Abstract The present thesis explored the epidemiology of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), i.e., factors associated to incidence and prognosis. In the population of Malmö (Malmö 1990 cohort), it was shown that immigrants from China/Vietnam and the Former Soviet Union had higher risk of ICH than citizens born in Sweden. Although hypertension is a well-known risk factor for stroke, the relation
Diabetic foot ulcer is an important entity which in many cases is the first serious complication in diabetes. Although a plantar forefoot location is common, there are few studies on larger cohorts and in such studies there is often a combination of various types of ulcer and ulcer locations. The purpose of this study is to discern the outcome of plantar forefoot ulcers and their specific characte
Background and Purpose - The causes of death of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) have not been systematically addressed in previous studies. We aimed to analyze the causes and predictors of death during the acute phase of CVT in the International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis (ISCVT) to identify preventable or treatable causes. Methods - ISCVT is a multinational,
The aim of the present study was to find clinical parameters affecting incidence and progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. A prospective study for 10 years was performed in 385 type 2 diabetic patients (diabetes diagnosis > or =30 years) attending a hospital-based outpatient clinic. Medical risk indicators like diabetes duration, HbA(1c), and blood pressure were related to the de
Objectives. To study mortality rates among men and women with atrial fibrillation (AF) and concomitant chronic heart failure (CHF) prescribed different classes of cardiovascular drugs in primary health care. Design. A cohort of men (n = 1159) and women (n = 1155) aged 45 years or above and diagnosed with both AF and CHF from patient records from 75 primary care centers in Sweden were included in t
Aims: The Diabetes Incidence in Kronoberg (DIK) study of adult-onset diabetes used serological classification. Standard Mortality Rates (SMR) and Years of Life Lost (YLL) 15 years after adult-onset (18–100 years) of diabetes were compared to the population of Kronoberg. Methods: Of 1609/1660 (97%) patients, 112 (7%) had type 1 (T1D) (GADA+ and/or ICA+, and/or C-peptide < 0.25 nmol/l), and 1497 (93
Background: In patients who recover consciousness after cardiac arrest (CA), a subsequent death from non-neurological causes may confound the assessment of long-term neurological outcome. We investigated the prevalence and causes of death after awakening (DAA) in a multicenter cohort of CA patients. Methods: Observational multicenter cohort study on patients resuscitated from CA in eight European
BACKGROUND Living anonymous donation (LAD) of kidneys was introduced in Sweden in 2004. This study reports on outcomes of Swedish LAD experiences from 2004 to 2016, focusing on donors' motives, the care they received, psychosocial aspects, and medical status at follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS Donor data were collected through a physician interview, medical check-up, review of medical charts, the H
Background: Adult children are often key carers of frail older parents providing care for a long period of time in different care contexts. However, research concerning adult children’s caregiving experiences, from providing home-based care to facing the death of a parent in a nursing home is sparse. Thus, the aim was to explore the transition from living at home to moving into and living in a nur
Background: Regenerex® is a porous titanium construct with a 3D interconnecting pore structure and biomechanical characteristics close to that of normal trabecular bone. This study aimed to compare the Regenerex (VR) to the non-interconnecting pore structure Porous Plasma Spray (VP) on tibial implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at 5 years. Methods: We enrolled and randomized 61 patients (me
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Prospective and population-based studies on the incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) are lacking. Alcohol consumption has increased considerably in Iceland during the last decade. We aimed to determine the incidence, etiology, severity, and complications of AP and compare the results with a previous study on AP in Iceland.METHODS: A prospective population-based study of patien
Tau positron emission tomography ligands provide the novel possibility to image tau pathology in vivo. However, little is known about how in vivo brain uptake of tau positron emission tomography ligands relates to tau aggregates observed post-mortem. We performed tau positron emission tomography imaging with 18F-AV-1451 in three patients harbouring a p.R406W mutation in the MAPT gene, encoding tau
Although the clinical manifestations of type 2 diabetic nephropathy and decline in kidney function are similar to those in type 1, the clinical course and the renal structural changes are more heterogeneous in type 2 diabetic patients. Previous studies have shown that an increased urine IgM excretion in patients with type 1 diabetic nephropathy was associated with poor outcome. In the present foll
Background and Aims: Although endovascular stent treatment is increasingly used in infrain-guinal atherosclerotic occlusive disease, outcome with focus on gender differences has not been reported in detail. Material and Methods: One hundred and twelve consecutive patients (67 [60%]) women, un-dergoing endovascular nitinol stent treatment of atherosclerotic lesions in the femoropopliteal segment
OBJECTIVE: To analyse the outcome of minor amputations (through, or distal to, the ankle joint) in patients with diabetes. METHOD: All diabetic patients in a defined population undergoing one or more minor amputation between 1982 and 2006 were investigated according to a standardised protocol and were followed until final outcome (healing or death). A total of 410 consecutive amputations in 309 p
1997 beslutade Sveriges riksdag att lägga den så kallade ”Nollvisionen” till grund för trafiksäkerhetsarbetet i landet. Nollvisionen innebär att det skall bli säkrare för alla inblandade att vistas ute i trafiken. Man har satt upp ett mål att antalet trafikolyckor som resulterar i dödsfall och skador för livet skall minimeras. Denna målsättning vill man uppnå genom att bland annat: förbättra vägarIn the year 1997, the policy called Vision Zero (in Swedish: Nollvisionen) was introduced in Sweden. The guidelines within the policy are about making traffic and transport better as well as safer for all of those involved. This means that a goal has been set to decrease the number of serious traffic accidents where the victims are severely injured or killed. This goal is being carried out, among

key research area at LUCSUS Agriculture provides most of the food we eat and the fibers we wear while at the same time contributing up to 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions and consuming around 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. Navigating this tension between the societal necessity of agriculture and its environmental impacts is therefore at the heart of sustainable development. Within the
