who were diagnosed with breast cancer between 1961 and 2010, and a total of 227 535 women were identified with breast cancer with a median age at diagnosis of 63 years. Women d

The association between breast cancer and warfarin is inconclusive as most previous studies examined their association using patients with thromboembolism, whereas thromboembolism itself is a risk factor for cancer. We explored this issue using patients received mechanical heart valves replacement as a proxy for warfarin exposure as these patients need a lifelong warfarin treatment, and compared t

Background:Individuals with lactose intolerance are recommended to avoid milk or dairy products, which may affect the development of cancer.Methods:We identified individuals with lactose intolerance from several Swedish Registers linked to the Swedish Cancer Registry to calculate standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) for cancers in the breast, lung, and ovary.Results:A total of 22 788 individuals w

Background. Previous studies found an increased risk of cancer in hospitalized asthma patients, but it is not known whether patients from primary health care show a similar risk pattern. In addition, it is unclear whether the diagnosis of asthma can influence the prognosis of subsequent cancer. Methods. Asthma patients were identified from Swedish inpatient, outpatient, and primary health care reg
