During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swedish Covid Association (SCA) was established to represent individuals with Long COVID (LC). The unique Swedish response to the pandemic, characterized by minimal restrictions, serves as the backdrop for the SCA’s efforts to highlight the specific needs of LC patients, who were largely excluded from pandemic policies and protective measures. Utilizing the Narrat

Since its emergence in late 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has continuously evolved, giving rise to multiple variants that have significantly altered the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. These variants have resulted in multiple waves of the pandemic, exhibiting characteristic mutations in the spike (S) protein that may have affected receptor interaction, tis

Work in developmental pragmatics has shown that even though infants display refined mindreading abilities, older children struggle to understand language phenomena that rely on mindreading. This apparent mismatch might be partially explained by considering children's growing sensitivity to social categories such as their interlocutor's age. Based on recent work in philosophy of mind, we investigat

Since the introduction of the RUT tax deduction in 2007, the market for private domestic care services has grown rapidly in Sweden. Today, deductions can be made for cleaning and gardening, as well as for care services such as going for walks, providing companionship, assisting with dressing, and helping with personal hygiene. One main group that make use of the tax deduction are elderly over the

Objective: To identify and quantify risk factors for incident knee osteoarthritis (KOA) across the lifespan. Methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis identified eligible studies from seven electronic databases and three registries. Longitudinal cohort studies or randomised controlled trials evaluating participants who developed incident symptomatic and/or radiographic KOA were included. T

This article examines how the U.S. ‘inclusion-and-difference paradigm’translates to the Swedish context. According to Steven Epstein (2007), thisparadigm combines health equity arguments for racialised minorities andwomen with a biological understanding of racial and gender differences inmedicine. Drawing on interviews with experts, policymakers, and clini-cians involved in international clinical

A new theory for the dispersibility enhancing effect of excipient fines for adhesive mixtures for inhalation is presented in this paper, while at the same time the shortcomings of current hypotheses are discussed. The proposed mechanism, denoted the ‘viscoelastic damping effect’, states that the presence of fines particles acts to dampen the collisions between carrier particles during mixing. As a

Presented is the search for anomalous Higgs boson decays into two axion-like particles (ALPs) using the full Run 2 data set of 140fb-1 of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV recorded by the ATLAS experiment. The ALPs are assumed to decay into two photons, providing sensitivity to recently proposed models that could explain the (g-2)μ discrepancy. This analysis covers an AL

Background and Objective: This narrative review addresses idiopathic acute pancreatitis (IAP) and its epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical course and treatment during the last decade. As there is no previously validated protocol for finding the aetiology of acute pancreatitis (AP), the primary aim of this study is to find, describe and unify evidence about the diagnostic work-up of AP to diagnose the

Infectious diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. Severe infections can manifest in many ways, creating a heterogeneous clinical and molecular disease landscape that renders these diseases difficult to research, diagnose, and treat. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of infectious disease, we apply mass spectrometry-based proteomics to analyze blood plasma samples f

The Vimmerby Moraine is the only significant ice-marginal moraine on the eastern side of southern Sweden, but no detailed studies exist on its formation during the final deglaciation of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet. Through ground-penetrating radar surveys and detailed sediment logging, we provide evidence for an active, oscillating ice margin during the formation of the Vimmerby Moraine, suggestin

Women have made substantial gains in education in recent decades and outperformmen in educational attainment across the OECD, but the consequences of this reversal of the gender gap in education (RGE) have not been well researched. In this study, we address the association between the RGE and partnering, employment, and support for a right-wing populist party in Sweden. Of note, we explore the dif

Women have made substantial gains in education and outperform men regarding educational attainment across the OECD, but the consequences of this reversal of the gender gap in education (RGE) have not been well researched. We address the association between the RGE and partnering, employment, and support for a right-wing populist party in Sweden. We explore the differential impacts of women's educa
