For model-based quantitative reconstructions of past vegetation cover on the scale of landscapes, pollen productivity estimates (PPEs) are key input parameters. In this study, we employed a random sampling strategy to collect moss polsters at 20 sites in Changbai Mountain, northeastern China. A detailed vegetation survey within 1000-m radius around each sampling point was carried out and digitized

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse the occurrence of neonatal early onset group B streptococcal (EOGBS) disease relative to maternal body mass index (BMI). Method: A cohort of Swedish parturients with an early pregnancy BMI registered was investigated. Data were retrieved from population-based registers during 1997-2001, (n = 344 127, elective caesarean section excluded). Medical reco

Objectives: This study aims to assess patient outcomes and aortic remodelling following coverage of the proximal entry tear with an endograft in complicated acute type B aortic dissections (caTBADs). Material and methods: All patients with caTBAD treated with a thoracic endograft in three high-volume vascular centres were retrospectively studied. Inclusion criteria were branch-vessel malperfusion,

Background: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a potentially disabling skeletal complication of cancer treatment. Although symptomatic osteonecrosis (sON) is well-known in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with an incidence around 6%, studies on sON in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of sON in children treated for HL. P

BACKGROUND: The implementation of COVID-19 vaccination among older persons at nursing homes has lowered the infection-associated mortality considerably, but emerging virus variants and decline in vaccine-induced immunity over time necessitate examination of future booster dosing strategies. The overall aim of this study was to assess vaccine protection against COVID-19 mortality in relation to tim

Importance: Emerging evidence suggests that cholesterol plays a role in breast cancer (BC) metabolism, raising the possibility that cholesterol-lowering medications, such as statins, may improve BC prognosis. Objective: To evaluate the association between postdiagnosis statin initiation and BC mortality using an emulated target trial approach. Design, Setting, and Participants: This observational

A foreign individual who is considered an expert, researcher or otherwise an important person (nyckelperson) may currently be covered by what is commonly referred to as the expert tax rules (expertskattereglerna). Individuals who receive remuneration above a certain level are also subject to these rules. Under these rules, certain benefits qualify as tax-free as well as a part of the renumeration

Background: This study aimed to assess chlamydia diagnostics in different clinic types, including internet-based self-sampling (IBSS). Furthermore, we investigated the incidence of chlamydia-associated complications. Methods: Data on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) testing were retrieved from six healthcare regions in the years 2016–2023 across different categories of testing facilities. National data

BackgroundThe clinical standard practice of [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 therapy is a single injection per treatment cycle, with 6 weeks between cycles. While clinical schedules currently utilize single-bolus cycles, splitting a treatment cycle into multiple smaller injections has demonstrated benefits in other radionuclide therapies, preclinically and in clinical studies.

PurposeTürkiye ranks among the highest in antibiotic consumption within OECD countries and faces growing challenges from multidrug-resistant uropathogens. Nationwide, resistance-guided treatment data remain scarce. The main objective of this work is to provide a comprehensive nationwide data on antibiotic resistance patterns among uropathogens to guide treatment options in urinary tract infections

In the year of 2004, a tsunami struck the coast of Thailand. Around 30 000 Swedish tourist was present, and over 500 was killed. The Swedish government acted slowly in helping its citizens, which created a political crisis in Sweden when the support for the government declined. After the crisis management of the tsunami was over, the government started to reform Sweden’s national security. The mai

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect on pregnancy outcome of integrating a comprehensive management plan for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) into the World Health Organization universal maternal care infrastructure. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A comprehensive preconception-to-pregnancy management plan for women with T1D was implemented in 11 centers from 8 Chinese cities from 2015 to 2017. Se

As today’s market forces the implementation of quality-of-service-enabled services spanned over multiple administrative domains, isolated and locally optimized interdomain routing decisions become increasingly inadequate. Instead, coordinated routing models are required together with joint optimization goals. Available papers and standardization documents focus on the description of technical mean

Purpose: To describe a new time-saving threshold visual field–testing strategy—Swedish Interactive Thresholding Algorithm (SITA) Faster, which is intended to replace SITA Fast—and to report on a clinical evaluation of this new strategy. Design: Description and validity analysis for modifications applied to SITA Fast. Methods: Five centers tested 1 eye of each of 126 glaucoma and glaucoma suspect p

Early results of mitral valve replacement were reviewed in 336 unselected patients, 261 without and 75 with concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (MVR and MVR + CABG groups). Early (less than 30 days) mortality was 7% in the MVR and 16% in the MVR + CABG group, with cardiac failure as the dominant cause. In multivariate analysis, the variables most strongly related to early mortality were co

Purpose: The present study was performed as part of an epidemiological study, the Inter99 Eye Study. The aim of the study was to describe refractive errors and visual acuity (VA) in a suburban Danish population.Methods: The Inter99 Eye Study comprised 970 subjects aged 30–60 years and included a random control group as well as groups at high risk for ischaemic heart disease and diabetes mellitus.
