Analysis of atrial rhythm is important in the treatment and management of patients with atrial fibrillation. Several algorithms exist for extracting the atrial signal from the electrocardiogram (ECG) in atrial fibrillation, but there are few reports on how well these techniques are able to recover the atrial signal. We assessed and compared three algorithms for extracting the atria] signal from th
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Orlistat, a lipase inhibitor, strongly inhibits the activities of all gastric/pancreatic lipases except pancreatic phospholipase A(2)in vitro. In clinical use, for obesity treatment, it induces a variable degree of weight loss and steatorrhoéa. The aim of this study was to examine the degree of in vivo inhibition of individual gastric/pancreatic lipases by Orlistat in man, whe
The human platelet cilostamide- and cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) was rapidly purified approximately 19,000-fold to apparent homogeneity using single step affinity chromatography on the isothiocyanate derivative of cilostamide coupled to aminoethyl agarose. Within 24 h, 30 micrograms of enzyme protein was obtained from 20 ml of packed platelets. Vmax for cAMP and cGMP was 6.1 and
Thesis purpose: to develop theory that can explain the contradictions that we see in contemporary society in the choice of cooking salt. Salt consumption can cause severe health problems. Consumers in the middle and upper classes are health aware, but seem to have other motivations for their choice in cooking salt. As appears in the hype that we see around cooking salt and the increased specialisa
Popular science summary: Transcriptional regulation of HIF-2α in neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood. The presence of hypoxia -regions of low levels of oxygen- causes a more immature tumor phenotype that is related to a more aggressive form of this cancer. Hypoxia is mainly directed by Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α. High levels of HIF-2α expre
Background: Chronic postoperative pain after inguinal hernia surgery can affect sexual function. A new short form questionnaire for inguinal hernia pain related sexual dysfunction (SexIHQ) was introduced and applied to a register based cohort of total extra-peritoneal hernioplasty (TEP) operated patients. Methods: Sexually active men, 30–60 years old, recorded in the Swedish Hernia Register for a
Aims: To investigate associations between self-injury and involvement in cyberbullying as a bully, victim or bully-victim among mentally distressed adolescents. Methods: Data from the public health survey of children and adolescents in Scania, Sweden 2016 were used. A questionnaire was answered anonymously in school by 9143 students in 9th grade compulsory school (response rate 77%) and 7949 stude
The aim of this paper is to study the extent to which non-Annex I countries are implementing or exploring select actions that support both climate change mitigation and sustainable development objectives in the energy sector. The research is based on a survey of the national communications of 100 non-Annex I Parties to the UNFCCC. Although national communications are intended to provide informatio
Background: Guidelines recommend systemic thrombolysis (ST) as first-line reperfusion therapy for highrisk pulmonary embolism (PE), however, clinical concerns regarding bleeding risk frequently limit its use in clinical practice. Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) should be considered when ST is contraindicated or has failed but is increasingly used outside these recommendations despite limited guide
Objective: The aim of this study is to describe how the use of diagnostic imagingfor prostate cancer (PCa) has evolved over time and to determine whether thereare any differences in access to diagnostic imaging, type of cancers detected, andmortality based on the education level of patients.Methods: 11,063 men were recruited between 1991 and 1996 and thenprospectively followed until 2020. All new
BACKGROUND: GP recruitment and retention difficulties challenge the traditional general practice model. Task-shifting and relieving GPs from financial risk have been suggested to make primary care more attractive. In Sweden's multiprofessional team-based primary care system, GPs usually work as salaried employees and there is extensive task-shifting. Salaried employment facilitates mobility, poten
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the incidence and clinical features of Streptococcus dysgalactiae peripartum infections (SDPI), and to investigate the distribution of emm-types in relation to disease severity and the genetic relatedness of isolates from hospital clusters. Materials and methods: Patients with growth of S. dysgalactiae in a genital or wound culture, collected between January 2014 a
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) occurs in about 20 % of patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites and is characterized by intensive renal vasoconstriction, low glomerular filtration rate but preserved tubular function and normal renal histology. The potential of terlipressin and albumin to reverse HRS after a time period of 14 days has already been shown. However, intravenous albumi
Studies on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) emphasize that patients with progression of disease (POD) ≤24 months have inferior prognosis compared to patients with later POD. This population-based study assessed the impact of POD on overall survival (OS) by timing of progression and first-line treatment. A total of 1186 MCL patients diagnosed 2006–2018 were identified in the Swedish lymphoma register. PO
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has many known dysregulated inflammatory proteins. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) is a protease that sheds several proteins involved in COPD pathogenesis. The aim was to investigate ADAM17, its phosphorylated form (pADAM17) and its substrates in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and blood from COPD and control subjects. METHODS:
Background and purpose: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumour in children. Radiotherapy is commonly part of the multimodal treatment for high-risk patients. The aim of this study is to analyse doses to organs at risk (OAR) in comparative proton and photon treatment plans for children treated for neuroblastoma and report side effects. Patient/material and methods: All children
Aims To explore the prevalence and incidence of paediatric implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients in Sweden and identify risk factors associated with appropriate shocks and adverse events. Methods and results We performed a nationwide, retrospective cohort study of ICD use in paediatric patients (<19 years) between 1995 and 2017; 120 patients underwent ICD implantation at median age
Background: Bile leakage is a severe complication after cholecystectomy and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of bile leakage post-cholecystectomy and to identify potential risk factors and their association with changes in the incidence of bile leakage over time. Methods: Demographic and perioperative data of all p
Studying the full universe of nearly 390,000 French patents filed between 1791 and 1900, I show that the nineteenth-century gender patenting gap arose less at the patent office than through unequal access to practical knowledge, collaborators, and time across the life course. I identify 4,165 women inventors using gender-specific honorifics, classify patents with machine learning, reconstruct the
