Forty years of successful national research collaboration in liver disease - the Swedish experience.

Aim: Sweden has historically provided a fruitful arena for research in clinical medicine. We here share 40 years of experience of collaboration in the Swedish hepatology research group (SWEHEP) (https://www.swehep.

[Health-related quality of life for patients with inflammatory bowel disease requires more than anti-inflammatory treatment].

The care of IBD patients aims to achieve the best possible health. The treatment goals in IBD should therefore, in addition to stable control of intestinal inflammation, also consider health-related quality of life (HRQL) and extraintestinal complications. Fatigue is an underrecognized array of symptoms that need more attention and, if possible, treatment.

Hypophosphatemia attenuates improvements in vitality after intravenous iron treatment in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Purpose: Iron deficiency anemia is common in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), causing deterioration in quality of life, which can be reversed by treatment that increases iron stores and hemoglobin levels. The present post hoc analyses estimate health state utility values for patients with IBD after treatment with ferric derisomaltose or ferric carboxymaltose and evaluate the health domains driving the changes.

Methods: SF-36v2 responses were recorded at baseline and day 14, 35, 49, and 70 from 97 patients enrolled in the randomized, double-blind, PHOSPHARE-IBD trial (ClinicalTrials.

Carry-over effect of artificial light at night on daytime mating activity in an ecologically important detritivore, the amphipod Gammarus pulex.

Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing environmental problem influencing the fitness of individuals through effects on their physiology and behaviour. Research on animals has primarily focused on effects on behaviour during the night, whereas less is known about effects transferred to daytime. Here, we investigated in the lab the impact of ALAN on the mating behaviour of an ecologically important freshwater amphipod, Gammarus pulex, during both daytime and nighttime.

Urgent endovascular mycotic aortic arch aneurysm repair using in situ laser fenestration and selective arterial perfusion with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

In recent years, mycotic aortic aneurysms have been increasingly treated successfully by endovascular means. The introduction of custom-made fenestrated and branched devices, parallel graft techniques, and in situ fenestration has enabled total endovascular treatment also for arch pathologies. We describe a total endovascular repair of a mycotic arch aneurysm with in situ laser fenestration using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to preserve flow to vital organs.
