Doctors' health experiences are of importance in the daily debate on sick-leaves and health in general. The way in which doctors constitute meaning about health may give some explanation as to why the percentage of people on sick-leave rises while the employers are trying to improve the well-being in the workplaces. The purpose of this phenomenological and explorative study is therefore to fin

This essay is a study about the sexuality of young women, their riskbehavior in sexual relations and the attitudes about the sexuality of young women among the professionals. We heard from a documentary that young heterosexual women lie within the biggest riskgroup for getting infected by the HIV virus.

The aim of this essay was to examine and discuss the conception collaboration, both from earlier research and in a concrete practice, namely the work that pursues between the Social welfare and the psychiatry, against drog abusers with psychial illness in the authority of Simrishamn. My questions was: What is a collaboration and how can it be defined? What factors are deciding how the collaboratio

SummaryElevated HDL-C levels are generally regarded as prognostically favorable in cardiovascular disease. Our study shows that higher HDL cholesterol levels are prospectively associated with 18% increased risk of new-onset fractures in men but not in women. Higher HDL cholesterol may be a novel risk factor for developing fractures in men.PurposeIncreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-

Background and objective: Although cardiovascular toxicity from modern systemic treatments in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) remains a concern, real-world data are limited. We aimed to characterise patients treated for mHSPC across multiple large cohorts and estimate cardiovascular adverse event (AE) risks. Methods: Leveraging PIONEER's Big Data platform, with databases stand

Aim Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a disorder with cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction where multiple and variable symptoms are common, including those from the peripheral and enteric nervous systems. We aimed to investigate subjective and objective signs of small and large fiber neuropathy in a Swedish POTS cohort compared with healthy controls. Secondly, we wanted to examin

Background: Alcohol intake increases recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes is less well characterized. We aimed to study the association between different levels of alcohol intake and cardiovascular outcomes in a global cohort of patients with AF. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the RE-LY AF registry, including 15,400 patients with

BACKGROUND: This study sought to characterize a cohort of talar neck and body fractures, focusing on fracture characteristics, associated injuries, treatment and outcome.METHODS: We reviewed adult patients registered in the Swedish Fracture Register 2011-2021 with talar neck and body fractures. A minimum 2-year follow-up was conducted for treatment outcomes.RESULTS: We included 313 patients (318 f

Background: Influenza ranges from a mild and self-limiting infection to a life-threatening disease with high mortality despite intensive care. Conclusive data on the association between influenza type/subtype and mortality among adults treated at intensive care units (ICU) is lacking. Objectives: To investigate the mortality in adults admitted to ICU with laboratory-confirmed influenza during thre

Background: Although it has been suggested that the hippocampus and amygdala (HA) are involved in the neurobiology of obsessive– compulsive disorder (OCD), volumetric findings have been inconsistent, and little work has been undertaken on the volumetry of the heterogeneous anatomic units of HA, with their specific functions and cytoarchitecture, in OCD. We sought to explore potential sources of he

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka det strukturella problem som uppstår i säkerhetsrådet när rådet hamnar i en rättslig återvändsgränd på grund av ett veto. Uppsatsen utgår från diskussioner kring soft laws påverkan samt användning inom folkrätten och huruvida det kan vara ett användbart instrument för att kringgå sådana rättsliga återvändsgränder. FN-stadgan konstruerades på ett sätt som möjThis essay aims to examine the structural problem that arises in the Security Council when the Council finds itself in a legal impasse due to a veto. The essay is based on discussions on the impact and use of soft law in international law and whether it can be a useful instrument to circumvent such legal impasses. The UN Charter was constructed in a way that allowed for this structural problem bec

A tight correlation between the baryonic and observed acceleration of galaxies has been reported over a wide mass range (108 < M bar/M⊙ < 1011 M⊙); this is known as the radial acceleration relation (RAR). This has been interpreted as evidence that dark matter is actually a manifestation of a modified, weak-field gravity theory. In this work, we studied the radially resolved RAR of 12 nearby dwarf

Purpose The EPHOR-NIGHT cohort was established to investigate how night shift work influences biological pathways and chronic disease risk using a comprehensive working-life exposome approach, focusing on cardiometabolic, mental health, cognitive and biological ageing outcomes. Participant The cohort includes 937 workers aged 20–65 years (88%female), primarily from the healthcare sector (96%) in S

BACKGROUND: The isolation of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the bloodstream can be used to detect and analyze somatic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and multiple cfDNA-targeted sequencing panels are now commercially available for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved biomarker indications to guide treatment. More recently, cfDNA fragmentation patterns have emerged as a tool to inf

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) lowers the risk for all-cause mortality in babies, including those with low birth weight. However, rates of neonatal mortality and delayed initiation of breastfeeding remain high in most low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to assess the trends and factors associated with EIBF in Namibia from 2000 to 2013. Methods: An analysis of E
