Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the development of fatigue and mental illness between 3 and 12 months after critical COVID-19 and explore risk factors for long-lasting symptoms. Study Design and Methods: A prospective, multicenter COVID-19 study in southern Sweden, including adult patients (≥18 years) with rtPCR-confirmed COVID-19 requiring intensive care. Survivors were inv
Background/introductionFlecainide is a commonly used efficient antiarrhythmic drug against atrial fibrillation (AF). P-wave indices reflect the atrial substrate and can predict incident AF, but their role as predictors of treatment outcomes for flecainide-treated AF patients are unknown.PurposeTo assess if P-wave indices can predict efficacy outcomes in long-term flecainide treated AF patients.Met
Gram-negative bacteria from the genus Acinetobacter are responsible for life-threating hospital-related infections such as pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis, especially in immunocompromised patients. Worryingly, Acinetobacter have become multi- and extensively drug resistant (MDR/XDR) over the last few decades. The complement system is the first line of defense against microbes, thus it is hig
Radix Polygalae (the root of Polygala tenuifolia) is a herb widely used in traditional Asian medicine that is thought to exert a variety of neuropsychiatric effects. Radix Polygalae extract can protect against N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) neurotoxicity and induce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, suggesting modulatory roles at glutamatergic synapses and possible antidepressant ac
Introduction: Occupation-based interventions could help to address a growing mental health crisis among young people and adolescents. To develop new interventions and avoid research waste, a review of the academic literature is needed that systematically identifies and describes interventions designed to improve the mental health and wellbeing of 11–25 year-olds. Aim: The scoping review aims to sy
AimTo analyze the impact of a time-gain selective, first-responder dispatch system on the presence of a shockable initial rhythm (SIR), return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and 30-day survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).MethodA retrospective observational study comprising OHCA registry data and dispatch data in the Skåne Region, Sweden (2010–2018). Data were categorized accord
Background: Strenuous exercise has been associated with functional and structural cardiac changes due to local and systemic inflammatory responses, reflecting oxidative, metabolic, hormonal, and thermal stress, even in healthy individuals. We aimed to assess changes in myocardial structure and function using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in master triathletes early after a full-d
Background: Alcohol intake is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC); however, there is limited knowledge on whether changing alcohol drinking habits during adulthood modifies CRC risk. Objective: Leveraging longitudinal exposure assessments on alcohol intake at different ages, we examined the relationship between change in alcohol intake and subsequent CRC risk. Methods: Within th
PURPOSE: Evaluate patient-reported knee function after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) and meniscus suture repair in two different age cohorts compared with a normal population.METHOD: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery was performed on 421 patients at Skåne University Hospital from 2010 to 2014, with a mean (SD) follow-up of 4.2 (1.4) years. Patients and controls were divided into two age coho
Context. Phosphorus (P) is considered to be one of the key elements for life, making it an important element to look for in the abundance analysis of spectra of stellar systems. Yet, only a select number of spectroscopic studies exist to estimate the phosphorus abundances and investigate its trend across a range of metallicities. This is due to the lack of good phosphorus lines in the optical wave
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the USA with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and leukocyte sequestration in brain microvessel segments leading to increased reactive oxygen species. Another important pathway is the effects of CO o
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utvärdera förslagen gällande beskattning av den digitala ekonomin genom införandet av en betydande ekonomisk närvaro (SEP), betydande digital närvaro (SDP) eller införandet av en källskatt.

To fully understand the challenges of taxing the digital economy, I use the Sweden-UK tax treaty to provide a concrete example of how digital business is handled in practice. The tax treaty is used as a too
I den rättspolitiska debatten pekar vissa åklagare på ett växande problem – att misstänkta utnyttjar rätten till tystnad genom att framföra sin berättelse först under huvudförhandlingen då de fått ta del av all bevisning. Detta sägs leda till felaktiga frikännande domar på grund av omedelbarhetsprincipen. I denna kontext har förslag om att införa en variant av Danmarks grundlagsförhör och deras beIn the ongoing legal debates, some prosecutors highlight a growing problem – that suspects seem to be exploiting the right to silence by holding back their statements until the main hearing after they've seen all the evidence. They argue that this tactic leads to wrongful acquittals due to the principle of immediateness. In this context, proposals to introduce a variant of Denmark's consti
Det här arbetets syfte är att ur ett genusrättsvetenskapligt perspektiv undersöka hur diskussionen om samvetsvägran vid abortvård påverkar vår syn på rätten till abort. Min utgångspunkt är att den aktuella frågan handlar om två potentiella mänskliga rättigheter som står mot varandra; rätten till abort och rätten till samvetsvägran vid abortvård. I Sverige har frågan främst aktualiserats genom den The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the discussion on the right to conscientious objection in abortion care may affect our view of the right to abortion. The study is conducted from a gender perspective and the starting point is the contradiction between two potential human rights: the right to abortion and the right to conscientious objection in abortion care. In Sweden, the issue of cons
Den globala uppvärmningen, som till viss del orsakats av människor, påverkar världens pågående klimatförändringar. I takt med denna förändring inträffar naturkatastrofer inte bara mer frekvent, de blir också allt allvarligare. Drabbade länder kan efter en naturkatastrof hamna i en situation där de görs till hjälplösa offer utan möjlighet att själva påverka denna. Vem borde identifieras som skyldig
Nitrous oxide (N2O), like carbon dioxide, is a long-lived greenhouse gas that accumulates in the atmosphere. Over the past 150 years, increasing atmospheric N2O concentrations have contributed to stratospheric ozone depletion1 and climate change2, with the current rate of increase estimated at 2 per cent per decade. Existing national inventories do not provide a full picture of N2O emissions, owin
Denna uppsats har haft som syfte att undersöka gällande rätt med avseende på nödvärnsrättens utformning i svensk, dansk, norsk och engelsk rätt. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod redogörs för lagtext, förarbeten, doktrin och relevant praxis på området, vilket är i enlighet med de utpekade rättskällorna inom rättskälleläran. Rätten till nödvärn i svensk rätt regleras i BrB 24 kap. 1 § och utmärks av aThe main purpose of this paper is to describe the law regarding the right of self-defense in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and England. Using a legal dogmatic method, it intends to describe the rights and possibilities being approved for a civilian in self-defense when being unrightfully attacked. This paper will also describe established law and analyze the right of self-defense as applicable in case l
The power systems of drilling rigs have changed considerably since the early days of steam driven machinery. This paper reviews that progression, from mechanical and diesel electric configurations through to modern hybrid and renewable integrated systems, with a focus on the power conversion technologies that enable each stage. Coverage includes the electrical architecture of drilling rig power sy
