Background: Although up to 25% of proximal humeral fractures are isolated greater tuberosity fractures (IGTFs), comprehensive epidemiological data are lacking. Objectives: Describe the epidemiology and time trends of IGTF in Malmö, Sweden, 1944–2020. Methods: We identified IGTF in Malmö residents (≥18 years) by reviewing relevant radiology examinations during 17 sample years from 1944 to 2020. Fra

BACKGROUND: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) was implemented in 2018 in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care. This intervention empowers adolescents to self-admit at their own request for brief periods to prevent self-harm and suicidal crisis. As BA enhances healthcare user autonomy, it is a timely intervention to consider with the emerging human rights discourse and

Background: Adequate sleep is crucial for children’s health, especially for children with ADHD and concurrent sleep problems. There is a need for more studies focusing on sleep problems in children with ADHD as these problems may exacerbate ADHD symptoms and vice versa, impacting negatively on everyday life. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in health-related factors between

ODIN (Optical and Diffraction Imaging with Neutrons) is a general purpose imaging in- strument under construction at the European Spallation Source (ESS). The instrument will provide the scientific community with a wide array of neutron imaging techniques, including neutron tomography. Coupled with an integrated X-ray source, the instrument will feature multi-modal capabilities. The complementary

The Galactic center and inner disk of the Milky Way contain complex stellar populations obscured by heavy dust extinction. To study their chemical composition, high-resolution near-infrared (near-IR) spectroscopy is necessary. Expanding the set of elements measurable in the near-IR, especially neutron-capture elements, improves our ability to trace nucleosynthesis and Galactic chemical evolution.

Background Suicide is more common among males and in older age, but the understanding of sex-specific and age-specific risk indicators is limited. Objective To describe the sex-specific and age-specific prevalence of 25 suicide risk indicators in the year preceding suicide and estimate their associations with suicide. Methods Register-based population-nested case-control study in Sweden, 2009–2021

The Non-Motor Symptoms Scale (NMSS) was developed and validated in 2007 as the first instrument for the comprehensive assessment of a range of non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Thirteen years have elapsed since its introduction and extensive international validation with good psychometric attributes has been carried out. Here, we review the validation data of the NMSS and its cross-v

Strain localisation structures, such as shear fractures and compaction bands, are of importance due to their influence on permeability and therefore outgassing, a factor thought to influence eruptive style. In this study, we aim to develop a better understanding of strain localisation in porous volcanic rocks using X-ray tomographic images of samples of porous andesite (porosity = 0.26) acquired b

BACKGROUND: Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and oxygen tension (PcvO2), obtained from the superior vena cava, correlate well with mixed venous (pulmonary arterial) oxygen saturation (SvO2) and tension (pvO2) when the hematocrit is normal. The present study was undertaken to assess whether extreme hemodilution affects this relation. METHODS: We compared mixed and central venous blood durin

In this paper, we report the preliminary result from the first Coulomb excitation experiment at REX-ISOLDE (Habs et al 1998 Nucl. Instrum. Methods B 139 128) using neutron-deficient Sn-beams. The motivation of the experiment is to deduce the reduced transition probability, B(E2; 2(+) -> 0(+)), for the sequence of neutron deficient, unstable, even-even Sn- isotopes from Sn-110 to ultimately Sn-110.

Aim: The Driving to Learn project focused on people with profound cognitive disabilities and their possible achievements from practicing joystick-use in a powered wheelchair. The aim of this study within the project was to statistically analyse the participants' outcomes, and to explore factors, in terms of participant and training characteristics, associated with a favourable outcome of training

Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen studeras plasminogenaktiverings-systemets (PA-systemets) komponenter i livmoderslemhinnan. PA-systemet reglerar omvandlingen av plasminogen till plasmin. Plasminogen är ett inaktivt enzym som finns överallt i kroppsvätskor samt i kroppens olika organ. Aktiveringen katalyseras av aktivatorer, antingen urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) eller tissue plasThe release of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) from endometrial stromal cells decreased after progesterone stimulation, due to upregulation of PA inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and uPA receptor (uPAR). Subsequently, the uPA:PAI-1 complex was internalized and degraded via uPAR. Predecidual cells in the late secretory phase expressed PAI-1 and uPAR, supporting a specific role for predecidual cells in the

CONTEXT.—: Perinatal death is an increasingly important problem as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, but the mechanism of death has been unclear.OBJECTIVE.—: To evaluate the role of the placenta in causing stillbirth and neonatal death following maternal infection with COVID-19 and confirmed placental positivity for SARS-CoV-2.DESIGN.—: Case-based retrospective clinico-pathological analysis by a mu

Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of strategies to prevent spontaneous preterm delivery (PTD) in asymptomatic singleton pregnancies, using prevalence and healthcare cost data from the Swedish healthcare context. Methods: We designed a decision analytic model based on the Swedish CERVIX study to estimate the cost-effectiveness of strategies to prevent spontaneous PTD in asymptomatic wom

Motivation: Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human-induced environmental changes are compromising the long-term persistence of plant-pollinator interactions. Unfortunately, we lack robust, generalisable data capturing how plant-pollinator communities are structured across space and time. Here, we present the EuPPollNet (European Plant-

Ageing societies are facing major housing challenges. Understanding and addressing older adults' diverse housing needs and preferences are crucial. Having access to suitable and sustainable housing options can improve social cohesion, independence, health, and well-being. Participatory processes in housing development can enhance inclusion and democratic participation. This study uses Ramlösa Port

Objectives Peak exercise systolic blood pressure (SBP) is associated with future cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of different SBP patterns at the end of exercise with these outcomes. Methods We studied 6329 adults (45% women) referred for exercise testing, with test duration of 6-14 min, maximal effort and valid SBP measurements at the end of e

Abstract: Secure base scripts are implicit schemas that guide perceptions, responses, and interactions by encapsulating expectations of support from attachment figures during distress. The current study investigated the impact of early institutional rearing and the causal effects of high-quality foster care following early deprivation on secure base scripts in adolescents who had experienced sever

The lifetimes of the three lowest excited members of the rotational ground-state band of103Mo at 102.6, 241.1 and 433.2 keV as well as of the levels at 353.8 and 456.1 keV have been determined through a measurement of the delayed coincidences between β particles from the decay of the parent103Nb and the γ rays which depopulate the levels. A plastic and a BaF2 detector have been used for the β and

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has considerably impacted negatively on many aspects of human life such as access to basic necessities including water, energy and food. This article aims to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the water, energy and food accessibility in Katsina state, Nigeria. The survey involved the administration of a questionnaire to a total of 900 households out of
