Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a disease that can have a high impact on quality of life, especially due to itch and skin pain. This paper utilizes expertise from members of the International Society of Atopic Dermatitis (ISAD)/Oriented Patient-Education Network in Dermatology (OPENED) task force to review the epidemiology, pathophysiology and exacerbating factors of itch and pain in atopic dermatitis.

The Baltic Sea is one of the fastest-warming marginal seas globally, and its temperature rise has adversely affected its physical and biochemical characteristics. In this study, forty years (1982–2021) of sea surface temperature (SST) data from the advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) were used to investigate spatial and temporal SST variability of the Baltic Sea. To this end, annual

IntroductionMild parkinsonian signs (MPS) have been characterized by several definitions, using the motor part of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of MPS and their association with functional level and comorbidities in the oldest old.MethodCommunity-dwelling older adults (n = 559, median age 85, range 80–102 years) were examined regarding

In this paper, I track the arrival of the sugar beet in Scandinavia and explore the technical changes, ecological implications and new social arrangements that followed in its wake. Based on ethnographic records and other historical material dealing with agricultural practices, I argue that an ethnological view that takes the agrarian landscape and the organisation of social life together as one a

Primitive, neonatal and adult erythroid cells have been previously shown to have an active pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) that fuels various processes. However, it is unclear whether the PPP plays a role during the emergence of erythroid progenitors from hemogenic endothelium (HE). In this study, we explored PPP and its genetic regulation in developmental erythropoiesis. We induced hematopoietic

This paper looks at the gendered possibilities for participating in agricultural intensification in seven regions in Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania, using a longitudinal, regional, mixed methods approach combining household level data on land, labour and use of agricultural techniques for male and female farm managers as well as qualitative data collected from within male-headed households and commun

BACKGROUND: Knowledge about the prevalence of women with breast implants is paramount in calculations of risks and in estimations of effects on screening and breast cancer treatment. Most of the estimations of prevalence made to date are rough and often based on sales data. The main aim of this study was to  calculate the prevalence of breast implants in Swedish women. The secondary aim was to inv

The authors take on a problem that many departments in Sweden, not least in the humanities, are dealing with right now: language. They show how social status in academia is decoupled from linguistic integration, at least if we understand status in terms of academic titles. Feelings of insufficiency and incompleteness are, however, prevalent, even among those whose Swedish proficiency is objectivel

Background: Season of birth has been associated with age at menarche. Maternal vitamin D levels in pregnancy may explain this effect. We investigated whether the season of first trimester or maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels were associated with pubertal timing in children. Methods: We conducted a follow-up study of 15 819 children born in 2000-03 from the Puberty Cohort, nested in t

3-Deoxy-3-amino-beta-D-talopyranosides have been synthesized for the first time. The amines were obtained from galactopyranosides through 2,3-anhydrogulosides that were opened to idosides followed by an oxidation/reductive amination sequence. From the amines, 11 corresponding 3-deoxy-3-arylamido-beta-talopyranosides have been synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors against galectin-1, -2, -3, -4C,

Background/objectives: Adequate mineral intake is important for the maintenance of bone health, cellular function and general metabolism, and possibly in the aetiology of cancer and other chronic diseases. This study aimed at investigating variation in intakes of selected minerals across 10 European countries participating in the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)

Popular Abstract in Swedish SVENSK SAMMANFATTNING Huvudsyftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka olika aspekter av självrapporterade sexuella övergrepp under barndom och ungdomstid i en befolkningsstudie med svenska gymnasieelever. Ett av målen var att undersöka livstidsprevalensen för olika typer av sexuella övergrepp och olika övergreppsvariabler samt relationen mellan sexuella övergrepp, köABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis was to investigate aspects of self-reported sexual abuse during childhood and adolescence in a population-based study of Swedish high school students. The aim of this thesis was first to investigate the lifetime prevalence of sexual abuse of varying severity and characteristics as well as the associations between sexual abuse, gender, socio-demographic character

Upphovsrätter ger upphov till både ekonomiska och ideella rättigheter. Den ideella rätten bygger på en tanke om att upphovsmän har ett starkt personligt intresse och en koppling till sina verk. Samma tanke ligger bakom det överlåtelseförbud som finns i 28 § lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). Förbudet gör det otillåtet för en förvärvare av en upphovsrätt att öCopyright is composed of two rights, the economic and moral rights. The moral rights are built on the thoughts that the creator of the copyright has a strong personal interest and a connection to its creation. It is the same thoughts that are behind the transfer prohibition in 28 § lag (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). The prohibition makes it illicit for the as
