This essay investigates the need for prioritizing resilience and mindfulness in academia and elaborated on a pragmatic approach to how we as scholars can improve our well-being collectively in today’s demanding academic environment.

Background: P-wave indices reflect atrial abnormalities contributing to atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to assess a comprehensive set of P-wave characteristics for prediction of incident AF in a population-based setting. Methods: Malmö Preventative Project (MPP) participants were reexamined in 2002–2006 with electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic examinations and followed for 5 years.

The fields of human genetics and genomics have generated considerable knowledge about the mechanistic basis of many diseases. Genomic approaches to diagnosis, prognostication, prevention and treatment – genomic-driven precision medicine (GDPM) – may help optimize medical practice. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of GDPM of complex diseases across major medical specialties. We focus on tech

To investigate whether coronary artery disease (CAD) burden is associated with plasma levels of the myocardial biomarkers Troponin I (TropI) and NT-proBNP in a large population-based sample using a cross-sectional design. Coronary computerized tomography (CT) angiography was performed in 25,859 subjects without a history of atherosclerotic disease from SCAPIS study (age 50-65, 52% women). TropI an

The enzymatic modification of natural oat oils enriched with polar lipids (PL), consisting mainly of equal mixture of phospholipids and galactolipids, offers a sustainable pathway to produce liquid crystalline phases (LCPs) with diverse structural arrangements, including micellar or bicontinuous cubic and hexagonal phases. These self-assembling lipid systems have potential applications in drug del

BACKGROUND: Kinetic energy (KE) of intracardiac blood flow reflects myocardial work spent on accelerating blood and provides a mechanistic window into diastolic filling dynamics. Diastolic dysfunction may represent an early stage in the development of heart failure (HF). Here we evaluated the hemodynamic effects of impaired diastolic function in subjects with and without HF, testing the hypothesis

Bokens baksidestext: Fackligt medlemskap har länge varit självklart i det genomorganiserade Sverige. Så är det inte längre. Under de senaste femton åren har andelen fackligt anslutna fluktuerat betydligt kraftigare än tidigare, även om den svenska organisationsgraden fortfarande är mycket hög. Ett nytt fenomen är att allt fler nöjer sig med att bara tillhöra a-kassan. Utifrån en brett upplagd inte

Flimmer, eller nærmere bestemt tidslig lys modulation (TLM), er igen blevet et problem i forbindelse med indførelse af LED-basret belysningsteknologi. TLM, dvs. variationer i lysintensiteten over tid, kan have negativ effekt på menneskers sundhed, og forårsage irritation, hovedpine, overanstrengelse af øjne og migræne. Udover denne unødvendige lidelse, som flimmer kan bevirke hos enkeltpersoner, s

De senaste åren har det skett en ökning i antalet så kallade vitamindrycker som finns i handeln. Vitamin Well, Glacéau Vitaminwater och Vitamino är varumärkena som i tur och ordning gått in på marknaden och rönt kommersiella framgångar i dryckessegmentet. Genom semiotisk innehållsanalys av vitamindryckernas reklam och marknadsföring har vi velat avtäcka den mytologiska underbyggnad som finns i der

Background: Post heart-transplant survival has increased, but information is lacking on specific causes of death and life expectancy. We aimed to assess cause-specific loss of life-years compared to the general population, evaluate classification for cause of death after heart transplantation, and assess validity of cause of death data from the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplant (I

Aims: Bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is a vascular-derived peptide hormone that has emerged as a promising biomarker for assessment of congestion in decompensated heart failure (HF). We aimed to evaluate diagnostic and prognostic performance of bio-ADM for HF in comparison to amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), with decision thresholds derived from invasive haemodynamic

Therapeutic strategies directed at the tumor surfaceome (TS), including checkpoint inhibitor blocking antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, provide a new armament to fight cancer. However, a remaining bottleneck is the lack of strategies to comprehensively interrogate patient tumors for potential TS targets. Here, we have developed a platform (

AIMS: Patients awaiting orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) can be bridged utilizing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that reduces left ventricular filling pressures, decreases pulmonary artery wedge pressure, and maintains adequate cardiac output. This study set out to examine the poorly investigated area of if and how pre-treatment with LVAD impacts right ventricular (RV) function foll

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality and is a leading cause of heart failure and stroke. This large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies increased the power to detect single-nucleotide variant associations and found more than 350 AF-associated genetic loci. We identified candidate genes related to muscle contractility, cardiac muscle development an

Orienten och dess historia är en ytterst intressant del av vår gemensamma europeiska historia, dock en som allt som oftast har fått stå i skymundan. Säkerligen är detta inte en avsiktlig handling utan fokus har kanske gradvis flyttats åt ett annat håll. I den här texten så ska det Osmanska riket och dess inflytande i södra och östra Europa diskuteras, mellan åren 1400 och 1700, från Konstantinopel

I Sverige har antalet patienter som vårdas hemmet ökat de senaste åren och flertalet människor önskar dö i sitt eget hem. Palliativ vård är en aktiv helhetsvård av patienter i ett skede när sjukdomen inte längre går att bota och det övergripande målet med palliativ vård är att uppnå bästa möjliga livskvalitet för patienten och dennes anhörig. Distriktssköterskan eller sjuksköterskan betraktas vara

Pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate inflammatory and hemodynamic plasma biomarkers as predictors for AAA in the prospective longitudinal cohort of middle-aged individuals from the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study ( n=5551; 1991-94). C-reactive protein, cystatin C, copeptin, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic pepti
