Background: The quality of the total mesorectal excision specimen in rectal cancer surgery is assessed with a three-tier grade (mesorectal, intramesorectal and muscularis propria). This study aimed to analyse the prognostic impact of the total mesorectal excision grade on survival, and to identify risk factors for intramesorectal and muscularis propria resection in a population-based setting. Meth
Background: Epidemiological evidence on weight change and atrial fibrillation (AF) remains limited and inconsistent. Previous studies on body mass index (BMI) in youth and AF rarely considered subsequent BMI. This study aimed to assess the associations of AF with weight change and BMI in youth, as well as modified effect by genetic susceptibility of AF. Methods: The study included 21,761 individua
Importance: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), wherein a generalized epileptic seizure is induced, is a treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Currently, it is unclear whether there is an association between seizure length and treatment outcome. Objective: To explore the association between seizure duration, potential confounding variables, and ECT treatment outcome. Design, Setting, and Par
AIMS: Biomarkers associated with asymptomatic ventricular dysfunction might improve risk stratification and identify pathways leading to heart failure (HF). We explored the association between proteomic biomarkers and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction (DD) and incident HF in three population-based cohorts.METHODS AND RESULTS: A chip was used to measure 92 protein biomarkers
Background: Home care underwent abrupt adaptations to handle the COVID-19 pandemic including an accelerated digitalization. While some research exists regarding the working conditions for home care personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic, few studies exist on the effect of everyday technology use in home care during the pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate how digital technologies, in
Leapfrog migration is a common migration pattern in birds where the breeding and wintering latitudes between populations are in reversed latitudinal sequence. Competition for wintering and breeding sites has been suggested to be an ultimate factor, and several competitor-based hypotheses have been proposed to explain this pattern. If wintering sites close to the breeding sites are favored, competi
Kultfilmsevenemang som Den Dåliga Filmfestivalen (Göteborg, 2019 och 2023-2025) och B-Filmsklubben (Malmö) erbjuder unika atmosfärer för publiken som besöker dem. I Malmö och Göteborg anordnar biograferna regelbundet festivaler och fristående visningar av kultfilmer som band andra The Room, Birdemic, och Miami Connection. Kännetecknande för dessa upplevelser är den översvallande atmosfär som skapa
This dissertation investigates the development of the main Danish modal particles jo, sgu, skam, nu, da, vel, nokand vist. In Modern Danish, these particles express contextualization instructions, that is, they express how theutterance relates to the interactive context. In addition to this common content core, they also share severalexpression features: they cannot be placed in the pre-field, the
INTRODUCTION: Worsening renal function (WRF) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF). Osteopontin (OPN) and Matrix extracellular phosphoglycoprotein (MEPE) are expressed in the kidneys and are involved in bone mineralization processes. Higher OPN levels have been associated with a higher risk for adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and MEPE
PURPOSE: Early identification of the underlying cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is important for treatment and prognosis. This study aims to investigate the association of hematoma volume and other clinical parameters on the distribution of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) probability according to the simplified Edinburgh CT criteria in a large, unselected intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) p
Purpose: The purpose of this case-control study was to investigate the associations between maternal serum concentrations of vitamin D early in pregnancy and the occurrence of preterm birth. Methods: The study included 269 women (cases) whose children were born preterm (< 37 gestational weeks [gw]) and 332 women (controls) whose children were born term (≥ 37 gw). Among the cases, 59 were extreme p
BACKGROUND: Insufficient knowledge among assistant nurses (ANs) in nursing homes (NHs) on medicines and drug-related problems (DRPs) in older people causes difficulties in acknowledging the side effects of medications, which can be harmful to the individual and endangers patient safety. The aim of this study was to explore the ANs' thoughts on their professional role in preventing DRPs in NH resid
Background: Lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is common in emergency departments (EDs) and can be fatal if left untreated due to the risk of progression to pulmonary embolism (PE). In Scandinavia, DVT diagnosis typically relies on ultrasound performed outside the ED in the diagnostic departments. However, international guidelines now recommend combining limited/proximal compression ultrasound
Background: Little is known regarding treatment with cangrelor during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of such cangrelor treatment during PCI in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Met
OBJECTIVES: To explore and compare the prevalences of a wide range of comorbidities in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) versus the general population, and in non-radiographic versus radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA/r-axSpA).METHOD: Well-characterized axSpA patients (n = 246) from the SPARTAKUS cohort (55% men; mean age/disease duration 52/26 years; nr-axSpA/r-axSpA = 82/164) were included, and matched
