Background: The link between colorectal cancer (CRC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) has been extensively studied. Although it is commonly accepted that T2D is a risk factor for CRC, the underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Research Design and Methods:Given that the genetic background contributes to both traits, it is conceivable that genetic variants associated with T2D may also
Abstract Objective. The aim of this study was to validate externally the Swedish Lund-Malmö revised creatinine-based glomerular filtration rate (GFR) equations (LM Revised) in a Swedish cohort in comparison with the North American Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) equations. Material and methods. The study included 1397 examinations [med
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice there is need for a simple and reliable test for determination of impaired renal function. With reductions in GFR, the plasma cystatin C concentration (C, mg/l) will increase earlier than serum creatinine, and it is generally agreed that plasma cystatin C is only little affected by body weight, age or sex. However, some reports indicate that cystatin C may be influ
Objective: The concentration of the complex between activated protein C (APC) and protein C inhibitor (PCI) is a measure of thrombin generation. We studied whether it can provide information useful for the diagnosis and treatment of arterial vascular disease. Methods: Blood was obtained from 429 vascular patients admitted consecutively during September 2004 to March 2005. The APC-PCI complex was m
Popular Abstract in Swedish Missbrukande kvinnor och mammor har ofta fördömts av samhället och av människor i sin omgivning. De har setts som ansvarslösa kvinnor och olämpliga mammor utifrån en samhällssyn, att barn och missbruk inte går ihop. De livshistoriska intervjuerna med missbrukande kvinnor och mammor, som avhandlingen bygger på visar, att kvinnorna både vill vara respektabla och ta väl haThe aim of the dissertation is to describe the conditions under which substance abusing women live with regard to their families, the substance abuse and treatment. The interaction between the substance abusing women and the institutional expectations is analysed from gender and class perspective. The dissertation is based on interviews with two groups of substance abusing women: 12 mothers, livin

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains a controversial entity. Specific clusters of MetS components - rather than MetS per se - are associated with accelerated arterial ageing and with cardiovascular (CV) events. To investigate whether the distribution of clusters of MetS components differed cross-culturally, we studied 34,821 subjects from 12 cohorts from 10 European countries and one coho
Objectives To study clinical predictors for radiographic progression after 1 year in an early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) trial. Methods In the SWEFOT trial population, disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) naive RA patients started methotrexate; 3-month responders (DAS28 <3.2) continued (n=147), while non-responders were randomised to addition of sulfasalazine +hydroxychloroquine (n=130) or

Background: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is increasingly common. However, its metabolic determinants are poorly known. This study aims to determine which metabolic and inflammatory features predict DD in initially healthy adults. Methods: We prospectively analyzed the association between metabolic features and DD in 728 initially healthy adults aged 30–60 from Eastern France enrolled in the STANISLA
The effect of future changes in temperature and precipitation patterns on arctic ecosystem functioning is often assessed using state-of-the-art ecosystem models. Many models however lack detailed representation of wintertime processes, as pointed out by recent studies (Wang et al. 2016, Slater and Lawrence 2013). This bias may influence the derived outputs, such as soil temperature, permafrost ext
The aim of this thesis is to widen the research field of archival law in relation to the new technological opportunities that have been created regarding personal information such as DNA. This is done by the study of the three most influential and popular biotechnical companies that are currently offering their services in Sweden.

Lunds Klimatallians har ambitioner att hjälpa sina medlemmar arbeta mot en hållbar utveckling och letar efter nya metoder för att förbättra sin insats. Lunds Klimatallians är en organisation som startades i initiativ av Lund Kommuns miljöstrategiska enhet i syfte att bidra till Sveriges genomförande av FN:s klimatmål. Målen ska leda världen mot en hållbar utveckling men i dagsläget finns hållbarheLund's Climate Alliance was initiated 2010 by the municipality of Lund, in southern Sweden, to support local climate adaptation and mitigation efforts. The purpose of this paper is to investigate what each member of Lund's Climate Alliance believes will be necessary to realize sustainability goals particular to their organization in the future. The study thereby points to new topics, activ
Undersökningen är indelad i två studier, studie 1 och studie 2. Syftet med studie 1 var att undersöka hur personal inom kommunal individ- och familjeomsorg och privat vårdkoncern värderade adjektiven i självskattningsformuläret Familjeklimat och om dessa uppfattades som positiva, neutrala eller negativa. I studie 2 som bestod av en klinisk och en icke-klinisk grupp undersöktes det om det gick att This research is based on two surveys, Study 1 and Study 2. The purpose of Study 1 was to find out how staff within municipal individual and family social service and private care groups valued adjectives in the Family Climate self-rating scale (Familjeklimat) and if they were perceived as positive, neutral or negative. In Study 2, consisting of a clinical and a non-clinical group, it was examined
Recent years intensive measures of land-based emissions have increased the share contributed from ships and other marine activities. The main problem here is the nitrogen oxides emitted from today's fuel-optimized diesel engines used by the majority of ships. ABB Fläkt Marine is one of the very few companies that provides a solution to emissions on nitrogen oxides. This is made with a techniqu

Popular summary The fate of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs The knowledge about distribution of drugs between sewage sludge, water phases and water living organisms is vital for predictions of the fate and transport routes of toxic substances to the environment. And the distribution of drugs in the environment can be used as a base for risk assessments and it also can be used to define desir
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth
Background: The metabolic syndrome describes a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors that frequently appear together. Its diagnosis is generally based on several well-recognized indicators in clinical practice, such as abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein, raised blood pressure, and elevated fasting plasma glucose. Today, decisive importance must be attached
