Compression neuropathies (CN) in the upper extremity, the most common being carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE), are frequent among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Earlier studies have shown contradicting results regarding DM as a risk factor for CN. Thus, the aim of the present population-based, longitudinal study was to explore potential associations between DM, C

Half way review for SWEAH PhD student Agata Yadav. Socio-economic vulnerability in later life, such as having a low pension or residing in a deprived neighbourhood, is associated with reduced coping abilities and increased deprivation risks.  However, research on housing and health dynamics for older adults with socio-economic vulnerability is lacking.  One of Agata Yadav´s studies showed that mos

This study explains how older people experienced and managed everyday life during the first 100 days of the coronavirus pandemic. The findings showed how doing was adapted and changed, how the pandemic gave opportunities for being and appreciating the moment, but that possibilities for becoming and developing were severely restricted, and the sense of belonging was disrupted, which seemed to influ

​​​​​​​How can we navigate both the challenges and opportunities in the energy system due to the increasing use of electric vehicles? Smart electric vehicle charging and user flexibility have been proposed as potential remedies for future imbalances in energy consumption, but the success of such remedies requires close collaboration between users and system operators. A study shows that while user

We examined all death certificates (DCs, n=2 01 488) in adults recorded in the Skåne region during 1998–2014. We identified all fall deaths using International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes (W00-W19) and calculated the mortality rates by age and sex. Temporal trends were evaluated using joinpoint regression and associated causes were identified by age-adjusted and sex-adjus

Cerebral microbleeds (CMB) on MRI are frequent in healthy aging individuals but precede ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke and dementia. Different etiologies have been suggested for nonlobar CMB, which have a stronger connection to hypertension (HT) than do lobar CMB. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of CMB and the association between nonlobar/lobar CMB and different blood pressure (BP)

The 1918 influenza pandemic had not only a massive instant death toll but also lasting effects on its survivors. Several studies have shown that children born in 1919, and thus exposed to the H1N1 virus in utero, experienced worse health and socioeconomic outcomes in older ages than surrounding birth cohorts. New publication in Demography.Read more here.

Obesity defined as increased BMI is commonly associated with higher revision rates following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We examined the effect of BMI on the rate of revision after TKA, for both infection and other reasons, and analyzed weight and height separately to provide better understanding of the risk profile.
