Background: Postinfectious autoimmune processes have been proposed as potential causal risk factors for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In this large population-based study, we aimed to clarify the familial coaggregation pattern between severe infections and OCD across clusters of relatives with varying degrees of relatedness. Methods: We identified 4,916,898 individuals born in Sweden betwee

Time-frequency reassignment, commonly used to analyze time-varying signals, is a post-processing method that sharpens time-frequency representations. However, the reassignment method is sensitive to noise, making it unsuitable for time-frequency analysis when the signal-to-noise ratio is low. To increase the robustness of the reassignment technique, we develop a novel reassigned multitaper spectro

Refugee entrepreneurship emerged as a distinct area of inquiry, delving into the complex relationship between experiences of conflict, forced displacement, and entrepreneurial behaviour. However, an inconsistent and fragmented literature that lacks a unified understanding hinders this emerging stream. To tackle this issue, this chapter engages in a scholarly endeavour to conceptualise refugee entr

Introduction: Health-promotion approaches to address stress-related exhaustion disorders, reduce personal suffering, improve coping and participation in everyday life are needed in primary care. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported health and well-being before and after an intervention focusing on well-being with photo-supported conversations (BeWellTM). Material and methods: Eig

• Purpose: To assess whether distal radius fracture (DRF) malunion is associated with greater patient-reported disability. • Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases up to 21 May 2023. Two reviewers independently screened retrieved titles/abstracts and assessed the full text of potentially eligible articles to identify cohort studies and randomized controlled trials reporting ou

Jes Wienberg gick i pension våren 2025 efter att under många år ha varit knuten till institutionen för arkeologi och antikens historia vid Lunds universitet. I den här boken adresserar trettionio författare lika många ämnen och forskningsproblem, varav många anknyter till de område som alltid varit i fokus för Jes intresse, det kyrkliga kulturarvet i vid mening. Men här finns även artiklar om kast

Developments in ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) technology have led to vast amounts of ECG data that currently need to be interpreted by human technicians. Here we tested an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for direct-to-physician reporting of ambulatory ECGs. Beat-by-beat annotation of 14,606 individual ambulatory ECG recordings (mean duration = 14 ± 10 days) was performed by certified E

Misfolding, self-assembly, and subsequent deposition of amyloid β plaques and tau tangles are closely associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and its neurodegenerative processes, driving healthy neurons into a diseased state. At present, AD is the most widespread form of dementia, causing profound personal and familial hardship as well as imposing a substantial societal economic burden.Currently,The purpose of the work that forms the basis of this thesis has been to investigate fundamental properties of amyloid β and tau self-assembly and their solubility. The results of this research are presented as five research articles. In Paper I, a solubility assay for determining the solubility of amyloid proteins is developed and its use demonstrated for the Aβ40 peptide. Paper II finds that tau

The Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides (COSC) project focuses on processes related to the closure of the Iapetus Ocean, causing the Ordovician–Silurian continent– continent collision between Baltica and Laurentia. The rock succession in the second drill core (COSC-2) from the Jämtland County, central Sweden, provides the base for detailed sedimentological, stratigraphic, geophysic

Reduced serum level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), a major regulator of perinatal development, in extremely preterm infants has been shown to be associated with neurodevelopmental impairment. To clarify the mechanism of IGF-1 transport at the blood–cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier of the immature brain, we combined studies of in vivo preterm piglet and rabbit models with an in vitro tra

The complex dynamics of protein expression in plasma during hyperacute HIV-1 infection and its relation to acute retroviral syndrome, viral control, and disease progression are largely unknown. Here, we quantify 1293 blood plasma proteins from 157 longitudinally linked plasma samples collected before, during, and after hyperacute HIV-1 infection of 54 participants from four sub-Saharan African cou

Det förvaltningsrättsliga landskapet i Sverige har under de senaste decennierna blivit allt mer sammanlänkat med Europarätten, dvs. EU-rätten, Europakonventionen samt annat material från Europarådet. För att som svensk jurist kunna arbeta med förvaltningsrättsliga frågor är det nödvändigt att ha en grundläggande förståelse för hur Europarätten påverkar de svenska rättsliga strukturerna. I verket p
