Background and aims: Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment for selected patients with end stage heart failure. Kidney function often declines after heart transplantation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the decline in eGFR in different populations. However, the effect of SGLT2i on kidney function in heart transplant recipients is unknown. Methods: The Dapaglifloz
In wildland fires, burning particles of vegetative material can be lofted by the fire plume and are subsequently transported horizontally by cross wind. Depending on the state of the firebrands (flaming, smoldering, inert hot, inert cold) upon landing they bear the potential to cause secondary fires. The present work introduces the reader to existing theoretical analyses of the problem of combusti
While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric communities must have responded in more diverse ways. This paper investigates the site-based socio-ecological a
In May 2024 with a subsequent update in June 2025, the Swedish Medical Products Agency’s expert group revised guidelines on the management and treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. This is an abridged version and commentary on the full recommendation including specific recommendations for the RSV-season 2025/2026. Key points are: (i) RSV is a seasonal, highly contagious infecti
Introduction: Dislocation is a major complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for femoral neck fractures (FNFs). Dual mobility cups (DMCs) are in clinical practice for patients at risk of dislocation in primary-and revision arthroplasty. This study investigated whether changing routines from conventional THA (cTHA) to DMC for fracture patients at our orthopaedic unit resulted in a reduced disl
Background, Motivation, and ObjectiveThe demand for tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) is increasing alongside the advancement of hybrid imaging such as photoacoustic imaging (PAI). Developing suitable TMMs for PAI is challenging due to the need to mimic both optical and acoustic tissue properties. The TMMs with tunable properties are needed for the calibration of these imaging modalities, as well
Season of birth, viral infections, HLA haplogenotypes and non-HLA variants are implicated in the development of celiac disease and celiac disease autoimmunity, suggesting a combined role of genes and environmental exposures. The aim of the study was to further decipher the biological pathways conveying the season of birth effect in celiac disease autoimmunity to gain novel insights into the early
This study investigates the ignitability of hydrogen in an optical heavy-duty SI engine. While the ignition energy of hydrogen is exceptionally low, the high load and lean mixtures used in heavy-duty hydrogen engines lead to a high gas density, resulting in a much higher breakdown voltage than in light-duty SI engines. Spark plug wear is a concern, so there is a need to minimise the spark energy w
IntroductionThe ESCAPER project explores cardiovascular resilience in individuals who, despite a high-risk factor burden-longstanding Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), obesity, or kidney failure-avoid or delay macrovascular complications. This suggests underlying protective mechanisms. Initiated in September 2022, this exploratory study aims to uncover and define these mechanisms, potentially leading to nove
The integration of peer support workers (PSW) into the mental health services workforce has offered additional avenues to strengthen service provision. In Sweden, the availability of peer support workers has grown significantly over the past decade, yet there has been insufficient investigation into their organization and implementation. Consequently, there is a growing need for further research i
Background/Objectives: Worldwide, men experience a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) than women. Methods: To increase understanding of the underlying reasons for this sex-related difference, we analysed general and sex-related risk factors for PC in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort (women/men No. = 293,682/136,728; 717/577 PC-cases). Results:
BACKGROUND/AIM: Appendiceal adenocarcinomas are rare tumours with aggressive traits, most often diagnosed incidentally after routine appendectomy. Survival rates vary greatly between the different subgroups, and adenocarcinoma has the worst prognosis. Surgery is the only curative treatment, however, the long-term benefit of extended surgical resections over appendectomy has not been established. T
As the global world population is growing, so is the demand and consumption for the earth's natural resources. Circular economy has attracted global attention as an alternative to the predominating linear economic system. The construction industry represents a field causing significant climate-and environmental impact and waste. How circular economy should be applied practically within constru
I examine if participatory action research can be used to launch processes in women’s action groups in rural areas of a lower middle income country, which can lead to empowerment of the organization. Participatory action research conducted in Western Georgia was designed to investigate marginalization of rural women and whether a researcher can intervene by taking on a role of an external change-m
This master’s thesis investigates the possibilities of detecting the rhopalia of box jellyfishes, i.e. the eyes of the box jellyfish. Each box jellyfish has four rhopalia and each of the rhopalium consists of six light sensing eyes which they use to interpret the surroundings. In this project we have worked with fifteen film sequences all consisting of different box jellyfishes and recorded under
Abstract The long-term aim of this project was to develop synbiotic drinks presenting food supplements with beneficial effects on human health. A synbiotic consists of a combination of probiotic bacteria and one or more prebiotics. For the part of the project that was covered by this Master thesis, a probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum F44 and a prebiotic galactooligosaccharide (GOS) were t
