Objectives: The impact of COVID-19 on gambling behavior and the gambling industry itself has been widely speculated.

Few studies have used metho
Purpose: The use of prophylaxis for thromboembolism and infection in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is not well documented and no general guidelines have been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ACL surgeons’ individual strategies of thromboprophylaxis, use of prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis and vancomycin-soaked ACL grafts, and if its use is supported in the c
Background: While neighborhood deprivation is a well-known predictor of obesity, the mechanisms behind this association are unclear and these are important to clarify before designing interventions focusing on modifiable neighborhood environmental factors in order to reduce obesity risk. Objectives: This study examined the longitudinal association between availability of fast-food outlets and phys
Background: Obesity among children and adolescents is a worldwide public health concern. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) incidence are increasing, with heredity and socioeconomic status as possible risk factors.

Background: Severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is an established risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and liver disease, but the effect on the incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) is not well known. The aim was to evaluate the risk of incident IHD in patients with severe AATD compared with a random sample of the general population, with known smoking habits.
Background: With the increased number of cancer survivors, it is necessary to explore the effect of cancer and its treatments on pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth, which seriously endangers the health of offspring. We aimed to explore the risk of being born preterm among offspring of cancer survivors. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. All singleton live births be

Land use is affecting 70% of global ecosystems and their functioning. Forest management is a regionally dominant land use and affects forest ecosystems by changing both structure and functioning, but its impact on primary productivity is not well known. Here we investigated the effect of forest management on primary productivity by comparing managed secondary forests with relatively pristine unman
Finansieringen av nationella vetenskapliga tidskrifter har blivit ett lömskt problem eller ett wicked problem inte bara för historia utan för humaniora i stort. Liksom andra lömska problem utmärks denna fråga av att själva problembeskrivningen är föränderlig, definitionerna undflyende samt att problemet är sammanvävt med andra komplexa problemområden. För en långsiktig lösning är det därför nödvän
