Introduction: Primary human papilloma virus (HPV) screening to detect cervical cancer and dysplastic lesions was implemented in Region Skåne 2017 for women aged 30–70. The aim of this study was to characterize the screening history of women diagnosed with cervical cancer to evaluate the performance of the screening program, as well as to assess the cancer treatments given and shortcomings in the f

Purpose: Traumatic brain injury is the main reason for the emergency department visit of up to 3% of the patients and a major worldwide cause for morbidity and mortality. Current emergency management guidelines recommend close attention to patients taking oral anticoagulation but not patients on antiplatelet therapy. Recent studies have begun to challenge this. The aim of this study was to determi

Background: Women are disproportionately affected by migraine, representing up to 75% of all migraine cases. This discrepancy has been proposed to be influenced by differences in hormone levels between the sexes. One such hormone is progesterone. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) system is an important factor in migraine pathophysiology and could be influenced by circulating hormones. The pur

Abstract in FrenchLe populisme invoque l’autorité du peuple contre une élite. Souvent, cela implique un rejet de l’autorité des experts et de leurs critères de validité du discours. Cette tension apparaît dans les conflits autour des théories de la conspiration. Est suggéré que cette tension soit considérée comme un conflit entre deux interprétations de la réalité, de phénomènes particuliers ou dePopulism invokes the authority of the people against an élite. Often that entails a rejection of the authority of experts and their criteria for a valid discourse. This tension surfaces in conflicts around conspiracy theories and here is suggested that this tension is seen as a conflict between two interpretations of reality, of particular phenomena or history. The question is what role the philos

Adherence to antiretroviral therapy is a global problem among adolescents living with human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), and it is associated with treatment failure and the development of viral resistance. One of the most significant barriers to treatment adherence among adolescents is forgetting to take drugs as prescribed. One of the key strategies recommended to improve this problem is the u

Purpose: To explore hypertension management in primary healthcare (PHC). Design: Structured interviews of randomly selected PHC centres (PHCCs) from December 2019 to January 2021. Setting: Seventy-six PHCCs in eight regions of Sweden. Main outcome measures: Staffing and organization of hypertension care. Methods of measuring blood pressure (BP), laboratory tests, registration of co-morbidities and

Language development starts during the fetal period when the brain is sensitive to endocrine disruptions from environmental contaminants. This systematic review aims to systematically summarize the existing literature on early-life exposure to PFAS and children’s language and communication development, which is an indicator of neurocognitive development. A structured literature search was conducte

Clustering multiple motions from observed point trajectories is a fundamental task in understanding dynamic scenes. Most motion models require multiple tracks to estimate their parameters, hence identifying clusters when multiple motions are observed is a very challenging task. This is even aggravated for high-dimensional motion models. The starting point of our work is that this high-dimensionali

Traits that affect organismal fitness are often very genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature (after all) “selects” the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short. Explaining the extensive genetic variation of fitness-related traits is thus a longstanding puzzle in evolutionary biol

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the effects of a novel noise reduction software (INR, Canon Europe, Amsterdam, NL) on image quality (IQ) in Digital Radiography (DR) pelvic phantom images. Methods: In total, 53 pelvic phantom images and 360 technical images of a Contrast Detail Radiography phantom (CDRAD) were collected, including 8 different exposure levels (between 0.8 and 40 mAs at 70

Mars science fiction (SF) has interacted with Mars science ever since the advent of modern science, and has largely influenced public perceptions of the red planet and its exploration. In this chapter, it is argued that it has not only shaped numerous (mis)conceptions about the possibilities of indigenous Martian life, eventual human settlement and its challenges, but that it also has a large outr

A common and growing issue in scientific research and industry is that of storing and sharing ever-increasing datasets. In this paper we document the development and applications of Baler - a Machine Learning based tool for tailored compression of data across multiple disciplines.

With food shortage becoming a growing problem at the same time as the world population increases and cities become more densely populated than ever before, resource efficiency has become a more dire issue than ever. One major problem in food production today is that production efficiency is very weather dependent, transportation is also a big factor in environmental impact and almost half the worl

This study examines the multidimensional conflicts arising from land commodification through second-home development in Ziarat village, Iran, addressing a critical research gap in developing rentier states. Employing grounded theory methodology with data from 75 stakeholder interviews, the research identifies conflicts at individual-individual, individual-institutional, and institutional-instituti

Background: Maternal alloantibodies to human platelet antigen-1a can cause severe intracranial hemorrhage in a fetus or newborn. Although never evaluated in placebo-controlled clinical trials, most Western countries use off-label weekly administration of high-dosage intravenous immunoglobulin in all pregnant women with an obstetrical history of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia. In No

Pollinators are estimated to benefit the reproduction of three-quarters of global leading crop species and contribute to 3%–8% of the total global food production. Ongoing declines in pollinator populations have raised concerns about repercussions for food security. Thus, there is a need to better understand how agricultural yields depend on pollinator abundance. Here, we established yield–pollina

Introduction: Most cervical cancer cases in Sweden are diagnosed among women who have failed to attend screening. The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of offering vaginal HPV (human papillomavirus) self-samples to long-term non-attendees as a routine in this screening program, in which non-attendees had already been the targets of several interventions. Material and Methods

BackgroundThe purpose was to evaluate the prognostic impact of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) genotypes in relation to lifestyle and adjuvant treatments in breast cancer.MethodsAHR genotyping was performed on genomic DNA from 1701 patients included 2002–2016 in Lund, Sweden, and followed for up to 15 years. Eight AHR polymorphisms and eight haplotypes were analysed using survival and interaction
