Background-Although the heritability of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AF/AFl) has been determined, the familial risk in multiplex families is unclear. The main aim of this nationwide study was to determine the familial risk of AF/AFl in multiplex families. Methods and Results-We examined the familial risk of AF/AFl in the entire Swedish population. We linked Multigeneration Register data on
Background: Patients living under better socioeconomic circumstances often receive more active treatments after an acute myocardial infarction ( AMI) compared to less affluent patients. However, most previous studies were performed in countries with less comprehensive coverage for medical services. In this Swedish nation- wide longitudinal study we wanted to evaluate long- term survival after AMI
Objective We tested whether men and women in the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) high normal and normal blood pressure (BP) categories, all included in the the Seventh Joint National Committee (JNC 7) prehypertension group, share similar metabolic characteristics and whether they differ from men and women with optimal BP (<120/80 mmHg). Methods BP (multiple measurements with a standardized
Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 1-diabetes är en allvarlig, autoimmun, sjukdom och Sverige har världens näst högsta antal nya insjuknanden. Varje år diagnostiseras ca 700 individer i Sverige med sjukdomen som kan debutera i alla åldrar. Senare studier tyder dock på att barn med typ 1-diabetes blir allt yngre. Vi vet idag att ärftligheten är kopplad till en specifik gen vilket förklarar ca 30-50% aObjective The primary aim of this thesis was to test whether gestational exposure to environmental factors may induce islet autoimmunity. The second aim was to determine to what extent the exposure to viruses or other environmental factors is a risk factor for type 1 diabetes in the offspring. As children with type 1 diabetes have a higher risk of developing celiac disease (CD), an additional aim
Context: The European Association of Urology presents its guidelines for vasectomy. Vasectomy is highly effective, but problems can arise that are related to insufficient preoperative patient information, the surgical procedure, and postoperative follow-up. Objective: These guidelines aim to provide information and recommendations for physicians who perform vasectomies and to promote the provision

The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov
This report presents the work developing a modular sailboat interior system that offers an easy and affordable way for recreational sailors to customize the interiors of their sailboats according to their different and changing needs. Cruising sailboats are like floating houses or cottages, with the difference that the interior is permanent. They have a long product life and often last for decade
In past years, the demand for an indirect extraction of respiration and the interest in a joint study of respiratory and cardiac systems represented the driving forces for the development of Electrocardiogram Derived Respiration (EDR) algorithms. The main advantage of them consists in deriving a sufficiently reliable surrogate respiratory signal by only exploiting the normal electrocardiogram (ECG
Yogurt is an ancient food, used for a better preservation of milk. Milk gets fermented by Streptococcus thermophilicus and Lactobacillus bulgaricus (lactic acid bacteria, LAB) which converts the lactose present in the milk to lactic acid. These probiotics support the microbial population balance of the gastrointestinal tract. Sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas, is an important security crop in developi
I Sverige är det idag inte tillåtet med anonym vittnesbevisning från privatpersoner men detta kan komma att ändras i framtiden. Denna uppsats ämnar reda ut hur anonyma vittnesmål förhåller sig till centrala processuella principer i den svenska rätten samt vilken inverkan dessa vittnesmål skulle ha på rättssäkerheten i Sverige om de skulle bli tillåtna. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på vittnen i broCurrently Sweden doesn’t allow witnesses to appear in court anonymously although some factors indicate that this might be possible in the future. This thesis aims to examine the compatibility between anonymous witnesses and central principles in the Swedish court procedure. The thesis also intends to analyse the impact a new witness regulation, with the possibility to testify anonymously, would ha
Om den tilltalade inte har förstått innebörden av sin gärning och inte har kunnat anpassa sitt handlande därefter, anses personen vara otillräknelig. I de flesta andra rättsordningar innebär det att den tilltalade inte kan dömas för brott, men svensk rätt saknar ett krav på tillräknelighet sedan brottsbalken trädde i kraft 1965. Sverige intar en särställning genom att samtliga kan bli föremål för If the defendant has not understood the meaning of their act and has not been able to adapt their actions accordingly, the person is deemed legally non-imputable. In most other legal systems, this means that the defendant cannot be liable, but since the Criminal Code entered into force 1965, Swedish law lacks a demand for imputability. Sweden has a peculiar regulation on the matters and everyone c
Research on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. For instance, one could gain a bound orbit around the Sun if the right amount of nudge is acquired wh
The aim of this project is to transfer and implement a monoclonal antibody purification process that is traditionally done on an ÄKTAxpress to another machine called the ÄKTA pure. This is due to the fact that the ÄKTAxpress is being discontinued by the manufacturer and a replace-ment machine is needed for the time being. The project will include developing some new meth-ods that might also highli
In multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), the complexity of the base-station scheduler has increased further compared to single-user multiple input multiple output (SU-MIMO). The scheduler must understand if several users can be spatially multiplexed in the same time-frequency resource. One way to spatially separate users is through beamforming with sufficiently many antennas. In thi
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The incidence of type 1 diabetes increased during the pandemic in various countries. SARS-CoV-2 infections may trigger the development of type 1 diabetes, but the evidence is inconclusive. This study aimed to assess trends in type 1 diabetes incidence between 2007 and 2023, and to quantify the association between SARS-CoV-2 infections and the risk for developing type 1 diabetes.ME
Purpose: The purpose is to retrospectively investigate how the addition of prior and concurrent mammograms affects wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) screening false-positive recall rates, malignancy scoring, and recall agreement. Approach: A total of 200 cases were selected from the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial. They consist of 150 recalled cases [30 true positives (TPs),
Summary: In this population-based study, we compared the incidence of distal radius fracture in 2016 with that in the same region’s adult general population in 2001 using radiographs to identify fracture cases. We showed that the incidence decreased by 24% in 2016 compared with 2001 indicating an important development. Introduction: We conducted an epidemiological study on residents of northeaster
