Heterogeneous patterns of genomic differentiation are commonly documented between closely related populations and there is considerable interest in identifying factors that contribute to their formation. These factors could include genomic features (e.g., areas of low recombination) that promote processes like linked selection (positive or purifying selection that affects linked neutral sites) at

Purpose: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of retinal detachment (RD) and bacterial endophthalmitis in a cohort of children who underwent cataract surgery before the age of eight. Methods: Data was retrieved from the Swedish national paediatric cataract register. All eyes with congenital or infantile cataract that underwent surgery between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2023 with at

Background and purpose: The CardioSwitch-study demonstrated that patients with solid tumors who develop cardiotoxicity on capecitabine or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) treatment can be safely switched to S-1, an alternative fluoropyrimidine (FP). In light of the European Medicines Agency approval of S-1 in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), this analysis provides more detailed safety and efficacy inform

Background: Non-β-hemolytic streptococci (NBHS) cause blood stream infections (BSI) which can be complicated by infective endocarditis (IE). To stratify the risk for IE in NBHS BSI and to guide the use of echocardiography in this condition, two risk stratification systems (RSSs), the HANDOC score (HANDOC), and the Chamat-Hedemand algorithm (CH-A) have been developed.Objectives: To compare the sens

Purpose: This paper aims to explore Swedish municipalities’ adoption of politically decided goals and targets, within the budget document, that are formulated for the accounting unit of the municipal group. Design/methodology/approach: A regression analysis of the adoption of financial and non-financial performance measurement by 289 Swedish municipalities was performed, including eight independen

Study region: The Brazilian wooded Cerrado biome is a tropical savanna, over 50 % of which has been converted to agricultural land. Study focus: We evaluated changes in water balance variables (surface flux, evaporation, soil-water storage, infiltration, groundwater recharge, and root uptake) due to climate change. The study included (i) calibration and validation of the Hydrus model through obser

Disinhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway has been observed in patients with loss-of-function variants in the disheveled, Egl-10, and pleckstrin domain-containing protein 5 (DEPDC5), and nitrogen permease regulator-like proteins 2 and 3 (NPRL2, and NPRL3) genes, which encode the components of GTPase activating protein Activity Toward Rags Complex 1 (GATOR1) complex. Evero

Access is the process of establishing rapport with a field containing different phases without an articulated end. Qualitative research often involves studying people in their social setting, documenting action, and meaning making in relation to the field in which it occurs through ethnographic methods such as observations, shadowing, and interviews. Gaining permission to a site or a specific grou

IntroductionWhile smoking has been consistently identified as a significant contributor to postoperative complications, the existing literature on its association with postoperative pulmonary complications remains conflicting.AimWe examined the association of preoperative smoking with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).MethodsPost hoc analysis of an observational study

BackgroundPreliminary results from the SNAP trial presented at ESCMID Global 2025 reported a high incidence (19.8%) of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients treated with (flu)cloxacillin for Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB).ObjectiveIn Sweden, cloxacillin is used at lower daily doses, and the risk of nephrotoxicity has not been assessed in this setting.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated re

Background Inversions involving intron 22 (Inv22) of the F8 gene are detected in approximately 45% of all severe hemophilia A (HA) patients. Digital droplet polymerase chain reaction using milepost assays and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) allows robust diagnosis of inversions, copy number variations, and more complex rearrangements in F8 . Objectives A total of 350 HA pat

Background: The Peritoneal Cancer Index recorded at laparotomy is based on visual and palpable inspection of peritoneal surfaces for disease. This study aimed to analyze interobserver variation in assigning the lesion score (LS) and morphologic term (MT) to characterize peritoneal lesions (PL) and predict the probability of malignancy (POM) among surgeons with expertise in cytoreductive surgery (C

Background The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine autoantibody positive individuals and define: (a) the relative risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with autoantibody negative individuals and (b) the cumulative incidence of RA over time, in different populations. Methods A systematic literature search was performed in August 2025. Retrospective case control studi

Even if much is known regarding the effects of internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) for depression there are several topics that have not been studied. In this factorial design trial with 197 participants we investigated if clients in ICBT could select treatment modules themselves based on a selection of 15 tailored treatment modules developed for use in ICBT for depression. We co

Breastfeeding confers a wide range of benefits to mothers and children, and in many contextsmay continue for several years after the birth of a child. As a result, breastfeeding duringpregnancy (BDP) is a common occurrence throughout low- and middle-income countries.Nevertheless, yet there has been little research into its association with the health of breastfedchildren or the outcomes of the pre

Polypharmacy increases the risk of drug-drug interactions that may disturb treatment effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of codispensing of potentially interacting or contraindicated drugs related to PH-specific treatment in the Swedish pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) population. All prescribed drugs, on an

Objective: Fatigue is one of the most prevalent and distressing symptoms reported by survivors of childhood cancer. There is currently a lack of longitudinal studies on cancer-related fatigue, and especially on the relationship between the course of fatigue during treatment and fatigue at follow-up. The purpose of the current study was therefore to investigate if the course of fatigue during treat

Background: An understudied variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the behavioral/dysexecutive variant of AD (bvAD), is associated with progressive personality, behavior, and/or executive dysfunction and frontal atrophy. Objective: This study characterizes the neuropsychological and neuroanatomical features associated with bvAD by comparing it to behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), a
