As the greenhouse gas emissions keep on increasing the need for solutions to help reduce emissions across all sectors has never been greater. The European Union has pointed out green hydrogen as a step in increasing the sustainability of the energy sector in Europe. Goals has been set to boost the development of hydrogen technology since the green hydrogen production today is only existing in an i
The study examines the narratives of the Decembrist revolt created in and around Russian state-funded cinema. By exploring the narratives surrounding a particular instance of political dissent in the past, the research seeks to uncover the factors that impact on the negotiation of cultural memory between the text and the audience in the context of state-influenced media. This exploration is based
The construction of episodic memory is an automatic process. Event segmentation theory proposed that segmentation of the continuous perceptual stream into separate memory events occurs when changes in external boundaries lead to changes in internal perceptual and conceptual boundaries. The influence of perceptual and conceptual boundaries on episodic memory encoding has been the subject of intensi
Cytostatika är läkemedel som används för att behandla cancer genom att hämma eller stoppa celldelning. De används även som immunhämmande medel, till exempel vid organtransplantationer och autoimmuna sjukdomar. Eftersom dessa läkemedel påverkar cellers tillväxt kan de vara skadliga även i mycket små mängder om de hamnar i miljön. Cytostatika har upptäckts i ytvatten, grundvatten och dricksvatten i Introduction: Cytostatic pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment, raising concerns due to their persistence and toxicity. Background: Conventional wastewater treatment processes do not effectively remove these compounds. Advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, are needed to degrade cytostatic pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment. However, these process
The aim of this research project was to create a bioinformatic image analysis pipeline for the investigation of lymphocytes in healthy human lungs. The lung is an important organ to study as it provides a fast way for pathogens to enter the body. Therefore, the pulmonary immune system must be further investigated in both healthy and diseased tissue. In order to do comparative studies, we need to c
Background & Aims The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is unclear. Studies indicate a low risk for HCC questioning the rationale for current HCC surveillance guidelines. This study explores the risk of HCC in a longitudinal multicenter cohort with over 3.000 PSC-subjects. Approach & results Subjects with well characterized PSC (n=3.071) were fo
Background: Physical exercise is part of the recommended treatment for individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to improve cardiovascular health without risk of increased disease activity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding facilitating factors for digitally-based HIIT among individuals with axSpA. Objective: Th
Purpose: The purposes are to evaluate the change in mammographic density within individuals across screening rounds using automatic density software, to evaluate whether a change in breast density is associated with a future breast cancer diagnosis, and to provide insight into breast density evolution. Approach: Mammographic breast density was analyzed in women screened in Malmö, Sweden, between 2
BACKGROUND: The management of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients depends on comorbidities, pre-fracture mobility, any hip joint disease, and life expectancy, with treatment typically involving either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). While cemented femoral stem fixation is standard, there is no clear consensus regarding cemented versus cementless cup fixation in
OBJECTIVE: Screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) using ultrasound in men reduces aneurysm-related mortality. Ambulatory screening and surveillance procedures facilitated by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) may improve adherence to screening programs. This proof-of-concept study evaluated whether infrarenal aortic diameter (IAD) can be accurately and interchangeably measured using handheld
Coffee is epidemiologically linked to health benefits and risks. Coffee is thought to be a diuretic. However, it can still contribute to daily fluid intake. Vasopressin is the most important physiological regulator of body fluid balance and diuresis. This study aimed to map the effects of coffee intake on vasopressin concentration. In the population-based cross-sectional Malmö Offspring Study (n =
Background and Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are critical for preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). This study aims to identify cross-continental differences in utilization of primary prevention ICDs and survival free from sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ARVC. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of AR
Background This study aimed to describe the incidence rate, patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of adults hospitalized with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods This retrospective cohort study included adults diagnosed with M pneumoniae pneumonia and admitted to emergency care hospitals in Stockholm County, Sweden, from 2013 to 2017. Patients were identified through positive M pn
Background: Low adherence to lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with increased risk of recurrent cardiovascular events and death. However, little is known about long-term adherence patterns following treatment interruptions. The aim of this study was to describe adherence trajectories in MI patients following a LLT treatment gap, and model the impact of dif
Background Endoscopic papillectomy is a standard treatment for ampullary lesions, which are typically small and confined to the papillary mound. Laterally spreading lesions (LSLs) of the papilla of Vater are a rare ampullary lesion subtype involving extensive duodenal mucosa. Data on endoscopic papillectomy outcomes for LSLs are limited. This study compared endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary LS
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
Background: Self-rated health (SRH) is an international measure and indicator of mortality and morbidity that can be used as a mortality predictor in adulthood. This study aimed to examine the status of SRH among adults in Qazvin Province and its relationship with physical activity levels and demographic factors in primary care centers. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. We included data fr
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
