Background: Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a form of behavioural therapy for tics; however, its effectiveness remains uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered, therapist-supported, and parent-assisted ERP for treatment of tics in children and young people with Tourette syndrome or chronic tic disorder. Methods: This multicentre, parallel group, single-blin
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the association between pain intensity and willingness to undergo surgery is explained by walking difficulties, in patients with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA).METHODS: This is an observational study using data from the Better management of patients with Osteoarthritis (BOA) register, which collects data from a publicly financed self-management programme for peo
Local targeted treatment of bone and joint infections using antibiotic-containing carriers is a common practice today. A recently FDA approved biphasic calcium sulphate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) carrier containing gentamicin has been reported to give a sustained drug release, highly effective in eradicating bone infections. We present the first study evaluating the widely used aminoglycoside tobramy
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine, using a top-down genetic analysis, the degree of specificity of the genetic risk factors for individual forms of substance use disorders (SUD). Method: We examined and followed to December 31, 2018, all individuals born in Sweden between 1960 and 1990 (N = 2,772,752) diagnosed with any of the following six SUDs: alcohol use disorder (AUD), dru
Background Renal elimination normally decreases with age. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) carry a risk of additional kidney damage. Objective The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of NSAIDs in the elderly (aged ≥ 65) population in Sweden, explore reasons for any possible differences in the level of use and assess their kidney functions. Setting Data were obtained from t
Efficient thermal management of lithium battery modules has become a thorny problem in the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), especially under high current discharge. In this article, the fin/phase change material (PCM) composite structure was proposed for AUV's battery thermal management with consideration of natural convection. The temperature behavior of the battery and the m
Regular physical activity (PA) and limited sedentary time (SED) are highly recommended in international guidelines for patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Data on PA and SED are often self-reported in clinical practice and, hence, reliable and valid questionnaires are crucial. This study aimed to assess the test–retest reliability, criterion validity and agreement of two PA and one SED qu
Aims: To investigate if addition of metformin to standard care (life-style advice) reduces the occurrence of cardiovascular events and death after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with newly detected prediabetes. Methods: The Myocardial Infarction and new treatment with Metformin study (MIMET) is a large multicentre registry-based randomised clinical trial (R-RCT) within the SWEDEHEART regis
The risk of major amputation is higher after urgently planned endovascular therapy for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this nationwide cohort study was to compare outcomes between patients with and without DM following urgently planned open revascularization for CLTI from 2010 to 2014. Out of 1537 individuals registered in the Swedish Va
Objective: Detailed analysis of hematological manifestations (HM) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are limited and their clinical impact on disease remain obscure. Here, we aimed to decipher factors associated with different hematological abnormalities in SLE patients and to assess their impact on disease related outcomes. Methods: A dataset (GIPT) originating from SLE patients of six Europea
PURPOSE: It is generally believed that large eyelid defects must be repaired using a vascularized flap for 1 lamella, while the other can be a free graft. Recent studies indicate that the pedicle of a tarsoconjunctival flap does not contribute to blood perfusion. The purpose of this study was to explore whether large eyelid defects can be repaired using a free bilamellar eyelid autograft alone.MET
The Swedish consumers consumed in 2014 13.1 kilo textilies, of this 8 kilogram was dicarded via household waste and used for energy production. European Union’s waste hierarchy avocates a higher rate of reuse and recycling for a more sustainable textile flow. The Swedish goverment is, therefor, working toward new laws and guidelines which can lead to an expanded responsibility for the municipaliti
Denna deskriptiva studie undersöker behovet av logopedisk kompetens inom svensk kriminalvård. Fokus för studien är kvinnliga klienter och klienter med annat modersmål än svenska. Tidigare forskning har visat att det är vanligare med språkliga och kommunikativa svårigheter bland klienter än hos normalpopulationen. Undersökningen är baserad på intervjuer med 17 deltagare med olika koppling till Krim
Villkorlig frigivning infördes i svensk rätt 1906 för att möjliggöra en kontrollerad övergång från fängelsestraffets frihetsberövande till livet i frihet. Reglerna var då fakultativa och endast tillämpliga för långtidsdömda. Sedan 1906 har institutet om villkorlig frigivning successivt utvidgats och utgör idag en huvudregel som ska ske efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff, dock tidigasParole was introduced into Swedish law in 1906 to enable a controlled transition from imprisonment to life in freedom. Initially, the rules were discretionary and applicable only to long-term prisoners. Since 1906, the scope of parole has gradually expanded and now constitutes the general rule, allowing release after two thirds of the prison sentence has been served, though not earlier than 30 day
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to impaired regulation of cerebral blood flow, which may be caused by pathological changes of the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial wall. Moreover, these cerebrovascular changes may contribute to the development of various neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s-like pathologies that include amyloid beta aggregation. Despite its i
To further understand the inter-relationship of the familial transmission of major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), we examine, via a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, risks for AUD and MD in 1,244,516 individuals born in Sweden from 1970 to 1990 to intact mother-father pairs as a function of parental diagnoses of MD and/or AUD. Across the nine possible mating types, we
