Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has been linked to poor health, high stress and diminished quality of life. Previous findings about associations between IBS and cardiovascular disease are, however, contradictory. Our objective was to examine 10-year cardiovascular risk, lifestyle factors, and self-rated health in people with IBS compared to a reference group. Methods: Sweden's souther

Accessing high-spin configurations of transition metal phosphides defines a dividing line that prevents common properties of solid-state materials from being replicated within multiple-bonded molecular analogs. Here, we report the synthesis of a VIII phosphaethynolate complex, [(pyrNdipp)2V(PCO)] (2) in a halide metathesis with Na(OCP). Exposure of 2 to Lewis-basic ligands induces a one-electron r

Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is essential to monitor changes in the epidemiology of common fractures. Methods Our hospital serves a city in which year 2006 included 276,244 inhabitants (49,664 <17 years of age). Through the hospital archives, we identi

The imaging capabilities of an in-house X-ray setup for micro computed tomography, consisting of a photon-counting detector and a liquid target source, are reported here. The effect of the finite X-ray source spot size on the image resolution is measured using the slanted edge method at different sample-to-detector distances, and the energy response of the detector is probed using clinically relev

This study investigates how decision makers at the fire service responds to different types of information and how it can enhance fire service operations during incidents. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 47 incident commanders from three countries (Sweden, Finland and USA) to assess the influence of pre-planned, real-time, and predictive information on decision-making. The results i

This report has been prepared with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers by experts at HEUNI, Fafo and Lund university. The report is a response to a call by the Nordic Work Environment Committee in early 2024 seeking research on the relationship between labour market crime and work environment risks, with the aim of generating more knowledge and practical recommendations and solutions. The

Ultralow-cross-linked microgels serve as powerful model systems for investigating structure–rheology relationships in soft colloidal suspensions. Using precipitation polymerization, we obtain both self-cross-linked microgels with a weakly cross-linked core, surrounded by an ultrasoft corona (ULC), and regular cross-linked (RC) microgels. ULC microgel suspensions exhibit distinctive rheological res

Epigenome-wide studies of pancreatic islets provide valuable insights into type 2 diabetes (T2D) but lack methylomes from individual cell types. Here we show changes to alpha and beta cell-specific methylomes and transcriptomes from people with or without T2D, using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and RNA sequencing. We discover 22,544 differentially methylated regions annotated to 7,975 genes i

Background: Dementia is a growing public health concern, and although diet is a modifiable potential risk factor, the role of free sugar intake remains unclear. Excess sugar has been linked to metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction, both associated with cognitive decline, but evidence regarding specific sugar sources is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the associations betwee
