Background: The Finnish Shaft of the Humerus (FISH) trial compared open reduction and internal plate fixation (ORIF) with functional bracing in adult patients with displaced, closed humeral shaft fractures. Here, we compare the results of the patients in the randomized clinical trial (RCT [the randomized cohort]) with those of the cohort of patients who were also eligible but declined randomizatio
Aims: Men are more likely to suffer a myocardial infarction than women, but population-based studies on sex differences in imaging-detected atherosclerosis are lacking. The aims were to assess sex differences in the prevalence of imaging-detected coronary and carotid atherosclerosis, as well as multivariable adjusted associations between sex and atherosclerosis. Methods and results: Participants a
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are no therapies targeting specific pathogenic pathways in myocarditis. IL (interleukin)-1 blockade has shown promise in preclinical studies and case reports. We hypothesized that blockade of IL1RAP (IL-1 receptor accessory protein), a shared subunit of the IL-1, IL-33, and IL-36 receptors, could be more efficient than IL-1 blockade alone. METHODS: We induced coxsackie
Aims/hypothesis: A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying an elevated infection risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes is needed to guide risk stratification and prevention. We investigated the risk of infection in subgroups of individuals with type 2 diabetes according to indices of insulin sensitivity and beta cell function. Methods: We classified 7265 individuals with recently diag
Objectives A rising incidence of septic shock as well as recommendations for early vasopressor initiation has increased the number of patients eligible for norepinephrine (NE). Traditionally, NE has been administered through central lines, in intensive care units, due to the risk of extravasation in peripheral lines. The aim of the current study is to determine the rate of complications and patien
Background: Orthodontic treatment need has commonly been assessed using treatment need indices during clinical examinations or using photographs in combination with plaster casts. Recently, the use of intraoral photographs alone to screen malocclusions has increased. Objective: This study aimed to validate intraoral photographs for the assessment of orthodontic treatment need. Materials and Method
The paper is a critical analysis of the present archaeological evidence for the pioneer settlement in Scandinavia. Based on a database of lithic blade technology from 62 sites dated to the Early Mesolithic, the authors evaluate the evidence for an East European origin of the Middle Mesolithic culture. Using lithic technology as a proxy for cultural traditions it is argued that the evidence speaks This paper takes as a point of departure the analysis of complex blade industries as a proxy for cultural practices, socially learned and transmitted habits within a human network. Our main objective is to study how traditions and/or habits are protected and reproduced or changed as groups of people are confronted with changed natural and/or social environments. Our case study is the hypothesized
Background: Long-term data on safety and efficacy of instantaneous wave-free ratio (IFR) vs fractional flow reserve (FFR) in guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is lacking. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes of IFR- vs FFR-guided PCI in a real-world setting. Methods: We assessed the 5-year outcomes of all patients undergoing IFR or FFR assessment be
Introduction: Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) involves a long trajectory with high risk of complications. In person-centred care (PCC), patients’ needs, resources and the care relationship are central to the care process. Healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) ratings of PCC have not previously been investigated in this context. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate health
BACKGROUND: Few studies have explored the association between DNA methylation and physical activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of objectively measured hours of sedentary behavior (SB) and moderate physical activity (MPA) with DNA methylation. We further aimed to explore the association between SB or MPA related CpG sites and cardiometabolic traits, gene expression, and

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
BackgroundOral treatment alternatives for febrile urinary tract infections are limited in the era of increasing antimicrobial resistance. We aim to evaluate if the combination of pivmecillinam and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is non-inferior to current alternatives for step-down therapy in adult patients with febrile urinary tract infection.MethodsWe plan to perform an investigator-initiated non-in
The oxygen content of ancient seawater has been hypothesized to be a major controlling factor for biodiversity throughout Earth's history. The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) represents one of the largest increases in biodiversity during the Phanerozoic, with peak rates of diversity occurring in the Middle–Late Ordovician. Multiple causal factors have resulted in this long-term ad
