C-reactive protein as a prognostic factor in intensive care admissions for sepsis : A Swedish multicenter study

Purpose: C-reactive protein (CRP) is not included in the major intensive care unit (ICU) prognostic tools such as the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS). We assessed CRP on ICU admission as a SAPS-3 independent risk marker for short-term mortality and length of stay (LOS) in ICU patients with sepsis. Materials and methods: Adult ICU admissions satisfying the Sepsis-3 criteria to four souther

Evaluation of Circulating Cardiovascular Biomarker Levels for Early Detection of Congenital Heart Disease in Newborns in Sweden

Importance: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation in humans worldwide. Circulating cardiovascular biomarkers could potentially improve the early detection of CHD, even in asymptomatic newborns. Objectives: To assess the performance of a dried blood spot (DBS) test to measure the cardiovascular biomarker amino terminal fragment of the prohormone brain-type natriu

High platelet count is associated with low bone mineral density : The MrOS Sweden cohort

Summary: In elderly ambulatory men, high platelet and high neutrophil counts are related to low bone mineral density (BMD), after adjustment for relevant covariates. Low hemoglobin (hgb) is even associated with low BMD, but this relationship seems to be dependent on estradiol and osteocalcin. Purpose: Blood and bone cells exist in close proximity to each other in the bone marrow. Accumulating evid

Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for compression neuropathy: a longitudinal cohort study from southern Sweden

Introduction Compression neuropathies (CN) in the upper extremity, the most common being carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE), are frequent among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Earlier studies have shown contradicting results regarding DM as a risk factor for CN. Thus, the aim of the present population-based, longitudinal study was to explore potential associations
