The exposome represents the totality of life course environmental exposures (including lifestyle and other non-genetic factors), from the prenatal period onwards. This holistic concept of exposure provides a new framework to advance the understanding of complex and multifactorial diseases. Prospective pregnancy and birth cohort studies provide a unique opportunity for exposome research as they are

The evidence on the impact of high sugar consumption on micronutrient dilution does not yet allow for the establishment of clear thresholds of consumption. To establish upper and lower limit intake thresholds for added sugar, more studies from different countries and multiple populations are needed. The aim of this study was to examine the association between the intakes of added sugar and various

Fear has been assigned a central role in models of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), but empirical investigations into the emotions that underpin OCD symptoms are few, especially in pediatric samples. Using validated, clinician-led structured interviews, 124 youth with OCD reported on the presence and severity of symptoms across the main symptom dimensions of OCD (aggressive, symmetry, contamin

Rare neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by high heterogeneity and high clinical complexity, as well as low incidence and prevalence, thus making tracking small numbers of incident cases in the general population very challenging. Since it is not possible to use classical cohort studies to estimate the incidence of these rare diseases, we can “reconstruct” a theoretical cohort using case

The share of contact allergy to MCI/MI 0.215% aq., MCI/MI 0.02% aq., and MI 0.2% aq. varied in the test centers between 7.9% and 25.9%, 3.2% and 10.3%, and 5.8% and 12.3%, respectively. MCI/MI 0.215% aq. detected significantly more patch‐test positive individuals than both MCI/MI 0.02% aq. (P < .001) and MI 0.2% aq. (P < .001), as well as either one of MCI/MI and MI (P < .001).

We aimed to assess the patient experience of informed consent (IC) during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a sub-study of the VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial. The original trial compared two anticoagulant agents in patients undergoing coronary intervention. A witnessed oral IC was required prior to randomization in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, which was subsequently comp

For STEMI patients admitted for primary percutaneous coronary intervention from 2007-2010, the latest ECGs recorded before STEMI were exported in digital format. After excluding ECGs with paced rhythm and QRS duration ≥120 ms, the remaining ECGs were processed using the Glasgow algorithm allowing automatic ER detection. The association between ER pattern and VT/VF during the first 48 hours of STEM

Heart failure (HF) has emerged as a global public health problem that affects both low and high-income countries. The high HF burden and the need for resource-intensive treatments often lead to health system crisis in resource-poor settings. Data on prevailing practice patterns and long-term clinical outcomes of HF are scarce from the low and middle-income countries. Nationally representative HF d

There were no significant differences in 25(OH)D levels between MDD and controls (p = 0.24) or between MDD with and without SI (p = 0.61). However, 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with all measured inflammatory markers; these correlations were stronger in MDD subjects, and particularly in those with SI. MDD status significantly moderated the relationships between 25(OH)D and NLR (p = 0.03), and

Globally, an estimated 350 million people are affected by a rare disease diagnosis. Knowledge limitations persist for the majority of rare conditions due to systemic and structural challenges in healthcare and research. Disease-specific patient populations are often small and geographically dispersed; funding support for research is restricted; and diagnostic delays are common due to disease compl
