Background: Obesity is a chronic disease with increasing prevalence. We aimed to explore primary care physicians’ knowledge and attitudes about obesity and how knowledge and attitudes are associated with confidence and adherence to obesity guidelines and barriers to obesity treatment. Methods: A questionnaire survey was sent by e-mail to 1642 primary care physicians in four regions in Sweden. The

Artikeln behandlar den moderna receptionen av myten om Persefones bortförande. Myten har fått ett uppsving inom den erotiska litteraturen där narrativet kan mixtras med för författarens ändamål. Bortförandet som med moderna mått mätt skulle ses som en våldshandling kan romantiseras eller framhävas, för att göra Hades mer sympatisk eller för att sexualisera våldsdådet. Myten har kommit långt från s

Background: Malignant melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers are among the fastest increasing malignancies in many countries. With the help of new tools, such as teledermoscopy referrals between primary health care and dermatology clinics, the management of these patients could be made more efficient. Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic agreement and interobserver concordance achieved when asses

Cardiometabolic disease is a major threat to global health. Precision medicine has great potential to help to reduce the burden of this common and complex disease cluster, and to enhance contemporary evidence-based medicine. Its key pillars are diagnostics; prediction (of the primary disease); prevention (of the primary disease); prognosis (prediction of complications of the primary disease); trea

Overall dietary patterns have been associated with health and longevity. We used principal component (PC) and cluster analyses to identify the prevailing dietary patterns of 99 744 participants, aged 60 years or older, living in nine European countries and participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC-Elderly cohort) and to examine their socio-demographic

Using harmonic maps we provide an approach towards obtaining explicit solutions to the incompressible two-dimensional Euler equations. More precisely, the problem of finding all solutions which in Lagrangian variables (describing the particle paths of the flow) present a labelling by harmonic functions is reduced to solving an explicit nonlinear differential system in C-n with n = 3 or n = 4. Whil

This paper develops a new approach in the analysis of the Camassa-Holm equation. By introducing a new set of independent and dependent variables, the equation is transformed into a semilinear system, whose solutions are obtained as fixed points of a contractive transformation. These new variables resolve all singularities due to possible wave breaking. Returning to the original variables, we obtai

To investigate whether preoperative retinal function measured by full-field ERG and multifocal ERG is correlated to postoperative visual acuity after macular hole surgery.

This study investigates the association between Ronald Inglehart's materialist/postmaterialist index, a psychological aspect of the material pathway to inequalities in health, and health locus of control and psychological health. The data used is from the 2008 public health survey in Skane, a cross-sectional postal questionnaire study with 28,198 respondents (response rate 54%), conducted in south

We construct three-dimensional families of small-amplitude gravity-driven rotational steady water waves of finite depth. The solutions contain counter-currents and multiple crests in each minimal period. Each such wave is, generically, a combination of three different Fourier modes, giving rise to a rich and complex variety of wave patterns. The bifurcation argument is based on a blow-up technique

Purpose. To investigate the prognostic value of optic nerve head swelling (ONHS) in central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and compare it to other prognostic factors. Methods. Seventy-four patients with CRVO were studied retrospectively. The parameters analysed were the initial presence of ONHS, the fluorescein angiographic appearance, the implicit time in the 30-Hz flicker ERG and the initial visu
