Background and aims Diet and smoking expose the general population to cadmium (Cd), which is a toxic metal that accumulates in the arterial wall. In experimental studies, Cd causes reductions in proliferation of smooth muscle cells and cellular synthesis of procollagen. The aim of this study was to examine whether blood Cd levels, a valid measure of Cd exposure, are associated with increased risk
Background: For health care personnelhandhygieneandwearing appropriate protective gloves are compulsory. We have noticed an increase of hand eczema caused by contact allergy from rubber chemicals such as diphenylguanidine (DPG) in synthetic rubber gloves used by surgeons and surgical nurses. The exposure time to surgical gloves as well as the number of gloves used per day vary. Furthermore surgery
Background Accurate estimation of prognosis in multimorbid hospital patients could improve quality of care. This study aims to determine the relative importance and added value of a performance-based activities of daily living (ADL) measure with regard to mortality prediction. Methods 200 inpatients, aged over 60 years, were recruited at the Department of General Internal Medicine at a tertiary un
Aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) is the main constituent of Lewy bodies, which are a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Environmental factors are thought to be potential triggers capable of initiating the aggregation of the otherwise monomeric α-syn. Braak’s seminal work redirected attention to the intestine and recent reports of dysbiosis have highlighted the potential causative rol
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted production and consumption patterns across the world and forced many organisations to respond. However, there is a lack of understanding as to how sharing platforms have been affected by the pandemic, how they responded to the crisis, and what kinds of long-term implications the pandemic may have on the sharing economy. This study combined systematic literature r
BACKGROUND: Breathlessness is a multidimensional symptom prevalent in elderly affecting many aspects of life. We aimed to determine how different dimensions of breathlessness are associated with physical and mental quality of life (QoL) in elderly men.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional, population-based analysis of 672 men aged 73 years in a Swedish county. Breathlessness was assessed using Dyspn
Purpose: To determine and compare the sensitivity, specificity, and proportion of patients eligible for discharge by the Brain Injury Guidelines and the Mild TBI Risk Score in patients with mild traumatic brain injury and concomitant intracranial injury. Methods: Retrospective review of the medical records of adult patients with traumatic intracranial injuries and an initial Glasgow Coma Scale sco
Objectives: The purpose of this study is the development of a porcine model of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning to investigate alterations in brain and heart mitochondrial function. Design: Two group large animal model of CO poisoning. Setting: Laboratory. Subjects: Ten swine were divided into two groups: Control (n = 4) and CO (n = 6). Interventions: Administration of a low dose of CO at 200 ppm to
Objective: To determine incidence rate and predictors of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in a population-based cohort with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: The study comprised 325 patients diagnosed with AAV from 1997 to 2016. All cases of VTE from prior to vasculitis diagnosis to the end of the study period were identified. The BVAS was used to assess disease activity at diagnosis. V
Background: Most patients with kidney disease have different degrees of proteinuria. Heavy proteinuria causes nephrotic syndrome. The incidences of nephrotic syndrome in adults are approximately three per 100 000 persons. Although if nephrotic syndrome is rare, it is a serious clinical condition. Little is known about health and wellbeing among patients with nephrotic syndrome. It is important for
Objectives: To investigate the interaction effect of sex and early vs. late onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on long-term cognitive and functional outcomes and survival. Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is a prospective, observational, multicentre study of clinical practice involving 1,017 participants diagnosed with mild-to-moderate AD at the start of cholinesterase inhibito
Background: Patients with perioperative myocardial injury are at risk of death and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The primary aim of this study was to determine optimal thresholds of preoperative and perioperative changes in high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) to predict MACCE and mortality. Methods: Prospective, observational, cohort study in patients ≥
A high acoustic energy density is required in the acoustic resonator to increase the throughput of acoustophoresis devices. In this study, through both experiments and numerical simulations, we find that the energy density in bulk-wave-acoustophoresis devices can be enhanced by actuating the device from the side. Based on qualitative free-flow focusing experiments, side actuation shows clear super
Background: Physical activity remains a valuable prevention for metabolic disease. The effects of Nordic walking on cardiovascular risk factors were determined in overweight individuals with normal or disturbed glucose regulation.Methods: We included 213 individuals, aged 60 ± 5.3 years and with body mass index (BMI) of 30.2 ± 3.8 kg/m(2); of these, 128 had normal glucose tolerance (NGT), 35 had i
The spread of invasive pests is increasing due to greater global transportation and climate change-mediated range shifts. In a new community, these invasive species provide a novel resource that native predators or parasitoids can evolve to utilise. For invasive agricultural pests, this could provide top-down control; however, initial attack rates on invasive species in the wild are generally low.
