Why studying proteins is important All our cells contain hereditary information, DNA, that allows the building blocks of our body, the cells, to know how to behave. However, the DNA is only the instruction book while proteins are the key players doing all the important work. We have to cope with many situations throughout our lives, such as stress, hunger and sickness among various others, and it
Evolutionen som livboj för en krympande slända Många organismer påverkas negativt av mänsklig miljöpåverkan, och riskerar att dö ut. Evolutionära processer kan dock fungera som en livboj och bromsa den negativa utvecklingen från miljöförändringar. Global uppvärmning driver en insektsart till en mindre kroppsstorlek. Men när naturlig selektion istället verkar för en stor kroppsstorlek kommer de neDue to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene
Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences among researchers in the decisions they make regarding statistical analyses. A growing array of studies has explored this analytical variability in dif
Importance: Depressive symptoms are associated with cognitive decline in older individuals. Uncertainty about underlying mechanisms hampers diagnostic and therapeutic efforts. This large-scale study aimed to elucidate the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology. Objective: To examine the association between depressive symptoms and amyloid pathology and its dependency on age,
A foreign individual who is considered an expert, researcher or otherwise an important person (nyckelperson) may currently be covered by what is commonly referred to as the expert tax rules (expertskattereglerna). Individuals who receive remuneration above a certain level are also subject to these rules. Under these rules, certain benefits qualify as tax-free as well as a part of the renumeration
IMPORTANCE COVID-19 can lead to long-term cardiopulmonary symptoms and is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). However, long-term data on CMD after severe COVID-19 are lacking. OBJECTIVE To investigate long-term left ventricular function and the presence of CMD after severe COVID-19. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This case-control study was conducted among patients at a si
BACKGROUND: The global prevalence of dementia is rapidly expanding and is expected to triple by 2050. Approximately 45 % of dementia cases are estimated to be attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors. Identifying how these factors contribute to specific brain pathologies may improve strategies to reduce dementia incidence.OBJECTIVES, DESIGN, SETTING: The aim of this study was to identif
Importance Women with adverse pregnancy outcomes have higher subsequent cardiovascular risks, but their long-term risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and potential causality are unclear. A better understanding of such risks is needed to identify women with high risk early in life and guide interventions to prevent AF and its complications. Objective To determine long-term risks of AF associated with
Importance: Traditional adoption studies examine disorder-to-disorder parent-offspring transmission. The role of parental genetic risk in offspring disorder transmission can capture indirect genetic effects from parental genotype to parental phenotype to offspring risk. Objective: To assess the relative importance of genetic and rearing effects from paternal family genetic risk scores (FGRSs) in 3
Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy is prescribed for patients with chronic lung diseases who experience exertional hypoxemia. However, available devices may not adequately meet user requirements, and their performance characteristics are heterogeneous. Objective: This study aims to identify devices available for delivery of ambulatory oxygen therapy, the technologies that they use to generate o
I ett litet skånskt vattendrag hittades förhöjda halter av så kallade ”evighetskemikalier” som kan innebära risker för livet under ytan. Trots att vattnet ser rent ut visar mätningar att påverkan från industri och avloppsvatten är större än vad man tidigare känt till. PFAS är en stor grupp industrikemikalier med mycket goda vatten-, fett- och smutsavvisande egenskaper samt hög kemisk- och värmestFreshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by persistent chemical pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which pose long-term risks to both ecosystems and human health. Small streams downstream of urban and industrial areas are often underrepresented in monitoring programmes, despite their potential vulnerability to PFAS contamination. Furthermore, environmental r

Purpose: To suggest a more precise tool when assessing the risk of contrast-medium-induced nephropathy (CIN), i.e. the ratio between contrast medium (CM) dose expressed in grams of iodine (g-I) and estimated glomerular filtration rate in ml/min (eGFR; based on equations using serum-creatinine (s-Cr), weight, height, age, and/or sex), here named I-dose/GFR ratio.
