Background: Long-term consequences of comorbid autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) are inadequately investigated. Methods: In the 1980s, 51 adolescent-onset AN cases (AN group) and 51 matched controls (COMP group) were recruited from the community. They have been examined on five occasions. The four last assessments included the Morgan-Russell Outcome Assessmen
Microalgal range expansions are increasing in frequency and magnitude worldwide mostly due to anthropogenic factors. However, they often remain unnoticed until mass development (algal blooms) occurs due to difficulties in detection when population densities are low. However, population genetic methods offer an approach to investigate these patterns. One such potentially expanding bloom-forming spe
We present a novel, global 30 arc seconds (∼1 km at the equator) population projection dataset covering each year from 2010 to 2100 that is consistent with both country level population and gridded urban fractions from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6). While IPCC population projections until 2100 are available at country level for Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs), land cover (incl
Background: Associations between air pollution and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been reported, but studies at low exposure levels and relevant exposure time windows are still warranted. This study investigated clinical CKD at low air pollution levels in the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Cohort in different exposure time windows. Methods: This study included 30,396 individuals, aged 45–74 at e
The aim of this study is to characterize atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) extracted from a cohort of continuously monitored atrial fibrillation (AF) patients as function of episode duration and onset time. The f-wave signal used to compute the AFR was extracted from a single lead ECG strip of the AF episodes stored in an Implantable Cardiac Monitor (ICM) in a cohort of 99 patients. The f-wave signal
The atrio-ventricular (AV) node is the primary regulator of ventricular rhythm during atrial fibrillation (AF). Hence, ECG based characterization of AV node properties can be an important tool for monitoring and predicting the effect of rate control drugs. In this work we present a network model of the AV node, and an associated workflow for robust estimation of the model parameters from ECG. The
The atrioventricular node (AVN) plays an important role in rate control during atrial fibrillation (AF). To further our understanding of the AVN function in AF, we present a model-based study, relating AVN electrophysiological characteristics to changes in RR series characteristics observed during treatment with rate control drugs. The dual-pathway physiology of the AVN was modelled using a networ
In a multicentre phase III study of disseminated malignant melanoma performed in Sweden and Norway, 326 patients were randomised to receive treatment with the combination dacarbazine [DTIC] (D) and vindesine (V) with or without the addition of cisplatin (P). D was given intravenously (i.v.) at a dose of 250 mg/m2 days 1-5 every 4 weeks and V was given i.v. at a dose of 3.0 mg/m2 day 1 weekly. P wa
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common disease, especially in the knee. It is characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage but involves all parts of the joint. OA is usually diagnosed at a late stage when the articular cartilage has begun to disappear. What happens before these macroscopic alterations is to alarge extent unknown. In this thesis the focus is on articular cartilage and menisc
We have used grazing incidence X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at the cobalt K-edge to characterize monolayer CoO films on Pt(111) under ambient pressure exposure to CO and O2, with the aim of identifying the Co phases present and their transformations under oxidizing and reducing conditions. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra show clear changes in the chemical state
This article examines early Boy Scout camps as events of national display and localized internationalism. By detailing how the camp culture of the Swedish Boy Scout movement facilitated transnational integration, the article shows that internationalism as localized practice can be observed in summer camp environments from the early days of the twentieth century. Reports from these early camps high
This empirical study adopts an institutional theory framework to analyze the interactions and complex dynamics of entrepreneurial ecosystems. While previous research investigated interactions between the different actors of the entrepreneurship ecosystem, little attention has been dedicated to understanding the impact of the interactions upon the ecosystem dynamics. Adopting a case study approach
Introduction: Population-based studies about the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) in pregnancy are few and have limited generalizability to the Nordic population and healthcare systems. Material and methods: This study examines pregnant women with COVID-19 in the five Nordic countries. Pregnant women were included if they were admitted to hospital between 1 March and 30 June 2020 an
Aim: Bumetanide, a diuretic agent, that reduces intracellular chloride—thereby reinforcing GABAergic inhibition—has been reported to improve core symptoms of autism in children. Given the positive results reported from French trials of bumetanide in children with autism, we decided to evaluate its effects in a small-scale pilot study, in advance of a larger randomised controlled study (RCT). Metho
