Background: Depression is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aims were to explore the prevalence of depression, anxiety, antidepressant use, obesity, Hemoglobin A1c > 64 mmol/mol, life-style factors, pre-existing CVD, in patients with newly diagnosed T2D; to explore associations with depression; and to compare with Swedish general population data. Methods

Background: Hepatitis B virus infection is a global health problem with the highest prevalence in East Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The majority of infected people, including healthcare workers are unaware of their status. This study is aimed to determining seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus infection and associated factors among healthcare workers in northern Tanzania. Methods: This cross-sectio

BACKGROUND: The major risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease differ by race or ethnicity but have largely been defined using populations of European ancestry. Despite the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease in Africa there are few related data from African populations. Therefore, we compared the association of established cardiovascular risk factors with carotid-intima med

Multiple sclerosis leads to diffuse damage of the central nervous system, affecting also the normal-appearing white matter. Demyelination and axonal degeneration reduce regional fractional anisotropy in normal-appearing white matter, which can be routinely mapped with diffusion tensor imaging. However, the standard fractional anisotropy metric is also sensitive to physiological variations in orien

Background and aim: To date, few studies have focused on the health effects of pesticide exposure among avocado farmworkers. We examined the association of exposure to insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides with cognitive and mental health outcomes among these avocado workers from Michoacan, Mexico. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 105 avocado farmworkers between Ma

IMPORTANCE Moderate-grade adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may be treated with full-time bracing. For patients who reject full-time bracing, the effects of alternative, conservative interventions are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine whether self-mediated physical activity combined with either nighttime bracing (NB) or scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) is superior to a control of physical activ

Background: The purpose was to evaluate glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and total-tau in plasma as predictors of poor neurological outcome after out-of-hospital (OHCA) and in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), including comparisons with neurofilament light (NFL) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Methods: Retrospective multicentre observational study of patients admitted to an intensive care u

BackgroundSelenoprotein P (SELENOP) is a transporter for selenium and has been shown to protect selenium status maintenance in brain against deficiency, supporting neuronal development, neurogenesis and neurocognitive function. Selenium deficiency has previously been associated with cognitive impairment in various populations, but no studies have been carried out in subjects with heart failure (HF

The effect of the procedural variability in image acquisition on the quantitative assessment of bone scan is unknown. Here, we have developed and performed preanalytical studies to assess the impact of the variability in scanning speed and in vendor-specific γ-camera on reproducibility and accuracy of the automated bone scan index (BSI). Methods: Two separate preanalytical studies were performed:

Background: Targeted temperature management is recommended after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and may be achieved using a variety of cooling devices. This study was conducted to explore the performance and outcomes for intravascular versus surface devices for targeted temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Method: A retrospective analysis of data from the Targeted Temperatu

Background: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) is a well-known risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, studies examining its relation to atrial fibrillation (AF) have produced conflicting results and suggested possible sex-specific differences. This study investigated the sex-specific associations between serum apoB concentrations and incident AF and offer insight into the inconsistencies in previous resea

Importance: Early identification of the likelihood of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using minimal information is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention, which can affect developmental outcomes. Objective: To develop and validate a machine learning (ML) model for predicting ASD using a minimal set of features from background and medical information and to evaluate the predictors and the util

Denna uppsats behandlar hur begreppet livsmedel ska förstås i mervärdesskatterättslig mening. Frågan har blivit relevant på grund av den tillfälliga sänkningen av mervärdesskatten på livsmedel från 12 procent till 6 procent, som gäller från och med den 1 april 2026 till och med den 31 december 2027. Eftersom den reducerade skattesatsen endast omfattar sådana produkter som rättsligt kan klassificerThis thesis examines how the concept of food should be understood in the context of value added tax law. The issue has become relevant due to the temporary reduction of VAT on food from 12 percent to 6 percent, which applies from 1 April 2026 until 31 December 2027. Since the reduced tax rate only applies to products that can legally be classified as food, the scope of the concept gains both pract

Background: Quantitative SPECT in radionuclide-therapy is limited by partial-volume effects (PVEs). The implementation of regional voxels (r.v.), estimating mean activity concentrations in regions directly from projections, offers a promising alternative for the geometry-specification to reduce PVEs. Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate that activity-concentration estimation with r.v. is superi
