This article discusses the methodological challenges and lessons learned from an online survey conducted among Swedish disability organisations during 2022–2023. Our analysis aims to inform future studies within civil society and beyond. A total of 78 disability organisations, encompassing 2,652 branches at national, regional and local levels were identified. A 122-item survey was then distributed
BackgroundPosttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially lethal complication after pediatric heart transplantation (PHT). We have previously reported an association between PTLD and 1. sternotomy during infancy, 2. mismatch concerning Epstein?Barr virus infection, 3. hypoplastic left ventricle and 4. surgically palliated congenital heart disease (CHD) as transplant indication
Importance Early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) (diagnosed age <50 years) incidence is increasing globally, in parallel with increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs). The role of UPFs in early-onset colorectal neoplasia remains underexplored. Objective To evaluate the association between UPF consumption and risk of EOCRC precursors. Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective c
Background & Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of pancreatic cancer in individuals with pathologically confirmed precursor lesions—including pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, and mucinous cystic neoplasia—and their first-degree relatives. Methods Using nationwide population-based cohort study, we included all histopathologically d
Since late 2025, precautionary recalls of specific infant and follow-on formula batches in Europe have occurred due to contamination with cereulide, a heat- and acid-stable emetic toxin produced by certain Bacillus cereus strains. Contamination was traced to arachidonic acid (ARA)-containing algal oil from a single supplier; no viable bacteria were detected in the affected products. The European F
Objectives and Study: The external environment including toxicants remain largely unexplored as risk factors in celiac disease (CeD). Some of the PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), often labelled “forever chemicals”, have immunotoxic properties.Methods: In a cohort study nested in the Norwegian MoBa and the Finnish DIPP studies, children with CeD were identified by regular case-finding (
Sub-Saharan Africa’s development challenge lies less in achieving than in sustaining growth. While manycountries experience rapid expansion, frequent episodes of economic shrinking undermine long-termdevelopment. Drawing on the social capabilities framework and the role of monetary governance indevelopment, we examine how central bank autonomy and accountability relate to shrinking dynamics.Throug
OBJECTIVE: (1) To survey oral health in fibromyalgia (FM) and compare with population controls and (2) to assess whether patterns of contact allergy are related to oral status in FM.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Participants: 60 females with FM who had previously received contact allergy testing.CONTROLS: 120 age- and gender-matched individuals. Questionnaire on aspects of oral health and symptoms and Or
We experimentally study energy scaling properties of gas-filled multipass cell-based nonlinear compression setups by employing increasing azimuthal orders of Laguerre-Gauss LG0ℓ modes. First, we analyze the mode conversion from a Gaussian beam to LG0ℓ modes using spiral phase plates and spatial low-pass filtering. Then, these beams are sent to a first gas-filled multi-pass cell (MPC) to verify the
Climate change and ecosystem decline make rapid sustainability transitions imperative, yet many sectors remain on incremental paths. This paper examines how multi-scalar legitimation dynamics help explain this inertia in the Norwegian salmon aquaculture sector. Combining a geography of sustainability transitions perspective with socio-technical configuration analysis and expert interviews, we anal
Avian malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, commonly persists as a chronic infection, yet reliable treatment protocols remain insufficiently evaluated. Assessing treatment efficacy is essential for improving disease management and understanding impacts on host health. We conducted a 2.5-year experimental study to assess the efficacy and safety of atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone®) against Plasmod
