The building permit is usually the final decision of urban governance for public authorities, whereby the private actor is given the right to construct at the urban plot. But in urban areas there is an urban context, which calls the attention to the need of a planning perspective of the assembled built environment. Detailed plans are required, and they ought to be considered in a total urban or mu
Background: – The use of antibiotic-loaded bone cement (ALBC) in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is debated. Some argue that ALBC might only be justified in high-risk patients. This study assessed the effectiveness of ALBC vs. plain bone cement (PBC) in reducing risk of revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in TKA patients considered to have a high risk of infection.Methods: – Co
Background: This study investigated the moderating role of household disposable income and family type on the association between precarious employment (PE) and diagnosed mental disorders. Methods: This longitudinal study used register data from the Swedish Work, Illness, and Labour-market Participation (SWIP) cohort. The study population included all individuals aged 27–65 who were employed in 20
Background and purpose —The use of a tourniquet in knee replacement surgery is debated. Given the conflicting evidence, we aimed to compare the risk of revision after total knee replacements (TKR) with or without the use of tourniquet. Methods — In this register based observational study, we included the 5 most common cemented primary TKR models due to osteoarthritis reported to the Swedish Arthro
Background: SARS-CoV-2 remains globally circulating, yet post-pandemic comprehensive molecular, serological, and population-level immunity data from low-resource settings such as Ethiopia are limited. This study employed genomic surveillance with seroepidemiological assessment to characterize the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 among individuals presenting with influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe a
Aim: To evaluate the impact of initial mono- versus multitherapy on the ocular surface and related quality of life after 5 years follow-up in the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS). Method: The study included patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who completed 5-year follow-up in GITS. Assessment of ocular surface disease (OSD) symptoms was done using a Sw
LARMET I HUSET Larma alltid galleriet när du lämnar det och ta in gatupratare och vaktbord i galleriet. Inget får lämnas i foajén utanför. När du lämnar galleriet och receptionen är stängd innebär det att du larmar på också i i foajén när du larmar galleriet. Då måste lämna huset direkt när du larmat galleriet, alltså inte stanna i foajén. Använd alltid nyckelknappar vid dörrarna, handtagen är lar

BACKGROUND: Pesticides play a crucial role in pest control; however, exposure remains high, particularly among smallholder farmers in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) with little access to pesticide safety training. This study aimed to provide comparative biomarker-based evidence from Latin America and Africa and identify actionable determinants of exposure to inform context-specific
BACKGROUND: Trigger finger surgery typically has a successful outcome, also in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the impact of glycemic control on long-term outcomes after open trigger finger release (OTFR) remains unclear. This study examines whether high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels affect patient-reported outcome (PRO) following OTFR in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Recurrent strokes are seven times more lethal than initial ones, with 54% leading to long-term disability. Substantial recurrent stroke risk disparities exist among ancestral groups. Notably, Africans face double the risk and higher fatality rates compared to Europeans. Although genetic studies, particularly GWAS, hold prom
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize and critically interpret new evidence (from the last 12-18 months) on the associations between obesity and breathlessness, including epidemiology, physiological mechanisms, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches.RECENT FINDINGS: Multiple large cohorts confirm that obesity is one of the strongest independent predictors of exertional breathlessness. Recent wo
Introduction: HIV guidelines recommend switching from a three-drug regimen (3DR) to dolutegravir + lamivudine (DTG+3TC) for eligible individuals. This retrospective national cohort study used Swedish InfCareHIV registry data to evaluate long-term outcomes of adults with HIV RNA <50 copies/ml who switched to DTG+3TC or a guideline-recommended 3DR between July 2019 and May 2023 in routine clinical c
Despite recommendations to use oral lipid-lowering therapies (LLT) in secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, numerous studies have shown substantial under-utilization. We assessed long-term persistence and dynamics of adherence to oral LLTs in patients after their first ever myocardial infarction (MI) in Sweden. A total of 83,407 patients with a MI (2010–2017) and who were
Background: Cardiovascular risk factor control reduces the risk of recurrent events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Long-term post-ACS management is poorly studied. Objectives: To assess frequency of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) monitoring and target achievement during 3 years post-ACS. Methods: Data from all patients hospitalized for ACS in Up
Introduction: Wearable sensors measuring bodily movements used in free-living conditions may help predict falls in older persons. Assessing their use in this context is essential to identify potential challenges related to fall risk screening. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the feasibility of conducting a prospective study comparing self-rated and wearable sensor-based measures for the asse
INTRODUCTION: People with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) are often referred to orthopaedic care. Physical therapist-led interventions are recommended in consensus statements as the first line of treatment, but it is unknown if structured interventions are more effective than usual care. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured physical therapist-led treatment
