Nationwide outcome analysis of primary carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic patients depending on closure technique and patch type
CONCLUSIONS: There was an increased risk of ipsilateral stroke <30days in patients operated with primary closure compared to eversion-CEA and patch angioplasty. There was no difference between primary closure, different patch types or eversion after the perioperative phase.PMID:36603661 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.12.033

Bereavement in childhood and young adulthood and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a population-based cohort study from Denmark and Sweden
Adverse childhood life events are associated with increased risks of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, and stroke later in life. Limited evidence also suggests that stress in adulthood may increase the ris...

Second death linked to potential antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s disease
A 65-year-old woman who was receiving a promising experimental treatment to slow the cognitive decline caused by her early Alzheimer’s disease recently died from a massive brain hemorrhage that some researchers link to the drug. The clinical trial death, described in an unpublished case report Science has obtained, is the second thought to be associated with the antibody called lecanemab. The newly disclosed fatality intensifies questions about its safety and how widely lecanemab should be prescribed if ultimately approved by regulators. The woman, who received infusions of the antibody as part of the trial, s...

Sexuality & gt;1 year after brain injury rehabilitation: A cross-sectional study in Sweden
CONCLUSION: Visible impairments are known to impact sexual functions and satisfaction after ABI. Our results show how invisible impairments also have a great impact. From a biopsychosocial perspective, these results imply that individuals should receive sexual rehabilitation, irrespective of ABI impairment.PMID:36408962 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2022.2145358

Identifying factors explaining practice variation in secondary stroke prevention in primary care: a cohort study based on all patients with ischaemic stroke in the Stockholm region
Conclusions A high practice variation for dispensation of all secondary preventive drugs was observed. Patient and PCC level factors indicating good continuity of care and high level of general practitioner education were associated with higher use of statins. Findings are of importance to policymakers as well as individual providers of care, and more research and actions are needed to minimise inequality in healthcare.

A prospective study on local cold injuries in northern Sweden
Int J Circumpolar Health. 2022 Dec;81(1):2149381. doi: 10.1080/22423982.2022.2149381.ABSTRACTThe study aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence proportion of local cold injuries in northern Sweden, and identify associated factors. It was based on prospective data from surveys in 2015 and 2021 sent to a population-based sample in northern Sweden. Multiple binary logistic regression was performed. The study included 5,017 subjects (response rate 44.4%). The prevalence of cold injuries in the hands was 11.4%, feet 12.6%, and face 19.9%, while the incidence proportion was 1.0%, 1.0%, and 0.9%, respectively. Male gender ...

Cold Weather Can Be Dangerous for the Human Body. This Winter Worries Experts
A particularly nasty trifecta of influenza, COVID-19, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is already portending a rough winter. But there’s another factor contributing to a potentially tough season for health: a colder-than-average season, which is forecast in the northern U.S. and the U.K. Even an ordinary cold season can pose a threat to human health and safety. One 2015 study published in the Lancet analyzed over 74 million deaths around the world found that more than 7% of deaths were attributed to exposure to cold temperatures. “There is conclusive evidence that there is increased risk for many health ou...

Accuracy of automated intracerebral hemorrhage volume measurement on non-contrast computed tomography: a Swedish Stroke Register cohort study
ConclusionOur study showed excellent agreement in volume quantification between the fully automated software qER –NCCT and manual segmentation of ICH on NCCT. The qER–NCCT would be an important additive tool by aiding in early diagnostics and prognostication for patients with ICH and in provide volumetry on a population-wide level. Further refinement of the software should address the underestimation of IC H volume seen in a portion of large, heterogenous, irregularly shaped ICHs.

Epidemiology of first and recurrent ischemic stroke in Sweden 2010 –2019 – A Riksstroke study
Conclusion: Whereas both first-ever and recurrent IS rates declined in Sweden between 2010 and 2019, the proportional decline was almost double for recurrent IS than for first-ever IS and most pronounced in the elderly. Increased use of secondary preventive drugs, in particular anticoagulants in atrial fibrillation, appears to have contributed, but further studies on precise causes for the decline in recurrent IS are needed.
