OBJECTIVES: To examine the relation between adherence to dietary guidelines and the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA).METHODS: Participants in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDCS) cohort diagnosed with RA were identified through register linkage and validated in a structured review. Four controls per case were selected, matched for sex, year of birth, and year of inclusion in the MDCS

One of the biggest challenges in urban densifications is securing adequate daylight access. This study examines the potential of using semantic 3D city models as input to daylight simulations. It is focusing on investigating input data requirements to these simulations from a geodata, 3D city model specification and measuring guideline perspective. To achieve this, geodata simulation input require

BACKGROUND: Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is the most common prenatal infection and the main infectious cause of neurodevelopmental abnormalities in developed countries. Long-term neuropsychological outcome of cCMV infection is still not well understood. This is the first study that presents linguistic follow-up data performed on adults who were infected in utero.METHOD: All individuals from a

Objective: Professional operatic singing is vocally demanding, making the maintenance of professional vocal health a paramount concern for the opera chorister. Occupational environment has been shown to affect vocal health for other vocally dependent professions. Hence, the objective of the current study was to explore what occupational environment factors affect the professional vocal health of S

Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant psychiatric comorbidity in individuals with chronic pain. To date, the link between PTSD and chronic pain has mostly been described using the outdated DSM-IV PTSD criteria. Stronger evidence utilizing the updated DSM-5 criteria is needed to ensure comparability with earlier prevalence rates. Methods: This observational study report

There is an ongoing debate about what should be considered an energy community (EC), particularly in terms of citizen engagement and the proximity of community members to renewable energy production. The type of EC that exclusively engages with actors in a certain geographical location is defined as a community of place (COP). In contrast, communities of interest (COI) do not limit membership to t

CONTEXT: Type 2 diabetes is a growing global concern with serious complications, including kidney damage and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Monitoring albuminuria, which is associated with these complications, is crucial in optimal diabetes management. Gut microbiota composition has been suggested to impact albuminuria, but large studies with granular data are lacking.METHODS: We investig

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder associated with substantial costs that escalate as the disease progresses. Previous research has explored the relationship between disease progression, motor symptoms, and the economic burden of PD. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the relationship between costs and non-motor symptoms (NMS). Objective: To examine t

Visions, or revelations, played an enormously important role in late medieval society. So much so that the question what constituted an authentic vision was debated at the highest ecclesiastical levels. Furthermore, the majority of visionaries in this period were women, and visions afforded them with unique opportunities to exercise their abilities in contexts otherwise almost exclusively reservedVisions, or revelations, played an enormously important role in late medieval society.

Aim The aim was to assess the use of multi-frequency vibrometry (MFV) in detecting diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in type 1 diabetes in comparison to nerve conduction studies (NCS) and neurothesiometer (NT). Our objectives were to examine how VPTs correlated with NCS parameters, evaluate the efficacy of MFV in distinguishing DPN as well as to investigate whether MFV procedure could be based
