Subjective sleep reports are widely used research tools in epidemiology. Whether sleep reports can differ between seasons is less clear. Using multivariable binary or multinomial logistic regression analyses, in the present Swedish cross-sectional two-centre cohort study (N = 19,254; mean age 61 years), we found that participants surveyed during the summer (June–August) were more likely to report

Temporally resolved assessment of residential exposure to radon is essential for investigating radon's acute health effects. Recent studies have used large numbers of short-term radon measurements to model the spatiotemporal variations in radon concentrations. However, most short-term radon measurements in the northeastern and midwestern United States were conducted in the basements, which were le

Changes in the extracellular matrix of pulmonary arteries (PAs) are a key aspect of vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Yet, our understanding of the alterations affecting the proteoglycan (PG) family remains limited. We sought to investigate the expression and spatial distribution of major vascular PGs in PAs from healthy individuals and various PH groups (chronic obstructive pulm

Previous studies have shown that police assaults reduce trust in the police among the group affected by the incidents. As the phenomenon of plural policing emerges and the actors in policing become intertwined, blurring the boundaries between them, analysis of the impact of security guards’ actions becomes warranted. This paper investigates the impact of two security guard incidents on trust in th

1. 1. Endogenous phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitors in human plasma and in plasma from the hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) were demonstrated. 2. 2. The PLA2 activity increased 45-fold in human plasma when a PLA2 binding factor was removed. Furthermore, two peaks of PLA2 inhibitory activity were found after DEAE-chromatography. 3. 3. High levels of PLA2 inhibitory activity was found in plasma from t

Purpose: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the current gold standard assay that provides information related to risk stratification and therapeutic selection for individuals with plasma cell neoplasms. The differential hybridization of FISH probe sets in association with individuals’ genetic ancestry has not been previously reported. Methods: This retrospective study included 1224 bone

It is an established notion that the silent movies were more international in their character than sound films. The arrival of talkies set up language barriers that often turned into national boundaries for smaller countries like Sweden. However, before this happened the international interaction between mainly European countries and America was vivid, exchanging directors, actors, and importing a

In the past two decades, the eddy covariance technique has been used for an increasing number of methane flux studies at an ecosystem scale. Previously, most of these studies used a closed path setup with a tunable diode laser spectrometer (TDL). Although this method worked well, the TDL has to be calibrated regularly and cooled with liquid nitrogen or a cryogenic system, which limits its use in r

Our aim was to study the potential impact of neighbourhood socio-economic status (SES) on all-cause mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated in primary care.

It has been argued that the study of child L2 development can inform different maturational accounts of language acquisition. One such specific proposal was put forward by Meisel (2008) arguing for a cut-off point for (2)L1 type of development at 3-4 years. The paper analyses the longitudinal development of object clitics in child L2 French (L1 Swedish) and compares the developmental sequence in c

Obesity is linked to various diseases, including insulin resistance, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. The idea of inducing white adipose tissue (WAT) to assume characteristics of brown adipose tissue (BAT), and thus gearing it to fat-burning instead of storage, is receiving serious consideration as potential treatment for obesity and related disorders. Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) links ins

Hypertension and its consequences on cognition was analyzed using data from the study "Men born in 1914" in Malmo, Sweden, a prospective cohort study of cardiovascular disease. The baseline examinations took place in 1982/83 where 500 men participated in extensive medical and social examinations. A neuropsychological investigation was completed including five standardized cognitive tests. The spec
