Introduction: Our objective was to investigate the trajectories of anxiety, depression, emotional and social functioning in women with newly diagnosed vulvar cancer from the time of diagnosis to 12 months after treatment. A further aim was to identify risk factors for high levels of anxiety. Material and methods: PROVE (PROspective Vulvar Cancer Evaluation) is a nationwide longitudinal cohort stud

Background: The non-conventional yeast Rhodotorula toruloides is an emerging host organism in biotechnology by merit of its natural capacity to accumulate high levels of carotenoids and intracellular storage lipids from a variety of carbon sources. While the number of genetic engineering strategies that employ R. toruloides is increasing, the lack of genetic tools available for modification of thi

Evidence suggests that single photon absorptiometry (SPA)-measured forearm bone mineral density (BMD) is lower in contemporary children in Malmö than it was four decades ago, but the fracture incidence in the at-risk population (all Malmö children) has been stable during the same period. The aim of this study was to evaluate if improvements in skeletal structure over time may explain this observat

Substantial variability exists in what pathologists consider as pT4a in colorectal cancer when tumor cells are within 1 mm of the free peritoneal surface. This study aimed to determine if the measured sub-millimeter distance between tumor cells and the free peritoneal surface would offer an objective means of stratifying patients according to the risk of developing peritoneal metastases. Histologi

OBJECTIVE: To assess the progression of type 1 diabetes using time to peak glucose or C-peptide during oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) in autoantibody-positive relatives of people with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We examined 2-h OGTTs of participants in the Diabetes Prevention Trial Type 1 (DPT-1) and TrialNet Pathway to Prevention (PTP) studies. We included 706 DPT-1 partic

AIMS: The clinical usefulness of historical concentrations of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is unknown. This study investigated the ability to rule out myocardial infarction (MI) with the use of historical hs-cTnT concentrations among patients with chest pain in the emergency department (ED).METHODS AND RESULTS: The derivation cohort consisted of patients presenting with chest pain

BackgroundLow concentrations of serum selenium (Se) and its main transporter selenoprotein P (SELENOP) are associated with a poor prognosis following breast cancer diagnosis. Recently, natural autoantibodies (aAb) with antagonistic properties to SELENOP uptake have been identified in healthy subjects, and in patients with thyroid disease. Given the potential transport disrupting properties, we hyp

Background: Vasopressin concentration is typically higher at night, during stress, and in males, but readily lowered by water intake. Vasopressin is also a causal candidate for cardiometabolic disease, which shows seasonal variation. Objective: To study whether vasopressin concentration varies by season in a temperate climate. Methods: The vasopressin surrogate marker copeptin was analyzed in fast

Background: We wanted to evaluate if health care for multiple myeloma (MM) patients is equal in different regions of Sweden. Aim: To study differences in survival for MM depending on health care region and early use of modern treatment. Methods and results: Data from the Swedish Myeloma Register from patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2017 was used. Cohorts were defined by the six healthcare regi

Questions about the existence and temporality of intention in jazz improvisation are investigated based on phenomenological interviews with 48 expert jazz improvisers: Do improvisers intend that which they will play, and, if so, are their conception and execution of a musical idea coincident, or are they separated in time? The findings on improvisatory cognition are summarized and discussed by mea

Improvisation and Intention. Jazz musicians' views on improvisational cognitionIn previous research on jazz improvisation, questions about the role of intention seem to be subject to widely differing views. What role do intentions play in jazz improvisation? If the improviser has a conscious intention to play what is being played, is this simultaneous with the per­formance of it, or are intention

INTRODUCTION: This study examined trends in socioeconomic inequalities in obesity among Portuguese women and men using data from National Health Surveys (NHSs).METHODS: We analysed weighted data from adults aged 20-64 years from the 1998/1999 (n = 20,581), 2005/2006 (n = 13,088), 2014 (n = 7284), and 2019 (n = 5959) NHSs. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m 2, based on self-repor

Objective To investigate the effect of Body Mass Index (BMI) on long-term radiographic damage in an inception rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohort. Methods The study population, n=1813, originated from the observational Better AntiRheumatic FarmacoTherapy cohort. X-rays of hands and feet at inclusion, 1, 2, 5, 8 and 15 years were quantified for erosion score (ES), joint space narrowing (JSN) and the s
