Association between endostatin and mortality in patients with acute dyspnoea, with or without congestive heart failure: a single-centre, prospective, observational study

Objective The aim of this study was to assess associations between endostatin levels and short-term mortality in unsorted acute hospitalised dyspnoea patients with or without congestive heart failure (CHF), adjusted for common cardiovascular risk factors.Design, setting and participants In this prospective observational study, 723 hospitalised patients who visited the emergency department at Skåne

An immuno-inflammatory profiling of asymptomatic individuals in a malaria endemic area in Uganda

Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum leads to the destruction of red blood cells (RBCs). A better understanding of how naturally immune individuals control infections should be valuable for future vaccine studies. Antibodies against RBCs and RBC surface antigens were measured together with different inflammatory markers in healthy adults living in a malaria endemic area of Uganda and compared t

Boendehygien i välfärdsstaden : Problematiseringar av bostadsfrågan i Malmö ca. 1900–1910

1911 beslöt stadsfullmäktige i Malmö enhälligt och utan debatt att införa en kommunal bostadsinspektion. I denna artikel undersöks bostadsinspektionens härkomst genom att följa olika problematiseringar som inspektion sades lösa hos stadens förvaltningar, den lokala arbetarrörelsen och Fredrika-Bremerförbunds-kretsen i Malmö. Undersökningen visar att urbana aktörer som delvis befann sig utanför par

Predicting recurrent cardiac arrest in individuals surviving Out-of-Hospital cardiac arrest

BACKGROUND: Despite improvements in short-term survival for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) in the past two decades, long-term survival is still not well studied. Furthermore, the contribution of different variables on long-term survival have not been fully investigated.AIM: Examine the 1-year prognosis of patients discharged from hospital after an OHCA. Furthermore, identify factors predict

β-Cell Function and Glucose Tolerance in Persons With Multiple Islet Autoantibodies Randomized to a Gluten-free Diet

PURPOSE: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on β-cell function and glucose tolerance in persons with multiple islet autoantibodies.METHODS: Individuals (n = 59; median age 11 years) with multiple islet autoantibodies were recruited to a randomized clinical trial between April 2016 and April 2021. The participants were randomized to a GFD (n

The association between non-motor symptoms and cost in Parkinson’s disease

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with substantial costs that escalate as the disease progresses. Previous research has explored the relationship between disease progression, motor symptoms, and the economic burden of PD. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the relationship between costs and non-motor symptoms (NMS). Objective: To examine t

Brain injury after cardiac arrest - the predictive information of computed tomography

Background and aimHypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in unconscious patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Many patients die after withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments (WLST), often due to a presumed poor prognosis. To minimise the risk of premature WLST, guidelines recommend using a multimodal prognostication. Head compute

Selection of Weather Files and Their Importance for Building Performance Simulations in the Light of Climate Change and Urban Heat Islands

Building performance predictions and their reliability rely heavily on weather data inputs. Climate is affected by spatial and temporal differences related to climate change and urban heat island effects, but the weather files used in building performance simulations (BPS) often remain unchanged and may represent weather observations generated from inadequate space and time for their application.

Detection of G Protein-Coupled Receptor Autoantibodies in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome Using Standard Methodology

BACKGROUND: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder of orthostatic intolerance that primarily affects women of childbearing age. The underlying pathophysiology of POTS is not fully understood, but it has been suggested that autoimmunity may play a role. The aim of this study was to compare concentrations of autoantibodies to cardiovascular G protein-coupled receptors between

Prevalence and treatment of hip displacement in children with cerebral palsy in Finland

Purpose: The aim was to study the prevalence of hip displacements, dislocations, and the hip surgeries performed in a Finnish cohort of children with cerebral palsy not followed up in a hip surveillance program and to compare these with previous studies performed in Northern European countries before and after the implementation of hip surveillance programs.Methods: A cross-sectional study. A coho

Differences in genetic risk score profiles for drug use disorder, major depression, and ADHD as a function of sex, age at onset, recurrence, mode of ascertainment, and treatment

Do genetic risk profiles for drug use disorder (DUD), major depression (MD), and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) differ substantially as a function of sex, age at onset (AAO), recurrence, mode of ascertainment, and treatment? Methods Family genetic risk scores (FGRS) for MD, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, alcohol use disorder, DUD, ADHD, and autism-spectrum dis

Arterial stiffness is associated with impaired orthostatic diastolic blood pressure reaction and increased central blood pressure: A prospective population‑based study

Background: Arterial stiffness is independently associated with orthostatic hypotension. We aimed to investigate the relationship between orthostatic blood pressure reaction and arterial stiffness as well as central hemodynamics in younger subjects from the general population.Methods: We analyzed a large prospective cohort study of 3756 individuals from the general population (mean age 41.9±14.5 y
