Background. Treatment of childhood medulloblastoma has evolved to reduce neurotoxicity while improving survival. However, the impact of evolving therapies on late neurocognitive outcomes and adult functional independence remains unknown. Methods. Adult survivors of childhood medulloblastoma (n = 505; median [minimum–maximum] age, 29 [18–46] years) and sibling controls (n = 727; 32 [18–58] years) f

INTRODUCTION: In Sweden, most older adults continue to age in dwellings they have lived in for many years, with a small proportion relocating. Longitudinal studies examining relocation histories, especially among younger old adults and those beyond frail populations, are scarce. This study aimed to describe individuals who stayed in their homes (stayers) and those who relocated (movers) while iden

BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominant atrophy is an emerging area of interest. Recent findings by the International Working Group (IWG) have identified this subtype as having a distinct clinical profile within the FTD spectrum (Ulugut et al., 2024, A&D). However, its genetic and pathological underpinnings remain unexplored in large, mult

Lake water storage variations on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) serve as crucial indicators of regional hydrological dynamics and climate changes, providing more comprehensive insights than discrete measurements of lake area or water level alone. While accurate bathymetric data is fundamental for quantifying lake water storage, conventional bathymetric surveys are often constrained by logistical challen

BOLGER, C., E. TUFVESSON, M. SUE-CHU, G. DEVEREUX, J. G. AYRES, L. BJERMER, and P. KIPPELEN. Hyperpnea-Induced Bronchoconstriction and Urinary CC16 Levels in Athletes. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 43, No. 7, pp. 1207-1213, 2011. Purpose: Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a common condition in both individuals with asthma and otherwise healthy elite athletes. Although excessive water l

Background Bariatric metabolic surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass [RYGB] and sleeve gastrectomy [SG]) effectively treats obesity and type 2 diabetes; however, weight loss varies, necessitating predictive factors. Methods We analysed 12- and 24-month weight loss data from 811 patients (RYGB or SG). Factor Analysis of Mixed Data and neural network (NN) modelling identified distinct patient phenotypes

PURPOSE: The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing in individuals aged < 50 years of age. This study aimed to examine whether high-frequency follow-up after CRC surgery reduces 5-year overall mortality, cancer-specific mortality and recurrence in patients with CRC aged ≤ 50 years. METHODS: The COLOFOL trial performed between 2006 and 2010 was used to analyse patients randomised to hig

Objective: Worse women's outcomes after elective standard endovascular aneurysm repair have been widely reported. Similar data have surfaced from cohorts undergoing fenestrated and branched repair; however, studies reporting from a sex perspective are rare and mostly limited to single centre designs. This study aimed to examine survival following nationwide complex endovascular repair according to

Objective: To characterize patients with protein-losing enteropathy (PLE) diagnosed before age 18 years within a nationwide Swedish Fontan cohort. Methods: Surgical records and medical charts were reviewed for all patients born after January 1, 1993, who underwent Fontan completion before January 1, 2021. Results: Among 573 reviewed patients, 28 (4.8%) developed PLE. The median time to onset of PL

BACKGROUND In patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), therapies that could further reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes are needed. METHODS In this international registry-based, randomized, double-blind trial, patients without prior diabetes or chronic heart failure, presenting with acute MI and impaired left ventricular systolic function, were randomly assigned

ObjectiveTo determine whether the genetic disorder severe α1-antitrypsin deficiency, which has a known association with increased risk for development of lung and liver diseases, is also associated with increased risk for development of gastrointestinal diseases.Patients and MethodsWe conducted a national, longitudinal, registry-based study of individuals with severe α1-antitrypsin deficiency (phe

Purpose: Reduced rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep has been linked to increased mortality in the general population. We investigated whether diminished REM sleep is associated with higher mortality in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods: This secondary analysis of the RICCADSA trial included 356 revascularized CAD patients with OSA (apnea–hypopnea inde

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its virulence factor Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) have been linked to myocardial infarction (MI), but the mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to test if Hp infection and CagA are associated with pre-specified inflammatory and vascular biomarkers in patients with MI and to explore whether a broader biomarker panel can predict infection. Furthermore

Urban meteorology, the study of atmospheric phenomena in urban areas, is vital for understanding the dynamic interactions between rapid urbanization and environmental changes. Over the past two decades (2004–2024), urban heat islands (UHIs), extreme rainfall, pollution, and temperature anomalies have intensified, adversely affecting human health, infrastructure, and ecosystems worldwide. The prese

Abstract – Introduction: – Spinal disorders are among the biggest contributors to health care utilization (HCU).Objective: – To develop and externally validate a prediction model for high all-cause HCU (75th percentile during 1 year after the index date) among patients with spinal disorders visiting multidisciplinary secondary care clinics.Methods: – We developed and internally validated the model

Popular Abstract in Swedish Osteoporos (benskörhet) innebär att såväl bentätheten som skelettets hållfasthet minskar, vilket leder till ökad risk att få frakturer (benbrott). Osteoporos är en folksjukdom, där frakturerna medför stora kostnader såväl för individen som för samhället. De frakturer som räknas som osteoporosfrakturer är i första hand de som drabbar höft, bäcken, axel, handled och kota.Hip fracture is the most severe clinical manifestation of bone fragility. Hip fracture predominantly affects an already frail population and is associated with multi-cause morbidity and high mortality. Improved knowledge of long-term outcome is essential in order to improve future care and prevention of both fracture and its complications. In this thesis, all hip fracture patients during 1984-198

OBJECTIVE-FTO is the most important polygene identified for obesity. We aimed to investigate whether a variant in FTO affects type 2 diabetes risk entirely through its effect on BMI and how FTO) influences BMI across adult life span. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-Through regression models, we assessed the relationship between the FTO single nucleotide polymorphisms rs9939609, type 2 diabetes, and BM

Aims Our primary aim was to assess reoperation-free survival at one year after the index injury in patients aged ≥ 75 years treated with internal fixation (IF) or arthroplasty for undis-placed femoral neck fractures (uFNFs). Secondary outcomes were reoperations and mortality analyzed separately. Methods We retrieved data on all patients aged ≥ 75 years with an uFNF registered in the Swedish Fractu

Background: Blood lead concentrations (B-Pb) were measured in 3 879 Swedish school children during the period 1978-2007. The objective was to study the effect of the proximity to lead sources based on the children's home and school location. Methods: The children's home address and school location were geocoded and their proximity to a lead smelter and major roads was calculated using geographical
