Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate if time to start chemotherapy (TTC) after primary debulking surgery (PDS) impacted relative survival (RS) in advanced epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). Methods: Nationwide population-based study of women with EOC FIGO stages IIIC-IV, registered 2008–2018 in the Swedish Quality Register for Gynecologic Cancer, treat
Although mitochondrial respiration is believed to explain a substantial part of the variation in resting metabolic rate (RMR), few studies have empirically studied the relationship between organismal and cellular metabolism. We therefore investigated the relationship between RMR and mitochondrial respiration of permeabilized blood cells in wild great tits (Parus major L.). We also studied the corr
Objective. To evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after initiation of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment in European real-world patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Further, to investigate PRO remission rates across treatment courses, registries, disease duration, sex, and age at disease onset. Methods. Visual analog scale or numerical rating scale scores for pain, fatigue,
Människors nyfikenhet och drivkraft att förstå och mäta vår värld har lett till många vetenskapliga framsteg. Vårt ständiga sökande efter kunskap har hjälpt oss att bland annat förhindra sjukdomar, förbättra skördar och förstå de ekosystem vi lever i. Dock varierar förutsättningar och utmaningar för forskning runt om i världen, och i många forskningsmiljöer saknas det tillgång till avancerad labor
Anticoagulation may in the future become a therapeutic option for the prevention of liver fibrosis, such as due to recurrent hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation. Currently, there are other indications for anticoagulation after liver transplantation but no data regarding its safety. The objective of the study was to audit the safety of anticoagulation after liver transplantation
Declines in insect pollinators have been linked to a range of causative factors such as disease, loss of habitats, the quality and availability of food, and exposure to pesticides. Here, we analysed an extensive dataset generated from pesticide screening of foraging insects, pollen-nectar stores/beebread, pollen and ingested nectar across three species of bees collected at 128 European sites set i
BACKGROUND: Acute allergic reactions (AARs) occur shortly after exposure to an allergen, and the severity is on a continuum. Systemic corticosteroids (CS) are mainstay treatment of moderate to severe AARs, whereas those at risk of the most severe AARs (ie, anaphylaxis) are also recommended prescription of epinephrine autoinjectors. There is limited research on the impact of AARs not fulfilling the
Background: ECG abnormalities have been linked to adverse changes in right ventricular (RV) morphology and poor clinical outcomes in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Our aim was to describe how ECG changes progress in early and intermediate follow-up and whether types of surgical strategy at the time of primary repair affected these changes. Methods: We studied patients with rTOF born 2000–201
To investigate the relationship between gonadotroph function and ultrastructure, we have compared, in parallel in female mice, the effects of several different mutations that perturb the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Specifically, serum and pituitary gonadotrophin concentrations, gonadotrophin gene expression, gonadotroph structure and number were measured. Follicle-stimulating hormone β kn
Currently, both the US and the EU are pursuing industrial policies to support climate mitigation objectives. The climate transition will require increased use of material resources, but the envisioned industrial policies do not sufficiently address resource use, despite the current unsustainable global resource-use trajectory. The lack of industrial policy in this field is therefore relevant and t
Introduction: A well-functioning anti-doping system relies on being perceived by athletes as effective, fair, and practically feasible to implement. While research has highlighted the views of Olympic athletes on anti-doping over the past decade, the experiences and perceptions of Para athletes have not been extensively explored. The purpose of this study was to examine Swedish elite Para athletes
Background: Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, is vital in preserving cartilage integrity. Further, its overexpression is associated with the aggressiveness of several types of solid cancers. This study investigated COMP's role in ovarian cancer, exploring clinicopathological links and mechanistic insights.Methods: To study the association of COMP exp
In the dawning era of artificial intelligence (AI), health care stands to undergo a significant transformation with the increasing digitalization of patient data. Digital imaging, in particular, will serve as an important platform for AI to aid decision making and diagnostics. A growing number of studies demonstrate the potential of automatic pre-surgical skin tumor delineation, which could have t
Den här artikeln handlar om hur förtalsbrottet tillämpas på situationer då en person berättar i sociala medier att hen har utsatts för våld eller sexuella övergrepp av en viss person. Inledningsvis diskuteras hur rättighetsskyddet enligt regeringsformen och Europakonventionen inverkar på tillämpningen av förtalsbrottet och de omständigheter som bör beaktas i avvägningen mellan rätten till resp
