Background: Biochemical and clinical biomarkers correlate with progression rate and disease severity in Parkinson's disease (PD) but are not sufficiently studied in late PD. Objective: To examine how serum neurofilament light chain (S-NfL) alone or combined with clinical classifications predicts PD outcome in later disease stages. Methods: Eighty-five patients with 7.9±5.1 years of PD duration wer

The covid-19 related health crisis has marked a revolution in the history of remote work. New venture teams (NVTs) are being forced or recommended to pursue their new venture remotely and digitally and are likely to encounter obstacles. Therefore, having to deal with remote and virtual teamwork is critical to understand the reasoning behind operating a new venture. This virtual teamwork partly dep

Once again Europe is faced with the challenge to which extent should a democratic state act in a militant manner to combat threats to its democratic future. Croatia and Sweden, both the European Union and Council of Europe member states, are also facing the increased clash between the freedom of expression and the far-right expression that occurs in public debate, therefore, affecting the legislat

Currently, multiple environmental crises threaten to irreversibly alter the living conditions that humanity has enjoyed on Earth for millennia. One of the main activities that contribute to these worrying environmental issues is the production and consumption of meat, which also poses serious public health and ethical concerns. In order to tackle these issues, a strong case has been made for the n

Introduction Breast cancer-related lymphoedema (BCRL) at the arm and/or trunk/breast is a highly feared complication following breast cancer treatment and can be objectified using the state-of-The-Art criteria based on volume, extracellular water ratio or skin thickness measurements. Although the incidence of objective BCRL is decreasing due to advances in breast cancer treatment, many patients re

This chapter offers a bottom-up perspective on welfare rights in practice, analysing legal mobilisation by young persons in homelessness in the Danish welfare state. Youth homelessness is selected as case motivated by the fact that the number of persons aged 18 to 29 living in homelessness almost doubled from 2009 to 2019. Drawing on the young persons’ narratives, the chapter stresses that their r

Background: Survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk for a wide range of late effects. However, no large population-based studies have included the whole range of somatic diagnoses including subgroup diagnoses and all main types of childhood cancers. Therefore, we aimed to provide the most detailed overview of the long-term risk of hospitalisation in survivors of childhood cancer. Metho

PURPOSE The ESPAC4 trial showed that adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus capecitabine (GemCap) produced longer overall survival (OS) than gemcitabine monotherapy. Subsequently, the PRODIGE24-CCTG PA.6 trial showed even longer survival for modified fluorouracil, folinic acid, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX) than gemcitabine but had more restrictive eligibility criteria. Our aim wa

Purpose To evaluate the added value of 7 Tesla (T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the presurgical assessment of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), considering its overall impact on clinical decision-making, including both MRI-positive and MRI-negative cases, and its timing during the evaluation process. Methods Sixty-one patients with drug-resistant TLE, enrolled in this study underw

BACKGROUND: Firefighting foam-contaminated ground water, which contains high levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is frequently found around airports. In 2018 it was detected that employees at a municipal airport in northern Sweden had been exposed to high levels of short-chain PFAS along with legacy PFAS (i.e., PFOA, PFHxS, and PFOS) through drinking water.OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aim

PURPOSE: multiple myeloma is considered an incurable hematologic cancer but a subset of patients can achieve long-term remissions and survival. The present study examines the clinical features of long-term survival as it correlates to depth of disease response. PATIENTS & METHODS: this was a multi-institutional, international, retrospective analysis of high-dose melphalan-autologous stem cell

HOW DID CIVIL SOCIETY REACT WHEN HIV/AIDS CAME TO SWEDEN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 1980s? HOW DID VOLUNTARY ORGANISATIONS ADAPT TO A NEW REALITY WHEN NEW MEDICINES APPEARED IN THE 1990s? HOW DID THEY INTERACT WITH THE STATE AND WITH EACH OTHER? Funded by The Swedish Research Council (VR) Project period: 2017–2019 The project aims at investigating the role of the Swedish civil society during the HIV/

Bacteria can cause life-threatening infections, such as pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis. Antibiotic therapy is a mainstay of treatment, although antimicrobial resistance has drastically increased over the years. Unfortunately, safe and effective vaccines against most pathogens have not yet been approved, and thus developing alternative treatments is important. We analyzed the efficiency of factor

The integration and synthesis of the data in different areas of science is drastically slowed and hindered by a lack of standards and networking programmes. Long-term studies of individually marked animals are not an exception. These studies are especially important as instrumental for understanding evolutionary and ecological processes in the wild. Furthermore, their number and global distributio
