BACKGROUND: About 20% of adolescents experience substantial mental health problems after bariatric surgery.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to explore differences between adolescents with poor mental health (PMH) 2 years after surgery and those with average/good mental health.SETTING: Three university hospitals in Sweden.METHODS: Mental health and health-related quality of life were assessed
AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the concomitant occurrence and possible association of breath-holding spells (BHS) and transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (TEC).METHODS: This population-based cohort study, carried out in Southern Sweden from 2004-2014, included patients with BHS and, or, anaemia, including TEC. The subjects were evaluated for the presence of all three conditions and the di
This article analyzes how producers of advertising construct children as an advertising audience. Previous research has argued that marketers are bound to present children as competent and savvy to legitimize their own practices. Drawing on interviews with Swedish producers of child-directed online advertising, this study shows that marketers are not destined to portray children as competent as th
INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown an increased risk of obstetric complications in pregnancies after oocyte donation (OD). The present study includes all singletons born after OD during 10 years in Sweden.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort study that included data from all Swedish in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics between 2003 and 2012 was performed. Data were cross-linked with
This Editorial highlights a study published in the current issue of Journal of Neurochemistry by Dobson et al. (), investigating whether the immunomodulatory agent, laquinimod exerts an immunomodulatory effect on isolated Huntington´s disease monocytes. In Huntington´s disease (HD) a central immune activation is mirrored in the periphery by a low-grade immune response and monocytes isolated from H
PURPOSE: About 60% of ovarian cancers are diagnosed at late stage, when 5-year survival is less than 30% in contrast to 90% for local disease. This has prompted search for early detection biomarkers. For initial testing, specimens taken months or years before ovarian cancer diagnosis are the best source of information to evaluate early detection biomarkers. Here we evaluate the most promising ovar
Using synchrotron radiation based spectroscopic methods we have investigated the surface modifications of Ga1-x Mnx As layers due to post growth annealing under amorphous arsenic capping layers. It is established that there is a clear increase of the Mn concentration at the surface after annealing. This is ascribed to a reaction between diffusing Mn interstitials and the As capping. The reacted su
Using synchrotron based photoelectron spectroscopy (GaMn) AsGaAs interfaces prepared in situ by low temperature molecular beam epitaxy have been studied. No band offset between the two systems is observed. The continuous transition is explained as an effect of dilution of the (GaMn)As by GaAs adlayers.
The valence band structure along the Γ-T and T-W-L directions in the Brillouin zone of GeTe is studied by means of angle-resolved photoemission and compared with the results of ab initio pseudopotential calculations. For Ge1-xMnxTe surface alloy, changes in the valence band induced by presence of Mn atoms are revealed.
This paper presents a 2-dimension (2-D) Vernier time-to-digital converter (TDC) which uses two 3-stage gated-ring-oscillators (GROs) in the X/Y Vernier branches. The already small Vernier quantization noise (~10.6ps) is improved by the 1st-order noise shaping of the GRO. Moreover, since all delay differences between X phases and Y phases can be used (rather than only the diagonal line of the 1-dim
In recent years a growing amount of research has been conducted in the area of workplace incivility. Whereas many studies have focused on the victims and the consequences of incivility, little attention has been paid to the perpetrators and antecedents of workplace incivility. This study aims to identify possible antecedents of workplace incivility, by investigating organizational aspects as well In recent years a growing amount of research has been conductedin the area of workplace incivility.

The present study investigated workplace incivility in a Swedish context. The first aim was to assess how common the phenomenon is and the second was to study which groups (gender, age, ethnicity, and power position) are most targeted by workplace incivility and are more prone to act in an uncivil way. Additionally, the relationships between experienced and witnessed incivility and well-being as wThe present study investigated workplace incivility in a Swedish context.

This document summarizes priority areas for joint research and concerted actions to counteract the public health threat of AIDS/TB as identified within the European Support Action "EUCO-Net" funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Commission.
Objectives: To describe the pattern of drug resistance at virological failure in the NEAT001/ANRS143 trial (first-line treatment with ritonavir-boosted darunavir plus either tenofovir/emtricitabine or raltegravir). Methods: Genotypic testing was performed at baseline for reverse transcriptase (RT) and protease genes and for RT, protease and integrase (IN) genes for patients with a confirmed viral
OBJECTIVES: Deficits in cognitive function remain prevalent in HIV-infected individuals. The aim of this European multicentre study was to assess factors associated with cognitive function in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve HIV-infected subjects at the time of enrolment in the NEAT 001/Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le SIDA (ANRS) 143 study.METHODS: Prior to starting ART, seven cognitive tes
This chapter analyses relations and interactions among civil society organisations active at the European Union level in the prostitution policy area, which is characterised by opposite frames regarding prostitution as work, sex or violence. The study draws on the theoretical perspective of Strategic Action Fields, focuses on the International Committee on the Rights of Sex Workers in Europe (ICRS

We simultaneously recorded local field potentials (LFPs) in the primary motor cortex and sensorimotor striatum in awake, freely behaving, 6-OHDA lesioned hemi-parkinsonian rats in order to study the features directly related to pathological states such as parkinsonian state and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. We analyzed the spectral characteristics of the obtained signals and observed that during dy
