Background: Emerging evidence indicates that gut inflammatory and immune response play a key role in the pathophysiology of stroke and may become a promising therapeutic target. However, the specific role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in poststroke aphasia (PSA) patients remains unclear. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships among the gut microbiota, neuroendocr

We seek to clarify the impact of the Genetic Aptitude for Educational Attainment (GAEA) on risk for 10 psychiatric disorders divided into 4 groups: Internalizing, Externalizing, Eating/Compulsive and Psychotic. Educational attainment and psychiatric and substance use disorder information were obtained from national Swedish registries. GAEA and disorder-specific family genetic risk score (FGRS) wer

The understanding of genomics has improved tremendously during the last decades. The concept of recovery and outcome after stroke has also progressed during this time. However, the connection between genomics and stroke recovery has only begun to emerge in a more structural and comprehensive way. Different types of outcomes and recovery occur after stroke. This depends on domain of neurological de

Introduction: Inflammatory diseases have been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, data on VTE is lacking in large population-based cohorts of microscopic colitis (MC). Methods: This study included all Swedish adults with incident MC without prior VTE (1990-2017; n=12,489; follow-up until 2021). MC and subtypes (collagenous colitis and lymphocytic colitis) were

Porous anodic alumina (PAA) can be used as a template for controlled electrodeposition and growth of nano-structures, it is also essential for long-lasting decorative coloring of aluminum. We have investigated the deposition of Sn nanopillars into PAA in-situ, with Grazing transmission small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray fluorescence and X-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy. An accumu

Large gulls are generalist predators that play an important role in Arctic food webs. Describing the migratory patterns and phenology of these predators is essential to understanding how Arctic ecosystems function. However, from all six large Arctic gull taxa, including three long-distance migrants, to date seasonal movements have been studied only in three and with small sample sizes. To document

Background World economies increasingly rely on non-standard employment arrangements, which has been linked to ill health. While work and employment conditions are recognized structural determinants of health and health equity, policies aiming to protect workers from negative implications predominantly focus on standard employment arrangements and the needs of workers in non-standard employment ma

Introduction: Multidrug resistance (MDR) has been identified in wound bacterial isolates from Ukrainian war victims treated in Ukraine and across Europe. ILP100, a drug candidate for the treatment of skin wounds, is composed of a Limosilactobacillus reuteri expressing human chemokine CXCL12. In this study, the antimicrobial effects of ILP100 were tested on MDR bacteria isolated from wounds of Ukra

OBJECTIVES: To compare the implementation of a co-created evidence-based injury prevention intervention with an existing program in youth team handball.DESIGN: Pragmatic two-armed cluster-randomized controlled trial, conducted collaboratively with the Swedish Handball Federation.METHODS: Eighteen clubs offering handball for female and male youth players (aged 12-16 years) were allocated randomly (

BACKGROUND: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a critical role in neuronal development and neural connectivity, and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). However, its predictive value for MDD onset remains unclear. This study examined whether baseline BDNF levels are associated with incident MDD in middle-aged women.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health challenge, with financial and health impacts extending beyond treatment. Both the perspective adopted in cost-effectiveness analyses-which critically determines choices such as the inclusion of patient-incurred costs-and the extent to which long-term post-treatment considerations are incorporated have important policy implications. This study examine

OBJECTIVE: To examine long-term diabetes risk after preterm delivery or hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in a large population-based cohort. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included all women with a singleton delivery in Sweden during 1973–2015 and no preexisting diabetes mellitus. Participants were followed up for development of type 2 diabetes identified from nationwide outpatient an
