Second primary cancers after liver, gallbladder and bile duct cancers, and these cancers as second primary cancers

Background: Second primary cancers (SPCs) are important clinically as they may negatively influence patient survival and they may tell about therapeutic side effects and general causes of cancer. Population-based literature concerning SPCs after hepatobiliary cancers is limited and here we assess risks of SPCs after hepatocellular cancer (HCC), and cancers of the gallbladder, bile ducts and ampull

Clinical Characteristics and Self-Harm in Forensic Psychiatric Patients

Self-harm, comprising non-suicidal self-injury, and suicide attempts, is a serious and potentially life-threatening behavior that has been associated with poor life quality and an increased risk of suicide. In forensic populations, increased rates of self-harm have been reported, and suicide is one of the leading causes of death. Aside from associations between self-harm and mental disorders, know

Metabolomics Profiling of Patients With A-β+ Ketosis-Prone Diabetes During Diabetic Ketoacidosis

When stable and near-normoglycemic, patients with "A-β+" ketosis-prone diabetes (KPD) manifest accelerated leucine catabolism and blunted ketone oxidation, which may underlie their proclivity to develop diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). To understand metabolic derangements in A-β+ KPD patients during DKA, we compared serum metabolomics profiles of adults during acute hyperglycemic crises, without (n =

Praxitopia : Co-constituting a vibrant local street through shopping

In the last decades shopping’s spatiotemporal manifestations are changed radically in conjunction with proliferation of car usage, internationalization of retail sector, and construction of out-of-town malls (Wrigley & Lowe, 1996; Mansvelt, 2005; Kärrholm & Nylund, 2011; Aslan & Fredriksson, 2017). However, the main empirical focus laid mostly on the mainstream and spectacular geograph

Extrapancreatic infections are common in acute pancreatitis and they are related to organ failure : a population-based study

BACKGROUND: Although the impact of pancreatic infections in acute pancreatitis has been studied extensively, there are no population-based data on extrapancreatic infections and their potential relation to organ failure. We aimed to study the occurrence of pancreatic and extrapancreatic bacterial infections in acute pancreatitis and their relation to patient outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: All pati

Multimethod characterization of a chlorinated solvents contaminated site and geoelectrical monitoring of in-situ bioremediation

Soil contamination is a widespread problem and actions need to be taken in order toprevent damage to the groundwater and the life around the contaminated sites. InSweden more than 80.000 sites are potentially contaminated, therefore there is ademand for accurate and efficient methods for site characterization and soilremediation. In the past, the preferred methodology for soil remediation involved

Fleshy listening and multi-entity performance : On analytical processes within artistic research

This audio paper draws on analysis of a case study within the field of artistic research. In summer 2018, the project sent poet Gunnar D. Hansson, composer Anders Hultqvist and ecological sound artists Stefan Östersjö and Halla Steinunn Stefánsdóttir on a search for the sounds of the book Tapeshavet (Hansson, 2017). The work links to the author’s Activation Series, which employs the artistic metho

Potential för ökad tillförsel av inhemsk biomassa i en växande svensk bioekonomi – en uppdatering

I denna studie genomförs en uppdaterad analys av potentialen för en ökad tillförsel av biomassa från skog, jordbruk och akvatiska system i Sverige till 2030 respektive 2050. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i en tidigare potentialstudie från 2016 men där potentialen för respektive biomassakategori justerats efter de omvärldsförändringar som skett och ny kunskap som tagits fram under de senaste fem åre

Impact of future climate scenarios on peatland and constructed wetland water quality : A mesocosm experiment within climate chambers

Water purification is one of the most essential services provided by wetlands. A lot of concerns regarding wetlands subjected to climate change relate to their susceptibility to hydrological change and the increase in temperature as a result of global warming. A warmer condition may accelerate the rate of decomposition and release of nutrients, which can be exported downstream and cause serious ec

Sensations, symptoms, and then what? Early bodily experiences prior to diagnosis of lung cancer

Lung cancer (LC) generally lacks unique core symptoms or signs. However, there are a multitude of bodily sensations that are often non-specific, not easily understood, and many times initially not recognized as indicative of LC by the affected person, which often leads to late diagnosis. In this international qualitative study, we inductively analyzed retrospective accounts of 61 people diagnosed

Perspectives on Care for Late-Stage Parkinson's Disease

In the late stage of Parkinson's disease (PD), there is an increasing disease burden not only for the patients but also for their informal caregivers and the health and social services systems. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of late-stage PD patients' and their informal caregivers' satisfaction with care and support, in order to better understand how they perceive the treatment a

Associations of breastfeeding with childhood autoimmunity, allergies, and overweight : The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study

BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has beneficial effects on numerous health outcomes.OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether breastfeeding duration is associated with the development of early childhood autoimmunity, allergies, or obesity in a multinational prospective birth cohort.METHODS: Infants with genetic susceptibility for type 1 diabetes (n = 8676) were followed for the development of autoantibodies to

Flexibility and Control of Circadian Activity, Migratory Restlessness and Fueling in Two Songbird Migrants

Juvenile songbirds rely on an endogenous program, encoding direction, distance, fueling, and timing of migration. Migratory distance is species-specific, expressed as a period of migratory restlessness, for which the length is correlated with distance, while fueling is modified to meet anticipated flight distances controlled by geomagnetic cues and amount of day-light available for foraging. How d

Heparin binding protein in severe COVID-19- A prospective observational cohort study

Background and aims Neutrophil-derived heparin binding protein (HBP; also known as azurocidin or CAP-37) is a key player in bacterial sepsis and a promising biomarker in severe infections. The aims of this study were to assess whether HBP is involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and, if so, whether it can be used to predict severe disease preferably using a point-of-care test. Methods This w

Cardiovascular risk factors and autonomic indices in relation to fatal and non-fatal coronary events

OBJECTIVE: Mortality caused by coronary artery disease has markedly decreased in recent years. However, a substantial proportion of patients suffering a coronary event (CE) die within the first day, most of them out of hospital. We aimed to investigate how established cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and CV autonomic indices associate with fatal versus non-fatal CEs in the population.METHODS: 33 0

Factors Associated With the Decline of C-Peptide in a Cohort of Young Children Diagnosed With Type 1 Diabetes

CONTEXT: Understanding factors involved in the rate of C-peptide decline is needed to tailor therapies for type 1 diabetes (T1D). OBJECTIVE: Evaluate factors associated with rate of C-peptide decline after a T1D diagnosis in young children. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Academic centers. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 57 participants from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (
