Project title: Early-life environmental risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease: A Nordic birth cohort study Project: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, debilitating immune-mediated disease with a typical onset in childhood and young adulthood. After a rising incidence over the past decades, it now affects 0.5% of Western populations, and is an emerging disease globally. There is a

Har du tappat bort ett USB-minne med känsliga uppgifter? Eller har du sett någon stryka omkring i universitetets lokaler med en möjlig avsikt att tillskansa sig värdefull information? Det finns gott om exempel på tänkbara informationssäkerhetsincidenter som måste anmälas. En informationssäkerhetsincident är ”en oönskad händelse med negativa konsekvenser som handlar om säkerheten för information".

In an extension of Mendelian randomization, we leveraged variation in genetic risk for late-onset AD risk to estimate the causal effect of AD on BMI and the earliest ages at which AD-related weight loss (or lower BMI as a proxy) occurs.

Smart card data (SCD) allow analyzing mobility at a fine level of detail, despite the remaining challenges such as identifying trip purpose. The use of the SCD may improve the understanding of transit users' travel patterns from precarious settlements areas, where the residents have historically limited access to opportunities and are usually underrepresented in surveys.

Despite progress toward curtailing opioid prescribing, physicians are often slow to adopt new prescribing practices. Using the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC), we aimed to demonstrate the ability of a national, disease-specific, personalized registry to impact opioid prescribing.
