Objective: Rathke's cleft cysts are benign, embryological remnants in the pituitary gland. The majority of them are small and asymptomatic but a few may become large, and cause mass effects, pituitary hormone deficiencies and visual impairment. Recommendations for the follow-up of Rathke's cleft cysts vary since data on the natural history are sparse. Patients and Design: Data at diagnosis and at

Background: It has been shown that individuals with obesity have a higher risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear which measure of obesity is most useful for prediction of CKD in the general population. The aim of this large prospective study was to explore the association between several anthropometric measures of obesity, i. e., body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (W

In the summer of 1993, two Russian scientists from the Institute of Physics in Nizhny Novgorod drove the 1, 934 km to Umeå, where I was based at that time, in their red Lada car loaded with a home-built Ti:Sa laser. Within a few days, the laser was put in operation, pumped by a small argon-ion laser, and produced stable -100 fs pulses at 790 nm. These pulses were applied to our favorite topic at t

Background: While housing and neighborhood features have the potential to impact opportunities for active aging, there is a lack of knowledge related to how older people reason regarding their housing situation and how housing and fulfillment of relocation are associated with active and healthy aging. Objective: The objectives of Prospective RELOC-AGE are to study housing choices and relocation an

Energy communities are emphasized by the EU as important for developing sustainable energy systems that include and engage many people. While many renewables are highly compatible with a more decentralized energy system, research indicates that participation in 'desirable' energy activities and energy decision-making is influenced by social and economic factors, including gender, economic status a

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

Few have been left unaffected by the outbreak and consequent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One group of people, namely those pregnant during the pandemic, faced a unique set of circumstances that this research has aimed to understand. The purpose of this research was to contribute to filling the knowledge gap by delving into the risk perception and protective behaviours adapted by pregnant peop

The recent immigration crisis is a topic of interest for many researchers nowadays. Although refugees represent the biggest number of immigrants in Europe, researchers tend to comprehensively tackle immigrant entrepreneurship and neglect refugees' distinctiveness. This qualitative study explores the phenomenon of refugee entrepreneurship and its common challenges based on multiple case studies

With an aging population, the need for elderly care is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. One challenge associated with this growth is hiring and retaining home care workers. The aim of this study was to investigate factors in the psychosocial work environment that may be of value to make people stay in elderly care. There are several factors at play, however the present study foc

Transport and material intermixing within lake systems have a significant impact on lake water quality. However, since researchers are primarily concerned with biological, environmental, and ecological aspects, physics and hydrodynamic behavior in lake water currents frequently receive less attention. The results of several wind-induced current circulation scenarios in Lake Bolmen with its complic
