Self-reported Changes in Use of and Attitudes Toward ICT in Three Generations in Sweden During the Early Phase of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

COVID-19 has affected the daily activities of people worldwide. Recommendations introduced to reduce the spread of the virus led to increased use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to meet everyday needs. Such rapid digitalization had not been seen previously and not been possible to study before.

Attitudes related to technology for active and healthy aging in a national multigenerational survey.

Research is needed to understand attitudes toward and adoption of the broad range of technologies available to support active and healthy aging in different generations. The present article gives an overview of the GenerationTech survey and sample, and describes attitudes and acceptance related to technology in general and as a means to support active and healthy aging. A national survey was conducted with a random sample (n = 2,121) including men and women from three generations (30-39, 50-59 and 70-79-year-olds) in Sweden.

Renal transplantation in patients with atypical haemolytic uraemic syndrome: a tailor made approach is necessary.

A 33-year-old woman with a history of chronic transplant dysfunction because of repeated bouts of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS) was considered for a second transplant. Extensive genetic investigation of the complement system was executed to rule out known mutations prone to development of HUS. This case illustrates the importance of genetic screening in patients with recurrent HUS.

The effect of the initiation of renal replacement therapy on lipid profile and oxidative stress during the first 6 months of treatment.

Background: Disturbed lipoproteins and increased oxidative stress are two of the "non-traditional" cardiovascular risk factors in chronic renal failure. There are very few prospective data of the influence of dialysis on these two factors. In the present study we investigated the effects of the initiation of both hemo- and peritoneal dialysis therapy on lipoproteins and parameters of LDL oxidation.
