Induced-abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal deaths in developing countries which hamper this effort. In Ghana, alcohol consumption and unwanted pregnancies are on the ascendancy. We examined the association between alcohol consumption and maternal mort

Stroke accounts for more than 10% of all deaths globally and most of it occurs in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Income inequality and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has been associated to stroke mortality in developed countries. In LMIC, GDP per capita is considered to be a more relevant health determinant than income inequality. This study aims to investigate if income inequal

The Atankwidi River Basin is situated in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The Basin has an area of around 275 km2. The semiarid climate in which the Atankwidi is situated is characterized by one rainy season spanning from April to September and one dry season spanning from September to April. All of the year’s precipitation falls during the rainy season – roughly 1000mm – with a peak downfall in Au

•Robberies as well as mental distress have increased among adolescents in Sweden.•This study on school students in southern Sweden was population-based with a high response rate.•Half of the robbed adolescents abstained from police reporting.•Non-reporters had poorer mental health than victims who reported the robbery.•Non-reporters were also an overall more disadvantaged group.

Glucagon is the principal glucose-elevating hormone that forms the first-line defence against hypoglycaemia. Along with insulin, glucagon also plays a key role in maintaining systemic glucose homeostasis. The cells that secrete glucagon, pancreatic α-cells, are electrically excitable cells and use electrical activity to couple its hormone secretion to changes in ambient glucose levels. Exactly how

Icke-förskriven användning av opioidläkemedel, såsom tramadol, är ett stort globalt hälsoproblem. I Sverige har användningen av tramadol bland unga uppmärksammats stort och lyfts fram som ett nytt droganvändningsmönster. Det övergripande syftet med denna licentiatuppsats är att utforska droganvändningsförlopp och processen att försöka sluta med droger bland unga med erfarenhet av problematiskt traNon-medical use of prescription opioids, such as tramadol, is a major global health concern. In Sweden, tramadol use among young people is widely recognized and highlighted as a novel drug use pattern. The overall aim of this licentiate thesis is to explore drug use trajectories and the process of attempting to quit drugs among young people with experiences of problematic tramadol use. 24 qualitat

De som både jobbar och hjälper äldre anhöriga riskerar försämrad hälsa såväl som ekonomi. Villkoren för dem som utför obetalt omsorgsarbete måste förbättras, skriver Maria Stanfors i en ny SNS-rapport.

Background: People with Intellectual disabilities (ID) have more healthcare utilization, especially unplanned inpatient care. One reason could be too early hospital discharges, resulting in readmissions. This is an important aspect of quality of care that has not been thoroughly assessed among people with ID. Aim: To investigate readmission to hospital within 30 days among people with ID compared

Intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (I-MAIHDA) is an innovative approach for investigating inequalities, including intersectional inequalities in health, disease, psychosocial, socioeconomic, and other outcomes. I-MAIHDA and related MAIHDA approaches have conceptual and methodological advantages over conventional single-level regression analys

Many types of microneedle (MN) arrays have been tested for delivery of vaccines to the skin. However, the effect of MN geometry/array design on antibody production is still unclear. Reports suggest that systemic immune responses may be affected by how MN arrays “mechanically” deliver vaccines, which can induce cell damage and act as an adjuvant. This includes parameters such as MN length/insertion

Samples of Fucus serratus and Fucusvesiculosus taken in Swedish coastal waters have beenanalysed for Gd by ICP-MS. The results for one site withfrequent sampling show significantly increasing levelsduring the last 30 years, most likely a result of theincreasing use of Gd-containing contrast agents for MR-imaging at hospitals and other health care institutions.Samples taken at the west-, south- and

ObjectivesThis study measures public health policies' and healthcare system's influence, by assessing the contributions of avoidable deaths, on the gender gaps in life expectancy and disparity (GGLD and GGLD, respectively) in the United States (US) and Canada from 2001 to 2019.MethodsTo estimate the GGLE and GGLD, we retrieved age- and sex-specific causes of death from the World Health Organizatio
