BackgroundSymptom severity cutoffs for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) are lacking, hindering communication between professionals and with the patient community.MethodWe pooled data from 11 clinical trials or high-quality cohort studies from specialist clinics, totaling 804 individuals with BDD (80 % girls/women, 67 % adults). All participants had baseline scores on the adult or adolescent versions
Introduction: Comorbidities and public health conditions in haemophilia are receiving increasing attention. Aim: To analyse the prevalence of comorbidities and mortality in people with haemophilia (PwH) compared to matched controls in subgroups (factor consumption and sex). Methods: This study used longitudinal individual-level data (11 years) from national registers in three Nordic countries (Den
BackgroundIbrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor, prolongs progression-free survival when added to immunochemotherapy as first line treatment. The ENRICH trial compared the chemotherapy-free combination of ibrutinib and the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab (ibrutinib–rituximab) with standard immunochemotherapy (R-CHOP [rituximab–cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone] or b
Generalist parasites must adapt to diverse host environments to ensure their survival and transmission. These adaptations can involve fixed genetic responses, transcriptional plasticity, or epigenetic mechanisms. The avian malaria parasite Plasmodium homocircumflexum offers an ideal model for studying transcriptional variation across hosts. We experimentally inoculated P. homocircumflexum into dif
Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence has steadily increased in Sweden, more steeply in the mid-1990s caused by increased opportunistic prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. Tallness, normal weight, and non-smoking are associated with more PSA testing, which increases detection of low-risk and localised PCa. We investigated time trends of height, body mass index (BMI), and smoking with PCa risk in 17
In this study we investigate risk management trade-offs by evaluating how key persons at workplaces with a potential for exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) reason about what is practically possible in terms of exposure reduction. While the included companies (N = 14) represented different types of processes and work-tasks, interviewees all identified that many types of hazards compete for at
Background/objectives: Being overweight increases the predisposition to obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D), which significantly elevate stroke risk and the likelihood of severe post-stroke disability. Dietary nitrate (NO3−) supplementation can mitigate obesity and metabolic impairments, making it a promising approach to halt overweight people from developing overt obesity/T2D, thereby potentially a
In many tasks, participants are instructed to fixate a target. While maintaining fixation, the eyes nonetheless make small fixational eye movements, such as microsaccades and drift. Previous work has examined the effect of fixation point design on fixation stability and the amount and spatial extent of fixational eye movements. However, much of this work used video-based eye trackers, which have i
Human hands can perform far more gestures than the number of muscles controlling them, as most gestures result from coordinated combinations of muscle activations and relaxations. This complexity poses a key challenge for human-machine interfaces performing gesture classification based on electromyography (EMG). Rather than identifying all conceivable gestures, it may be simpler to instead identif
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection (SSI) following orthopedic surgery impacts patient outcomes. Airborne transmission is one potential route of infection. Despite their high cost and resource demands, modern ventilation systems have shown limited efficacy in reducing SSI rates. This trial investigated the effectiveness of a low-cost air purifier in reducing SSI rates after orthopedic surgery. METH
Background Exertional breathlessness is a limiting symptom that often coexists with anxiety and depression. We tested the hypothesis that anxiety and depression negatively impact exertional breathlessness in daily life and during standardised cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Methods Analysis of people aged ⩾40 years undergoing incremental cycle CPET. Exertional breathlessness in daily life
Objective: To assess the risk of suicide after a diagnosis of urinary bladder cancer (UBC) compared with the standard population and to identify potential risk factors and time dependence associated with suicide in patients with UBC. Method: We used data from the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden 2.0 (BladderBaSe), including all individuals aged 18 years or older, diagnosed with UBC between 1997 and
Objective: Mounting evidence supports an association between the intestinal microbiota and diverse pulmonary pathologies (ie, gut-lung axis). Although intestinal dysbiosis is a feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc), no prior studies have investigated the relationship between intestinal microbiota and SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) in a multinational cohort. This study aimed to charac
BackgroundTo enable immunotherapy for ovarian cancers, precision targets for immune priming as well as patient stratification approaches are required. The tumor microenvironment in particularly the rare subtypes of low-grade serous, mucinous, clear cell and endometrioid ovarian cancer, remains poorly characterized, and these tumors have been largely ignored in the immuno-oncology setting.MethodsWe
