The Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis (SEAS) clinical trial, including 1,873 patients found an increased risk for cancer with lipid-lowering therapy with ezetimibe/simvastatin 10/40 mg/day, relative to placebo. In a registry-based follow-up study over 21 months from the conclusion of the SEAS trial, new incident cancer and total mortality were investigated in the SEAS study cohort from

Fire regimes across the world are expected to be altered by continuing variations in socio-economic conditions and climate. Current global fire-vegetation models are able to represent the present-day fire activity, but it is unclear how well they can simulate past or future scenarios. Here we use sedimentary charcoal-based biomass burning reconstructions to evaluate fire probability and total carb

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a prevalent and impairing psychiatric condition that typically debuts in adolescence and is associated with risky behaviours. The disorder can be effectively treated with cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). However, CBT for BDD is seldom available primarily due to a shortage of trained therapists. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) can be a way to increase treatment ava

Background/aim: Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium cause human infections including bacteraemia and infective endocarditis (IE). Only few studies describing non-faecalis and non-faecium Enterococcus (NFE) infections have been conducted. We aimed to describe the incidence, prognosis, and focus of infection of bacteraemia with NFE. Methods: This retrospective population-based study inclu

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) in cardiac cohorts. Less is known regarding the magnitude of this association in a sleep clinic cohort with vs. without excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Objectives: To explore the association of OSA severity with AF in a sleep clinic cohort stratified by EDS. Patients and methods: All consecutive adults (n = 3

Dendrometers offer valuable insights into how tree growth responds to climatic variables and physiological processes over the course of a year. Yet, their applicability to extremely slow-growing trees, such as those in peatlands, has been limited due to the intricate and slow nature of growth, therefore rendering interpretation of results complex. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive monito

The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) has pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic effects. Low plasma levels of soluble RAGE (sRAGE), a decoy receptor for RAGE ligands, have been associated with increased risk for major adverse coronary events (MACE) in the general population. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify genetic determinants of plasma sRAGE in 4338 indivi

Background: The recent guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology recommends using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) in either 0/1-h or 0/2-h algorithms to identify or rule out acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Several studies have reported good diagnostic accuracy with both algorithms, but few have compared the algorithms directly. Objective: We aimed to compare the diagnostic a

CONTEXT: The 2 peaks of type 1 diabetes incidence occur during early childhood and puberty.OBJECTIVE: We sought to better understand the relationship between puberty, islet autoimmunity, and type 1 diabetes.METHODS: The relationships between puberty, islet autoimmunity, and progression to type 1 diabetes were investigated prospectively in children followed in The Environmental Determinants of Diab

Hur kan fastighetssektorn förverkliga EU:s hållbarhetsinitiativ? Vad tänker du på när du hör ordet hållbarhetsrapportering? Färgglada rapporter med fina bilder? Starkt hållbarhetsarbete? Litar du på innehållet som skrivs ut? EU strävar efter att vara den ledande regionen inom hållbarhet, där det finns ett särskilt fokus på hållbara finanser och hållbarhetsrapportering. Ett nytt direktiv för hållbThe European Union constantly strives to improve sustainability work in the region, where one of the focus areas is to maintain economic growth, while reducing the negative environmental impact, and improving social aspects and corporate governance. A new directive (CSRD) and reporting standard (ESRS) for sustainability reporting has been launched, which aims to strengthen the rules around the sus

Dricksvatten är en viktig resurs i Sverige och bör vara tillgänglig varje dag. Problemet uppstår när vi måste välja mellan att bevara natursand och att säkerställa rent dricksvatten. Därför vill Sydvatten undersöka hur väl bergkross kan fungera som filtermedium. Vombverket är ett vattenverk som använder bassänginfiltration för att skapa konstgjort grundvatten. De har byggt flera dammar med filter

The aim with this project was to improve the workspace of activity based offices. In the aftermath of Covid-19, people working remote gave companies the possibility to create smaller offices with shared spaces. This removed the customizable workspace for the employees as they found themselves trying to find a new desk each day which suits them, and there for creating a hostile environment with no

Today, social media offers new possible tools for organizing and spreading political messages than in the past, changing the way activism can take shape and thereby producing new forms of records. These records make up an important part of today’s history and therefore should be preserved for the future. However, despite the possibilities that social media offers, commercial social media platforms

Den svenska rätten innehåller regler om rättskraft, vilket innebär att samma sak inte ska prövas på nytt och syftar till att ge parterna förutsebarhet och trygghet. Vad som anses utgöra sakens identitet är omdiskuterat och flera olika teorier har presenterats inom den juridiska litteraturen. Enligt mig kan rättskraftens omfång och samma sak sammanfattas enligt följande kumulativa kriterier: i) väs

Through the tight link between plants and their pollinators, plant species often decline when their pollinators decline and vice versa. These nominal declines are well studied for many plant-pollinator networks. Less well known is the effect that the decline of a plant species has on the behaviour of its pollinators, and how potential changes in pollinator behaviour affect the reproductive success
