Vaccine offered to children i Skania, Sweden, at high risk of diabetes
Children participating in the DiPiS and TEDDY studies, who are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes, have the possibility to receive GAD vaccine. The hope is that this will stop the process and prevent the children from falling ill. Some of the children who have an increased risk of type 1 diabetes start producing antibodies directed at the insulin producing cells. This is a warning that the

Research Project "Precariousness at Work" funded by Swedish Research Council
New global initiative on maternal and newborn health to be led from Sweden
Changes to the Swedish Employment Protection Act (LAS) will primarily affect those in fixed-term employment with an hourly wage
In June, the Riksdag adopted the Government’s bill Flexibility, adaptability and security in the labour market. The bill concerns modernisation of labour law with changes to the Employment Protection Act (LAS), among other things. The changes to LAS will take effect on 1 October. The changes mean that the basis for time-limited work “general fixed-term employment” is being replaced by “special fix
Back to Ukraine with a backpack full of new Swedish research experiences
Ten Ukrainian medical students, ten supervisors from the Faculty, for ten weeks. We have checked in with two of the couples. The Summer School, a pilot project, has been a good experience for supervisors and trainees, who have now gone back to Ukraine to finish their studies. Elisabeth Englund och Khrystyna Borteichuk Khrystyna: “Everything was so great that I have lost track of time, feels like o

Transatlantic registries of pancreatic surgery in the United States of America, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden: Comparing design, variables, patients, treatment strategies, and outcomes
Registries of pancreatic surgery have become increasingly popular as they facilitate both quality improvement and clinical research. We aimed to compare registries for design, variables collected, patient characteristics, treatment strategies, clinical outcomes, and pathology.

Study protocol: effects, costs and distributional impact of digital primary care for infectious diseases—an observational, registry-based study in Sweden
The ability to provide primary care with the help of a digital platform raises both opportunities and risks. While access to primary care improves, overuse of services and medication may occur. The use of digital care technologies is likely to continue to increase and evidence of its effects, costs and distributional impacts is needed to support policy-making.

Particle concentrations, dispersion modelling and evaluation in southern Sweden
Health impact assessments of differential air pollution rely on epidemiologically established relationships between concentration levels where people are exposed and adverse health outcomes. To assess air pollution concentrations, land use regression is commonly used. However, an alternative tool is dispersion modelling, where a detailed inventory of pollution sources together with meteorological

Surgical Complications in Postchemotherapy Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection for Nonseminoma Germ Cell Tumour: A Population-based Study from the Swedish Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group
Reports on perioperative complications after postchemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (PC-RPLND) for nonseminoma germ cell tumour (NSGCT) are from experienced single centres, with a lack of population-based studies. Read more at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31506250/
Visualizing healthcare system variability and resilience: a longitudinal study of patient movements following discharge from a Swedish psychiatric clinic
As healthcare becomes increasingly complex, new methods are needed to identify weaknesses in the system that could lead to increased risk. Traditionally, the focus for patient safety is to study incident reports and adverse events, but that starting point has been contested with a new era of safety investigations: the analysis of everyday clinical work, and the resilient healthcare.

An Extended Swedish National Adoption Study of Bipolar Disorder Illness and Cross-Generational Familial Association With Schizophrenia and Major Depression
Information about how risk for bipolar disorder is transmitted across generations and how parental risk for bipolar disorder relates to their children's risk for schizophrenia and major depression is limited. Read more at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32186664/
Mortality in first- and second-generation immigrants to Sweden diagnosed with type 2 diabetes: a 10 year nationwide cohort study
Non-Western immigrants to Europe are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. In this nationwide study including incident cases of type 2 diabetes, the aim was to compare all-cause mortality (ACM) and cause-specific mortality (CSM) rates in first- and second-generation immigrants with native Swedes.

Mammographic density changes during neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment: NeoDense, a prospective study in Sweden
We prospectively included 200 breast cancer patients assigned to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in the NeoDense study (2014–2019). Raw data mammograms were used to assess MD with a fully automated volumetric method and radiologists categorized MD using the Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), 5th Edition. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (OR) for pCR comparing
Neighborhood socioeconomic status and aortic stenosis: A Swedish study based on nationwide registries and an echocardiographic screening cohort
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease in developed countries, confers high mortality in advanced cases, but can effectively be reversed using endovascular or open-heart surgery. We evaluated the association between AS and neighborhood socioeconomic status (NSES). Read more at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167527320334124
Penile intraepithelial neoplasia, penile cancer precursors and human papillomavirus prevalence in symptomatic preputium: a cross‐sectional study of 351 circumcised men in Sweden
Consecutively excised symptomatic foreskins from 351 men were sent for histopathological evaluation. During the surgical procedure, a fresh biopsy was taken for HPV analysis by modified general primer polymerase chain reaction. A medical questionnaire regarding medication, smoking habits, number of lifetime sexual partners, former diseases and surgery performed on penis was completed by all partic
Surgeon heterogeneity significantly affects functional and oncological outcomes after radical prostatectomy in the Swedish LAPPRO trial
To evaluate how surgeon heterogeneity – the variation in outcomes between individual surgeons – influences functional and oncological outcomes after robot‐assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), and to assess whether surgeon heterogeneity affects the comparison between RALP and RRP.

Diabetes mellitus as a risk factor for compression neuropathy: a longitudinal cohort study from southern Sweden
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 between DM, C
Occupational exposure to whole-body vibrations and pregnancy complications: a nationwide cohort study in Sweden
Pregnancy complications are common contributors to perinatal mortality and morbidity. Still, the cause(s) of gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes are largely unknown. Some occupational exposures have been inconsistently associated with pregnancy complications, but exposure to whole-body vibrations (WBV) has been largely overlooked even though it has been associated with adverse birth ou
Diagnosis-linked antibiotic prescribing in Swedish primary care - a comparison between in-hours and out-of-hours
The rise in antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern, and antibiotic overuse needs to be reduced. Earlier studies of out-of-hours care have indicated that antibiotic prescribing is less appropriate than that of in-hours care. However, no study has compared the out-of-hours treatment of infections to in-hours treatment within the same population. Read more at https://bmcinfectdis.bio
