PurposeWe describe the design and implementation of the Malmö Breast ImaginG (M-BIG) database, which will support research projects investigating various aspects of current and future breast cancer screening programs. Specifically, M-BIG will provide clinical data to: 1. investigate the effect of breast cancer screening on breast cancer prognosis and mortality; 2. develop and validate the use of a

INTRODUCTION: Treatment efficacy of reflex syncope is mainly related to the mechanism underlying syncope rather than its etiology or clinical presentation. The predominant mechanism underlying reflex syncope can be assigned to hypotensive or to bradycardic phenotypes.AREAS COVERED: Methodology and diagnostic criteria of the most useful tests for the identification of hypotensive and bradycardic ph

BACKGROUND: Complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) is a major reason for implantation of permanent pacemakers, but knowledge of CAVB inheritance is sparse. This nationwide study aimed to determine the occurrence of CAVB in first-, second-, and third-degree relatives (full siblings, half-siblings, and cousins).METHODS: The Swedish multigeneration register was linked to the Swedish nationwide patien

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major cause of disability worldwide, and two conditions that are major contributors to the overall burden of MSDs are fractures and osteoarthritis (OA). The Swedish Health and Medical Services Act (HSL 2017:30) states that the goal of all health care services is good health and health care on equal terms for the entire population.

Production of fish meal and plant-based feed proteins continues to increase to meet the growing demand for seafood, leading to impacts on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Microbial proteins such as single-cell proteins (SCPs) have been introduced as feed alternatives since they can replace current fish feed ingredients, e.g., soybean, which are associated with negative environmental impacts. Mic

Wheat bran, a major by-product of wheat processing, contains several valuable components that can serve as a potential feedstock for chemical production. This study presents a multiple-stage fractionation method, involving steam explosion and hydrotropic extraction, which were investigated with the goal of separating the main structural bran components: starch, protein, hemicelluloses, lignin, and

Expansion of extracellular matrix occurs in all stages of pulmonary angiopathy associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). In systemic arteries, dysregulation and accumulation of the large chondroitin-sulfate proteoglycan aggrecan is associated with swelling and disruption of vessel wall homeostasis. Whether aggrecan is present in pulmonary arteries, and its potential roles in PAH, has
