Objective: The number of type-II endometrial cancer patients has been increasing and the prognosis is not favorable. We aim to investigate whether sarcopenia index in any of several different muscles could serve as a novel biomarker of prognosis in patients with type-II endometrial cancer. Methods: We retrospectively investigated a total of 194 patients at four hospitals. Ninety patients were trea
Purpose: A pilot study to identify bacterial biofilm in the lacrimal sacs of patients with chronic dacryocystitis, and in patients with epiphora but without discharge, using scanning electron microscopy. Methods: Five patients: two with nasolacrimal duct obstruction without dacryocystitis, and three with dacryocystitis refractory to antibiotics, underwent external dacryocystorhinostomy. One contro

Background: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery. Despite these long-term consequences, follow-up care is often insufficient, and access to reliable information and support remains limited. Broader initiatives to address post–cardiac arrest care are still lacking. This qualitative study r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Jätteplaneterna, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus, är de största planeterna i solsystemet. De ligger långt från solen och har alla betydande gasatmosfärer, upp emot hundra gånger mer massiva än hela jorden. Tack vare de tjocka gashöljena, med en sammansättning som liknar solens, kan man förstå att jätteplaneterna bildades i en gasskiva. Denna skiva kallas för solGiant planets form embedded in a protoplanetary disc around a young star. Close to the midplane a large fraction of the available mass in solids is found in particles of cm to dm in size, which drift towards the star due to friction with the surrounding gas. In paper I, II, III we describe a novel theory that explains how embryos, planetesimals larger than ~1000 km, grow efficiently by sweeping up
The debate on the legislation on sexual offense has a long history regarding the current wording, which defines the circumstances of the crimes rape and sexual coercion should be removed and the line between criminal and unpunished deed should be drawn at the level of whether participation was involuntarily. In October 2016 the Sexual Offences Committee introduces a new SOU (Swedish Government Off

Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) is a member of a large family of polypeptide growth factors. TGFβ signals mainly through the intracellular proteins Smad2 and Smad3, which are highly similar in amino acid sequence identity. A number of studies have shown that these proteins, dependent on context, have distinct roles in the TGFβ signaling pathway. TGFβ is one of the most potent inhibitors of hem
Background: Galectin 3 and ST2 are mediators and biomarkers of myocardial fibrosis and remodeling that have recently entered the clinical practice guidelines as prognostic factors in heart failure patients. Elevated galectin 3 and ST2 levels in acute myocardial infarction patients have also been associated with increased incidence of adverse events during follow-up. Purpose: We aimed to assess the
Genetic risk scores (GRSs) have been associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in large studies. We asked whether expanding an established 27-variant GRS (GRS27) to a 50-variant GRS (GRS50) improved CHD prediction and whether GRSs are independent of self-reported family history of CHD.
Aims: Familial risks for coronary heart disease (CHD) in families with multiple affected siblings have not been thoroughly studied. This nationwide cohort study aimed to determine familial risks for hospitalization or death due to CHD in families with multiple affected siblings. Methods and results: The study is a nationwide follow-up study. The Swedish Multigeneration Register data on 0-76-year-
Abstract Background. The plasma level of cystatin C is a better marker than plasma creatinine for successful aging. It has been assumed that the advantage of cystatin C is not only due to it being a better marker for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) than creatinine, but also because an inflammatory state of a patient induces a raised cystatin C level. However, the observations of an association be
