Purpose: Incisional hernia repair (IHR) with a mesh is necessary to achieve low recurrence rates and pain relief. In the short term, quality of life (QoL) is restored by IHR. Two centers pioneered the IHR in Sweden with the highly standardized Rives–Stoppa technique using a retromuscular mesh. We assessed long-term follow-up of recurrence rate and QoL. Methods: Medical records were searched for IH
Purpose: Breast cancer affects both genders, but is understudied in men. Although still rare, male breast cancer (MBC) is being diagnosed more frequently. Treatments are wholly informed by clinical studies conducted in women, based on assumptions that underlying biology is similar. Experimental Design: A transcriptomic investigation of male and female breast cancer was performed, confirming transc
Background: Angioedema is a rare and serious adverse drug reaction (ADR) to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor treatment. Dry cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors and has been identified as a possible risk factor for angioedema. Objective: We compared characteristics between patients with ACE inhibitor–induced angioedema and cough with the aim of identifying risk factors that
AimsInfection is a serious complication of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) therapy. An antibiotic-eluting absorbable envelope has been developed to reduce the infection rate, but studies investigating the efficacy and a reasonable number needed to treat in high-risk populations for infections are limited.Methods and resultsOne hundred and forty-four patients undergoing CIED implantati
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the time at which physeal arrest is achieved after percutaneous physiodesis, and whether immediate postoperative growth rate affects the time to reach physeal arrest. Methods: Radiostereometric analysis, with implantation of tantalum balls as radiographic markers on each side of the physes, was used to measure residual longitudinal growth in 21 child
INTRODUCTION: The mainstay of management for locally advanced rectal cancer is chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection. Following chemoradiotherapy, a complete response may be detected clinically and radiologically (cCR) prior to surgery or pathologically after surgery (pCR). We aim to report the overall complete pathological response (pCR) rate and the reliability of detecting a cCR by c
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with colonization by bacterial pathogens and repeated airway infections, leading to exacerbations and impaired lung function. The highly glycosylated mucins in the mucus lining the airways are an important part of the host defense against pathogens. However, mucus accumulation can contribute to COPD pathology. Here, we examined whether inf
The mechanism(s) behind the larger relative increase of Plasma beta 2 microglobulin (P-beta 2m) than that of Plasma albumin (P-alb) during Cuprophan hemodialysis is disputed. To elucidate this phenomenon P-alb, P-beta 2m (MW 11,800) and Plasma cystatin (P-cC; MW 13,000) an inhibitor of cystein proteinases, were determined before and after a Cuprophan or polysulphone hemodialysis (4-7 hr, QB 200 ml
Purpose: To optimize a whole-brain magnetization transfer saturation (MTsat) protocolat 7T, focusing on maximizing obtainable MTsat under the constraints of specificabsorption rate (SAR) and transmit field inhomogeneity, while avoiding bias and keeping scan time short.Theory and Methods: MTsat is a semi-quantitative metric, obtained by spoiled gradient-echo MRI in the imaging steady-state.

Internetanvändning och sociala medier har under de senaste åren exploderat, var på reklamvärlden har stått inför en förändring. Sociala medier har blivit en plats full av tips och inspiration, men också en arbetsplats för influerare som gör reklam för diverse produkter och tjänster. Det är av betydelse att en konsument kan se skillnaden mellan ett tips och reklam för att undvika att känna sig luraInternet usage and social media have exploded in recent years, which has brought about a change to advertising. Social media has become a place full of recommendations and inspiration, but also a workplace for influencers who promote various products and services. Consumers are having a hard time to distinguish between a tip and an advertisement which can lead to a feeling of being deceived. This
Syftet med studien var att undersöka förhållandet mellan självförverkligande, socialt jämförande och motivation. För socialt jämförande mättes både en generell benägenhet och benägenhet att jämföra i olika riktningar (uppåt eller nedåt). Den operationella definitionen för motivation utgick ifrån de kausalitetsorienteringar som återfinns inom self-determination theory. Datainsamling skedde i form aThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self actualization, social comparison, including upward and downward comparison, and different types of motivation as defined by the proposed causality orientations within self determination theory. Data was acquired through a survey distribution. The sample consisted of a convenience sample (N=131). The results, from a correlat
Background and Aims: Population-based data on prescribed opioid use among adults with Crohn's disease (CD) remain limited. Methods: This nationwide register-based study included individuals ≥ 18 years with incident (2008–2019) or prevalent (2008–2021) CD and up to 10 individually matched reference individuals without inflammatory bowel disease. We categorised opioid dispensations as weak (e.g., tr
INTRODUCTION: The prophylactic regimen in children with severe haemophilia is suggested in various publications and guidelines. Few data exist on its implementation in clinical practice.AIM: To investigate the implementation of primary prophylaxis based on real-life data from PedNet during the last 20 years.METHODS: All children from the PedNet cohort (n = 1260) with severe haemophilia A (SHA) or
Uppsatsen undersöker frågan samebyars avtalsrätt. Frågan är intressant eftersom samebyar i viss mån kan jämföras med ekonomiska föreningar. Juridiska personer har vanligtvis avtalsfrihet, men samebyars möjligheter är begränsade. Enligt ren-näringslagen får samebyarna inte ingå avtal om upplåtelse, och det är endast rege-ringen som får förordna om ett upphörande av renskötselrätten. År 2020 medde-lThis essay examines the contractual capacity of Sámi villages. While these villages are, in legal terms, comparable to economic association and thus possess legal personality, their ability to enter into agreements is subject to legal constraints. Unlike typical legal entities Sámi villages are not free to contract as they wish. Under the Reindeer Husbandry Act, Sámi villages are prohibited from g
Population-specific thresholds have not been defined for the levels of adiposity and systemic biomarkers that predict chronic health risks in people with restricted growth conditions. Here, anthropometric measures of adiposity, basal metabolic requirements, and fasted blood samples were obtained from adults with restricted growth (age 41 ± 14 years, height 1.30 ± 0.10 m, body mass 60.5 ± 18.3 kg,
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and work productivity in axial SpA (axSpA) and non-axSpA patients with chronic back pain of <2 years. Methods: Baseline and 2-year data for patients included in the SPondyloArthritis Caught Early cohort were analysed. HRQoL was assessed by the physical (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) scores of the
