The majority of the large hydro power plants in Sweden were built 1935 - 1975 and are located in a cold climate in the northern parts of Sweden. Since the power plants were designed for a service life of 50-100 years, some of them are soon to reach their estimated service life and some have already passed it. During a condition assessment to determine the status of the Porsi hydro power plant, con
Importance: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation in humans worldwide. Circulating cardiovascular biomarkers could potentially improve the early detection of CHD, even in asymptomatic newborns. Objectives: To assess the performance of a dried blood spot (DBS) test to measure the cardiovascular biomarker amino terminal fragment of the prohormone brain-type natriu
Background: There are no conclusive results from randomized trials on radiotherapy (RT) versus radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Numerous observational studies have suggested that RP is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer death, but whether results have been biased due to limited adjustments for confounding factors is unknown. Objective: To compare the risk of prostate ca
Background: International guidelines recommend placement of intrauterine devices immediately after second-trimester medical abortion, but evidence concerning the optimal time for intrauterine device placement is lacking from clinical trials. Objective: This study aimed to investigate effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of intrauterine device placement within 48 hours, compared with placement
Background: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) of kidney stones is losing ground to more expensive and invasive endoscopic treatments. Objective: This proof-of-concept project was initiated to develop artificial intelligence (AI)-augmented ESWL and to investigate the potential for machine learning to improve the efficacy of ESWL. Design, setting, and participants: Two-dimensional ultraso
Smoking cessation prolongs survival and decreases mortality of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In addition, epigenetic alterations of some genes are associated with survival. However, potential interactions between smoking cessation and epigenetics have not been assessed. Here, we conducted an epigenome-wide interaction analysis between DNA methylation and smoking cessation on N
Introduction. Fava beans are an increasingly popular and viable crop, and an excellent nutritious choice for novel plant-based food products. Fava beans are industrially underexploited as a food ingredient and are today mainly used as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk. While soy milk dominates the legume-based beverage segment, the
OBJECTIVE: It is unknown how risk factors for infection after transrectal prostate biopsy interact. We designed a study to evaluate this.METHODS: We identified biopsy procedures from 2006 to 2020 in the Swedish nationwide database PCBaSe. Primary outcome was post-biopsy infection, defined as a dispensed prescription of a urinary tract antibiotic and secondary outcome was inpatient care for infecti
Importance: Persistent disparities in mortality across countries suggest uneven improvements in living standards and access to life-extending health technologies, as well as context-specific obstacles. Studies have analyzed cross-country inequality in mortality but have not widely contextualized those disparities in terms of developmental progress relative to a frontier representing a level of mor
IMPORTANCE Risk stratification strategies in primary prevention of coronary events lack precision. OBJECTIVE To determine whether prediction of first coronary events is improved by adding information on coronary atherosclerosis from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to a model using the pooled cohort equation (PCE) risk score tool and the coronary artery calcification score (CACS). D
Importance: Emerging evidence suggests that cholesterol plays a role in breast cancer (BC) metabolism, raising the possibility that cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins, may improve BC prognosis. Objective: To evaluate the association between postdiagnosis statin initiation and BC mortality using an emulated target trial approach. Design, Setting, and Participants: This observational
Introduction:Fava beans are becoming an increasingly popular and viable crop, offering a nutritious option for innovative plant-based food products. Despite their potential, fava beans remain underutilized in the food industry, with their primary use still being as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk alternatives. While soy milk curr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under 1900-talet har stora förändringar skett i synen på buddhistisk meditation. Från att ha varit en övning som bara ägt rum på kloster och bland ett fåtal munkar, har både ordinerade lärare och lekmannalärare börjat lära ut meditation till lekfolk. Meditation har kommit att framställas som själva hjärtat i buddhistiska traditioner, och som det element som kan isolerasThe purpose of this study is to investigate how a religious tradition changes when transposed to a new context: how it is received and incorporated in its new context and how individuals in Sweden perceive and make use of this tradition. This is done by highlighting the development of insight meditation, Vipassana, and more specifically, the Burmese practice lineage originating from the Burmese la
Popular Abstract in Swedish På grund av den förutspådda energi krisen som föranleds av att oljan tar slut, är det viktigt att söka efter alternativa energikällor. Att utnyttja solljuset via en artificiell fotosyntes är en intressant möjlighet. Det långsiktiga målet för forskning på detta område är att bygga molekylära och/eller fasta material som kan använda solljus för att dela vatten i dess bestDue to the predicted energy crisis when fossil fuels will be exhausted it is important to search for alternative energy sources. Utilizing sunlight via artificial photosynthesis is an interesting possibility. The long-term goal for research in this area is to design and build molecular and/or solid state systems that can use sunlight to split water and produce fuel (e.g. hydrogen). Nature tells us
IMPORTANCE Diurnal fluctuations of motor and nonmotor symptoms and a high prevalence of sleep-wake disturbances in Parkinson disease (PD) suggest a role of the circadian system in the modulation of these symptoms. However, surprisingly little is known regarding circadian function in PD and whether circadian dysfunction is involved in the development of sleep-wake disturbances in PD. OBJECTIVE To d

Background and Objectives: Photodynamic therapy using 20% 5 aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has recently been introduced as a new tool in optical skin rejuvenation. The primary objective of this study was to optimize incubation time, the topical delivery mechanism (vehicle) and the concentration of 5-ALA by detecting the dynamic changes of normal skin after 5-ALA application. The secondary objective w
