Background The perception of surgery as expensive and complex might be a barrier to its widespread acceptance in global health efforts. We did a systematic review and analysis of cost-effectiveness studies that assess surgical interventions in low-income and middle-income countries to help quantify the potential value of surgery. Methods We searched Medline for all relevant articles published betw
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
Abstract The aim of my paper is to highlight on two works of woman –writers in yiddish literature, The memoirs of Glikl Hamel (1645-1741) and the lightly disguised auto-biographical novel, Deborah, by Esther Singer-Kreitman (1891-1954).The paper also describes the growth of the writers in strictly religious, Jewish families, Glikl´s in Germany, Esther´s in Poland.

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have characteristics of high-bleeding -risk (HBR). Their influence on ischaemic and bleeding-events in AMI all-comers is not well described.METHODS: AMI Patients in England and Wales (E&W), and Sweden between 2005 and 2019 were included from MINAP and SWEDEHEART national registries. Patients were categorised acc
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.

OBJECTIVES: We assessed the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disabilities (NDDs; cognition, cerebral palsy, vision/hearing, epilepsy), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental coordination disorder (DCD), behavior problems, and multimorbidity in a national cohort of children born extremely preterm (EPT, <27-week gestation) to provide a comprehe
Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south-eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln-1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process. We find that the drilling has penetrated a complex sedimentary successio
Background: Public sector organizations develop procurement policies and regulations to ensure appropriate funds management and practice of “best value for money” by managers and purchasing specialists. Nevertheless, while these policies ensure compliance, they often convert the procurement process in resource intensive activities. Previous literature has also pointed the existence of tension betw
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this work was to explore associations between type 1 diabetes progression from stages 1 or 2 to stage 3 and interacting ligand-receptor complexes of HLA class I (HLA-I) and KIR gene products.METHODS: Applying next-generation sequencing technology to genotype HLA-I genes (HLA-A, -B, -C) and KIR genes (KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, KIR2DL3, KIR2DL4, KIR2DL5, KIR2DS1, KIR2DS2, KIR2DS3
Objective: To investigate the association of different aspects of cognitive impairment, depression and anxiety with walking difficulties in daily life in persons with mild PD.Background: Walking difficulties in daily life are common among persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and may cause falls and near falls, limitations in activity, restrictions in participation and decrease in quality of life.
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
BACKGROUND: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) was implemented in 2018 in Swedish child and adolescent psychiatric (CAP) inpatient care. This intervention empowers adolescents to self-admit at their own request for brief periods to prevent self-harm and suicidal crisis. As BA enhances healthcare user autonomy, it is a timely intervention to consider with the emerging human rights discourse and
The global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement. However, no low-emission primary steel production technology has yet been commercially feasible or deployed. Through analysing revisions and additions of European Union climate policy, we show that green hydrogen-based steelmaking in competitThe global steel industry accounts for 8–10 % of global CO2 emissions and requires deep decarbonisation for achieving the targets set in the Paris Agreement.

Background: The impact of air pollution and road traffic noise on depression remains inconclusive. This study examined long-term residential exposure to air pollutants and road traffic noise in relation to dispensed antidepressant medications. Methods: A cohort study was conducted using the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, with the outcome defined as a first dispensed antidepressant (ATC: N06A
Introduction Asthma may increase the risk of comorbidities and systemic inflammation, but population data are scarce. This study aimed to compare comorbidities and systemic inflammation between those with and without current asthma and to identify characteristics linked to comorbidities and biomarkers.
