Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate if and how the panorama of acute cholecystitis changed in 2020 in Sweden. Seven aspects were identified, the incidence of cholecystitis, the Tokyo grade, the timing of diagnosis and treatment, the proportion treated with early surgery, the proportion of patients treated with delayed surgery, and new complications from gallstones.
Design: Retrospective multicentre cohort study.
Background: International guidelines recommend emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis in patients who are healthy or have mild systemic disease (ASA1-2). Surgery is also an option for patients with severe systemic disease (ASA3) in clinical practice. The study aimed to investigate the risk of complications in ASA3 patients after surgery for acute cholecystitis.

A T-test was performed once before (PRE) and twice following (POST 1 and POST 2) the completion of four sets of 4 s cycle ergometer sprints protocol. The sprint intervals were separated by 25 s active recovery.

- Cadmium is a toxic metal that can cause cancer, but its specific mechanisms of toxicity are not fully understood.
- The study shows that cadmium causes certain proteins in living cells to clump together, particularly those that are still being made or folded.
- The aggregation of these proteins can lead to further misfolding, contributing to cadmium's harmful effects and potentially linking it to diseases related to protein folding.
