Half of the children with overweight or obesity and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder reach normal weight with stimulants.

Aim: Treatment of childhood obesity is often insufficient and may be aggravated by high co-occurrence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We aimed to investigate whether children with overweight or obesity normalised in weight when receiving stimulant treatment for ADHD.

Methods: Growth data of 118 children were obtained from medical records at outpatient paediatric and children's psychiatric services in the Gothenburg area, Sweden.

High prevalence of neurodevelopmental problems in adolescents eligible for bariatric surgery for severe obesity.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of neurodevelopmental problems in adolescents with severe obesity and their associations with binge eating and depression.

Methods: Data were collected at inclusion in a randomised study of bariatric surgery in 48 adolescents (73% girls; mean age 15.7 ± 1.

Incidence of Type 1 diabetes mellitus and effect on mortality in young patients with congenital heart defect - A nationwide cohort study.

Background: 1% of all live born children are born with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and currently 95% reach adulthood. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease that can develop due to i.e.

Is There An Overlap Between Eating Disorders and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children with Obesity?

This study aimed at assessing the prevalence of eating disorders (EDs) and ED symptomatology in children with obesity, and at investigating whether EDs occur more often among individuals with a comorbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Seventy-six children (37 girls, 39 boys, age 5-16 years) were recruited at an outpatient obesity clinic. The adolescents completed ED instruments including The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) and The Eating Disorder Inventory for children (EDI-C).

Cardiovascular risk factors in adults with coarctation of the aorta.

Background: The aging patient with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) faces the risk of developing atherosclerotic disease. Patients with coarctation of the aorta (CoA) are especially vulnerable because of an inherent high risk of developing hypertension. However, data on the prevalence of other cardiovascular risk factors are scarce.

[Majority of medical students in a survey have an interest in scientific research].

Over the last years there has been a decline in the number of physicians in Sweden who are involved in medical research. To increase the proportion of physicians involved in research, several initiatives have been made. In the spring of 2017 a survey was conducted among all medical students at the Sahlgrenska Academy, to investigate the experience and involvement in research.

Evolving techniques in text-based medical consultation - Physicians' long-term experiences at an Ask the doctor service.

Introduction: Both the demands and the options for patients to communicate with health care providers utilizing eHealth solutions are increasing. Some patients, or relatives to patients, want to consult another health care provider than the regular one, merely in text.

Objective: To improve text-based medical consultation by learning from long-term experiences.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors in patients with or without CHD: a case-control study.

Background: Approximately 1% of children are born with CHD, and 90-95% reach adulthood. Increased exposure to infections and stress-strain can contribute to an increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus. CHD may increase the risk of more serious infections, stress-strain, and increased risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Neurodevelopmental disorders are highly over-represented in children with obesity: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To investigate prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in children with obesity and to compare body mass index (BMI) and metabolic profile in the children.

Methods: Seventy-six children (37 girls, 39 boys) were consecutively recruited from a university outpatient clinic specialized in severe obesity. Neurodevelopmental disorders including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and developmental coordination disorder (DCD) were assessed using interviews and questionnaires.

High mortality and morbidity among adults with congenital heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: With improving prognosis the prevalence of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) is increasing. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a shorter life expectancy compared with the general population. We investigated, in a large national diabetes registry, the prevalence of ACHD in combination with T2DM to estimate the associated clinical risk, outcome and patient characteristics.

An interactive web application for the dissemination of human systems immunology data.

Background: Systems immunology approaches have proven invaluable in translational research settings. The current rate at which large-scale datasets are generated presents unique challenges and opportunities. Mining aggregates of these datasets could accelerate the pace of discovery, but new solutions are needed to integrate the heterogeneous data types with the contextual information that is necessary for interpretation.

Systems scale interactive exploration reveals quantitative and qualitative differences in response to influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.

Systems immunology approaches were employed to investigate innate and adaptive immune responses to influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. These two non-live vaccines show different magnitudes of transcriptional responses at different time points after vaccination. Software solutions were developed to explore correlates of vaccine efficacy measured as antibody titers at day 28.

Does supervised exercise after deep venous thrombosis improve recanalization of occluded vein segments? A randomized study.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate weather early supervised exercise improves recanalization of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and reduces symptoms.

Patients And Methods: From September 2001 to March 2004, of 381 patients, 72 eligible patients were included and with a mean age 54 +/- 14 years, 39 (52%) men with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) proven with phlebography were randomized to: an exercise group (n = 36) receiving routine anticoagulation, class II compression stockings and additionally supervised exercise and a control group (n = 36) receiving the same therapy but no exercise. Patients were followed-up during six months.
