Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) ≥ 15 h/day improves survival in hypoxemic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). LTOT 24 h/day is often recommended but may pose an unnecessary burden with no clear survival benefit compared with LTOT 15 h/day. The aim was to test the hypothesis that LTOT 24 h/day decreases all-cause, respiratory, and cardiovascular mortality compared to LTOT 15 h/day in hypo
Understanding leukemia heterogeneity is critical for the development of curative treatments as the failure to eliminate therapy-persistent leukemic stem cells (LSCs) may result in disease relapse. Here we have combined high-throughput immunophenotypic screens with large-scale single-cell gene expression analysis to define the heterogeneity within the LSC-population in chronic phase chronic myeloid
Background: Life expectancy is increasing in Europe, yet a substantial proportion of adults still die prematurely before the age of 70 years. We sought to estimate the joint and relative contributions of tobacco smoking, hypertension, obesity, physical inactivity, alcohol and poor diet towards risk of premature death. Methods: We analysed data from 264,906 European adults from the EPIC prospective
Statin dosage in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and concomitant kidney dysfunction is a clinical dilemma. We studied discontinuation during the first year after an AMI and long-term outcome in patients receiving high versus low-moderate intensity statin treatment, in relation to kidney function. For the intention-to-treat analysis (ITT-A), we included all patients admitted to Swed
CONTEXT: Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased mortality in patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AI), but little is known regarding the potential risk associated with non-functional adrenal adenomas (NFAA), which constitute the majority of AI.OBJECTIVE: Compare mortality risk in patients with NFAA, and different levels of MACS, to matched controls.METHOD: This was
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står inför en stor förändringsprocess för att kunna minska sin miljö- och klimatpåverkan. Ur ett europeiskt perspektiv står byggsektorn idag för hälften av alla råvaror som utvinns, hälften av den totala energianvändningen, en tredjedel av all vattenanvändning och en tredjedel av allt avfall som genereras. Genom att skapa en mer cirkulär byggbransch minskar klimatutsläp
Abstract. Objectives. To ascertain whether a relationship exists between the PiZ alpha1‐antitrypsin (α1AT) variant and antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCA)‐positive vasculitis in a large group of Swedish patients, and whether analysis for the presence of the PiZ variant might be useful for diagnostic or prognostic purposes. Design. Retrospective cross‐sectional study. Setting. The Department
We describe the clinical presentation and outcome in a series of eight patients with systemic necrotizing vasculitis and severe alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency followed up at three Swedish hospitals during 1968-92. We also review six other cases reported in the literature during the same period. Diagnosis of severe AAT deficiency was based on the presence of the PiZZ phenotype, or low plasma t
Stress factors such as climate change and drought may switch the role of temperate peatlands from carbon dioxide (CO2) sinks to sources, leading to positive feedback to global climate change. Water level management has been regarded as an important climate change mitigation strategy as it can sustain the natural net CO2 sink function of a peatland. Little is known about how resilient peatlands are
Abstract OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the influence of age on survival and risk of subsequent fracture in men with hip fracture, applying a residual lifetime perspective. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study with 22-year follow-up. SETTING: Skåne University Hospital, Malmö, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS: Men aged 60 and older (N=226) with an index hip fracture during 1984/85. MEASUREMENTS: Twenty-two-year sur
PURPOSE: This study was designed to assess aorto-iliac morphological characteristics in relation to reintervention and all-cause long-term mortality in patients undergoing standard EVAR for infrarenal AAA. METHODS: Patients treated with EVAR (Zenith(®) Stentgrafts, Cook) between May 1998 and February 2006 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database where comorbidities and preoperative
We studied the nature of the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD) and the risk of death among elderly men. BMD was associated with mortality risk and was independent of adjustments for other co-morbidities. A piecewise linear function described the relationship more accurately than assuming the same gradient of risk over the whole range of BMD (p = 0.020). Low BMD was associated with a
BACKGROUND: Children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer (referred to as CAYAs) are at risk of long-term health complications, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being a major concern. In addition, sociodemographic characteristics and traditional cardiovascular risk factors may also contribute to disparities in outcomes compared with those of the general population. The aim of this study was
Organiserad brottslighet är ett väldigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras såväl i Sverige som internationellt. Diskussionerna rör bl.a. den organiserade brottslighetens struktur, hur utbredd den är, dess medlemmar, dess kriminalitet och det hot den innebär mot samhället. Många har starka åsikter gällande organiserad brottslighet och det talas om att krafttag mot den behöver tas och olika åtgärdsprogramOrganised crime is a well-discussed subject matter. There are questions regarding its structure, how widespread it is, the individuals involved with it, its crimes and the potential threat to our society it amounts to. These questions are talked about in many different arenas, in Sweden as well as internationally, and the opinions regarding organised crime are many and strong. The fight against it
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic infection (OI) and cause of death in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), even in settings with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study aims to determine factors associated with adverse outcome of TB treatment in PLHIV. Materials and Method: The study was retrospective cohort study which includes 958 individuals aged ≥15 y

Objective: Although rare, malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) account for 70 % of ovarian malignancies in women younger than 30 years. Given the rarity of MOGCTs and the limited population-based data, this study aims to examine national treatment patterns and survival in women with MOGCTs, with a focus on fertility-sparing surgery. Methods: This nationwide population-based study included a
