Socio-demographic inequalities influence differences in the chemical exposome among Swedish adolescents
Environ Int. 2024 Mar 31;186:108618. doi: 10.1016/j.envint.2024.108618. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRelatively little is known about the relationship between socio-demographic factors and the chemical exposome in adolescent populations. This knowledge gap hampers global efforts to meet certain UN sustainability goals. The present work addresses this problem in Swedish adolescents by discerning patterns within the chemical exposome and identify demographic groups susceptible to heightened exposures. Enlisting the Riksmaten Adolescents 2016-17 (RMA) study population (N = 1082) in human-biomonitoring, and using proportional...

This qualitative study using content analysis investigates the experiences of and opinions about gambling and PG among 12 males living in Sweden with a migrant background in Afghanistan, th...

Mortality risk relationship using standard categorized BMI or knee-height based BMI - does the overweight/lower mortality paradox hold true?

Reduction of elective lymph node volume in radiotherapy of early anal squamous cell cancer: a comparative study between two Swedish university hospitals
This study included consecutive patients with early ASCC (T1-2N0M0) treated between 2010 and 2017 at both sites (SU n = 70; UU n = 46). Data were retrieved from medical records and RT charts.RESULTS: At SU, the external iliac and presacral LN stations were included in elective LN irradiation in 96.8% (n = 60) and 95.2% (n = 59) patients compared to 2.4% (n = 1) and 29.3% (n = 12) at UU. The mean elective LN volume was 2,313 cc (interquartile range [IQR] 1,951-2,627) in the SU cohort compared to 1,317 cc (IQR 1,192-1,528) in the UU cohort, p < 0.0001. No case of regional LN recurrence was seen in either cohort. Disease s...

Paid Family Leave Programs —Understanding the Consequences for Infant Health
In this issue of JAMA Pediatrics, Debiasi and colleagues examine unintended consequences of Sweden ’s paid parental leave policy reforms in the 1980s on infant health. Using an interrupted time series analysis with multiple treatment periods, they found the 1980 speed premium, which aimed to protect parents’ earnings-based parental leave benefit if they had 2 children within 24 months, inadve rtently increased the risk of preterm birth (from approximately 4.4% to 5.6%, a relative increase of about 26%) and low–birth weight birth (approximately 3.0% to 3.4%, a relative increase of about 14%). These increased risks att...
