Introduction: Myocarditis is a complex cardiac disorder with multifactorial etiology, characterized by myocardial inflammation, cardiomyocyte damage, and fibrosis. Left untreated, myocarditis may lead to acute and chronic heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias. Reliable experimental models of myocarditis are required to study the underlying pathological mechanisms of the disease and to dev
The concept of scattering contrast is central to (small-angle) scattering of neutrons, X-rays, and visible light, as it defines the visibility to the radiation of the nano- and mesostructures under scrutiny, in their respective solvent or matrix. In this chapter, we start with the scattering process by elementary scatterers, such as nuclei or atoms, which produce secondary, scattered waves, and th
Objective: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) might improve the results of below the knee (BTK) angioplasty, but sufficient randomized data comparing DCB and conventional angioplasty in treating patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) are lacking. This study aimed to perform a randomized comparison between a paclitaxel-coated angioplasty balloon catheter and a conventional balloon angioplas
Air pollution is increasingly discussed as a risk factor for dementia, but the biological mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Biological markers like telomere length are relevant to study with air pollution, as they are associated with aging and dementia. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between source-specific air pollution exposure and telomere length in a low-level air pollu

BACKGROUND: For unknown reasons girls are at an increased risk of coeliac disease compared to boys. However, the observed association might be confounded, since maternal coeliac disease is associated with both an increased risk of the disease in first-degree relatives as well as an increased ratio of girls to boys in offspring. AIMS: We investigate the effect of sex on the risk of coeliac dise
It is hoped that information garnered from studies on population genetics will one day be translated into a form in which it meaningfully improves the prediction, prevention or treatment of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes genetics researchers have made extraordinary progress in identifying common genetic variants that are associated with type 2 diabetes, which has shed light on the biological pat
BACKGROUND: To evaluate factors associated with incidence and 3-year all-cause mortality in patients with aortic aneurysm (AA). The design is sex and age-stratified (60-79 and 80-90 years) prospective cohort. By using the population register, we constituted a cohort of all men and women born between 1900 and 1930 and living in Scania by 1991, and followed them for 13 years. Identification of AA wa
People vary genetically in their susceptibility to the effects of environmental risk factors for many diseases. Genetic variation also underlies the extent to which people respond appropriately to clinical therapies. Defining the basis to the interactions between the genome and the environment may help elucidate the biologic basis to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, as well as help target prevent
Precursor cells of the myeloerythroid cell lineages give rise to mature cells of the granulocyte, monocyte, erythroid, and/or thrombocytic lineages. High-resolution profiling of the developmental stages, from hematopoietic stem cells to mature progeny, is important to study and understand the underlying mechanisms that guide various cell fate decisions. In addition, this approach provides greater
It is yet unknown to which degree young subfertile men present with signs of hypogonadism and whether low testosterone concentration, like in older men, is associated with risk of osteoporosis and metabolic derangements in those subjects. The objective was, therefore, to investigate the prevalence of hypogonadism and its association with metabolic and bone parameters in young subfertile men.
Self-reported data on smoking during pregnancy from the Medical Birth Register of Sweden (MBR) are widely used. However, underreporting of such behaviour may occur, leading to biases. It is of importance to validate the smoking data in the MBR. The main objective was to investigate the agreement between self-reported smoking data from the MBR and cotinine levels in maternal serum among women from
AIMS: In western countries out-of-hospital ischaemic heart disease (IHD) deaths account for approximately 50-70% of all IHD deaths. The objective was to examine the trends in out-of-hospital IHD deaths in the Region of Skåne in southern Sweden, in different sex- and age-groups. METHODS: All 14,347 persons (range 24-110 years) in Skåne who died out-of-hospital between 1992 and 2003 from IHD (I410-
Most complex diseases have well-established genetic and non-genetic risk factors. In some instances, these risk factors are likely to interact, whereby their joint effects convey a level of risk that is either significantly more or less than the sum of these risks. Characterizing these gene-environment interactions may help elucidate the biology of complex diseases, as well as to guide strategies
Nanoscale systems coupled to superconducting circuits offer a platform to study a variety of research questions ranging from more fundamental investigations on the quantum nature of light interacting with matter to more application-oriented ones such as quantum computing and communication. These hybrid systems have thus gained a great deal of attention in the community in the recent years and have
We theoretically investigate elementary excitations of dipolar quantum gases across the superfluid to supersolid phase transition in a toroidal trap. We show how decoupled first sound, second sound, and Higgs modes emerge by following their origin from superfluid modes across the transition. The structure of these excitations reveals the interplay between crystal and superfluid oscillations. Our r
PURPOSE: This observational study examined the relationship between self-reported dietary patterns-omnivore, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan-and iron status among Swedish teenage girls. Additionally, we compared the consumption of various food groups in relation to iron status.METHODS: Data were collected from 475 female high school students in Malmö and Lund, Sweden, using questionnaires on di
Even though the one-dimensional contact interaction requires no regularization, renormalization methods have been shown to improve the convergence of numerical calculations considerably. In this work, we compare and contrast these methods: "the running coupling constant"where the two-body ground-state energy is used as a renormalization condition, and two effective interaction approaches that incl
