OBJECTIVE The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study is uniquely capable of investigating age-specific differences associated with type 1 diabetes. Because age is a primary driver of heterogeneity in type 1 diabetes, we sought to characterize by age metabolic derangements prior to diagnosis and clinical features associated with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). RESEARCH DESIG
Contaminated drinking water (DW) is a major source of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at locations around PFAS production/use facilities and military airports. This study aimed to investigate quantitative relationships between concentrations in DW and serum of nine perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in Swedish adult populations living near contamination hotspots. Short-chained (PF
Suspensions of microswimmers are a class of systems inherently out of equilibrium, due to the mechanical work continuously performed by a large number of active agents. Biological examples are plentiful, as many aquatic microorganisms have the ability to propel themselves. A distinct phenomenon displayed by such systems is the increased diffusivity of passive tracer particles, relative to their eq
Objective: To describe the SHIELD cohort in terms of symptoms indicative of early knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to investigate associations between patient characteristics (demographics, activity/injury-related) and these symptoms at 1 (cross-sectional) and 3 years (longitudinal) post anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Method: 106 participants (50 % women, mean [SD] age 25 [5] years
In recent years, the prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis has risen. Nevertheless, effective diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers alongside targeted treatments are lacking, making lung transplantation the last resort for many patients with end-stage disease. However, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), a manifestation of chronic lung allograft
Purpose: Radiation therapy (RT) causes tissue damage and inflammation. Because cytokines play a key role in such processes, their expression levels can be an indicator of cell and tissue toxicity. This critical review aims to explore whether levels of circulating inflammatory biomarkers in peripheral blood are associated with proton- or photon-based therapy in the pelvic area and how these levels
BACKGROUND: While patients with post-COVID syndrome (PCS) suffer from cognitive deficits few studies directly compare patients with PCS to subjects recovered after an infection with the 'Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)'.OBJECTIVES: To investigate cognitive performance adjusting for age, increasing body-mass-index (BMI), smoking, years of education, gender and hospitali
Our current patterns of resource use have serious impact on the environment and are affecting our chances to future welfare. In this context, circular economy practices emerge as essential. Circular economy focuses on maximizing resource efficiency through reuse, repair, recycling, and product longevity—ultimately minimizing waste and reducing reliance on virgin materials. My dissertation presents
Background: Dementia is a global public health challenge, with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) being the most prevalent subtypes. Air pollution is a potential risk factor for dementia, but few studies separate AD and VaD. Objective: This study aims to investigate whether exposure to air pollution is associated with the incidence of AD and VaD. Methods: This study involved 30,2
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery is a well-described phenomenon, usually associated with hemodynamic changes ultimately leading to ischemic injury to the kidneys. In this study, we assessed the occurrence of AKI in a cohort of patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery at a single center.METHODS: Patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery (coronary artery bypass
Background: Randomized trials have shown that axillary clearance (AC) can safely be omitted in patients with sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer. At the same time, de-escalation of chemotherapy in postmenopausal patients with ER+HER2− breast cancer may depend on detailed axillary nodal stage. The aim of this pre-specified secondary analysis of the SENOMAC trial was to investigate whether th
The extraordinary diversity of flowering plants has long captivated biologists andevolutionary ecologists. Plant-insect relationships are recognized as a major driverof this diversity, with pollinators playing a crucial role in angiosperm speciation andtrait diversification. Numerous observational and experimental studies have shownthat pollinators influence the evolution of floral traits—such as
There has been an upsurge of interest in the principle of extended producer responsibility (EPR) among policy makers and scholars in non-OECD countries. The principle has been applied and its impacts studied rather extensively in various OECD countries. However, similar experiences are largely lacking in non-OECD countries. This paper presents some ongoing research and preliminary findings on the
Introduction: Traditionally, the academic librarian has served as an information specialist working in close professional contact with researchers to provide support in the process of scientific investigation. When the Internet entered the academic world, the belief emerged that researchers could handle information on their own. Thus, the value of personal professional interaction between the acad
