Background: In-center hemodialysis (IHD) is the most common dialysis modality. Assisted peritoneal dialysis (assPD) is an option for frail and/or incapacitated patients. Both modalities can be used to alleviate uremic symptoms towards the end of life. There are few studies comparing these modalities. The primary aim is to compare hospital admissions between assPD and IHD. The secondary aim is to c

To meet climate targets, expanding Populus spp. tree cultivation is proposed as a potential biomass feedstock, especially on agricultural land that does not come into conflict with food production. However, biomass potential assessments typically overlook landowners' perspectives, risking a gap between theoretical potentials and realisation. Here, we test empirical consequences of two hypotheses b

Background: Middle Eastern (ME) immigrants to Europe have a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) as compared to Europeans. Previous findings from the MEDIM population-based cohort (Impact of ethnicity and migration on diabetes in Malmö) have shown that ME immigrants are more insulin resistant before developing T2D as compared to native Swedes. However, knowledge is still lacking if there are

Background: International research demonstrates an association between arts and culture activities and health and wellbeing. A similar association exists for sports event attendance and health. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between arts and culture engagement and attending sports events during the past year and self-rated health (SRH). Methods: A cross-sectional study. A pu

Background The adverse health effects associated with long commutes provides additional evidence of the commuting paradox. Better job opportunities and higher incomes in larger local labour markets are offset by the negative consequences of longer commutes including lower levels of life satisfaction. Long commutes extend the work day and time spent commuting is time lost for health beneficial actiThe adverse health effects associated with long commutes provides additional evidence of the commuting paradox.

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) and Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are the most common urogenital cancers among both sexes, with a yearly global incidence of around 500 000 each. Both BC and RCC have been linked to diabetes. Poor glycemic control (malglycemia) is a serious consequence of diabetes and a possible consequence of systemic treatments used in BC and RCC. The objective of this study was to i

IMPORTANCE Twin studies have found that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors within a generation. No study has used an adoption design, which can address questions about the degree and sources of cross-generational transmission of adverse stress responses (ASRs) and PTSD. OBJECTIVES To examine whether ASRs or PTSD are transmitted from parents
