We included people from the Swedish Osteoarthritis Register who underwent education and exercise for knee or hip OA. Diabetes and hypertension were defined using medica

Ribbed channel flows are encountered in numerous engineering applications to promote turbulence and enhance heat transfer in various cooling passages, e.g., in turbine blades and at combustor walls. Numerical simulations have become an increasingly useful tool for providing insights into complex turbulence and flow separation, which are critical to the design and optimization of such channels. In

In multiple myeloma (MM), advancements in treatments and toxicity management have enhanced survival rates. This, coupled with shifting age demographics in MM, necessitates an updated assessment of infection risks in MM patients compared to the general population. Using Swedish population-based registries, we investigated the incidence of infections in 8,672 Swedish symptomatic MM patients diagnose

How Do We Treat the Super-Elderly with Distal Radius Fractures and What is the Outcome? A Register Study in 239 Patients of 80 years or olderLinnea Sara Arvidsson, MD; Ellen Lööf, Bachelor of Medicine; Antonio Abramo, PhD; Magnus Tägil, PhDLund University, Lund, SwedenIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. BasiIntroductionWith a rapidly ageing population, the number of wrist fractures will rise dramatically in the super elderly group. Basic knowledge of outcome after fracture in this heterogenic group is absent. Our aim was to use our prospective distal radius fracture register to study the super-elderly patients with distal radius fractures. We hypothesized that the health status of the patient, rather

Left ventricular shape alterations predict cardiovascular outcomes and have been observed in children born preterm and after fetal growth restriction (FGR). The aim was to investigate whether left ventricular shape is altered in adolescents born very preterm and if FGR has an additive effect. Adolescents born very preterm due to verified early-onset FGR and two control groups with birthweight appr

OBJECTIVE: Most earlier studies on occupational risk of COVID-19 covering the entire workforce are based on relatively rare outcomes such as hospital admission and mortality. This study examines the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection by occupational group based on real-time PCR (RT-PCR) tests.METHODS: The cohort includes 2.4 million Danish employees, 20-69 years of age. All data were retrieved from

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is characterized by multiple strictures of the biliary tree. Patients with PSC frequently require repeated endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures. These procedures are encumbered by an increased incidence of infectious adverse events such as cholangitis. Evidence regarding whether antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) should

In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu

Calvin, an Ericsson application framework for Internet of Things (IoT), simplifies the development and deployment of applications for IoT systems where many heterogeneous devices are deployed and connected through the Internet. The application engineer just needs to design and codify the application applying Calvin syntax. The Calvin environment is formed by runtimes and applications. The runtime

This paper studies the possibility to exploit linear dependence in stock returns of the Swedish OMX 30 index. The main model studied in the paper is a Vector autoregressive (VAR) model. Ten years of data from the OMX 30 index is used, consisting of 27 stocks for the period 2006-2015 which is transformed into daily, weekly and monthly returns. First the significance of the models is tested and it i

During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume. One such biological process would be the formation of amyloid aggregates, which

Reglerna och läran om rättskraften är ett av de mest omdiskuterade ämnena inom svensk civilprocessrätt. Det råder ett systematiskt samband mellan RB 17:11 och 13:3 som är av vikt för att förstå gällande rätt. Förståelsen för rättskraftsläran och gällande rätt kompliceras dock av ett antal rättsfall. Kontentan av praxis är att vissa alternativa yrkanden prekluderas av domens rättskraft och det kan The concept of res judicata is an intensively discussed area in Swedish civil procedural law. There is a fundamental correlation of legal and systematic importance between article 11 in chapter 17 and article 3 in chapter 13 in the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (RB 17:11, 13:3). However, it should be noted that the case law has complicated the understanding of the concept. This has, amongst o

Tredjepartsbesiktning innebär att blivande eller befintliga affärspartners undersöks i syfte att säkerställa att verksamhetsutövarens verksamhetsled utgör en låg risk för korruption, vilket i vissa länder krävs genom lag. Faktorer som i regel anses som varningsflaggor i riskbedömningen inför en affärstransaktion är till exempel om en affärspartner har dömts för något brott av korruptiv karaktär elThird party due diligence is an investigation of prospective or existing business partners in order to ensure a low risk of corruption. In certain countries such an investigation is required by law. Factors to consider in the risk assessment are for example whether a potential or existing business partner has been convicted of any corruption related crime or is associated with political circles.
