Melanin-based color polymorphism is predicted to evolve and maintain through differential fitness of morphs in different environments, and several empirical studies indicate that life history strategies, physiology, and behavior vary among color morphs. Sex allocation theory predicts that parents should adjust their sex allocation based on differential costs of raising sons and daughters, and ther
BACKGROUND Recently, a technique has been developed to use magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) for the evaluation of small bowel motility. The hypothesis was that assessment of the motility index (MI) should reflect differences in motility between clinical conditions. AIM To aim of the present observational, cross-sectional study was to evaluate the use of the MI in daily clinical practice. METH
OBJECTIVE: Complement components, including C4d, can be found on activated platelets, a process associated with vascular disease in SLE. We investigated whether platelet C4d (PC4d) adds additional value to traditional and known lupus-associated risk factors when identifying SLE patients with vascular disease. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 308 well-characterized SLE patients and 308
OBJECTIVE: While existing evidence supports beneficial cardiovascular effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), emerging studies suggest that glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and/or signaling via the GIP receptor may have untoward cardiovascular effects. Indeed, recent studies show that fasting physiological GIP levels are associated with total mortality and cardiovascular mortalit
Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, affecting both maternal and fetal health. In genome-wide association meta-analysis of European and Central Asian mothers, we identify sequence variants that associate with preeclampsia in the maternal genome at ZNF831/20q13 and FTO/16q12. These are previously established variants for blood pressure (BP) and the FTO variant has also been associat
Aim: Extrauterine growth restriction is common among extremely preterm infants. We explored whether intake of unpasteurised maternal milk (MM) and pasteurised donor milk (DM) was associated with longitudinal growth outcomes and neonatal morbidities in extremely preterm infants. Methods: Observational study of 90 preterm infants born between 2013 and 2015 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Data were prospectiv
Aim: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling is frequently altered in invasive tumor cells and is associated with patient outcome. In the present study, we examined VEGF, VEGFR1, and VEGFR2 expression in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), and evaluated the association between VEGF and its receptors with disease characteristics and blad
Objective: Adipocyte hypertrophy has been suggested to be causally linked with inflammation and systemic insulin resistance. The aim of the study was to determine whether increased adipocyte size is associated with increased liver fat content due to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in humans independent of obesity, fat distribution and genetic variation in the patatin-like phospholipase do
Rubus vikensis A. Pedersen ex G. Wendt (sect. Corylifolii) was recently described from a restricted area in north western Scania, Sweden. In this investigation, I show that the same species occurs also on the Onsala peninsula in northern Halland and on a single locality in the middle of Halland. It has 35 chromosomes in all parts of the distribution area. Moreover, I show by random amplified polym
In this study we hypothesized that signs of atypical atrial activation would be associated with cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) response in patients with mildly symptomatic heart failure (CHF), left ventricular dysfunction, and wide QRS complex.
Background: Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) have haemostatic abnormities associated with bleeding and thrombo-embolic events. The haemostatic abnormalities are not fully understood, but recent studies indicate that elevated haematocrit and fibrinogen function may be of importance. The aim of this study was to characterise the haemostatic profile and examine the potential rol
The small leucine-rich proteoglycans fibromodulin and lumican are functionally related extracellular matrix proteins involved in the regulation of collagen fiber formation. Fibromodulin-deficient apolipoprotein E-null mice have decreased vascular retention of lipids and reduced development of atherosclerosis suggesting that fibromodulin may influence the disease process. The aim of the present stu
Background: Multimorbidity, i.e. two or more non-communicable diseases (NCDs), has been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), but whether multimorbidity is a predictor for incident VTE is unknown. Aims: To examine the associations between multimorbidity and its severity with risk of incident VTE, and examine the association between nine different disease clusters and incident VTE. Methods:
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis assesses the association between metabolic syndrome and breast cancer (BC) outcomes in BC survivors. Methods: Systematic searches were carried out in PubMed and Embase using variations of the search terms: breast neoplasms (population), metabolic syndrome (exposure), and survival (outcome). Metabolic syndrome was characterized according to the A

Visual assessment of medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTA) in the clinical workup of cognitive impairment is traditionally corrected for age since MTA increases with age. In addition, common pathologies in the elderly such as amyloid, tau, alpha-synuclein and TDP-43 accumulation as well as white matter hyperintensities representing small vessel disease may affect the association between MTA and age.

Objective: To examine the relationship of knee malalignment with occurrence of incident and enlarging bone marrow lesions (BMLs) and regression of BMLs. Methods: Subjects from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study aged 50-79 years with or at high risk of knee osteoarthritis were studied. Full-limb radiographs were taken at baseline and hip-knee-ankle mechanical axis was measured. Baseline and 30-mo
