Urban environments are exposed to a substantial range of anthropic pressures, including chemical exposure. While trace metals and legacy pollutants have been well documented, the extent of wildlife exposure to emerging contaminants has received little attention, in terrestrial mammals. Concentrations of trace elements (Ag, Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) and 48 organic pollutants (Polyc

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate different scales of mobility and social networks in Southern Scandinavia around 7000 BC. An essential basis for this work is the hypothesis that the conical core pressure blade technology, a specific method for producing lithic blades, reached Scandinavia from the east. The process has been discussed and verified in several earlier studies.The study is The purpose of this thesis is to investigate different scales of mobility and social networks in Southern Scandinavia around 7000 BC.

BACKGROUND: A history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is associated with at least twice the risk of incident ischemic heart disease. Whether the long-term outcome following treatment with coronary artery stenting is associated to the history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 8364 women (age ≤65 years) undergoing first coronary artery stentin

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The role of early-life overall diet in celiac disease risk is not well explored. The aim was to investigate associations of dietary diversity, and healthy eating in the second year of life with subsequent celiac disease risk.METHODS: In 64,315 children born 2002-2009 with available data in the Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study, a Dietary Diversity Score (0-4) and Healthy

Description: Early interventions with PMDs can improve the independence and developmental outcomes of children with disabilities. Increasing awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to overcome barriers to access to PMDs. Expanding global partnerships and integrating PMDs into clinical and educational settings can increase children's access to mobility.

Background Suicide attempts are common in youth and have potentially lethal outcomes. Effective treatments targeting suicide attempts are scarce. Objective To assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a family-based cognitive behavioural treatment relative to an active control for youth with suicidal behaviour. Methods 30 youths (93% female; mean (SD) age=14.6 (1.5) years) residing in Swe

Purpose: In a multicenter prospective cohort study, we assessed the diagnostic yield of the Nordic guidelines for germline investigation in myeloid neoplasms and mapped the spectrum of inherited and somatic variants. Experimental Design: Eighty-five patients (acute myeloid leukemia, n = 38; myelodysplastic syndromes, n = 26; thrombocytopenia, n = 14; and other, n = 7) fulfilling the Nordic criteri

Background and Aims: Previous studies have shown that procalcitonin (PCT) concentration is elevated in patients with liver disease without evidence of bacterial infection. We aimed to investigate the association between elevated PCT and the future risk of liver disease. Method: PCT was measured in 3897 individuals without known liver disease in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Cardiovascular Cohort (MDC-

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Adhering to the EAT-Lancet diet has been observed to be associated with lower risks of various morbidities. This study aimed to investigate the association of adhering to the EAT-Lancet diet with incident chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and identify plasma proteins mediating such association.METHODS: This prospective study involved 202 340 participants free of COP

The interaction between Extreme UltraViolet (XUV) Attosecond Pulse Trains (APT) and matter enables real-time investigation of electron dynamics on their natural time-scale. This is achieved by the addition of a weak InfraRed(IR) field, which probes the ionization process. However, achieving the required temporal and spectral precision for such studies imposes stringent demands on the experimental

Aim: Surgery for colorectal cancer is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to analyse whether postoperative complications following radical resection for colorectal cancer are associated with increased recurrence rate and impaired survival. Method: Patients operated for colon cancer between 2007 and 2009 with curative intent were identified thr

Registry-based randomised controlled trials (R-RCTs) represent a paradigm shift in research, with the potential to accomplish pragmatic but large trials with high external validity. In this paper, we review our experiences from planning and performing the REgistry-based randomised controlled trial of treatment Duration and mortality in long-term OXygen therapy (REDOX) trial, the first R-RCT within

Library 2.0 is a term which emerged a few years ago and is frequently discussed. There is no uniform definition of the term but the central aspect of the concept is to encourage increased participation from library users. The aim of this Master's thesis is to investigate if and if so, how the professional role of the librarian is affected by Library 2.0. To do that, we have conducted a case s
