Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Sedan Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen upptäckte röntgenstrålar 1896 utvecklades den diagnostiska röntgentekniken snabbt. Under första hälften av 1900-talet var användningen av joniserande strålning i form av röntgenstrålar den enda princip med vilken den allt mer tekniskt avancerade röntgendiagnostiken bedrevs. För att åskådliggöra blodkärl använder sig konventionell r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Esofagektomi (kirurgiskt avlägsnande av matstrupen) är ett omfattande ingrepp som främst utförs pga cancer, men som även utförs vid vissa godartade sjukdomar. Matstrupen sträcker sig från svalget, via bakre delen av bröstkorgen ned till övre delen av buken. Det anatomiska läget gör att man ur kirurgisk synpunkt oftast måste avlägsna matstrupen via en kombination av inciIn a prospective randomised study following oesophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction patients with hand-sutured neck anastomoses were compared with patients with circular stapled chest anastomoses. The two groups had equal rates of anastomotic or conduit leaks of 7.3 % (3/41) and 7.1 % (3/42) and of benign anastomotic strictures of 19.5 % (8/41) and 28.6 % (12/42). Another prospective random
Purpose: We measured concentrations of human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2), total prostate specific antigen (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA) and percent fPSA to evaluate their relationship to total prostate gland volume, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) volume, total prostate cancer (PCa) volume (CaVol) and the volume of Gleason grades 4/5 cancer (CaVolG14) in the serum of 256 patients with PCa undergoing
Progressive supranuclear palsy and Parkinson's disease have distinct underlying neuropathology, but both diseases affect cognitive function in addition to causing a movement disorder. They impair response inhibition and may lead to impulsivity, which can occur even in the presence of profound akinesia and rigidity. The current study examined the mechanisms of cognitive impairments underlying disin
BACKGROUND: Although the association between cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat length and age at onset of Huntington's disease is well known, improved prediction of onset would be advantageous for clinical trial design and prognostic counselling. We compared various measures for tracking progression and predicting conversion to manifest Huntington's disease.METHODS: In this prospective observa
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is typically treated with oral dopamine replacement therapies; however, long-term treatment leads to motor complications and, occasionally, impulse control disorders caused by intermittent stimulation of dopamine receptors and off-target effects, respectively. We aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of bilateral, intrastriatal delivery of ProSavin,
BACKGROUND: Suggestive interventions such as hypnosis and therapeutic suggestions are frequently used to alleviate surgical side effects; however, the effectiveness of therapeutic suggestion intervention has not yet been systematically evaluated. In the present study, we tested the hypotheses that (1) suggestive interventions are useful for reducing postoperative side effects; (2) therapeutic sugg
Objective: Studies of the importance of perinatal factors for the development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are sparse. We conducted a large national cohort study to examine perinatal and familial risk factors for IBS. Material and methods: A national cohort of 1,963,685 persons who were born in Sweden in 1973–1992 (identified from the Swedish Birth Registry) were followed up for adult (18 yea
Objective: The authors sought to determine whether pregnancy is an intrinsic motivator for cessation of drug abuse. Method: The authors conducted prospective cohort, corelative, co-spouse, and within-person analyses of registration for drug abuse during pregnancy among Swedish women born between 1980 and 1990 who gave birth between ages 20 and 35 (N=149,512). Drug abuse was assessed from medical,
Background: The solute carrier family 30 member 8 gene (SLC30A8) encodes a zinc transporter in the pancreatic beta cells and the major C-allele of a missense variant (rs13266634; C/T; R325W) in SLC30A8 is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). We hypothesized that the association between zinc intake and T2D may be modified by the SLC30A8 genotype. Results: We carried out a pro

Antibiotic resistance poses a global threat. Antibiotics are administered to 80-90% of terminally ill patients but evidence of their effectiveness in improving survival or symptom relief at the end of life (EOL) is scarce. To determine the proportion of deceased patients that continue antibiotic treatment after documented EOL discussion and the decision to prioritise symptom relief over active tre
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of the human papillomavirus (HPV) quadrivalent vaccine in preventing low grade cervical, vulvar, and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasias and anogenital warts (condyloma acuminata). DESIGN: Data from two international, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised efficacy trials of quadrivalent HPV vaccine (protocol 013 (FUTURE I) and protocol 015 (F
BackgroundImmune-related hepatitis (ir-hepatitis) ranks among the most frequent adverse events of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Limited knowledge exists regarding the incidence, characteristics, and treatment of patients having an inadequate response to initial therapy with steroids. Characterizing ir-hepatitis phenotypes and treatment responses can provide valuable insights for guiding tre
Quantification using the Centiloid (CL) scale has become a valuable information to consider when interpreting amyloid-PET images and is now implemented in several software packages. This work aims to assess the comparability of CL from [18F]flutemetamol scans derived using several research and commercial quantification pipelines. Methods: This analysis relies on three datasets: a test-retest cohor
BACKGROUND: Long COVID has emerged as a global health challenge, with increasing evidence of cardiovascular sequelae. Most previous studies have focused on hospitalised cohorts, whereas cardiovascular risk in community-managed long COVID cases remains less explored. We aimed to investigate the incidence of major cardiovascular events in individuals with long COVID compared to those without long CO
