The demand for better methods for condition control and monitoring of embankment dams will increase in a near future as a result of expected more extreme weather situations. Furthermore the availability demand on hydropower will increase as a result of switching from fossil fuels to wind and solar power, in some countries in combination with decommissioning of nuclear power. Temperature monitoring

Background and aims: Although aortic stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease requiring intervention in Europe, the role that diet plays in development of the disease is largely unknown. The pathophysiology of aortic stenosis is however similar to other cardiovascular diseases that fiber intake has been associated with. The aim of this study was consequently to investigate the associatio

Background: Infertility is a well-known sequela of cancer treatment. Despite guidelines recommending early discussions about risk of fertility impairment and fertility preservation options, not all patients of reproductive age receive such information. Aims: This study aimed to investigate young adult cancer patients’ receipt of fertility-related information and use of fertility preservation, and

Introduction: Graves´ disease (GD) is the predominant cause of hyperthyroidism. Treatment options include antithyroid drugs (ATD), surgery, and radioactive iodine ablation (RI). Although thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) are prevalent in patients with GD, their role in driving relapse or hypothyroidism after treatment in patients with GD remains unclear. This study aimed to determine if pat

Introduction: The risk of celiac disease (CD) is high in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). While some studies have linked CD in children with T1D to impaired growth and poorer glycaemic control, results have been inconsistent. Further, no study has examined the relevance of whether the diagnosis of CD is established before, in conjunction with, or after T1D. We aimed to examine whether CD influ

Background and aims: The relationship between uncommon phenotypes, such as metabolically healthy obesity and normal weight with metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, remains unclear. We investigated how different combinations of body mass index (BMI) and MetS are associated with overall and specific CVDs and how the number of MetS components influences CVD risk in indiv

Background: There is mounting evidence supporting the role of the microbiota in hypertension from experimental studies and population-based studies. We aimed to investigate the relationship between specific characteristics of the gut microbiome and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements. Methods: The association of gut microbial species and microbial functions, determined by shotgun metagenom
