Primary health care resources for rehabilitation and secondary prevention after myocardial infarction - a questionnaire survey Background: During the first year after a cardiac event, many patients are offered participation in a cardiac rehabilitation programme, after which the patients are often not given the opportunity to continue to attend rehabilitation and secondary prevention programmes. Ai
Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) are important tools for modelling impacts of global change on ecosystem services. However, most models do not take full account of human land management and land use and land cover changes (LULCCs). We integrated croplands and pasture and their management and natural vegetation recovery and succession following cropland abandonment into the LPJ-GUESS DGVM.
A novel environmentally sound continuous-flow hot water extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis method for determination of quercetin in onion raw materials was successfully constructed using a stepwise optimization approach. In the first step, enzymatic hydrolysis of quercetin-3,4'-diglucoside to quercetin was optimized using a three level central composite design considering temperature (75-95°C), p
Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to strengthen the validity of future findings in the Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Robot Open (LAPPRO) study by investigating the extent of interobserver variability between local pathologists and re-evaluating reference pathologists. Material and methods. LAPPRO is a Swedish prospective study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy to open re
Objective To determine the risk of people with mental disorders being victims of homicide. Design National cohort study. Setting Sweden. Participants Entire adult population (n=7 253 516). Main outcome measures Homicidal death during eight years of follow-up (2001-08); hazard ratios for the association between mental disorders and homicidal death, with adjustment for sociodemographic confounders;
ObjectivePatients with congenital heart disease may be operated with surgical reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Reintervention is common in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to examine longitudinal self-reported health measured by the EQ-5D questionnaire. DesignData were collected from the Swedish Registry of Congenital Heart Disease. EQ-5D, which measur
Development of targeted agents for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma includes clinical evaluation of enzastaurin, an agent that suppresses signaling through protein kinase C-beta and AKT pathways. To determine whether protein kinase C-beta expression has prognostic significance for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with immunochemotherapy, we analyzed the expression of pr
BACKGROUND: A novel way to evaluate muscle strength and functioning in the lower limbs is to measure how high a person could step up on a platform, the so called Maximal Step-up Test (MST). Studies of healthy persons and overweight women have shown that the maximal step-up height (MSH) is associated with both muscle strength and physical function, but no study has assessed persons after stroke. OB
Aims/hypothesis Our aim was to investigate the association between birthweight and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), a common diabetes form with features of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Methods We used data from the Epidemiological Study of Risk Factors for LADA and Type 2 Diabetes (ESTRID), a Swedish population-based study. Eligible for the analysis were 134 incident LADA cases (gl
Objective: The Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis (OA) Pain (ICOAP) questionnaire evaluates the constructs of 'intermittent' and 'constant' pain. Theses are conceptually different from 'pain on activity' and pain 'intensity' as measured by the WOMAC and Chronic Pain Grade (CPG), measures commonly used in OA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness of the ICOAP, and diffe
Electrophysiology Core Facility The F09 setup is centered around a Molecular Devices Axopatch 700B amplifier with a Digidata 1440 digitizer. It is designed for use with both cells grown on coverslips and brain slice preparations, allowing for up to 2-channel recordings. These recordings can be paired with electrical stimulation via an isolated current stimulator or local pharmacological stimulatio

Background: The safety and efficacy of the Promus Element stent have been recently demonstrated in a selected population from one randomized trial. The aim of this study was to describe the initial clinical experience with the everolimus eluting platinum chromium stent (Promus Element) in unselected patients from a real life nationwide registry. Methods: The Promus Element DES was compared to all
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of fractures. On the basis of small numbers, patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) have been reported to have an increased fracture risk. Using population-based data from Sweden, we assessed the risks of fractures in 5326 MGUS patients diagnosed from 1958 to 2006, compared with 20 161 matched controls. MGU
Snus is a smokeless tobacco product traditionally used in Scandinavia and available in pouched or loose forms. The objective of this study was to determine nicotine absorption for current pouched and loose snus products in comparison with a cigarette and an over-the-counter nicotine gum. We conducted an open-label, randomized, 6-way, crossover study involving 20 healthy snus and cigarette users. O
Introduction: Omega-3 fatty acid supplements are widely used as an alternative to eating oily fish. However the polyunsaturated oils they contain are highly susceptible to oxidation, which can lead to rancidity and possibly decreased quality of the supplement. Background: Despite the convenience of omega-3 supplementation, there is limited independent information on the oxidative quality of produ
The aim of the study was to investigate whether work-study conflict and study-work conflict predict perceived stress and well-being in full-time university students who work part-time, and whether perceived stress predicts well-being. The study was conducted with a quantitative cross-sectional design where data were collected through a web-based questionnaire where participants answered establishe
