BACKGROUND: The incidence of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) in long COVID has been a growing concern since the first cases were reported in 2021. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and clinical impact of POTS in a series of well-characterized patients with long COVID.METHODS: We prospectively analyzed 467 nonhospitalized, highly symptomatic (sick leave ≥50%) patie

Efter att kostnaderna för den svenska sjukförsäkringen skjutit i höjden vann bilden av de sjukskrivna som fuskare och inbillningssjuka mark i början av 2000-talet. Vad som inte kom fram i debatten var att antalet nya sjukskrivna faktiskt inte hade ökat särskilt mycket. Istället var det rehabiliteringsarbetet ute på arbetsplatserna som hade havererat, med allt längre långtidssjukskrivningar som res

Opioid substitution treatment (OST) is still controversial, despite positive results. The issue of diversion to the illicit drug market is a cornerstone in the criticism typically voiced against the treatment. Little research is available concerning how professionals who work in OST view the issue of diversion. In this article, we discuss existing ideas and attitudes toward diversion of methadone

Aims Methadone and buprenorphine diversion by patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST) is a poorly understood phenomenon. We study the norms and attitudes on diversion among OST patients, including the role these norms and attitudes play as diversion risk factors. We also study whether perceived quality of care, social bonds to treatment staff, and deterrence can be associated with diversio

Läkemedelsassisterad rehabilitering (LAR) med metadon eller buprenorfin är idag den vanligaste behandlingsmetoden vid opioidberoende. LAR har starkt forskningsstöd, men är trots detta kontroversiell. Detta hänger bland annat samman med att det finns en rad avigsidor och risker knutna till metoden. I artikeln diskuteras de vanligaste invändningarna mot och riskerna med metoden. De områden som berör

Timber buildings present unique fire safety challenges compared to non-combustible constructions. Fire damage in timber structures includes smoke, heat-related impacts and firefighting water. Effective fire mitigation strategies, such as smoke detection systems, automatic suppression systems, and compartmentation, can be crucial for enabling timely interventions and minimizing damages. Post-fire r

This essay addresses the urgent need for transformative action in environmental governance by exploring the role and essential functionality of environmental auditing. While critical scholarship has questioned the overemphasis on reporting in both research and practice, this essay promotes the obligation on critical accountants and auditing researchers to actively debate and develop the concept of

Timber’s sustainability benefits make it an attractive construction material, but public concerns about fire safety remain a challenge. Many associate timber buildings with higher fire risks, particularly in taller structures, despite trusting regulations and professionals to ensure safety. This highlights a gap between public perception and technical knowledge. Designers have a professional respo

Electric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement. While previous research argues that electrification challenges existing procurement practices and strategies, the aim of the paper is to contribute new knowledge on the role of public procurement in the transition to electric buses andElectric buses are increasingly popular in public transport systems globally, and in many European contexts, this transition takes place through public procurement.
