Background: Respiratory infections in early life is one identified risk factor for asthma. We hypothesized that infection preventive measures during the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the risk of respiratory morbidity and aeroallergen sensitization in early childhood.
Objective: To compare respiratory morbidity and aeroallergen sensitization in children born before and during the pandemic.
Background: Vertigo and dizziness can be disabling symptoms that result in sick leave. Research regarding sickness absence due to dizziness has focused on specific vestibular diagnoses rather than the nonspecific vertigo/dizziness diagnoses. Strict sick leave regulations were introduced in Sweden in 2008.

- - The study investigates the prevalence of chronic airflow limitation (CAL), emphysema, and impaired lung diffusing capacity (Dl) in a middle-aged Swedish population (ages 50-64) in relation to smoking habits and respiratory symptoms.
- - Results showed that 8.8% had CAL and emphysema, and 5.7% had impaired Dl, with higher rates in current smokers compared to ex-smokers and never-smokers.
- - The research indicates that CAL and impaired Dl are linked to common respiratory symptoms, while asthma in never-smokers with CAL shows distinct characteristics that may require different clinical management than traditional smoking-related COPD.
Background: Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated that early introduction of allergenic foods, such as peanut and egg, can reduce food allergy in high-risk children. Many international guidelines recommend introduction of allergenic foods in the first year of life, and accordingly, the Swedish National Food agency released updated guidelines in June 2019.
Objective: Our aim was to examine whether the age at introduction and consumption frequency of allergenic foods have changed since release of the revised national guidelines on the introduction of solid foods in Sweden.
Background: Depression is a top-ranking global health concern increasing in magnitude. Available treatments for adolescents and young adults are not convincingly effective and relapse rates remain high. Training for Awareness, Resilience and Action (TARA) is a group treatment program targeting specific pathophysiological mechanisms of depression in young people.
