Aims: The population of immigrants from the Middle East in Sweden show a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to native Swedes. The exact reason for this is unknown. Here, we have performed metabolite profiling to investigate these differences. Methods: Metabolite profiling was conducted in Iraqi immigrants (n = 93) and native Swedes (n = 77) using two complementary mass spectrometr
Nanosized spherical copper particle embedded on oxide matrix (Cunp-Cu2O/SiO2) is synthesized from a low cost chalcopyrite concentrate. The concentrate is reduced by hydrogen at 1323 K, followed by acid leaching to produce Cunp-Cu2O/SiO2. Powder X-ray diffraction confirms the formation of metallic copper as the principal phase along with oxides of silicon and copper. The weight fractions of Cu, SiO
Objectives The aim of this research is to study education, income and immigration as risk factors for high hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c >70 mmol/mol (8.6%)) when diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D) or latent autoimmune diabetes in the adult (LADA). Research design and methods Patients were included from the All New Diabetics in Scania study (2008-2013). Level of education, disposable income and immigrat
Background: Circulating concentrations of biomarkers that are related to Vitamin status vary by factors such as diet, fortification, and supplement use. Published biomarker concentrations have also been influenced by the variation across laboratories, which complicates a comparison of results from different studies. Objective: We robustly and comprehensively assessed differences in biomarkers that
Introduction: Airway obstruction and possible concomitant pulmonary diseases in COPD cannot be identified conventionally with any single diagnostic tool. We aimed to diagnose and grade COPD severity and identify pulmonary comorbidities associated with COPD with ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (V/P SPECT) using Technegas as the functional ventilation imaging agent.
Vitamin D insufficiency is common, correctable, and influenced by genetic factors, and it has been associated with risk of several diseases. We sought to identify low-frequency genetic variants that strongly increase the risk of vitamin D insufficiency and tested their effect on risk of multiple sclerosis, a disease influenced by low vitamin D concentrations. We used whole-genome sequencing data f
OBJECTIVE: /st> To investigate the effect of tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on sick leave (SL) and disability pension (DP) in a population-based setting in southern Sweden. METHODS: /st> All patients with RA in the South Swedish Arthritis Treatment Group register living in the county of Skåne (population 1.2 million), who started their
BACKGROUND: Reduced forced expiratory volume (FEV(1)) and forced vital capacity (FVC) are risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. However, the relationship with incidence of heart failure (HF) is incompletely known. This population-based study explored whether reduced FEV(1) or FVC is associated with the incidence of hospitalisation for HF. METHODS: 20 998 men (mean age 43 years) w
Objective. To evaluate the effects on neonatal morbidity of a regional change in induction policy for post-term pregnancy from 43(+0) to 42(+0) gestational weeks (GWs). Design and setting. Nationwide retrospective register study between 2000 and 2007. Population. All singleton pregnancies with a gestational age of >41(+2) GW (n= 119,198). Methods. All Swedish counties were divided into three group
Objective To study the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) treated in primary health care with warfarin or acetylsalicylic acid (ASA, aspirin). Methods The study population included subjects (n = 12,283) 45 years or older diagnosed with AF who were treated in 75 primary care centres in Sweden between 2001 and 2007. MI was defined as a hospital stay for MI d
Objectives: To explore chimney sweeping work tasks, chimney sweeps’ use of protective equipment, and type of fuel used by clients, over time. Further, to assess work-relatedness of current eye and airway symptoms. Methods: In a cross-sectional study in 2011, male Swedish chimney sweeps (n = 483; age 21–69 years) answered a questionnaire about their occupational history and eye and airway symptoms.
Objectives: Various outcomes of cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) therapy have been observed in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). It is not clear whether the duration of treatment, type of ChEI, or dose affect mortality. We aimed to investigate the association between ChEI therapy and patient survival. Methods: The Swedish Alzheimer Treatment Study (SATS) is a prospective, observational, multicentre study t
Our aim was to study the association between country of birth and incidence of gout in different immigrant groups in Sweden. The study population included the whole population of Sweden. Gout was defined as having at least one registered diagnosis in the National Patient Register. The association between incidence of gout and country of birth was assessed by Cox regression, with hazard ratios (HRs
Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to strengthen the validity of future findings in the Laparoscopic Prostatectomy Robot Open (LAPPRO) study by investigating the extent of interobserver variability between local pathologists and re-evaluating reference pathologists. Material and methods. LAPPRO is a Swedish prospective study comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy to open re
Objective To determine the risk of people with mental disorders being victims of homicide. Design National cohort study. Setting Sweden. Participants Entire adult population (n=7 253 516). Main outcome measures Homicidal death during eight years of follow-up (2001-08); hazard ratios for the association between mental disorders and homicidal death, with adjustment for sociodemographic confounders;
Objective: The Intermittent and Constant Osteoarthritis (OA) Pain (ICOAP) questionnaire evaluates the constructs of 'intermittent' and 'constant' pain. Theses are conceptually different from 'pain on activity' and pain 'intensity' as measured by the WOMAC and Chronic Pain Grade (CPG), measures commonly used in OA. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness of the ICOAP, and diffe

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt fler människor drabbas av cancer, som idag är den ledande dödsorsaken globalt. De vanligaste cancerformerna i världen är lungcancer, bröstcancer och tjocktarmscancer och det är störst risk att dö i lungcancer, levercancer och magcancer. Även i Sverige ökar antalet cancerfall, till stor del på grund av att vi lever allt längre och cancer är idag en av våra stora folCancer incidence is increasing and it is the number one cause of death worldwide. Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease and there is a great need for new early diagnostic, prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers in order to improve patient outcomes. The RNA-binding motif protein 3, RBM3, is an emerging candidate biomarker of favourable prognosis and treatment response in several types of
