Background: Stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rank among the leading causes of mortality. Physical activity and exercise are recommended as part of rehabilitation after AMI to prevent cardiovascular events, but the importance for stroke prevention has not been investigated using population-based data. Objectives: To determine associations between participation in exercise-based cardiac
This study aimed to obtain high-resolution 3D isotropic turbo spin-echo (TSE) wrist MRI acquisitions at 7T, with and without fat suppression, facilitated by compressed-sensing (CS) acceleration. In 16 healthy subjects, fat-suppressed (FS) and nonfat-suppressed (NFS) TSE wrist images were obtained. The protocol consisted of a SENSE-accelerated scan, with an isotropic voxel size of 0.45 mm and acqui
Background: Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of such cangrelor treatment during PCI in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Met
ObjectivesSexual satisfaction is a crucial part of sexual health and is positively related to well-being and quality of life. However, there are at present no composite measures of sexual satisfaction available in Swedish. The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale – Short form (NSSS-S) is a measure of sexual satisfaction that has been validated in multiple languages, and the aim of the present study is toObjectivesSexual satisfaction is a crucial part of sexual health and is positively related to well-being and quality of life.

Background: Ultrafiltration (UF) insufficiency in peritoneal dialysis (PD) often leads to transfer to hemodialysis. Therefore, strategies to prolong time on therapy are needed. The use of a combined crystalloid and colloid solution, also called bimodal PD, can help improve UF. Methods: We propose a method for reconstituting bimodal solutions. Three bimodal PD solutions, with respectively 100 ml (s
SummaryElevated HDL-C levels are generally regarded as prognostically favorable in cardiovascular disease. Our study shows that higher HDL cholesterol levels are prospectively associated with 18% increased risk of new-onset fractures in men but not in women. Higher HDL cholesterol may be a novel risk factor for developing fractures in men.PurposeIncreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-
Background Long-term pathological breathlessness is a life-limiting symptom that risks taking control of the individual’s life. We aimed to evaluate how locus of control (LOC), an individual’s perceived control of present and past life events, relates to breathlessness in a middle-aged general population. Methods A population-based, cross-sectional analysis of people aged 50–64 years was conducted
Background and objective: Although cardiovascular toxicity from modern systemic treatments in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) remains a concern, real-world data are limited. We aimed to characterise patients treated for mHSPC across multiple large cohorts and estimate cardiovascular adverse event (AE) risks. Methods: Leveraging PIONEER's Big Data platform, with databases stand
Aim Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder with cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction where multiple and variable symptoms are common, including those from the peripheral and enteric nervous systems. We aimed to investigate subjective and objective signs of small and large fiber neuropathy in a Swedish POTS cohort compared with healthy controls. Secondly, we wanted to examin
Background: Alcohol intake increases recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes is less well characterized. We aimed to study the association between different levels of alcohol intake and cardiovascular outcomes in a global cohort of patients with AF. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the RE-LY AF registry, including 15,400 patients with
ObjectivesUncertainty among healthcare providers about patients’ ability to make care decisions is a barrier to shared decision-making. We aimed to assess the self-reported decision-making ability of patients with cancer at the end of life.MethodsData from 11 countries of adults with a limited life expectancy and cancer as the primary diagnosis were used. Participants completed a questionnaire, in
Background: Although it has been suggested that the hippocampus and amygdala (HA) are involved in the neurobiology of obsessive– compulsive disorder (OCD), volumetric findings have been inconsistent, and little work has been undertaken on the volumetry of the heterogeneous anatomic units of HA, with their specific functions and cytoarchitecture, in OCD. We sought to explore potential sources of he
Purpose The EPHOR-NIGHT cohort was established to investigate how night shift work influences biological pathways and chronic disease risk using a comprehensive working-life exposome approach, focusing on cardiometabolic, mental health, cognitive and biological ageing outcomes. Participant The cohort includes 937 workers aged 20–65 years (88%female), primarily from the healthcare sector (96%) in S
Background: Escalating resistance among Gram-negative pathogens limits β-lactam options. Cefepime/enmetazobactam combines a fourth-generation cephalosporin with a class A β-lactamase inhibitor. We evaluated its activity against multidrug, extensive and pandrug-resistant war-wound isolates from Ukraine.Materials and methods: We tested 215 clinical samples (2022-2023) isolated from wounded patients
A wideband, compact monopolar patch antenna with an inherent filtering response is presented in this paper. By employing a slot-assisted mode-tailoring technique, the field distributions of several higher-order modes at the patch center are engineered to produce a stable monopolar radiation pattern with enhanced bandwidth. The closed-form analysis indicates that increasing the current intensity at
Pluvial flood mapping is a common way to identify locations at risk of being flooded in connection with an extreme short-duration rainfall. As rainfall extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer climate, more and more cities and municipalities are performing pluvial flood mapping, in Sweden and elsewhere. Often a rainfall with a return period of 100–200 years is used in the mapping, and the ma

This study is concerned about the effects of brine discharge into the Arabian Gulf and desalination plants location also. The major concern is the Arabian coastline of the Gulf countries which started from Kuwait whole way to United Arab Emirates. Different scenarios for desalination plant and brine discharge management in the Arabian Gulf are discussed using mass balance computations. The Arabian
