Background:Observational studies have mostly found no association between self-reported whole-grain (WG) intake and prostate cancer (PCa). Plasma alkylresorcinol metabolites have been suggested as biomarkers for WG intake in free-living populations. Methods:We investigated the major dietary and lifestyle determinants of plasma alkylresorcinol metabolites in a nested case-control study (1,016 cases
Precise statistics about crop types and productions can support establishing more efficient decisions in the food security framework. The applicability of remote sensing imagery has been confirmed worldwide in crop-related studies. In this chapter, time series Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images were integrated, along with crop inventory, to generate crop-type maps in Imperial County, CA, USA, within
Introduction: Residual cognitive deficits are commonly reported by individuals in remission from depression, often affecting daily life functioning and mental health. To provide tailored and personalized cognitive enhancement interventions for this population, there is a need for a better understanding of the characteristics of those who benefit from such interventions. Therefore, this study aimed
The number of people seeking help for mental illness is increasing across all ages, creating a major burden for individuals, families, and the society. While personalized medicine is advancing in other fields, diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders remain largely symptom-based and fail to capture individual, sex, and gender differences in risk, manifestation, and treatment response.

Purpose: Children gain increased health and well-being by participating in physical activity (PA) and exercise. Globally, only 19% of children meet the World Health Organisation recommendations on PA and the rates are even lower among children with disabilities. Children with disabilities are often dependent on assistive exercise products (AEP) to be able to perform PA and exercise. The aim was
The aggregation of amyloid proteins into fibrillar and oligomeric aggregates is linked to a number of neurodegenerative diseases. While the disease onset remains elusive in many cases, an understanding of the driving forces for the aggregation may help finding possible causes. While effects on amyloid formation kinetics are more commonly studied, gaining insights into these driving forces require
Why do some children in the developing world choose to stay out of school? Is it mainly because poverty leaves them with no options or because schooling seems to offer them few benefits? The answers to these questions have profound policy implications. An empirical input into this discussion is the extent to which schooling can actually be perceived as a profitable option in various countries and,
Amphiphilic graft copolymers were prepared via the radical copolymerization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) macromonomers with fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon acrylates in toluene with 2,2 ' -azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. H-1 NMR spectroscopy confirmed that the composition of the graft copolymers corresponded well to the monomer feed. For gel electrolytes prepared from the amphiphilic c
Alltsedan det kalla kriget slutade har försvarssektorn, framförallt militär logistik och försvarsmaterielanskaffning, genomgått en genomgripande transformation. Flera faktorer har bidragit till transformationen: förändringar i länders och organisationers försvars- och säkerhetspolitik; reducerade försvarsbudgetar; deltagande i fredsbevarande och fredsframtvingande operationer; erfarenheter från deSince the ending of the Cold War, the defence sector, particularly the areas of military logistics and defence acquisition, has been undergoing a comprehensive transformation. There are several factors that explain this transformation: changes in defence and security policies for nations and organisations; reductions in defence expenditure; participation in Peace Support Operations; Lessons Learne
OBJECTIVES: the purpose of this study was to assess the predictive accuracy of conventional cardiovascular risk factors for incident heart failure and atrial fibrillation, and the added benefit of multiple biomarkers reflecting diverse pathophysiological pathways. BACKGROUND: heart failure and atrial fibrillation are interrelated cardiac diseases associated with substantial morbidity and mortality
OBJECTIVES: The soluble epoxide hydrolase (gene name EPHX2) is responsible for metabolism of 8,9 11,12 and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, vasodilator and anti-inflammatory substances. There are several functional polymorphisms in the EPHX2 gene: two of them, the K55R and R287Q, showing an altered metabolic activity in vitro, were associated with coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke in prev
Background: Patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are commonly treated with steroid injection into or proximal to the carpal tunnel. However, evidence for its efficacy beyond one month has not been established in randomized placebo-controlled trials. The primary aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of steroid injection into the carpal tunnel in relieving symptoms
Dietary fats could affect glucose metabolism and obesity development and, thereby, may have a crucial role in the cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Studies indicated that replacing saturated with unsaturated fats might be favorable, and plant foods might be a better choice than animal foods. Nevertheless, epidemiologic studies suggested that dairy foods are protective.
Susceptibility to osteoporotic fracture is influenced by genetic factors that can be dissected by whole-genome linkage analysis in experimental animal crosses. The aim of this study was to characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for biomechanical and two-dimensional dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) phenotypes in reciprocal F2 crosses between diabetic GK and normo-glycemic F344 rat strain
Different kind of classifications system for distal radius fractures has been published for almost a century. Very few of these has been validated. AOs classification in its three main group has a good observer agreement and is quiet simple as so. A evidence based Swedish treatment algorithm is proposed and good uniform outcome score (DASH) is demonstrated.
To compare physical activity measures and their associations with insulin sensitivity, β-cell function and body mass index (BMI) between Iraqi immigrants and native Swedes.
Background: Activated microglia with macrophage-like functions invade and surround beta-amyloid (A beta) plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD), possibly contributing to the turnover of A beta, but they can also secrete proinflammatory factors that may be involved in the pathogenesis of AD. Microglia are known to modulate adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Objectives/Methods: To determine the role of mi
Introduction: Human body acceleration is often used as an indicator of daily physical activity in epidemiological research. Raw acceleration signals contain three basic components: movement, gravity, and noise. Separation of these becomes increasingly difficult during rotational movements. We aimed to evaluate five different methods (metrics) of processing acceleration signals on their ability to
