Alcohol-attributed disease burden and formal alcohol policies in the Nordic countries (1990-2019): an analysis using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019.

It is still unclear how changes in alcohol control policies may have contributed to changes in overall levels of alcohol-attributed harm between and within the Nordic countries. We modified and applied the Bridging the Gap (BtG)-scale to measure the restrictiveness of a set of alcohol control policies for each Nordic country and each year between 1990 and 2019. Alcohol-attributed harm was measured as total and sex-specific alcohol-attributed disease burden by age-standardized years of life losts (YLLs), years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) per 100 000 population from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD).

Food insecurity and other barriers to adherence to a gluten-free diet in individuals with coeliac disease and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity in the Netherlands: a mixed-methods study.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of food insecurity among individuals with coeliac disease (CeD) and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) in the Netherlands and explore its association with diet quality and other barriers to adherence to a gluten-free diet.

Design: Mixed-method design comprising a survey and semistructured interviews.

Setting: An online survey was distributed through social media accounts and the newsletter of the Dutch Association for Celiac Disease.

Sinonasal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in the Netherlands: A Population-Based Study of 568 Cases Diagnosed in 2008-2021.

Background: Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma is known for its rarity and poor prognosis. This study aims to investigate the trends in the incidence of sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma in the Netherlands and to analyze patient characteristics and treatment practices in order to assess their relation with patient outcomes.

Methods: In this prospectively designed population-based cohort study, all patients diagnosed with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma between 2008 and 2021 in the Netherlands were included.

Swirling Flow Quantification in Helical Stents Using Ultrasound Velocimetry.

Objective: Helical stents have been developed to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in the superficial femoral artery (SFA), with the premise that their particular geometry could promote swirling flow in the blood. The aim of this work is to provide evidence on the existence of this swirling flow by quantifying its signatures.

Materials And Methods: This study consists of in vitro and in vivo parts.

Immune Cell Profiles of Patients with Sickle Cell Disease during Parvovirus B19-Induced Transient Red Cell Aplasia.

Parvovirus B19 frequently infects children and targets cells of the erythroid lineage. Although healthy children rarely suffer severe disease, children with sickle cell disease (SCD) can experience transient red cell aplasia (TRCA), hospitalization, and life-threatening anemia upon first virus exposure. Given that children with SCD can also suffer chronic inflammation and that parvovirus B19 has been associated with autoimmune disease in other patient populations, we asked if parvovirus B19 infections contributed to acute and chronic immune abnormalities in children with SCD.
