Valgus slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), is rare. This study describes the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of valgus SCFE in Uruguay. The medical records and radiographs were reviewed in eight consecutive children [mean age 11.9 years (range 9-13; six female)] with valgus SCFE between 1997-2017. In 2018-2019, all patients were reexamined clinically, new radiographs obtained, and patient-r

This thesis covers a set of methods related to machine perception and localization, which are two important building blocks of artificial intelligence. In Paper I, we explore the concept of regression via classification (RvC), which is often used for perception tasks where the target variable is either ordinal or when the distance metric of the target space is not well-suited as an objective funct

Inflammatory skin conditions highly influence the quality of life of the patients suffering from these disorders. Symptoms include red, itchy and painful skin lesions, which are visible to the rest of the world, causing stigmatization and a significantly lower mental health of the patients. Treatment options are often unsatisfactory, as they suffer from either low patient adherence or the risk of

Context. In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances for large samples of Galactic stars, complementing Gaia astrometry. Among those surveys, the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey, the only one performed on a 8m class telescope, was designed to target 100 000 st

Background: Previous studies demonstrated increases in diagnostic confidence and change in patient management after amyloid-PET. However, studies investigating longitudinal outcomes over an extended period of time are limited. Therefore, we aimed to investigate clinical outcomes up to 9 years after amyloid-PET to support the clinical validity of the imaging technique. Methods: We analyzed longitud

We aimed to describe the increased rate of Acinetobacter baumannii infections during the COVID-19 pandemic and define its significance within the last five years. This study was performed in a tertiary hospital with 280 beds and included all patients infected with A. baumannii in the intensive care unit between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2022. A. baumannii-infected patients in the intensive car

Background: The mechanisms underlying the obesity-cancer relationship are incompletely understood. This study aimed to characterise metabolic signatures of greater body size and to investigate their association with two obesity-related malignancies, endometrial and colorectal cancers, and with weight loss within the context of an intervention study. Methods: Targeted mass spectrometry metabolomics

Genetic and environmental factors both contribute to the development of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). One suggested environmental risk factor for ASD and ADHD is air pollution, but knowledge of its effects, especially in low-exposure areas, are limited. Here, we investigate risks for ASD and ADHD associated with prenatal exposure to air polluti

BACKGROUND: Follow-up with computed tomographic angiography is recommended after endovascular aneurysm repair, exposing patients to significant levels of radiation and iodine contrast medium. Dual-energy computed tomography allows virtual noncontrast (VNC) images to be reconstructed from contrast-enhanced images using a software algorithm. If the VNC images are a good-enough approximation of true

The structural heterogeneity of tumor tissue can be probed by diffusion MRI (dMRI) in terms of the variance of apparent diffusivities within a voxel. However, the link between the diffusional variance and the tissue heterogeneity is not well-established. To investigate this link we test the hypothesis that diffusional variance, caused by microscopic anisotropy and isotropic heterogeneity, is assoc

Background: Obesity and its associated metabolic complications continue to increase worldwide. We investigated the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) during aging in relation to body mass index (BMI) and exercise habits. We assigned special emphasis to the metabolic stability in individuals with obesity, but without MetS, a condition often referred to as metabolically healthy obesity. Materi

Kollektivtrafiken är en viktig del av transportsektorn för att uppnå både EU:s och Sveriges klimatmål. För att fler resor ska kunna ersättas med hållbara resor behöver kollektivtrafiken bli mer attraktiv, och ett utvecklingsområde för det är att förbättra trafikinformationen. Trafikinformation värderas högt, inte bara utifrån dess tillgänglighet, utan även utifrån kvaliteten. Den påverkar både denPublic transport is an important part of the transport sector in achieving both the EU’s and Sweden’s climate goals. In order to replace more journeys with sustainable alternatives, public transport needs to become more attractive, and one area for development is the improvement of traffic information. Traffic information is highly valued, not only in terms of its availability, but also in terms o

Uppsatsen har genom en rättssociologisk undersökning granskat hur en lagändring gällande barnets behov av en god och nära kontakt med båda föräldrarna förhåller sig till barnets välmående i alla vårdnads-, boende -och umgängesmål. Lagändringen framförs i proposition 2024/25:10 tryggare hem för barn, som uppsatsen har redovisat för samt i betänkandet till propositionen. Lagändringen motiveras av enThe thesis has examined how a legislative change regarding the child's need of a good and close relationship with both parents relates to the child's well-being in all custody, residence, and contact matters. The legislative change is presented in the bill 2024/25:10 A Safer Home for Children, which the thesis has discussed, as well as the report accompanying the bill. The change is motiva

Background: The increased prevalence of atopic diseases may be due to lifestyle changes affecting our exposure to microbes. We investigated the association between infections, fever, and atopic diseases in a large international birth cohort setting. Methods: 3842 children at genetic risk for type 1 diabetes were followed prospectively for the first 10 years for the occurrence of infections and ato
