Background: Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), an eosinophil granule protein, is a candidate biomarker in asthma to reflect eosinophilic activation. Objective: We sought to characterize the distribution of serum and nasal lavage fluid (NLF) EDN levels in different adult population subgroups and assess the determinants of high EDN levels. Methods: Serum and NLF samples were collected from a popul

Background and aims: The relationship between uncommon phenotypes, such as metabolically healthy obesity and normal weight with metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, remains unclear. We investigated how different combinations of body mass index (BMI) and MetS are associated with overall and specific CVDs and how the number of MetS components influences CVD risk in indiv

Abstract: Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of fracture. Areal bone mineral density (aBMD), the most reliable indicator of fracture risk in healthy adults, is low in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus but normal or high in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Most trabecular and cortical parameters measured by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)

Para athletes are at higher risk for sports-related injuries, illnesses and other health conditions when participating in sports. In fact, the unique demands placed on Para athletes, both in terms of the specific impairments they experience and the adaptive equipment they use, can lead to a distinctive set of challenges and risks in the context of sports-related health compared to nondisabled athl

Background: It is unclear whether thyroid hormone levels are associated with the risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, or cancer in men with normal TSH. Objectives: We analyzed if serum free T4 (FT4) or TSH is associated with the risk of mortality, incident CVD events, or cancer in Swedish men. Methods: Elderly men (n = 1801; mean age 75 years) in the Gothenburg and Malmö subcoho

Background Access to adequate antenatal care (ANC) is crucial for improving maternal and neonatal health outcomes. Despite high national ANC coverage, Colombia still faces regional and socioeconomic disparities. This study aims to estimate geographical and intersectional inequalities in ANC coverage and evaluate the contribution of social determinants to these disparities. Methods We conducted a c

Background: Although there is substantial evidence of the negative impact of caffeine use on sleep quality, few studies focus specifically on adolescents’ patterns of use. This study aimed to identify patterns of caffeine use among adolescents and analyze their association with sleep quality. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Sweden including 1,404 adolescents aged 15–17 (5

Ur MEDEALAND (Sara Stridsberg), sidan 87-89 Rollen som JASON. Medea och kistorna skyms nu av ett hudfärgat draperi. Jason kommer skyndande in, men blir stoppad av Gudinnan vid draperiet. Hon ställer fram en stol åt honom och pekar på den. GUDINNAN: Sätt dig. JASON: Var är hon? GUDINNAN: Sitt ner en stund. JASON: Jag tänker inte sitta ner. Ta hit helveteshonan. GUDINNAN: Du får vänta en stund. Jag

We hypothesized that Rho-kinase signaling plays a role in mechanical and adhesive mechanisms of neutrophil accumulation in lung. Male C57BL/6 mice were treated with the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 prior to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Lung levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and histological tissue damage were determined 6h and 24h after CLP. Expression of Mac-1 and F-actin formation in neutrop

BACKGROUND: No studies have so far evaluated the impact of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) as an entity on ovarian cancer risk. The authors aimed to examine the association between factors in the MetS, individually and combined, and risk of ovarian cancer incidence and mortality. METHODS: Altogether, 290 000 women from Austria, Norway and Sweden were enrolled during 1974-2005, with measurements take

We used multilevel models to investigate whether the odds of coronary heart disease (CHD) is higher in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) living in deprived neighborhoods versus those living in wealthy neighborhoods. The Swedish nationwide prescription register was used to identify 334,000 patients aged 30 years and older with DM. The OR of CHD was significantly higher among patients with DM liv

BACKGROUND: recurrent fallers are at especially high risk for injuries. OBJECTIVE: to study whether tests of physical performance are associated with recurrent falls. SUBJECTS: a total of 10,998 men aged 65 years or above. METHODS: questionnaires evaluated falls sustained 12 months preceding testing of grip strength, timed stand, 6-m walk and 20-cm narrow walk test. Means with 95% confidenc

Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a grey-level textural index of bone microarchitecture derived from lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) images. TBS is a BMD-independent predictor of fracture risk. The objective of this meta-analysis was to determine whether TBS predicted fracture risk independently of FRAX probability and to examine their combined performance by adjusting the FRAX pr

In recent years, there has been an increased interest for use of pharmaceutical testosterone among elderly men. However, it is still scarcely studied if this use is conditioned by socioeconomic factors in the general population of elderly men.
