Pregnancies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus during 2000 –2018 in Finland: a case–control study
ConclusionThe course of pregnancies in Finnish SLE patients seems to be quite moderate compared to controls, and no new safety issues were detected. The low utilization of hydroxychloroquine indicates that the benefits of the drug to pregnancy and disease course are not optimally recognized by specialists treating SLE mothers.

Use of oral health care services by family caregivers and care recipients: the LENTO intervention
CONCLUSIONS: Individually tailored preventive oral health intervention showed no effect on the use of oral health care services.

Unlocking longevity with GLP-1: A key to turn back the clock?
According to WHO, healthy aging is a process that includes maintaining the ability of being wellbeing even in the older ages. The world's population is aging rapidly, posing a significant medical and social challenge. This trend is particularly strong in developed nations like Japan, Finland, and Italy, which currently boast the oldest populations. Within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), countries like Greece, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain are experiencing the fastest demographic shift towards an older population.

Maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy and the risk of delivering a small for gestational age baby: Kuopio Birth Cohort
ConclusionsModerate and high caffeine intake during early pregnancy is associated with SGA. As the results suggest that even moderate caffeine intake during the first trimester may increase the risk of SGA, the intake within recommendation limits does not necessarily appear to be safe for pregnant women and their newborns.

Psychological Factors Influencing Consumer Intentions to Consume Cultured Meat, Fish and Dairy
This study investigates the structure of factors that influence consumer intentions to both try and to consume cultured proteins, and their intentions to substitute vegan, vegetarian and omnivore diets with these alternative protein sources. Comprehensive survey data (N=3,862) was collected from three Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, and Norway) and analysed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Theoretically, this article draws from behavioural models of environmental psychology, identity theory, and attitude theory. Results indicate that beliefs about the necessity of an industry produc...

Epidemiology of Spinocerebellar Ataxias in Europe
AbstractSpinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a heterogenous group of rare neurodegenerative conditions sharing an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. More than 40 SCAs have been genetically determined. However, a systematic review of SCA epidemiology in Europe is still missing. Here we performed a narrative review of the literature on the epidemiology of the most common SCAs in Europe. PubMed, Embase, and MEDLINE were searched from inception until 1 April 2023. All English peer-reviewed articles published were considered and then filtered by abstract examination and subsequently by full text reading. A total of 917 or...

Policy impact pathways of climate-related urban health vulnerability - A retrospective analysis
Health Place. 2024 May 17;88:103266. doi: 10.1016/j.healthplace.2024.103266. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClimate change-related health risks are likely to become more prevalent in cities. Cities are also key actors in adaptation to these risks. Adaptation can take place through intentional measures to reduce vulnerability or exposure and unintentionally through other urban policy processes and outcomes. However, complex and dynamic relations between urban policy impacts and vulnerability development are an understudied phenomena. This limits the understanding of how urban climate-related health risks emerge and evolve. W...

Horses buried alive in medieval funerals came from distant lands
An ancient cemetery on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea contains some surprising bodies. Here, 1100 years ago, prominent warriors were cremated and buried with grave goods including amber beads, axes, and silver jewelry. Also present: the skeletons of young horses. Travelers’ tales and archaeological clues suggest a cruel ritual, in which the animals were raced to exhaustion, then led into a pit and forced onto their knees before being buried alive.
Archaeologists had long thought these horses were local, but new research—reported today in

Major brain injuries at term continue to influence DTI parameters in adolescents born very preterm: a 13-year follow-up study
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that major brain injuries identified on structural MRI at term affect brain maturation, with adverse effects in FA and MD still during adolescence.PMID:38757268 | DOI:10.1177/02841851241252716 (Source: Acta Radiologica)
