BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to examine associations between intake of macronutrients and dietary fiber and incident ischemic cardiovascular disease (iCVD) in men and women. METHODS: We used data from 8,139 male and 12,535 female participants (aged 44-73 y) of the Swedish population-based Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort. The participants were without history of CVD and diabetes mellitus, and

Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are globally prevalent chronic diseases that affect millions of individuals in ageing populations. Hip and knee replacements are well established and effective treatments in patients suffering from end-stage OA. Understanding how T2DM influences the outcomes of these surgeries is important for optimising patient care and improving s

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases

Minskning av resultatet i svenska bolag genom koncerninterna upplåningar är ett relativt enkelt skatteplaneringsförfarande som syftar till att reducera de totala skattekostnaderna i en internationell koncern. Förfarandet går generellt till så att ett svenskt bolag tar upp ett lån från ett annat bolag inom koncernen etablerat i ett lågskatteland. Räntan som löper på lånet dras som en kostnad i det Reduction of the result in Swedish companies through intercompany bor-rowings is a relatively simple tax planning procedure aimed to reduce the fiscal costs in an international corporate group. The procedure is generally composed of a Swedish company raising a loan from another company within the group established in a low-tax country. The interest on the loan is deductible in the Swedish company,

BACKGROUND: TF (transcription factor) Prdm16 (positive regulatory domain-containing protein 16) regulates hematopoietic and neuronal stem cell homeostasis, adipose differentiation, and cardiac development. Its role in the circulatory system extends beyond the heart, as Prdm16 loss in arterial endothelial cells (ECs) impairs arterial reperfusion of ischemic mouse limbs due to endothelial dysfunctio

Understanding the atomic-scale interfaces in advanced semiconductor heterostructures is essential for controlling defects, optimizing material properties, and ensuring device reliability. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the atomic structure at Al(Ga)N interfaces in N-polar GaN high-electron-mobility transistor structures (HEMTs) via aberration-corrected annular dark field scannin

The major histocompatibility complex class II transactivator (CIITA) gene (16p13) has been reported to associate with susceptibility to multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and myocardial infarction, recently also to celiac disease at genome-wide level. However, attempts to replicate association have been inconclusive. Previously, we have observed linkage to the CIITA region in Scandinavian ty

Aortic stenosis (AS) shares risk factors with atherosclerotic vascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque may reflect the cumulative damage from exposure to different atherosclerotic risk factors. We examined the relationship of carotid IMT and plaque with incident AS in a prospective population-based study.

Grey scale median (GSM) measured on ultrasound images of carotid plaques has been used for several years now in research to find the vulnerable plaque. Centres have used different software and also different methods for GSM measurement. This has resulted in a wide range of GSM values and cut-off values for the detection of the vulnerable plaque. The aim of this study was to compare the values obta

The use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) throughout the perioperative phase of lung transplantation requires nuanced planning and execution by an integrated team of multidisciplinary experts. To date, no multidisciplinary consensus document has examined the perioperative considerations of how to best manage these patients. To address this challenge, this perioperative utilization of ECLS in l

Non-exhaust emissions from the wear of brakes, tyres, and roads have become an increasing concern in recent years, already surpassing exhaust emissions by mass in many countries. However, there is a lack of studies in the scientific literature on test methods that include both real tyre and road materials. This is crucial for accurately replicating the tribological mechanisms and resulting emissio

Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to transform the care of women with cancer. From early detection via digital phenotyping to diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, innovative AI applications are rapidly emerging across the cancer care continuum. AI-assisted mammographic screening for breast cancer has been clinically translated, and AI-based contouring in radiotherapy is streamlining treatment pl

Toxin-antitoxin-chaperone (TAC) systems are three-part gene clusters encoding a toxin, antitoxin, and specialized SecB-like chaperone (SecB TA) with emerging roles in phage defense. To identify and classify SecB homologs and associated TACs across bacteria, we surveyed the full RefSeq database. Phylogenetic and gene neighborhood analyses reveal three major SecB subfamilies: two housekeeping group

Obesity’s metabolic heterogeneity is not fully captured by body mass index (BMI). Here we show that deep multi-omics phenotyping of 1,408 individuals defines a metabolome-informed obesity metric (metBMI) that captures adipose tissue-related dysfunction across organ systems. In an external cohort (n = 466), metBMI explained 52% of BMI variance and more accurately reflected adiposity than other omic

Trots att miljö- och produktionsmål formellt varit jämställda i skogspolitiken under de senaste decennierna, är förlust av biologisk mångfald ett fortsatt problem. Inom skogspolitiken i Sverige och Finland har strategier för ökat skydd av biologisk mångfald framhållit frivillighet, som certifiering av skogsbruk och frivilliga avsättningar mot kompensation. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur resultatenDespite decades of claimed ambitions to increase environmental consideration in forest policy, biodiversity loss in boreal forests continues. As the pressure on forest biodiversity intensifies, due to land use competition, shifting societal demands, and climate change, it is crucial to address the shortfall of biodiversity policies in reaching their intended outcomes. Voluntary policy instruments
