OBJECTIVES: Vasospastic angina (VSA) is a complex coronary vasomotor disorder associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death. Despite considerable advances in understanding VSA pathophysiology, the interplay between genetic and environmental factors remains elusive. Accordingly, we aimed to determine the familial VSA risk among first-degree relatives of affected indivi

Efficient scheduling is vital for railway maintenance, which is increasingly challenged by rising train traffic and infrastructure wear. Trackwork often necessitates the reduction of train speeds and the partial or complete closure of tracks. Despite advancements in maintenance technology, the efficiency of planning processes, especially the repetitive tasks of planners and the adaptation to unfor

Sveriges skogar påverkas av de hastiga globala klimatförändringarna. Inverkan av klimatförändringana syns redan med både ökad frekvens och kraftigare extremväder som stormar, värmeböljor, torka och skyfall. Ett tydligt exempel är den extrema torka som drabbade hela landet år 2018. Till följd av torkan har det bland annat skett en explosionsartad ökning av antalet granbarkborrar som angriper och döA changing climate is expected to lead to more extreme weather events, such as an increased frequency of droughts and forest fires. Changing forest conditions can offer benefits to species such as insects, including bark borers that thrive in warm conditions. Warmer temperatures also favor the acceleration of ozone (O3) production, which can cause stress on vegetation. Vegetation stress can have n

Background: The goals for staff in Supported Housing for people with psychiatric disabilities include helping to develop the residents’ independence and self-confidence in activities. However, staff have expressed frustration about providing this type of support when motivating residents to engage in meaningful activities and also about the difficulty in finding suitable levels of independence wit

Background: Factors that influence outcomes of interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation programs (IPRP) are poorly known. It is unclear how outcomes are influenced by pain intensity, psychological distress, and coping strategies. Aim: This clinical registry-based longitudinal cohort study has three aims: 1) to determine the relative importance of pain intensity, psychological distress, acceptance, an

Background: Diverticulosis is a common condition and is thought to be increasing in the Western population. Several studies have attempted to estimate the prevalence of diverticulosis and it’s inflamed state, diverticulitis, with results varying depending on study population and methodology, The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of diverticulosis in patients undergoing colonoscop

Objectives Distribution of take-home naloxone is suggested to reduce opioid-related fatalities, but few studies have examined the effects on overdose deaths in the general population of an entire community. This study aimed to assess the effects on overdose deaths of a large-scale take-home naloxone programme starting in June 2018, using an observational design with a historic control period. Desi
