Background: Laryngo-pharyngeal reflux (LPR) is assumed to be the most common cause of posterior laryngitis (PL). Since LPR is found in healthy subjects, and PL patients are not improved by acid-reducing therapy, other aetiologies to PL must be considered. The aims of this study in PL were to investigate the prevalence of acid reflux in the proximal oesophagus and functional gastrointestinal sympto

The genetic causes of familial breast cancer are still unclear, where only less than 20% have evident germline mutations. Most studies focus on mutations that cause a direct impact in the protein, disregarding the synonymous variants, where the codon is changed but the amino acid encoded remains the same. Synonymous variants can affect mRNA stability and translation, by differences in codon usage
Due to the consistently high proportion of surgical site infections (SSI) after vascular surgery, a change of prophylactic antibiotic therapy from cloxacillin/cefotaxime to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) was conducted in 2016. The study included consecutive patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization due to acute or chronic lower extremity arterial disease. The antibiotic regime
Chagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is a parasitic infection caused by the triatomine bugs, commonly referred to as kissing bugs. It is the deadliest parasitic disease in South America but has spread beyond this region due to migration and climate change. Approximately 70 million people are at risk of infection, and there is no cure for the chronic phase of the disease. In prev
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Utvärdering av borrhålsloggar. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att göra en utvärdering av wireline borrhålsloggar från borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km öster om Staffanstorp i Skåne. Den undersökta delen av borrhålet Kyrkheddinge-4 befinner sig inom den potentiella reservoarsandstenen, Lundasandstenen. Wireline borrhålsloggar är geofysiska verktyg som används This study is an evaluation of formation characteristics, as derived from wire-line well logs, of the Lund Member in the borehole Kyrkheddinge-4, 3 km east of Staffanstorp, Skåne, Sweden, through the comparison to measured core data. The purpose is to assess the feasibility of using some of the porosity and permeability equations and cross-plots derived for the investigated section and applying th
Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two medical conditions involving the hip which affect the life quality of many people worldwide. These two diseases are diagnosed with 2D imaging by analysis of radiological measures, bone mineral density and joint space. Computed Tomography (CT) can provide 3D images of the hip, but has higher cost and imposes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Another op
Embryonic genome activation (EGA) is the first major step towards successful initiation of preimplantation development, which culminates in the formation of implantation-competent embryos. EGA occurs at species-specific embryonic cell stages. In the present work, EGA was identified for buffalo embryos by studying the development rate of embryos in normal as well as imposed transcription block cond
Background: The safety and efficacy of the Promus Element stent have been recently demonstrated in a selected population from one randomized trial. The aim of this study was to describe the initial clinical experience with the everolimus eluting platinum chromium stent (Promus Element) in unselected patients from a real life nationwide registry. Methods: The Promus Element DES was compared to all
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) have an increased risk of fractures. On the basis of small numbers, patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) have been reported to have an increased fracture risk. Using population-based data from Sweden, we assessed the risks of fractures in 5326 MGUS patients diagnosed from 1958 to 2006, compared with 20 161 matched controls. MGU
Aims/hypothesis Insulin autoantibodies (IAA) are important in type I diabetes risk assessment. However, their determination varies more between laboratories than other diabetes autoantibodies. The Diabetes Antibody Standardization Program (DASP) aims to improve and standardise measurement of autoantibodies associated with type I diabetes. We report the results of measurement of IAA from DASP works
AIMS: A history of preeclampsia is associated with at least a twofold increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), with unclear underlying mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate coronary plaque characteristics in women with a history of preeclampsia compared to women from the general population.METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, women with a history of preeclampsia from the Cardiovas
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Iron deficiency has been suggested as a potential mechanism for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) development due to involvement in neurotransmitter synthesis and transporter expression. As iron deficiency is particularly common in women of reproductive age, often due to heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), we aimed to explore the relationship between iron deficienc
Objective: To explore quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) in healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic in Switzerland. Methods: Women giving birth in Switzerland answered a validated online questionnaire including 40 WHO standards-based quality measures. QMNC score was calculated according to linguistic region and mode of birth. Differences were assessed using logistic regression
Background: Assessment of the quality of life (QoL) among healthcare workers (HCWs) is vital for better healthcare and is an essential indicator for competent health service delivery. Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic strike, the frontline position of HCWs subjected them to tremendous mental and psychological burden with a high risk of virus acquisition. Aim: This study evalua
Objective: To compare women's perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) around the time of childbirth across Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics 2 (NUTS-II) regions in Portugal during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Women participating in the cross-sectional IMAgiNE EURO study who gave birth in Portugal from March 1, 2020, to October 28, 2021, completed a structu
OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility and target engagement of high-dose, add-on pramipexole treatment in anhedonic depression.METHOD: In this open-label pilot study, we included 12 patients with unipolar or bipolar, moderate-to-severe depression and with significant anhedonia symptoms. All patients were on a stable dose of one or a combination of antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers and receiv
