ObjectiveGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an established risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that is possible to prevent by systematic follow-up and preventive measures. The aim of this study was to examine whether women with previous GDM were offered follow-up in primary care, according to Swedish national guidelines.DesignRetrospective review of electronic medical re
Surtsey island was formed in a volcanic eruption south of Iceland in 1963 – 1967 and has since then been protected and monitored by scientists. It is the youngest island in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago. The archipelago is of volcanic origin, but the other islands are ca. 5 000 to 40 000 yrs old. The first two moss species were found on Surtsey as early as 1967 and several new bryophyte species w
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to negatively affect quality of life (QoL), yet very few studies have been done on QoL of patients with diabetes in the United Arab Emirates population. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of DM on health-related QoL (HRQoL) of patients with diabetes of Emirati nationality. Methods: Two hundred and forty Emirati patients with diabe
Iron enzymes play critical roles in biological oxidation reactions by utilizing highly reactive high-valent iron intermediates, such as FeIV=O, FeV(O)(OH), and FeIV=NR species, for catalytic reactions. These intermediates exhibit remarkable catalytic behavior with high reactivities and high regio- and stereospecificity in various biochemical reactions. Understanding these metal intermediates is cr
Background: Real-world data on long-term outcomes of vedolizumab (VDZ) are scarce. Objective: To assess long-term outcomes (up to 3 years) of VDZ in treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Design: A nationwide, prospective multicentre extension of a Swedish observational study on VDZ assessing Effectiveness And Healthcare resource utilization in patients with IBD (SVEAH). Methods: After re-cons
Background: Treatment guidelines recommend behaviour therapy (BT) for patients with Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD). However, BT is rarely accessible due to limited availability of trained therapists and long travel distances to specialist clinics. Internet-delivered BT has the potential of overcoming these barriers through remote delivery of treatment with minimal therapist
Complete resection is the treatment of choice for most pediatric brain tumors, but early postoperative MRI for detection of residual tumor may be misleading because of MRI signal changes caused by the operation. PET imaging with amino acid tracers in adults increases the diagnostic accuracy for brain tumors, but the literature in pediatric neurooncology is limited. A hybrid PET/MRI system is highl
Background Nurses constitute a central profession in the cardiac rehabilitation (CR) team delivering comprehensive CR to individuals with cardiovascular disease. We aimed to identify specific components reflecting the nurses' role in the CR team associated with attainment of risk factor targets post myocardial infarction. Methods Center-level data (n = 78) was used from the Perfect-CR study, in wh
Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re
Context. AU Mic is a very active M dwarf star with an edge-on debris disk and two known transiting sub-Neptunes with a possible third planetary companion. The two transiting planets exhibit significant transit-timing variations (TTVs) that are caused by the gravi tational interaction between the bodies in the system. Aims. Using photometrical observations taken with the CHaracterizing ExOPlanet Sa
Background: Cranial irradiation is a common therapy for the treatment of brain tumors, but unfortunately patients suffer from side effects, particularly cognitive impairment, caused by neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory mechanisms. Finding a therapeutic agent protecting hippocampal neurons would be beneficial. Fingolimod (FTY720), a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator approved for mult
Aims Endotypes integrate individual clinical and molecular data and can be used to formulate molecular subclassifications of diseases. We previously derived four endotypes of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in a large European cohort, c-IMT and c-IMT Progression as Predictors of Vascular Events in a High-Risk European Population (IMPROVE), identifying individuals with a specific cardiovascular
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
During an ethnographic fieldwork trip conducted in June 2025 in Brazil between in two cities 4000 kilometers apart, Rio de Janeiro, my hometown, and Manaus, capital of the state of Amazonas, I conducted interviews with the eldest generation of my aunts and uncles in order to continue the investigation I have been engaged in during my doctoral studies on ancestry, migration and the ever-present eff
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is commonly associated with white matter injury, leading to persistent symptoms and long-term disability. While advanced age is linked to worse outcome post-TBI, the influence of sex remains highly controversial. The present study aimed to identify age- and sex-dependent differences in white matter pathology during the chronic phase of TBI using the central (midline) f
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Allt fler rapporter har kommit under de senaste åren som visar på att våg- och stormklimatet har förvärrats sedan 1960-talet. Detta har oroat bland andra återförsäkringsbolag som har betalat ut allt mer pengar till stormrelaterade skador de senaste åren. Andra undersökningar har visat att det nuvarande storm- och vågklimatet inte är värre än det var i början av The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. Those that have been done are mostly global scale studies and centered on changes in storm activity during the winter season. I’m using data from a regiona
Abstract This paper discusses protectionism of intellectual property rights in general and the conflict between large pharmaceutical companies’ rights to patent and developing countries’ rights to cheap generic preparation in particular. The essay focuses above all on HIV/AIDS medicine. The description tries to give an image of the different interests that collide and why they collide. The differe
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) are the most promising strategy for reducing the carbon emissions of aviation in the near term, but their combustion behavior is not well understood compared to conventional fuels. This work investigates how different properties of SAF may lead to different emergent combustion behavior by targeting a small set of very distinct fuels. The investigation is carried ou
