Men with spine fractures have reduced vertebral body (VB) volume and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). Men with hip fractures have reduced femoral neck (FN) volume and vBMD, site-specific deficits that may have their origins in growth. To describe the tempo of growth in regional bone size, bone mineral content (BMC), and vBMD, we measured bone length, periosteal and endocortical diameters, B
Background Type 2 (T2) high asthma is recognised as a heterogenous entity consisting of several endotypes; however, the prevalence and distribution of the T2 biomarkers in the general asthma population, across asthma severity, and across compartments is largely unknown. The objective of the present study was to describe expression and overlaps of airway and systemic T2 biomarkers in a clinically r
Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease leading to gastrointestinal symptoms and mineral deficiencies. The pathogenetic mechanisms, besides the clear HLA association, are elusive. Among environmental factors infections have been proposed. Covid-19 infection results in a systemic inflammatory response that often also involves the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of the present study
Background: Many pathological processes can disrupt the integrity of the glomerular capillary wall and cause a massive leakage of protein, resulting in nephrotic syndrome (NS). Clinical parameters such as age, sex, renal function, presence of diabetes, and how NS is defined influence the spectrum of underlying diseases. In this study, we examine how these parameters interact.Methods: Age, sex, hem
BACKGROUND: To reduce the costs of maintaining a poliovirus immunization base in low-income areas, we assessed the extent of priming immune responses after the administration of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV).METHODS: We compared the immunogenicity and reactogenicity of a fractional dose of IPV (one fifth of a full dose) administered intradermally with a full dose administered intramuscularl
Key points: Parts of the fields of neuroscience and neurology consider the neocortex to be a functionally parcelled structure. Viewed through such a conceptual filter, there are multiple clinical observations after localized stroke lesions that seem paradoxical. We tested the effect that localized stroke-like lesions have on neuronal information processing in a part of the neocortex that is distan
Objective: To determine the frequency of mutations known to cause autosomal dominant Parkinson disease (PD) in a series with more than 10% of Sweden's estimated number of PD patients. Methods: The Swedish Parkinson Disease Genetics Network was formed as a national multicenter consortium of clinical researchers who together have access to DNA from a total of 2,206 PD patients; 85.4% were from popul
Background: Paediatric surgical care is increasingly being centralized away from low-volume centres, and prehospital delay is considered a risk factor for more complicated appendicitis. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of paediatric appendicitis in Sweden, and to assess whether distance to the hospital was a risk factor for complicated disease. Methods: A nationwide cohort stud
We report the discovery of two warm exoplanets orbiting the cool binary system TOI-2267, composed of the M5 (TOI-2267A) and M6 (TOI-2267B) stars, whose angular separation is 0.384 arcsec, corresponding to a projected distance of only about 8 au at 22 pc from the Solar System. To confirm the planetary nature of these objects, we combined photometry from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TE
Background: Epidemiological studies on the association between maternal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and fetal growth alteration report inconsistent findings which weights in favor of additional studies. Methods: Blood samples were collected from interviewed pregnant women in Greenland (572), Kharkiv (611) and Warsaw (258) and were analyzed for CB-153 and p,p'-DDE by gas chroma
Background: Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is an underlying pathophysiological mechanism in aortic stenosis, which shares many risk factors with diabetes. However, the association between dysglycemia and early stages of AVC remains unclear. The aim was to examine the associations between stages of dysglycemia and signs of AVC among middle-aged individuals from the general population. Methods: Th
BACKGROUND: Thirty-eight years of pediatric heart transplantation (pHTx) within the Scandiatransplant organization were analyzed to describe volume trends, regional prevalence, underlying etiologies and outcomes following listing and pHTx.METHODS: Children <18 years listed for pHTx from January 1st 1986 to December 31st 2023 were identified in the Scandiatransplant registry. The cohort was split i
BACKGROUND: Viral shedding and neutralizing antibody (NAb) dynamics among patients hospitalized with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and immune correlates of protection have been key questions throughout the pandemic. We investigated the duration of reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positivity, infectious viral shedding and NAb titers as well as the association be
Den 1 oktober 2009 trädde en de nya Takeover-reglerna i kraft. Den största nyheten i de nya reglerna var den kraftigt minskade möjligheten att erbjuda röststarka aktier ett högre pris än röstsvaga aktier i ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande. Detta är en skärpning av den aktiemarknadsrättsliga likhetsprincipen och avsikten var att tillförsäkra minoritetsägare en större del av uppköpspremien. UppsatseThe 1 October 2009 new Takeover Rules entered into force. The most material change of the new rules was that they decreased the possibility to offer multiple voting shares a higher price than ordinary shares. This is a strengthening of the legal principle of equality as applied at the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm stock market. The intention was to ensure that minority shareholders got a greater share of t

AIM: Factors associated with unexpected absence or presence of coronary atherosclerosis in individuals at high/low estimated cardiovascular (CV) risk are largely unexplored. We assessed two extreme phenotypes: 1) no coronary atherosclerosis despite very high CV risk; and 2) severe-extensive coronary atherosclerosis despite low CV risk.METHODS: A multicenter, cross-sectional nationwide, population-
Background Obesity is increasing among patients with inflammatory bowel disease, but bariatric surgery has been rare in this group owing to concerns about worsening the inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the study was to evaluate inflammatory bowel disease-related outcomes following bariatric surgery. Methods Nationwide cohort of all adult patients in Sweden between 2007 and 2020 with obesity
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the United States with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Currently both biomarkers and therapies for CO poisoning are limited and require new approaches. Methods: Rats (~ 300 g) were divided into four grou
Rationale, Aims and Objectives: Colonoscopy, though common, can be uncomfortable, necessitating routine assessment of patient experience per European guidelines. Positive patient experiences are crucial as they influence willingness for repeat procedures. Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) effectively capture patient perspectives through surveys, empowering patients to influence healthca
