Multi-modality Imaging of a relapsing Mycotic post-infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after surgical repair

Mycotic left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is an uncommon life-threatening condition, resulting from myocardial rupture contained by the pericardium or scar tissue. Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of LVP, followed by cardiac surgery, previous chest trauma and infections. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman who developed a relapsing post-infarction LVP arising from mid infero-sep

Common carotid artery characteristics in patients with repaired aortic coarctation compared to other cardiovascular risk factors

Aims: Increased common carotid artery (CCA) intima media thickness (cIMT) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. cIMT thickening has been described in patients with repaired aortic coarctation (CoA), but data on mechanism and clinical relevance in this population are scarce. Our aim was to gain mechanistic insights into cIMT thickening of patients with repaired CoA

Mats Edén & Guro Kvifte Nesheim

Två generationer spelmän med en samstämmig inställning till det muskaliskaarvet som ett mycket personligt och glädjefyllt uttryck, möts över rungandehardingfeletoner och bjuder på utforskande lekfullhet och driv. Mats med sin djupa förankring i den värmländska musiken är en trogen gäst i Ransäter, och även Guro har setts här förr. I år även med sitt band GKN5.

Microbial exposure during recycling of domestic waste : a cross-sectional study of composition and associations with inflammatory markers

Objectives This study aims to investigate (1) the microbial community composition by work characteristics and (2) the association between microbial genera level and inflammatory markers among recycling workers. Methods In this cross-sectional study, inhalable dust was collected with personal samplers from 49 production (86 samples) and 10 administrative workers (15 samples). Four groups of micro-o

The Parliamentary Origins of Party Strength in Western Europe before the Second World War

This article uses new quantitative data to systematically test established arguments concerning the origins of party strength in 11 West European countries between 1870 and 1939. Through time-series cross-sectional analyses and using a wide range of sources, I investigate the role of the development of parliamentarism, suffrage extension, civil society, and the adoption of proportional representat

Replication Data for: How Parliamentarism Developed in Western Europe

The Development of Parliamentarism in Western Europe dataset. Includes coding of government resignations and government-termination-attempts and estimations of the development of parliamentarism in Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden from the establishment of parliaments until 2022.

Replication Data for: The Parliamentary Origins of Party Strength in Western Europe before the Second World War

The Fragmentation of Parliamentary Party Systems dataset. Includes calculations of party-system fragmentation and the share of socialist party seats in Austria, Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden from the emergence of parties or party groups until 2022 based on country historiography. These data thus cover times before full (male) suffra

Fat intake and metabolism in Swedish and Italian infants

The purpose of the study was to compare fat intake and metabolism between two infant populations from Sweden and Italy given breast milk or similar infant formulas, but different weaning foods. Nutrient intake and fat metabolism were studied prospectively from 3-12 mo in 68 Swedish and 46 Italian healthy infants, breastfed or given similar infant formulas in combination with Swedish or Mediterrane

Protein intake and metabolism in formula-fed infants given Swedish or Italian weaning foods

The aim of the study was to compare protein intake and metabolism between infants from two countries given similar infant formulae but different weaning foods. Healthy Swedish and Italian infants were studied between 3 and 12 mo. Infants in both populations were assigned to 1 of 3 infant formulae, containing 13, 15 or 18/20 g l-1 of protein, given in addition to Swedish or Italian weaning foods. P

Biofluid biomarkers in distinguishing young-onset dementia from primary psychiatric disorders

Purpose of reviewThere has been growing interest in the role of biofluid biomarkers to aid the diagnosis of dementia in older people. However, less attention has been given to younger people who have dementia (young-onset dementia), who frequently experience misdiagnoses of primary psychiatric disorders diagnostic delay and challenges accessing appropriate care.Recent findingsWe describe 12 studie

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in men and lactating women in Slovenia : Results of the first national human biomonitoring

In the first national human biomonitoring study in the Slovenian population of adults (18–49 years), including men (n = 297) and lactating primiparous women (n = 304), exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) was evaluated. Nine urinary metabolites of four parent PAHs were determined. These included 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHPYR), 2-hydroxynaphthalene (2-OHNAP), 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OHPH

Trimethylselenonium ion determination in human urine by high-performance liquid chromatography–hydride generation–atomic fluorescence spectrometry optimization of the hydride generation step

This work describes the intricacies of the determination of the trimethylselenonium ion (TMSe) in human urine via high-performance liquid chromatography–hydride generation–atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-HG-AFS). By definition, this technique requires that the separated TMSe can be online converted into a volatile compound. Literature data for the determination of TMSe via the hydride gener

AS3MT polymorphisms, arsenic metabolites and pregnancy

Arsenic methylating enzyme (AS3MT) genetic variations and their role in variability of As metabolism were evaluated in population of pregnant/non-pregnant women exposed to low levels of As. We have tested the associations between genotypes/haplotype of seven AS3MT SNPs and As metabolites in urine (methylation efficiency). Significant associations of individual SNPs and protective haplotype with ar

Harmonized human biomonitoring in European children, teenagers and adults : EU-wide exposure data of 11 chemical substance groups from the HBM4EU Aligned Studies (2014–2021)

As one of the core elements of the European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU) a human biomonitoring (HBM) survey was conducted in 23 countries to generate EU-wide comparable HBM data. This survey has built on existing HBM capacity in Europe by aligning national or regional HBM studies, referred to as the HBM4EU Aligned Studies. The HBM4EU Aligned Studies included a total of 10,795 participan

Results of the first national human biomonitoring in Slovenia : Trace elements in men and lactating women, predictors of exposure and reference values

The first national human biomonitoring in Slovenia surveyed cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in a childbearing population (18–49 years) selected from lactating primiparous women and men (N = 1084). The overall aim was to estimate trace elements' levels and geographical variations in order to identify sources of possible e

ALAD and APOE polymorphisms are associated with lead and mercury levels in Italian pregnant women and their newborns with adequate nutritional status of zinc and selenium

The impacts of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ALAD and VDR genes on Pb health effects and/or kinetics are inconclusive at low exposure levels, while studies including APOE SNPs are rare. In this study, we examined the associations of ALAD, VDR and APOE SNPs with exposure biomarkers of Pb and other trace elements (TEs) in Italian pregnant women (N = 873, aged 18–44 years) and their newbo
