PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different posterior-inferior tibial slope (PITS) angles on ACL injury at non-contact sports, knee laxity and the need for ACL reconstruction. METHODS: One hundred patients with an acute, arthroscopically verified total ACL rupture were followed prospectively with the intention of treating the injury without reconstruction. Knee laxity was assessed with the Lachman

Over three-quarters of the world’s poor live in rural areas and many of them depend on agriculture to earn a living. In a context of climate change, Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) is addressed as one of the main sources of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Hence, the sustainability transition in the agricultural sector has become one of the most prominent development areas in the 2

Alcohol consumption is important within the research of service management in retail, because it is not only a consumption phenomenon, but also a societal matter. Inappropriate drinking culture and unhealthy drinking habits can cause serious issues to the individuals and the society. Consumers’ drinking habits could be significantly influenced by the value that they perceive and seek for ((Babin,

Background Medication abortion, with a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, is highly effective and safe. However, there is insufficient evidence on efficacy and safety at very early gestations before a pregnancy can be visualized with ultrasonography. Methods We conducted a multicenter, noninferiority, randomized, controlled trial involving women requesting medication abortion at up to 42

OBJECTIVES: To investigate hip dysplasia as a risk factor for clinically relevant and incident radiographic hip OA.METHODS: From a prospective cohort (CHECK) of 1002 middle-aged, new consulters for hip and/or knee pain, 468 hips (251 individuals) were selected based on hip pain, available lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and absence of definite radiographic hip OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade

Background: Treating patients in cardiac arrest (CA) with mechanical chest compressions (MCC) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now routine in many coronary catheterization laboratories (cath-lab) and more aggressive treatment modalities, including extracorporeal CPR are becoming more common. The cath-lab setting enables monitoring of vital physiological parameters and other clini

Dronedarone may increase exposure and the risk of major bleeding when prescribed with a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC). This retrospective cohort study examined the risk of the first occurrence of major bleeding (hospitalization or emergency room visit for gastrointestinal [GI] bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage [ICH], or bleeding at other sites) among new users of apixaban, dabigatran, and rivar

Background/Aim To evaluate circumferential resection margin(CRM) as a risk factor for distant metastasis (DM) in rectal cancer.The treatment of rectal cancer has evolved over the last decades.Surgical radicality is the single most important factor in preventingrecurrences, both locally and distantly. CRM B 1.0 mm is consideredto increase recurrence risk. However, not all patients with CRMB 1.0 mm

Objective: The incidence of benign ureteroenteric strictures following radical cystectomy (RC) for urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is investigated mainly in single-centre studies from high-volume centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cumulative incidence of strictures and risk factors in a population-based cohort. Patients and methods: Data was collected from Bladder Cancer Data Base Swe

Introduction: Lynch syndrome is a multi-tumor syndrome characterized by mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-d), microsatellite instability (MSI), and increased tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) making these tumors candidates for treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, response may depend on tumor-induced immune evasion mechanisms, e.g. loss of Beta-2-Microglobulin (B2M) or upregulati

Objective: To assess which structural abnormalities on knee MRI are associated with development of osteophytes in middle-aged subjects without radiographic knee osteoarthritis. Design: We included subjects from the Osteoarthritis Initiative, aged 40–55 years, Kellgren & Lawrence grade 0 in both knees, and knee MRIs from both knees available at baseline, 24, 48 and 72 months. Structural exposur

Nätläkare, vårdgivare som tillhandahåller sjukvårdstjänster via smartphoneappar, har gått från att vara perifera inslag i den svenska sjukvården till att på allvar utmana det konventionella sättet att bedriva sjukvård. Den tillgänglighet som nätläkare erbjuder är oöverträffad men alla patientgrupper har inte sett sin tillgång till vård förbättras i samma utsträckning tack vare nätläkare.Syftet medOnline doctor services, healthcare provided via smartphone apps, have gone from being peripheral to seriously challenging the conventional Swedish way of providing healthcare services. The accessibility of online doctors is unsurpassed but all patient groups have not gotten better access to healthcare thanks to online doctors.The aim of this study was to investigate how perceptions of the online d

Background: It has previously been reported that venous cannulation-induced pain (VCP) can be used to predict acute postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients rating VCP at ≥2.0 VAS units had 3.4 times higher risk for moderate or severe pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if VCP scores of ≥2.0 VAS units are associated with higher risk for acute postoperative pain a

Due to the consistently high proportion of surgical site infections (SSI) after vascular surgery, a change of prophylactic antibiotic therapy from cloxacillin/cefotaxime to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) was conducted in 2016. The study included consecutive patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization due to acute or chronic lower extremity arterial disease. The antibiotic regime

Objectives To study the effect of a progressively enhanced rest–shade–hydration–hygiene (RSHH) intervention on kidney injury and inflammation biomarkers, and rates of clinical acute kidney injury (AKI) in Nicaraguan sugarcane workers with a very high rate of chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origin (CKDnt). Methods We analysed serum creatinine and C-reactive protein (CRP) and leukocyturia

AimsDyspnoea accounts for nearly 5% of emergency department (ED) visits. Our aim was to describe the in-hospital and long-term outcomes of patients admitted to the ED for dyspnoea, based on their underlying aetiology, and to determine if prognosis varies according to the hospitalization setting.MethodsWe analyzed 18 903 consecutive patients (48% male, average age 73 years) hospitalized after an ED

Importance Substantial improvements in childhood cancer survival have created a critical need to address serious long-term health complications, such as valvular heart disease (VHD). Objective To identify treatment-related risk factors for VHD in a large European cohort of long-term childhood cancer survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants This nested case-control study used data from the PanC
