Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.
Extracellular field potentials in the lumbosacral dorsal horn evoked by stimulation of cutaneous C fibres in the sural nerve were explored in the halothane‐anaesthetized rat. C‐fibre‐evoked field potentials were prominent in lamina II and lamina V of the dorsal horn. These potentials had a latency of 80‐130 ms and a duration of more than 200 ms. A peak in the C‐fibre‐evoked field potential, termed
BACKGROUND: Impaired myocardial deformation has been sporadically described in cardiac asymptomatic systemic sclerosis (SSc). We aimed to study myocardial deformation indices in cardiac asymptomatic SSc patients using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking (CMR-FT) and correlate these findings to the phenotypic and autoimmune background.METHODS: Fifty-four cardiac asymptomatic SSc patients (4
Salutogenesis focuses on how come people recover or stay well. The answer was described to be a Sense of Coherence (SOC). SOC is a global orientation which contributes to how flexible coping strategies are chosen. The SOC concept was operationalized in The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-29). The questionnaire address to what extent life is perceived as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful. T
"Citizens of Galway - this is your park!" ... it reads on a large, slightly yellowed sign in front of a deserted green space. Here is one of the few entrances to Terryland Forest Park, brought to life by the combined efforts of Galway City Council and the local community in the year 2000. Under a multi-sectoral steering committee, the vision for Ireland’s largest ecological urban park an
A Free-Electron Laser (FEL) is a light source capable of producing extremely brilliant light pulses over a wide spectral bandwidth, with pulse lengths ranging from a few hundred picoseconds down to the femtosecond time scale. These pulses are generated and amplified through the interaction of a relativistic electron beam with a co-propagating radiation field in an undulator, a process either start

Background: The multifactorial nature of chronic pain should be reflected in pain assessment. The aim of this observational study comparing samples from three generations assessed at different times was to present differences in pain, stress and mental well-being. Methods: Pain sites, widespread pain, stress (Perceived Stress Scale-4) and mental well-being (30-item General Health Questionnaire) we
Background: There has been an increasing number of single-centre studies describing the long-term outcomes of patients with Hirschsprung disease. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on long-term bowel, urological, and sexual functional outcomes, fertility and quality of life in adults with Hirschsprung disease. Methods: A PROSPERO-registered systematic review of the English li
Popular Abstract in Swedish Framtida klimatförändringar påverkas till stor del på människans utsläpp av CO2, samt av klimat- och CO2-relaterade återkopplingar genom kolcykeln i både landbaserade ekosystem och hav. Landbaserade ekosystem tar för tillfället upp omkring 25% av de antropogena utsläppen av CO2 från förbränning av fossila bränslen och markanvändning, men att tillskriva vilka mekanismer The nature of future climate change will depend on anthropogenic emissions of CO2, as well as climate- and CO2-mediated feedbacks through carbon (C) cycling in both terrestrial ecosystems and oceans. Terrestrial ecosystems remove presently about 25% of the anthropogenic CO2 fossil-fuel and land-use change emissions, but to attribute which mechanisms cause this uptake, and the key regions where it
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Big Bang skapades 3 grundämnen: H, He, och spår av Li. Alla andra grundämnen har bildats i stjärnor. Lågmassiva stjärnor som vår sol kan genom kärnreaktioner skapa grundämnen upp till och med syre i det periodiska systemet, medan mer massiva stjärnor kan skapa grundämnen ända upp till järn. Tyngre grundämnen än järn produceras in slutstadierna av stjärnornas liv, tillAll the elements heavier than Li are created during stellar evolution. Even if our knowledge of this process is good, many questions still remain. For instance, the odd-Z iron-peak elements Sc, V, Mn, and Co together with neutron-capture elements Sr, Zr, La, Ce, Nd, Sm, and Eu have still unclear production sites because theoretical models and observational evidences are not in agreement. Having a
Over the last two decades there has been a striking and continuous increase in the prevalence of obesity both in industrialized and developing countries. Despite this global consistency there is a variation within countries with a higher prevalence of obesity within rural areas. The overall aim was to explore the prevalence of obesity and factors that influence the development of obesity in a rura
Drygt 2 procent av alla svenska nyfödda barn har tillkommit med hjälp av in vitro-fertilisering, IVF, som är en medicinsk behandling för ofrivillig barnlöshet. Ägg och sperma förs samman utanför kroppen och det befruktade ägget planteras in i kvinnans livmoder. Alltsedan de första IVF-barnen föddes har frågor om såväl medicinska som sociala och psykologiska risker för barnet ställts av föräldrar,
Background: A large number of individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) live alone and receive little or no help from family members, which implies an additional pressure on the increasing societal costs of dementia care. Their adult children, if any, might have very limited ability to assist by providing informal help because of social structural changes, such as full-time work for most women and
Background: Over the past decade, the miniaturisation of animal borne tags such as geolocators and GPS-transmitters has revolutionized our knowledge of the whereabouts of migratory species. Novel light-weight multi-sensor loggers (1.4g), which harbour sensors for measuring ambient light intensity, atmospheric pressure, temperature and acceleration, were fixed to two long-distance migrant bird spec
Background: Population-based patient reported outcome data in oesophageal cancer are rare. The main purpose of this study was to describe health-related quality of life (HRQOL) 1 year after the diagnosis of oesophageal cancer, comparing subgroups of curatively and palliatively managed patients. Methods: This is a nationwide population-based cohort study, based on the Swedish National Registry for
Background: As part of I-O Optimise, a multinational research platform providing real-world insights into the management of lung cancers, the SCAN-LEAF study aims to describe the epidemiology, clinical care, and outcomes for pts with NSCLC in Scandinavia. Here, we report temporal OS trends among pts diagnosed with incident NSCLC from 2005 to 2015 in Denmark and Sweden. Methods: The SCAN-LEAF Danis
Objective: The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) frailty index (FI) predicts mortality and damage accrual in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), but its association with hospitalizations has not been described. Our objective was to estimate the association of baseline SLICC-FI values with future hospitalizations in the SLICC inception cohort. Methods: Baseline SLICC-FI sco
