ABSTRACT Background Posterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism. Narrative ability refers to the capacity to understand, create, and share stories. Narratives can be analysed at the macBackgroundPosterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism.

ObjectivesAutoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG) are serological markers of celiac disease. The aim was to study the applicability of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyping and tTG autoantibodies in the screening of celiac disease in a longitudinal birth cohort followed to age 15 years.MethodsIncluded were 13,860 HLA-DQ-genotyped children at birth and previously invited to a screen

Environmental relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are known to be promoters of physicochemical changes in pharmaceutical grade lactose, either in controlled (supervised conditioning), or uncontrolled (during transit and repository storage) scenarios. Comprehensive knowledge of this excipient's material characteristics prior to its use in formulation development is therefore a fundamental re

There is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries. This cross-sectional survey study (n = 414), conducted in 18 Swedish municipalities, used descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression to examine: user experiences related to satisfaction with WT, as well as users’ expectaThere is growing interest in using digital technology like welfare technology (WT) to support older adults (aged 75+) to age in place, particularly in Nordic countries.

BackgroundWireless pH-monitoring is an accurate method for diagnosing adults with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of the Bravo capsule on children investigated for GERD in terms of safety, tolerability and feasibility before and after administration of proton pump inhibitors.MethodsA Bravo capsule was inserted during upper endoscopy under gener

ObjectivesOur aim was to study the association between residential land cover and greenness during childhood and risk of developing celiac disease (CeD).MethodsThe Celiac Prediction in Skåne study prospectively followed 5969 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-genotyped children born 2001–2004 who were screened for CeD at ages 3, 9, and 15 years in Skåne, Sweden. Among these, 138 (2.3%) children only in

Although intermarriage is a commonly used indicator of immigrant integration into host societies, most research has focused on how individual characteristics determine intermarriage. This study uses the 1-910 IPUMS census sample to analyze how contextual factors affected intermarriage among European immigrants in the United States. We use newly-available complete-count census mircodata to construc

Biobased polyesters are emerging as sustainable alternatives for hot-melt adhesives (HMAs) owing to their tunable adhesion properties, facile processing, and versatile end-of-life options. Here, we report on the design of low-temperature (100 °C) HMAs, derived from oxygen-rich lignin-based copolyesters synthesized via copolymerization of a syringic acid-derived aromatic monomer with biobased aliph

In an era of global migration, where public discourse often assumes that migrants lack exposure to and command of local majority language(s), it is a crucial research task to understand how migrants learn and use new languages in their everyday lives. This study provides empirical evidence about the quantity and nature of everyday language exposure and use (LEU) among migrants in Sweden. Using the

Collaborative governance networks are increasingly central to local climate action, yet research offers limited understanding of the personal, psychological, and informal factors that sustain engagement within them. This paper examines how such networks facilitate meaningful and lasting participation through an in-depth study of Malmö Works, a long-standing public–private collaboration focused on

The negative relationship between birth interval length and neonatal mortality risks is well-documented, but the possibility of heterogeneity in this relationship has been largely ignored. Understanding variation in the strength of this relationship may be important for adjusting family planning programs strategies for issues regarding fertility regulation and maternal and child health, however, a

Introduction: Evidence for gut–kidney interactions in early kidney disease is limited, particularly in community-dwelling adults with largely preserved kidney function. Here, we quantified links between gut microbiota and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in two population-based Swedish cohorts. Methods: Deep shotgun metagenomics profiled fecal samples from 9788 adults in the Swedish CAr

This paper examines income and employment outcomes for immigrants in Sweden’smost immigrant-dense neighbourhoods between 1998 and 2022. While relativeemployment among immigrants has improved, relative incomes in theseneighbourhoods have stagnated or declined. The most plausible explanation for thepersisting income gap and the shrinking employment gap between immigrant-dense and other neighbourhood
