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: In select patients with heart failure, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the most common complementary treatment besides medical treatment. We aimed to assess the association between post CRT-implant changes in cardiovascular medication and cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalization.METHODS: 211 patients on optimal medical therapy eligible for CRT were retrospe

In this paper, we consider the problem of robust optimization for a system with uncertainty of rank one. The main result is the canonical parameterization of all destabilizing uncertainties in the dual problem. The corresponding result in the rational case has been previously stated in terms of unstable zero-pole cancellations.In this paper the result is extended to the class of non-rational syste

Many studies have reported an increased incidence of inhibitors in previously untreated patients (PUPs) with severe haemophilia A after the introduction of recombinant products. It was the objective of this study to investigate whether the inhibitor incidence has increased between 1990 and 2009 in an unselected cohort of PUPs with severe haemophilia A (FVIII<1 %). Patients were consecutively recru

AIMS/BACKGROUND: Increased retinopathy progression has been reported after cataract surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus. To assess the influence of cataract surgery on visual acuity and retinopathy progression, all diabetic patients who were subjected to cataract surgery during 1991-3 have been followed up at the Department of Ophthalmology in Helsingborg. The average follow up time was 2 y

Aims: To study the frequency, etiology, and premortal abnormalities in exercise-related sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the young in Sweden. Methods: All subjects with SCD in 10–35-year olds in Sweden during 2000–10, were included (n = 514). Information about each case was retrieved from death certifications, autopsy- and medical records. The number of SCD in athletes was compared to national figure

AIM: To investigate the need, in the Northern European setting, to perform kidney biopsy in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome.METHODS: In this retrospective study 124 individuals aged 1-18 years with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, followed in the paediatric hospitals in southern Sweden from 1999 to 2018, were included.RESULTS: There was a median follow-up time of 6.5 (0.2-16.8) ye

Phytoplankton have short generation times, flexible reproduction strategies, large population sizes and high standing genetic diversity, traits that should facilitate rapid evolution under directional selection. We quantified local adaptation of copper tolerance in a population of the diatom Skeletonema marinoi from a mining-exposed inlet in the Baltic Sea and in a non-exposed population 100 km aw

Aims/hypothesis: Low birthweight is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Most previous studies are based on cross-sectional prevalence data, not designed to study the timing of onset of type 2 diabetes in relation to birthweight. We aimed to examine associations of birthweight with age-specific incidence rate of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged to older adults over two decades. Methods: Adults aged 30

Santeri from Finland chose Lund for its top-ranked university and vibrant student life. Drawn to the programme’s multidisciplinary depth, he thrives in an international classroom where lively debates, engaged professors and strong community shape his everyday experience.

The constantly increasing awareness of protecting the environment has put electrical roads in the spotlight as an alternative solution to fossil driven means of transport. Dan Zethraeus has developed an innovative idea for a prototype electrical road which conductively supplies power to the cars whilst driving. The concept is to place a line of short rail segments in the middle of the drive lanes

Våld i samband med fotbollsmatcher har länge varit ett problem i Sverige. Den 30 mars 2014 nådde det sin kulmen när en Djurgårdssupporter misshandlades till döds i samband med en match mot Helsingborgs IF, vilket blev starten för en kris som drabbade både Helsingborgs IF och dess supporterförening Kärnan. Studien, som fokuserar på medlemsorganisationers kriskommunikation och organisations-samarbetFootball-related violence has been a problem in Sweden for a long time. On 30 March 2014 it reached its climax when a Djurgården supporter was killed in connection with a match against Helsingborgs IF, which started a crisis that affected both Helsingborgs IF and its supporters' association Kärnan. This study, which focuses on member organizations’ crisis communication and interorganizational

Solkräm – en miljöfara? Solskyddsprodukter används i allt större utsträckning för att skydda oss mot bland annat hudcancer. Vi informeras ständigt om vikten av att smörja oss med solskydd för att undvika skador på huden. Vad som däremot inte informeras om är att vi samtidigt bidrar till stora utsläpp av kemikalier som kan ge negativa effekter för livet i sjöar och hav. Solvårdsprodukter såldes The aim of the study was to perform a hazard assessment of ingredients in sunscreen products available on the Swedish market. Data was collected by documentation of all ingredients in 110 frequently occurring sunscreen products from 15 different brands and by a screening of four known databases for collection of hazard classifications of the ingredients. The study shows that 96 out of 347 ingredie

Enligt den så kallade korrigeringsregeln i 14 kap. 19 § IL följer att när ett re-sultat av en näringsverksamhet blir lägre, till följd av att villkor som avtalats avviker från vad som skulle ha avtalats mellan sinsemellan oberoende nä-ringsidkare, ska resultatet beräknas till det belopp som det skulle uppgått till om sådana villkor inte funnits. Bestämmelsen är ett uttryck för en internation-ellt Chapter 14 § 19 of the Swedish income taxation act, also known as the “cor-rection rule”, states that when the result of a business is lower than it should be because a contractual term deviates from what would be the contractual terms between independent businesses, the result shall be calculated as if such contractual terms did not exist. The rule is a manifestation of the international-ly recog

How can anthropologists negotiate access in high-profile, bureaucratic apparatuses, such as a UN human rights monitoring mechanism – and what can a detailed account of these negotiations tell us of such apparatuses, their operational dynamics and the processes through which they exert an impact, broadly construed? This article addresses these questions through the notion of tactical subjectivity b
