Background Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is a disease process driven by inflammation and lipid infiltration, serving as a precursor to aortic stenosis. While male sex has been implicated as a risk factor for AVC, sex-specific differences, particularly among younger individuals in the general population, are not well characterised. Methods The Swedish CArdioPulmonary BioImage Study was used, com

Background Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are often admitted to monitored wards due to the risk of complications. Several risk prediction scores exist, but their use in the emergency department (ED) is limited. We aimed to compare the ability of existing risk scores with a new logistic regression model in predicting complications in ACS patients. Methods This was a secondary analysis

Background Approximately one-third-of patients with transient new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) during hospitalization for noncardiac surgery or medical illness will have recurrent AF within 1 year when assessed using two 14-day ECG monitors. The proportion of patients that would be diagnosed with recurrent AF with less monitoring is unknown. Methods We used data from a prospective cohort of part

Background: The study of emotion regulation (ER) has gained traction in forensic psychological and psychiatric research as a correlate of antisocial and aggressive behavior as well as for its relevance to psychopathology. However, conceptual and definitional ambiguity persists. Methods: This pre-registered systematic review aimed to investigate how ER is conceptualized and measured in forensic pop

Most European Union (EU) residents live in areas where outdoor air pollution levels exceed the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide. Outdoor air pollution is classified as carcinogenic to humans, and both outdoor and indoor air contain established human carcinogens, including diesel exhaust particulates, benzo(a)pyrene [B(A)P] and benz

Occupational exposure to cancer-causing agents is a major, yet preventable, contributor to cancer in Europe and globally. In the European Union (EU), cancer is responsible for nearly half of all work-related deaths, underscoring the critical need for prevention measures. Effective strategies typically involve regulatory and workplace measures aimed at reducing or eliminating exposure risks. Raisin

The European Code Against Cancer (ECAC) provides evidence-based recommendations to help individuals reduce their cancer risk. For the 5th edition (ECAC5), recommendations on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and indoor radon exposures were updated, and complementary recommendations for policymakers were introduced. UVR and radon are classified as carcinogenic to humans (group 1 carcinogens) in the Inter

Objective To train and validate a deep learning-based diagnostic tool capable of accurately segmenting the alveolar cleft region and automatically estimating the required bone graft volume using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Study Design Eighty-eight CBCT scans from patients with nonsyndromic unilateral clefts were divided into training (n = 45), validation (n = 10), and test (n =

Purpose: To describe the prevalence of neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) of varying severity in older community-dwelling men, identify associated factors, and evaluate whether prevalent NP/LBP are risk factors for experiencing pain 5 years later. Patients and Methods: MrOS Sweden is a prospective observational study that included 3014 community-dwelling men aged 69–81 years, of whom 1962 atte

Background: Breathlessness on exertion is a common, distressing, and limiting symptom that can be quantified on incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) using normative reference equations. Research Question: Is the breathlessness abnormality best uncovered and assessed at symptom limitation (peak exercise) compared with submaximal exercise intensities? Study Design and Methods: This wa

Background Trauma is the leading cause of quality-related mortality in low- and middle-income countries, with an estimated two million preventable deaths each year. Although trauma quality improvement programmes have been utilised in high-income countries for more than three decades, there is no high-level evidence of their effect on patient outcomes. We aimed to assess whether implementing a cont

The effects of quality improvement interventions in healthcare are mixed, and the mechanisms through which they mediate their effect remain poorly understood. Quality improvement methods often rest on implicit assumptions of predictability, linear causality, and standardisation. Health systems are increasingly recognised as complex adaptive systems, where outcomes emerge through adaptation, self-o

OBJECTIVE: To examine temporal changes in late diagnosis of HIV (LD) among migrant and non-migrant people with HIV in Sweden 2003-2023 and to assess demographic and socioeconomic risk factors for LD in these two populations.METHODS: People with HIV diagnosed with HIV-1 in Sweden 2003-2023 were included (n = 6278). LD was defined as a first CD4+ T-cell count <350 cells/μL or an AIDS-defining event

DocHdl1OnPRINTREADYtmpTarget 81 ORNIS SVECICA 20: 81–86, 2010 Abstract Introduction In long-lived, long-distance migrants, immatures may visit future breeding grounds in one or more years before breeding for the first time. Generally, these prospecting visits and breeding commence at a higher age in larger species and species with a higher expected life-span (Becker & Bradley 2007, Weimerskirch 20

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition, which is associated with an increased risk of comorbidity from other diseases. RA disease severity is a major predictor of development of cardiovascular disease, serious infections and malignant lymphoma. This reflects the role of chronic inflammation in the underlying pathology. Recent surveys indicate that although clinical outcomes
