Precision medicine is part of the logical evolution of contemporary evidence-based medicine that seeks to reduce errors and optimize outcomes when making medical decisions and health recommendations. Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, many of whom will develop life-threatening complications and die prematurely. Precision medicine can potentially address this enormous proble
BACKGROUND: This paper investigates the impact of a non-mandatory and age-specific social distancing recommendation on isolation behaviors and disease outcomes in Sweden during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (March to July, 2020). The policy stated that people aged 70 years or older should avoid crowded places and contact with people outside the household.METHODS: We used a regression dis
Objective: To identify and quantify potential risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) following traumatic knee injury. Design: Systematic review and meta-analyses that estimated the odds of OA for individual risk factors assessed in more than four studies using random-effects models. Remaining risk factors underwent semiquantitative synthesis. The modified GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment
The accumulation of senescent cells drives inflammaging and increases morbidity of chronic inflammatory lung diseases. Immune responses are built upon dynamic changes in cell metabolism that supply energy and substrates for cell proliferation, differentiation, and activation. Metabolic changes imposed by environmental stress and inflammation on immune cells and tissue microenvironment are thus chi
This study provides information about the concentration of Tungsten (W), Hafnium (Hf) and Tantal (Ta) in the ESS soil and recommendations on the most appropriate sample preparation and measurement technique to assess contamination by these elements. The current levels of W, Hf and Ta measured in this study are in agreement with the estimated values from previous geological surveys. ICP MS showed l
In recent years, researchers worldwide have become increasingly interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in the multilingual classroom. The paper aims to try to understand when and why teachers in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools code-switch in their classrooms. It analyses the methods and reasons for teachers’ code-switching in the SFI classroom. A case study was conducted by means of a
The axiom of transitivity states that if a person prefers option A to B and B to C, he must also prefer A to C. This simple axiom is often seen as one of the pillars of rational choice, but whether it should be has created a divide in the research community. Some state that there cannot be rational choice or utility without transitivity and that agents who present intransitive preferences allow th
Immaterialrätter är i dag viktiga handelsvaror på den internationella marknaden. Därför är gränsöverskridande immaterialrättsliga avtal vanligt förekommande. Det väcker frågor om vilken lag som ska tillämpas på dessa avtal. Situationen kompliceras av att immaterialrättsliga avtal är variationsrika och komplexa. I EU och Schweiz har lagstiftarna valt olika lösningar på frågan om tillämplig lag på iToday, intellectual property rights are important commodities on the international market. Hence, cross-border intellectual property agreements are very common. This raises questions about what law to apply to these contracts. The situation is complicated by the fact that intellectual property agreements are diverse and complex. In the EU and in Switzerland, the legislators have chosen different s
The aim of this study was to establish creatinine growth curves separately for males and females that can be used to adjust childhood levels of serum creatinine to corresponding adult levels. Linear regression with fractional polynomials of age as independent variable was used to construct creatinine growth curves for a reference cohort (n = 83,157 samples from Belgium and Sweden, age 2–40 years).
The uniqueness of the Stockholm test-bed is based on its close collaboration with a citizen initiative called Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0 around the mission to create a climate-neutral city district by 2027. The founder of Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0 is ElectriCITY, a (civic society NGO and) membership association which operates a number of energy initiatives in the area since 2012, primarily by targeting the n
BACKGROUND: Early-life exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may impact the developing lungs and immune system and increase the risk of childhood asthma, but no studies have been conducted in a high-exposed population. The objective of this study was to estimate associations between prenatal PFAS exposure and childhood incidence of asthma and wheeze in Blekinge County, Sweden, whe
Background: Obstetrical anal sphincter injuries are complications of vaginal birth that have the potential to cause substantial maternal morbidity. Predicting these injuries might help to improve maternal care as well as antenatal counseling and patient education. Previous attempts to create prediction models have in many cases involved variables only known postpartum, which limits their use in an
ABSTRACT Aim To examine how butterfly population trends respond to climate change and urbanisation at a continental scale, and whether responses differ between urban and rural environments. Location 869 sites across 12 European countries, spanning six bioclimatic zones. Time Period 1976?2021. Major Taxa Studied Butterflies (Lepidoptera). Methods We analysed long-term monitoring data from >?8400 po
Time-domain induced polarization (TDIP) data carry spectral information that can be used for petrophysical interpretation. At the same time, TDIP data can be collected in the field more efficiently than frequency-domain induced polarization (FDIP) data, thanks to the use of square-wave signals. However, TDIP field data are prone to noise, particularly strong near industrial installations and urban
