Methods Register-based population-nested case-control study in Sweden, 2009–2021

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with an increased risk for a variety of squamous cell carcinomas in the general population. The risk for subsequent squamous cell carcinomas in blood or marrow transplantation survivors that are potentially related to HPV (cervical, oropharyngeal, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and penile cancer; HPV-related squamous cell carcinomas) remains unknown. Met

Objectives: To analyze device designs, similarities and overlaps of custom-made fenestrated arch endografts intended for mid/distal arch thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Materials and Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study analyzing custom-made anonymized graft plans was performed. Graft plans were included from a cohort of mid/distal aortic arch repairs using custom-made fenestrated aor

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by 3 core symptom complexes: parkinsonism, cerebellar syndrome, and dysautonomia. Recent Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria allow for the clinical diagnosis of MSA based solely on motor symptoms, without requiring dysautonomia. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and disease trajecto

Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden. Today, 140 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste is generated in Sweden, which is unsustainable. 31% of the non-hazardous waste is traced to the construction industry, the mining industry excluded. Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas

Dead wood is a key element in forest ecosystems and a wide range of organisms are dependent on this substrate for development and reproduction. Saproxylic beetles are important decomposers of dead wood and serve as food for many organisms. Due to the significant forestry-related decrease of dead wood in rural areas, many species of saproxylic beetles are considered threatened. Thus, other spaces h

The pulmonary route has emerged as a promising strategy for delivering protein therapeutics, particularly for patients suffering from respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and pulmonary infections. This project investigated the effect of operating parameters of a laboratory spray dryer on the characteristics of powders composed of Bovine Serum Albumin

Sharks are an ecologically important group of fishes important to maintaining ecosystem structure and function, yet the additive effects of climate change and anthropogenic activities threaten their survival. Northwestern Atlantic populations of shortfin mako sharks and white sharks are considered threatened species, with populations in decline since the 1950s. Previous conservation efforts have a

Objectives: Pregnancy can influence immune control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (MtbI). We recently reported an association between MtbI and pregnancy complications, particularly severe preeclampsia, in a registry-based cohort of women originating in tuberculosis-endemic countries screened for MtbI in Swedish antenatal care, implying a potential role of MtbI for the development of preec

Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh

Deteriorating water quality is a challenge which affects people of the entire world, with a growing population and increased industrialization worldwide. The problem is especially apparent in many developing nations where water resource management must be improved to secure a future sustainable supply. This study was undertaken as a bachelor degree within the MFS-program funded by SIDA. The study

Stjärnor sägs vara astronomins tidskapsel, genom att studera stjärnor kan vi bättre förstå många fenomen. Stjärnor är en viktig del av vårt universum från det att de skapas till det att de dör. De berikar vårt universum med olika grundämnen som krävs för att planeter ska bildas och för att liv ska uppstå. Det verkar då självklart varför man vill undersöka och förstå alla aspekter kring stjärnbildnThis is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S

Sustainability researchers are facing increasing pressure to improve their scientific communication and to achieve impacts in wider society with their research. Knowledge mobilisation (KMB) is a key component of both challenges, as it relates to efforts undertaken by researchers to achieve impacts with their research. This study seeks to identify some of the KMB practices being undertaken by exper

Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so

Popular science Using remote sensing to assess drought in Somalia Somalia, the country in East Africa in a region referred to as Horn of Africa is in a civil war, conflict and unrest since 1991. The prolonged conflict increases the impact of droughts in the country which is already prone to drought continuously. The country is frequently exposed to drought, occurring moderately every 3-4 years a

2MOD_Pedagogics proceeding LTH:s 12:e Pedagogiska Inspirationskonferens, 7 december 2023 Abstract—The courses students experience first in higher education can set the stage for their future understanding of the subject matter and their choice between a surface or deep approach to learning. Building a good foundation in these areas early on is vital. In this work we study how students learn new pr

OBJECTIVE: This study assessed prognostic factors regarding long-term outcome for amputation and death among patients who underwent intra-arterial thrombolysis due to lower limb ischemia. METHODS: Consecutive patients with intra-arterial thrombolysis due to lower limb ischemia treated at the Department of Vascular Diseases, University Hospital of Malmö, between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 20

BACKGROUND: Primary cervical screening with both human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing and cytological examination of cervical cells with a Pap test (cytology) has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials. Because the vast majority of women with positive cytology are also HPV DNA positive, screening strategies that use HPV DNA testing as the primary screening test may be more effective. METHO
