Purpose: Diverticular disease increased steadily concomitant with elevated rates of overweight and obesity during the 20th century. Therefore, objective this study was to investigate whether in midlife predict future diverticular men. Methods: This a prospective cohort general population men living Göteborg, Sweden. A community-based sample 7,494 men, investigated when aged 47 55 years, were followed from baseline 1970 1973 for maximum 28 years. Hospitalization discharge diagnosis according...
In Brief Objective: To analyze the effect of underweight, overweight, and obesity in relation to clinical characteristics, risk postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, reoperations for recurrence after groin hernia surgery. Summary Background Data: Groin surgery is one most frequent operations performed general Several studies have demonstrated a protective overweight on developing primary hernia. However, has also been suggested increase Methods: Through Swedish Hernia Register,...
The role of imaging in the diagnosis appendicitis is controversial. This prospective interventional study and nested randomized trial analysed impact implementing a risk stratification algorithm based on Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score, compared routine with selective after clinical reassessment.Patients presenting suspicion between September 2009 January 2012 from age 10 years were included at 21 emergency surgical centres 5 three university paediatric centres. Registration...
In Brief Objective: Inguinal hernias are very common disorders, especially in men, with inguinal herniorrhaphy being one of the most frequently performed general surgical procedures men.

Controversies regarding understanding natural course disease, utility new diagnostic methods, alternative treatments have lead to variations practice patterns between centres. These national guidelines present evidence-based recommendations aiming at a uniform, safe cost-efficient patients....
Objective. Complicated diverticular disease is associated with extensive structural changes of the colonic wall. Turnover extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a pivotal role in this process. Proteolytic enzymes, including metalloproteinases (MMPs), are capable degrading most components ECM. Their activity regulated by inhibitors, tissue inhibitors (TIMPs). Disturbances MMP-TIMP balance can cause degradation or fibrosis. The aim study was to assess concentration and distribution MMPs TIMPs...

Objective: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3 is endemic in Northern Europe and despite a high seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgG antibodies among blood donors (≈17%), few clinical cases are notified Sweden. Low awareness hepatitis its possible symptoms may contribute to this discrepancy. The aim study was investigate the prevalence acute HEV infection hospital admitted patients with abdominal pain elevated liver enzymes.Materials methods: During 2016–2017, 148 adult serum alanine...
Background Necrotising soft‐tissue infections ( NSTIs ) are rare conditions with high morbidity and mortality. Patients often transferred to tertiary hospitals, but the question of whether potential benefits highly specialised care outweigh risks associated inter‐hospital transfers has been raised.

Abstract Introduction Acute appendicitis(AA) is a common surgical emergency. The diagnosis confirmed by the pathologists in PathologicalAnatomicDiagnoses (PAD). To get an indication for treatment combination of clinical assessment, laboratory tests and CT scan are used. Appendicitis Inflammatory Response (AIR) score can stratify probability AA as alternative to or combined wirh imaging. aim was examine use AIR respectively. Method Retrospective observational study all adult patients operated...
