PURPOSE: Postoperative hypocalcaemia has been reported to be more common after total thyroidectomy (TT) for Graves' disease than after TT for benign atoxic multinodular goitre (MNG). The reasons for this potential association are not clear. In the present study, the frequency and risk factors of hypocalcaemia after TT for Graves' vs MNG were compared. METHODS: Between January 1999 and October 2009

Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains anchored to core proteins form proteoglycans, widely distributed cell-surface macromolecules with multiple functions, such as regulation of growth factor and cytokine signaling, cell-cell interactions, and uptake of biomolecules. The biosynthesis of GAG can be manipulated by xylosides attached to various hydrophobic groups, and we have earlier reported that a naphtho

BACKGROUND:: Few and inconclusive results have been presented regarding the influence of human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1) infection on the risk of acquiring tuberculosis (TB). METHODS:: In 1994-1997, we performed a prospective study on hospitalized adult patients with pulmonary TB in Guinea-Bissau and compared the clinical outcome in HIV-2 and HIV-negative patients. We determined the prevalen

BACKGROUND: Twin studies have been criticized for upwardly biased estimates that might contribute to the missing heritability problem.METHOD: We identified, from the general Swedish population born 1960-1990, informative sibships containing a proband, one reared-together full- or half-sibling and a full-, step- or half-sibling with varying degrees of childhood cohabitation with the proband. Estima

PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to develop a new family of test algorithms for computerized static threshold perimetry which significantly reduces test time without any reduction of data quality.METHODS: A comprehensive visual field model constructed from available knowledge of normal and glaucomatous visual fields is continuously updated during testing. The model produces threshold estimate

OBJECTIVE: It has been proposed that remission should be maintained throughout the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA); however, the evidence supporting this is limited. Physical function measured by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) is a major outcome in RA, and HAQ is shown to be one of the strongest predictors of longterm outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physic

Total hip replacement (THR) is an effective intervention with a good cost/benefit ratio. Worldwide, each year it brings relief in the form of improved function and decreased pain to at least half a million patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA). Since the introduction by Charnley more than 30 years ago, the basic concept remains much the same, but with a multitude of changes in details of surgic

The influential scholar Ulrich Luz rejects the view of the Gospel of Matthew as an ancient biography, since he does not find any information about the education or the development of Jesus in the narrative from chapter 3. This conclusion does not give a fair description of neither ancient biographies in general nor the Gospel of Matthew in particular. Matthew actually picks up important themes in

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal subtype of ovarian cancer and remains a major clinical challenge due to frequent late diagnosis and limited treatment options. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of targeting the oncogenic interaction between metadherin (MTDH) and staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) which are proteins known to promote tumor p

India's buildings sector accounts for 41% of national electricity consumption, yet studies incorporating calibrated whole-building energy simulation with thermal comfort evaluation of manufacturing facilities to reduce the industry’s electricity consumption remain scarce, leaving designers without evidence to prioritise passive strategies for this building typology. This study characterises th

High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is accompanied by an immune-rich but heterogenous tumor microenvironment. Although tumor associated tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are linked to favourable antitumor immunity, B cells may also adopt spatial distribution patterns favourable for immune suppression. This study evaluated whether the abundance and spatial distribution patterns of CD20+ B cel

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
