The etiology of leukemias cannot entirely be explained by known risk factors, including ionizing radiation, benzene exposure, and infection with human T cell leukemia virus. A number of studies suggested that diet influences the risk of adult leukemias. However, results have been largely inconsistent. We examined the potential association between dietary factors and risk of leukemias among partici

This study investigated whether perinatal factors influenced the risk of a double diagnosis of type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.

Particle size distributions and hygroscopic growth were studied in a town in Sweden with extensive emissions from wood combustion. The average deposited fraction of particle number, surface area and volume dose in the human respiratory tract was estimated using the data set, as well as the typical deposition pattern of the two dominant particle source types: wood combustion and traffic exhaust. As

Recent studies suggest that meat intake is associated with diabetes-related phenotypes. However, whether the associations of meat intake and glucose and insulin homeostasis are modified by genes related to glucose and insulin is unknown.

Given the anthropometric differences between men and women and previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) and took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 individuals) in a total of

In the beginning of the 1990’s community service was introduced at a couple of Swedish courts as an experiment. It was to be a compliment to probation and together the two were supposed to be considered the equivalent in harshness of a shorter prison sentence. After a few years the experiment was extended to all Swedish courts and by the end of the decade community service was made a permanent par

Aims Inflammatory markers are established risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the role of autoimmune diseases is unknown. The aim of the study was to examine the association between coeliac disease (CD) and AF in a large cohort of patients with biopsy-verified CD. Methods and results We identified 28 637 patients with CD through biopsy reports (defined as Marsh 3: villous atrophy) from

Nu för tiden använder människor världen över, medvetet eller omedvetet, molntjänster, där stora mängder personlig information placeras och lagras. Personuppgifter är en av de mest värdefulla tillgångar ett företag kan inneha, och således utnyttjar företag runt om i världen sådan personlig information för kommersiella syften. Samtidigt har statliga myndigheters övervakning av personer och insamlingToday, people all around the world, consciously or unconsciously, use services provided by cloud computing where large amounts of personal data is placed and stored. Personal data is one of the most valuable assets a company can hold, and therefore companies utilise such data for commercial purposes. At the same time, the surveillance powers and the collection of personal data have increased among

This thesis has two main objectives related to trading foreign currencies. First, it is investigated how the customer order ow of Nordea is related to currency price changes. Second, the goal is to nd a new way of grouping customers that can give additional insights in the trading behaviour of dierent customers. The study uses order ow data which consists of spot and forward transactions made in

Responsibility to Protect is a principle that has developed from a report written by ICISS in 2001. The report was inspired by a statement of Kofi Annan where he questioned how the international community would stop another incident like Rwanda or Srebrenica. Since then many situations have occurred that has challenged the concept of R2P. The debate about humanitarian interventions based on intern

Despite its recent growth, the European online grocery business is struggling to secure broad consumer acceptance. Previous research has linked the slow diffusion of e-food commerce mostly to factors at the individual level of innovation adoption. As a result, the role of change agents, i.e. those professionals who try to influence how well an innovation is taken up in a system, has been grossly n

The human brain is a complex and finely tuned organ, constantly monitored and maintained by its resident immune cells.Among these, microglia are the primary regulators of the brain immune environment under physiological conditions, and monocyte-derived macrophages contribute mainly to pathological states such as ischemic stroke and neuronopathic Gaucher’s disease (GD). These two diseases, although

Comprehensive screening of the general population is the only approach capable of identifying the majority of cases with celiac disease. In 2023, the Italian Parliament enacted a law to implement nationwide screening for celiac disease and type 1 diabetes. However, critical decisions regarding the target population, optimal timing, and screening methods remain unresolved. Previous observational st

Background: Long term β-blocker therapy after myocardial infarction (MI) reduces mortality and recurrent MI but evidence for this treatment predates contemporary acute coronary care. β-blocker treatment is a key quality of care indicator in the Swedish national quality register for acute coronary care, Riks-HIA. Between 2011 and 2015 a declining number of MI-patients discharged with a β-blocker fr

Introduction: Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is increasingly used to measure obstruction in the airways; however, the association between airway obstruction and the actual symptom burden in asthma is not known. Therefore, we aimed to investigate central and peripheral airway obstruction, measured by FOT, in association to symptoms and quality of life in asthma. Methods: 319 asthma patients wer

Objective: This study aimed to report changes in the annual incidence of invasive treatment, changes in invasive treatment modalities, and sex differences in patients treated for intermittent claudication (IC) due to infrainguinal lesions in Sweden between 2009 and 2022. Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Vascular Registry (Swedvasc), including all registrations of invasive treatment fo

Detecting a single elementary charge has become an important task to achieve as applications within quantumtechnologies such as for qubit readout, nanothermodynamics or single shot photodetection rely on the locationof single electrons. The use of microwave resonators as the readout method for the charge sensitive single electrondevices, such as quantum dots, has been extensively used to achieve h
