Background: In addition to peripheral neuropathy of various kinds, diabetes can also cause central neuropathy, which among other things can manifest itself as premature cognitive dysfunction, often linked to vascular dysfunction. Although the link between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction was discovered more than 100 years ago and has important clinical implications, this diabetes complication re
Altricial songbirds transform themselves from naked poikilotherms to fully feathered endothermic homeotherms over a matter of days from hatching to fledging. The ontogeny of endothermy is a developmental milestone for birds that not only face warmer average temperatures, but also increasingly frequent cold snaps and extreme weather. The timing of development of endothermy has been studied in altri
OBJECTIVE: Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from bone lesions has been proven to be a useful diagnostic tool but lacks standardisation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic utility of FNAC as a basis to propose and test a reporting system for bone reporting cytopathology.METHODS: This retrospective study is based on patients with bone lesions, that were approached by cytology
Background: The TrialNet Oral Insulin (OI) prevention trial showed no overall treatment effect, using the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes as an endpoint. A significant delay in onset was only found in a high-risk stratum (termed secondary stratum 1) of participants with low first-phase insulin release (FPIR).Methods: Since trials with an endpoint of type 1 diabetes take years to complete, in this pos
Studies addressing patients’ experiences of person-centered care (PCC) in the context of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are scarce; hence, this study aimed to explore patients’ experiences of PCC, and its associations with individual characteristics and health-related quality of life, in the context of allogeneic stem cell transplantation. It is a cross-sectional su
A blue-green bioeconomy revolution is underway in Europe, with particular attention being paid to the development of new or underutilized marine biomass resources. The wild harvest and mariculture of low-trophic non-fed species of marine biomass may be contributing to circular economies, the mitigation of environmental problems such as eutrophication and climate change through the uptake of nutrie
The International Society for Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes (ISPAD) guidelines represent a rich repository that serves as the only comprehensive set of clinical recommendations for children, adolescents, and young adults living with diabetes worldwide. This guideline serves as an update to the 2022 ISPAD consensus guideline on staging for type 1 diabetes (T1D). Key additions include an evidenc
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 yet not well understood, and follow-up studies on adults screened for CMV at birth are few. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported executive functioning
Purpose: Mental illness due to longstanding stress is increasing. It has been shown that service users with mental illness may benefit from nature-based interventions (NBI), including equine-assisted therapy, to support their health, recovery, and activity level of daily life. However, the evidence base to support this is still weak. The aim was thus to evaluate and provide knowledge of the possib
In 2025, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at the National Institutes of Health celebrates 75 years of leadership in diabetes research. The NIDDK serves people of the U.S. affected by or at risk for many chronic diseases, including diabetes and other endocrine, metabolic, and digestive disorders, by funding innovative research to develop better treatment
BackgroundPresence of a prosthetic joint entails a life-long risk of haematogenous periprosthetic joint infection (hPJI) during bacteraemia. For bacteraemia with Staphylococcus aureus the hPJI frequency has been described to be up to 40% and for streptococci up to 20%, with large variation among reported frequencies.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the hPJI frequency from bacteraemia with virulen
Objectives: Cystic fibrosis hepato-biliary involvement (CFHBI) is a common comorbidity in patients with CF and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The effect of the new and highly potent CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy, elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI), on CFHBI, is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ETI on liver stiffness
Stem cells are unique, undifferentiated cells that have the ability to both replicate themselves and develop into specialized cell types. This dual capability makes them valuable in the development of regenerative medicine. Current development in stem cell research has widened their application in cell therapy, drug discovery, reproductive cloning in animals, and cell models for various diseases.
Climate change is affecting societies all over the world. Cities are especially vulnerable to climate change due to their particular features such as high proportion of hard surfaces, high interconnectedness between systems and lack of protection from natural ecosystems. The urban planning processes suit well for implementing climate change adaptation (CCA) measures to protect the cities from the
Trots att betydelsen och vikten av att kunskap om hbtq-frågor för psykologisk praktik och psykoterapeutiskt behandlingsarbete länge påvisats, finns det knapphändigt med forskning ur behandlarperspektiv rörande vad den kunskapen består av och hur den omsätts i psykoterapeutisk behandlingspraktik. Denna studie undersökte hur ett antal svenska behandlare med självdefinierad specifik kunskap om hbtq-p
Syfte: Studien undersöker om ett faktiskt aktieåterköp påverkar en akties likviditet samt om storleken på aktieåterköpet kan ha en betydelse för likviditeten. Metod: För att besvara syftet utformas tre hypoteser som besvaras genom en kvantitativ undersökning via regressionsanalys. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien har en deduktiv ansats som tar utgångspunkt i tidigare utarbetade teorier på områdetPurpose: This study evaluates whether actual share repurchases affect a stock's liquidity in the short run. In addition the study also tests if the size of the share repurchase is an element that affects the stock liquidity. Methodology: To test the purpose of the thesis, three hypotheses are designed which are tested in a quantitative research through regression analyses. Theoretical Persp
