Congenitally corrected and surgical atrial redirected transposition of the great arteries (TGA) represents states where the morphological right ventricle serves as a systemic ventricle (S-RV). The S-RV is prone to failure, but data on medical treatment on this problem is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival in adults with S-RV, with or without heart failure treatment. De

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and colorectal cancer (CRC) share some risk factors, including lifestyle and metabolic disturbances. We aimed to provide in-depth information on the association of CRC risk, especially early-onset CRC, with DM, family history of CRC, and age at DM diagnosis.

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have lower life satisfaction (LS) than healthy peers. No study has yet identified predictors of LS in people with PD. Such information would be valuable for health care and future interventions that aim to maintain or increase LS. Read more at https://www.hindawi.com/journals/pd/2020/1561037/

Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions are associated with risks including immunological reactions and volume overload. Current guidelines suggest a restrictive transfusion strategy in most patients with sepsis but based on previous randomized controlled trials and observational studies, there are still uncertainties about the safety in giving low-grade RBC transfusions to patients with sepsis.

Cold sensitivity is common following nerve injuries in the upper extremity, but is less well studied in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We investigated cold sensitivity in CTS and its effects on surgical outcome. A search of the Swedish National Registry for Hand Surgery (HAKIR) for open carpal tunnel releases (OCTR) from 2010–2016 identified 10,746 cases. Symptom severity questionnaires (HQ-8; HAKI

Investigations of social-genetic effects, whereby a social partner’s genotype affects another’s outcomes, can be confounded by the influence of the social partner’s rearing environment. We used marital information on more than 300,000 couples from Swedish national data to disentangle social-genetic from rearing-environment effects for alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD) is usually the last deficiency to be substituted in hypopituitarism. In children with documented GH deficiency, treatment without delay is crucial for achieving optimal effects on growth and development. In adults, it is not known whether a delay in treatment initiation influences biochemical response and the favourable physiological effects resulting f

Rates of knee replacement (KR) are increasing worldwide. Based on population and practice changes, there are forecasts of a further exponential increase in primary knee replacement through to 2030, and a corresponding increase in revision knee replacement. We used registry data to document changes in KR over the past 15 years, comparing practice changes across Sweden, Australia, and the United Sta

An inverse relationship between mental health and academic achievement is a well-known phenomenon in the scientific literature. However, how and when this association develops is not fully understood and there is a lack of longitudinal, population-based studies on young children. Early intervention is important if associations are to be found already during childhood. The aim of the present study

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious adverse effect of oral anticoagulant (OAC) treatment. The effect of OAC reversal therapy on outcome is uncertain. We compared 90-day survival and functional outcome in patients with OAC-ICH who received OAC reversal therapy with those who did not.

Blåmesar är inte lika läraktiga som talgoxar. Men de nyfikna mesarna presterar ändå bättre än många andra fågelarter i kognitiva tester. Det visar en ny impulsstudie från Lunds universitet. Självkontroll är svårt för djur och brukar därför användas som jämförande mått när man vill undersöka allmän kognitiv förmåga hos olika arter. Det vanligaste verktyget är ”det transparenta cylindertestet”. Expe

Nu finns det bevis på att bins exponering för bekämpningsmedel beror på deras samspel med miljön. Enligt forskare från Lunds universitet och Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet, ökar binas bekämpningsmedelsrelaterade risker ju mer jordbruksmark som omger dem. Men detta gäller bara för det solitära biet och humlan, arter som söker föda över mindre ytor än honungsbiet. Denna upptäckt stöder de semi-naturl

Tränar du för mycket och inte vilar tillräckligt är det dåligt för hälsan. Nu visar en studie från Lunds universitet att samma sak gäller för flyttfåglar. De behöver ta rast inte bara för att få ny energi utan även för att boosta immunförsvaret. Efter en period av ansträngande fysisk aktivitet behöver ryggradsdjur, inklusive människor, vanligtvis en period av återhämtning. Förutom det uppenbara –
