Selenium has been suggested to be protective regarding breast cancer risk but no overall effect has been established. Genetics may modify the effect. This study compares the effect of selenium exposure on breast cancer risk between women with different alleles in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The Malmö Cancer and Diet Study, a cohort including 17,035 women and >25 years of follow-up on b
CONTEXT: Neurotensin is associated with cardiometabolic diseases but its role with mortality risk in humans is unknown.OBJECTIVE: This work aims to examine the prediction of proneurotensin (Pro-NT) with respect to total and cause-specific mortality in a middle-aged cohort.METHODS: In the population-based middle-aged cohort (n = 4632; mean age, 57 years) of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, Pro-NT w
Background: Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is still a major complication in patients undergoing lung transplantation (LTx). Much is unknown about the effect of postoperative mechanical ventilation on outcomes, with debate on the best approach to ventilation. Aim/Purpose: The goal of this study was to generate hypotheses on the association between postoperative mechanical ventilation settings and
Controlling the streaming flow in acoustically actuated microchannels enables the targeted motion of suspended micro-objects. This can offer novel approaches for rare cell studies or cell sorting in medicine or basic biology. In this work, we utilize the temperature dependence of the acoustic body force, which originates from the interaction of an acoustic field with gradients in compressibility o
Background. The estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is one tool to detect renal disease. The most used biomarker remains serum creatinine and the European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFCcrea ) equation is the most validated in Europe. More recently, cystatin C has been proposed as a biomarker. We studied the performances of the EKFC equations in a large cohort of subjects according to
BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, with or without neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), exhibit greater neuronal impairment compared to healthy individuals in terms of neuronal damage, magnet resonance imaging (MRI) changes and cognitive dysfunction. Interferon (IFN)-α is a key immunopathogenic driver of SLE, being persistently overexpressed in the majority of patients. This longitu
Low vaccination coverage against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is a public health concern. The aim of this study was to identify barriers and motivators associated with COVID-19 vaccination and develop a vaccine acceptance scoring system. From the overall population residing in Skåne county Sweden in 2022 (n = 1 384 531), 3600 randomly selected individuals (aged ≥18 years) received a survey. Questions wer
Background Von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) plasma levels are associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Objectives This study aimed to determine the thrombotic risk of rare and common variants of 27 genes linked to VWF or FVIII plasma levels in genome-wide association studies. Methods Exon sequences of 27 genes linked to plasma levels of VWF or
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that integrate signals from their environment allowing them to direct situation-adapted immunity. Thereby they harbor great potential for being targeted in vaccination, autoimmunity, and cancer. Here, we use fate mapping, functional analyses, and comparative cross-species transcriptomics to show that RORγt+ DCs are a co
Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en betydande andel av Sveriges och EU:s totala växthusgasutsläpp, och tillverkningen av betong är en av de mest utsläppsintensiva delarna av byggprocessen. Med bakgrund av ökade klimatkrav undersöker denna studie förutsättningarna för återbruk av större betongelement i svenska byggprojekt. Studien analyserar den miljömässiga lönsamheten i återbruk, identifierarThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a significant share of Sweden's and the EU's total greenhouse gas emissions, and the production of concrete is one of the most emission-intensive parts of the construction process. Against the backdrop of increasing climate requirements, this study examines the conditions for reusing larger concrete elements in Swedish construction proje
Tuvalu, a sovereign island state in the Pacific, faces an unprecedented threat: entering a condition of uninhabitability and losing its land territory due to sea-level rise (SLR). While its inhabitants fight passionately to preserve their home, their remarkable culture, and statehood, existing scientific and legal frameworks remain fragmented to address the situation. The thesis aimed to develop a
In this study, soil cores (0–20 cm) were collected at 45 sites located within a 30-km radius zone around the Belarusian nuclear power plant (BelNPP) in 2019 before its commissioning. Activity of gamma-emitting radionuclides was measured in the samples using HPGe detectors. The study revealed low levels of 137Cs in the soil: the weighted average dry weight (d.w.) activity concentration (ACw) varied
Objectives: To investigate the relation between adherence to dietary recommendations, the quantified intake of the components of these recommendations, and the risk of developing giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods: Participants in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study cohort who subsequently developed GCA were identified through register linkage and validated in a structured review. Four controls, matc
