AimsAlthough highly heritable, the genetic etiology of calcific aortic stenosis (AS) remains incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to discover novel genetic contributors to AS and to integrate functional, expression, and cross-phenotype data to identify mechanisms of AS.Methods and resultsA genome-wide meta-analysis of 11.6 million variants in 10 cohorts involving 653 867 European ancestry participants (13 765 cases) was performed. Seventeen loci were associated with AS at P ≤ 5 × 10-8, of which 15 replicated in an independent cohort of 90 828 participants (7111 cases), including CELSR2-SORT1, NLRP6, and SMC2. A genetic risk score comprised of the index variants was associated with AS [odds ratio (OR) per standard deviation, 1.31; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.26-1.35; P = 2.7 × 10-51] and aortic valve calcium (OR per standard deviation, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.08-1.37; P = 1.4 × 10-3), after adjustment for known risk factors. A phenome-wide association study indicated multiple associations with coronary artery disease, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides. Mendelian randomization supported a causal role for apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein particles in AS (OR per g/L of apolipoprotein B, 3.85; 95% CI, 2.90-5.12; P = 2.1 × 10-20) and replicated previous findings of causality for lipoprotein(a) (OR per natural logarithm, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.17-1.23; P = 4.8 × 10-73) and body mass index (OR per kg/m2, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.05-1.9; P = 1.9 × 10-12). Colocalization analyses using the GTEx database identified a role for differential expression of the genes LPA, SORT1, ACTR2, NOTCH4, IL6R, and FADS.ConclusionDyslipidemia, inflammation, calcification, and adiposity play important roles in the etiology of AS, implicating novel treatments and prevention strategies.

- Abstract
Objective: To assess the efficacy of inhaled ciclesonide in reducing the duration of oxygen therapy (an indicator of time to clinical improvement) among adults hospitalised with COVID-19. Design: Multicentre, randomised, controlled, open-label trial .Setting: 9 hospitals (3 academic hospitals and 6 non-academic hospitals) in Sweden between 1 June 2020 and 17 May 2021. Participants: Adults hospitalised with COVID-19 and receiving oxygen therapy. Intervention: Inhaled ciclesonide 320 mu g two times a day for 14 days versus standard care. Main outcome measures: Primary outcome was duration of oxygen therapy, an indicator of time to clinical improvement. Key secondary outcome was a composite of invasive mechanical ventilation/death. Results: Data from 98 participants were analysed (48 receiving ciclesonide and 50 receiving standard care; median (IQR) age, 59.5 (49-67) years; 67 (68%) men). Median (IQR) duration of oxygen therapy was 5.5 (3-9) days in the ciclesonide group and 4 (2-7) days in the standard care group (HR for termination of oxygen therapy 0.73 (95% CI 0.47 to 1.11), with the upper 95% CI being compatible with a 10% relative reduction in oxygen therapy duration, corresponding to a < 1 day absolute reduction in a post-hoc calculation). Three participants in each group died/received invasive mechanical ventilation (HR 0.90 (95% CI 0.15 to 5.32)). The trial was discontinued early due to slow enrolment. Conclusions: In patients hospitalised with COVID-19 receiving oxygen therapy, this trial ruled out, with 0.95 confidence, a treatment effect of ciclesonide corresponding to more than a 1 day reduction in duration of oxygen therapy. Ciclesonide is unlikely to improve this outcome meaningfully.

- Abstract
Objectives: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease among adults. The adipocyte-derived hormones, leptin and adiponectin, have profound metabolic actions. We examined whether these adipokines are independently associated with future aortic valve replacement (AVR). Design: In this longitudinal case-control study, we identified 336 cases who had undergone AVR due to AS, and who had previously participated in population-based health surveys. Two referents were matched to each case and leptin and adiponectin concentrations were analysed from stored baseline survey samples. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the risk of future AVR. An additional cohort was identified for validation including 106 cases with AVR and 212 matched referents. Results: Median age (interquartile range (IQR)) in years at survey was 59.9 (10.4) and at surgery 68.3 (12.7), and 48% were women. An elevated concentration of leptin was not associated with future AVR (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]) (1.10 [0.92–1.32]), although leptin was associated with a higher risk in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) having more than 5 years between survey and AVR (1.41 [1.08–1.84]). Adiponectin was not associated with higher risk for future AVR (0.95 [0.82–1.11]), although after stratification for age, higher levels were associated with reduced risk for AVR in persons aged ≥60 years at surgery (0.79 [0.64–0.98]). In the validation study, leptin was associated with future AVR whereas adiponectin was not. None of the associations remained significant after adjustment for body mass index (BMI). Conclusions: The adipokine leptin may promote the development of AS.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Surgery of ascending aortic aneurysms is performed prophylactically or acute. The expected survival after surgery is uncertain. The goal of this study was to compare mortality in people with aortic surgery with matched controls. METHODS: All patients undergoing ascending aortic surgery at Umeå University Hospital from 1988 to 2012, who previously participated in 1 of 3 population-based health surveys, were matched to 2 randomly selected controls from the same health survey and followed until death or until censoring on 24 August 2017, whichever came first. Mortality was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Cox regression analyses were made for all-cause mortality, adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Deaths during the first 90 days after surgery and at >90 days postoperatively were studied separately. RESULTS: The median follow-up time was 9.2 years. A total of 61 of 189 patients and 51 of 370 controls died [hazard ratio (HR) 2.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.91-4.01]. Mortality was increased during the first 90 days post-surgery (HR 43.4, 95% CI 5.83-323), as well as after the first 90 days (HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.25-2.88) and after acute surgery (HR 6.05, 95% CI 2.92-12.56) as well as after elective surgery (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.35-3.27). Among 57 surgical patients with information about cause of death, 23 (40%) died of aortic disease. CONCLUSIONS: During follow-up, more patients died than matched controls. Findings were consistent when adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and across subgroups. Both short-term and long-term postoperative deaths were increased as well.

Background: More students state that they are exposed to bullying and the mental illness among adolescents increases. Previous research states that there is a connection between bullying and reduced well-being, where social factors have been emphasized as risk and protective factors for both bullying and well-being. However, it is not well studied which social factors who has the biggest impact on well-being based on positive and negative aspects. Social capital was used as a theoretical frame to explain the social factors’ influence on adolescent’s well-being. Aim: The aim of the study was to study bullying and which social factors who has the biggest impact on well-being among adolescents in the County Council of Västmanland. Method: Based on the Survey of Adolescent Life in Västmanland 2012, a quantitative approach was applied with a cross-sectional design. A total of 4226 students from 9th grade of compulsory school and the 2nd year of upper secondary school in the County Council of Västmanland were included. Descriptive analyzes and multiple linear regression analyzes were performed. Results: Positive influences showed greater variety in well-being and future optimism than negative influences. Negative experiences had a greater influence than positive experiences while physical, verbal and psychological bullying had a low influence. Conclusion: A majority of students had not experienced any form of bullying where physical bullying was least common while mental bullying was most common. Students’ well-being was highly rated, boys rated their well-being as better than girls. School well-being and negative experiences had the greatest influence in well-being and future optimism.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Early detection of coronary atherosclerosis using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), in addition to coronary artery calcification (CAC) scoring, may help inform prevention strategies. We used CCTA to determine the prevalence, severity, and characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis and its association with CAC scores in a general population. METHODS: We recruited 30 154 randomly invited individuals age 50 to 64 years to SCAPIS (the Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage Study). The study includes individuals without known coronary heart disease (ie, no previous myocardial infarctions or cardiac procedures) and with high-quality results from CCTA and CAC imaging performed using dedicated dual-source CT scanners. Noncontrast images were scored for CAC. CCTA images were visually read and scored for coronary atherosclerosis per segment (defined as no atherosclerosis, 1% to 49% stenosis, or ≥50% stenosis). External validity of prevalence estimates was evaluated using inverse probability for participation weighting and Swedish register data. RESULTS: In total, 25 182 individuals without known coronary heart disease were included (50.6% women). Any CCTA-detected atherosclerosis was found in 42.1%; any significant stenosis (≥50%) in 5.2%; left main, proximal left anterior descending artery, or 3-vessel disease in 1.9%; and any noncalcified plaques in 8.3% of this population. Onset of atherosclerosis was delayed on average by 10 years in women. Atherosclerosis was more prevalent in older individuals and predominantly found in the proximal left anterior descending artery. Prevalence of CCTA-detected atherosclerosis increased with increasing CAC scores. Among those with a CAC score >400, all had atherosclerosis and 45.7% had significant stenosis. In those with 0 CAC, 5.5% had atherosclerosis and 0.4% had significant stenosis. In participants with 0 CAC and intermediate 10-year risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease according to the pooled cohort

Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet minskar bland ungdomar samtidigt som stress ökar. Kombinationen av fysisk inaktivitet och stress utgör ett folkhälsoproblem som behöver beaktas och undersökas. Samtidigt minskar även deltagandet i föreningsidrott med åldern. Krav-kontroll-stöd-modellen är en modell som ofta tillämpas inom arbetshälsa och förklarar individers beteende och stress. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka förekomsten av fysisk aktivitet bland gymnasieelever samt eventuella samband mellan fysisk aktivitet och självskattad stress. Metod: Via en kvantitativ studie genomfördes en webbenkätundersökning på gymnasieelever i Västerås med ett urval på 150 elever. Totalt svarade 56 gymnasieelever på enkäten bestående av 40 kvinnor och 16 män. Data analyserades med hjälp av frekvenstabeller, chi2-test och Spearmans rho. Resultat: Gymnasieeleverna var i stor omfattning fysiskt aktiva, men enbart 39% utövade föreningsidrott. Ungefär 70% var fysiskt aktiva minst 3 gånger i veckan. Drygt hälften av gymnasieeleverna uppgav att de upplevt psykosomatiska besvär under de senaste 30 dagarna, medan 60% uppgav någon form av stress. Spearmans rho gav en signifikant negativ korrelation mellan frekvensen av fysisk aktivitet och självskattad stress.

Background: The relationship between family firms and auditors is not a topic that is very well examined. This is also a relationship that is extraordinary because they have different aims with the relationship. Since the family firms seek for long and close relationships while the auditor needs to maintain their independence. There have also been several scandals in the past between family firms and their auditor where the relationship has become to close. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the auditor’s role in family firms, how value is co-created and what value that is co-created when they interact with each other. Method: To answer the research question the data in this study is collected through semi- structured interviews. The interviews were performed and inspired by previous studies which we developed a framework on to have as a guideline during the interviews. The participants in the study were three family firms and their respective auditor and the participants were located in the same geographical area. Findings: In this study, we have focused on how and what value family firms and auditors co- create when they interact with each other. The study suggests important aspects of the family firm and auditor relation to facilitating the value co-creation process. The aspects that were revealed as important were the relationship, communication, collaborative, trust, and experience from the auditor. The study also investigated which values family firms and auditors co-create, these were smarter planning, increase of effectiveness, exchange of knowledge, expanded networks, and value for society.

- Abstract
Importance: Aortic stenosis (AS) has no approved medical treatment. Identifying etiological pathways for AS could identify pharmacological targets. Objective: To identify novel genetic loci and pathways associated with AS. Design, Setting, and Participants: This genome-wide association study used a case-control design to evaluate 44 703 participants (3469 cases of AS) of self-reported European ancestry from the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging (GERA) cohort (from January 1, 1996, to December 31, 2015). Replication was performed in 7 other cohorts totaling 256 926 participants (5926 cases of AS), with additional analyses performed in 6942 participants from the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium. Follow-up biomarker analyses with aortic valve calcium (AVC) were also performed. Data were analyzed from May 1, 2017, to December 5, 2019. Exposures: Genetic variants (615 643 variants) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-6 and ω-3) measured in blood samples. Main Outcomes and Measures: Aortic stenosis and aortic valve replacement defined by electronic health records, surgical records, or echocardiography and the presence of AVC measured by computed tomography. Results: The mean (SD) age of the 44 703 GERA participants was 69.7 (8.4) years, and 22 019 (49.3%) were men. The rs174547 variant at the FADS1/2 locus was associated with AS (odds ratio [OR] per C allele, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.93; P = 3.0 × 10-6), with genome-wide significance after meta-analysis with 7 replication cohorts totaling 312 118 individuals (9395 cases of AS) (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.88-0.94; P = 2.5 × 10-8). A consistent association with AVC was also observed (OR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83-0.99; P = .03). A higher ratio of arachidonic acid to linoleic acid was associated with AVC (OR per SD of the natural logarithm, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.09-1.30; P = 6.6 × 10-5). In mendelian randomization, increased FADS1 liver expression and arachidonic acid were associa

- Abstract
Aims: High-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) may convey prognostic information in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). This study evaluated if hs-TnT and hs-CRP associate with myocardial mass, and risk of future surgery for AS. Methods: In total, 336 patients (48% women) with surgery for AS with previous participation in large population surveys were identified. Preoperatively, myocardial mass and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) were assessed. Two matched referents were allocated for each case, and hs-TnT and hs-CRP were determined in stored plasma from the baseline survey. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the risk (OR (95% CI)) related to one (natural logarithm) SD increase in hs-TnT and hs-CRP. Kaplan-Mayer and Cox regression analyses were used to evaluate time to surgery. Results: Median age (IQR) was 59.8 (10.3) years at survey, and median time between survey and surgery was 10.9 (9.3) years. Hs-TnT was independently associated with surgery for AS (1.24 (1.06–1.44)) irrespective of CAD, whereas Hs-CRP was not (1.05 (0.90–1.22)). Elevated hs-TnT levels at survey associated with shorter time to surgery (p<0.001), and with increased myocardial mass (p=0.002). Hs-CRP did not associate with time to surgery or with myocardial mass. Conclusions: Hs-TnT—but not hs-CRP—was associated with increased risk of—and shorter time to—future surgery for AS. Hs-TnT associated with myocardial mass at surgery which indicates that hs-TnT could be a potential biomarker for determining intervention., Previously included in thesis in manuscript form

Forskning inom corporate social responsibility (CSR) har lyft fram de ekonomiska fördelarna med socialt ansvarstagande och hur investerare reagerar på positiva och negativa nyheter gällande olika aspekter av bolags CSR-arbete. Tredjepartsaktörer har även visat sig kunna överbrygga informationsasymmetri mellan bolag och investerare gällande CSR-arbetet och därmed påverka börsvärdet för berörda bolag. Denna studie undersöker hur tredjepartssignaler i form av ranking inom CSR-området jämställdhet påverkar berörda bolag på Stockholmsbörsen. Detta görs genom en eventstudie där abnormal avkastning beräknas för bolag på dagen för offentliggörandet av stiftelsen Allbrights årliga jämställdhetsrapport där svenska börsbolag kategoriseras och rankas efter graden av jämställdhet. Eventstudien omfattar åren 2012-2018. Studiens resultat visar att negativ kategorisering leder till negativ abnormal avkastning som är koncentrerad till rapportdagen. Vidare indikerar studiens resultat att Allbrights ranking fått ökad kurspåverkan över tid.

- Abstract
Recently, a new approach was proposed to detect mild impairment in renal function: a reduced ratio between estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated by cystatin C and eGFR calculated by creatinine. We aimed to evaluate if this ratio is associated with aortic stenosis (AS) requiring surgery. We identified 336 patients that first participated in population surveys and later underwent surgery for AS (median age [interquartile range] 59.8 [10.3] years at survey and 68.3 [12.7] at surgery, 48% females). For each patient, two matched referents were allocated. Cystatin C and creatinine were determined in stored plasma. eGFR(cystatin C) and eGFR(creatinine) and their ratio were estimated. Conditional logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the risk (odds ratio (OR) with [95% confidence interval (CI)]) related to one (ln) standard deviation increase in the ratio between eGFR(cystatin C) and eGFR(creatinine). A high ratio was associated with lower risk for AS requiring surgery (OR [95% CI]) (OR 0.84 [0.73-0.97]), especially in women (0.74 [0.60-0.92] vs. 0.93 [0.76-1.13] in men). After further stratification for coronary artery disease (CAD), the association remained in women with CAD but not in women without CAD (0.60 [0.44-0.83] and 0.89 [0.65-1.23], respectively). In conclusion, a high ratio between eGFR(cystatin C) and eGFR(creatinine) was associated with lower risk for surgery for AS, especially in women. Mild impairment of renal function is thus associated with future risk for AS requiring surgery.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVES: Due to age-related differences in aortic valve structure, it is likely that the pathophysiology of aortic stenosis (AS) and associated risk factors differ between age groups. Here we prospectively studied the influence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors on AS development requiring surgery among patients without concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) and stratified for age. DESIGN: This study included 322 patients, who had prior to surgery for AS participated in population-based surveys, and 131 of them had no visible CAD upon preoperative coronary angiogram. For each case, we selected four referents matched for age, gender, and geographic area. To identify predictors for surgery, we used multivariable conditional logistic regression with a model including arterial hypertension (or measured blood pressure and antihypertensive medication), cholesterol levels, diabetes, body mass index (BMI), and smoking. RESULTS: In patients without CAD, future surgery for AS was associated with arterial hypertension and elevated levels of diastolic blood pressure in patients younger than 60 years at surgery (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]), (3.40 [1.45-7.93] and 1.60 [1.09-2.37], respectively), and with only impaired fasting glucose tolerance in patients 60 years or older at surgery (3.22 [1.19-8.76]). CONCLUSION: Arterial hypertension and elevated diastolic blood pressure are associated with a risk for AS requiring surgery in subjects below 60 years of age. Strict blood pressure control in this group is strongly advocated to avoid other cardiovascular diseases correlated to hypertension. If hypertension and elevated diastolic blood pressure are risk factors for developing AS requiring surgery need further investigations. Notably, elevated fasting glucose levels were related to AS requiring surgery in older adults without concomitant CAD.

Introduction: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common hemodynamic significant valvular heart disease and affects about 2% of the population. The incidence increases with age. When symptoms of the stenotic aortic valve disease eventually occur the 2-year mortality exceeds 50%. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) by surgery or by catheter intervention is the only known treatment. The causes of AS are only partly known, despite that the disease has been known since the beginning of 17th century. In younger individuals, a bicuspid valve is present in about 80% of the cases. The traditional cardiovascular risk-factors for ischemic heart disease have been linked to AS, and the histology of the stenotic aortic valve and the atherosclerotic plaques shares several features such as inflammation, lipid deposition and calcification. High levels of the lipoprotein Lp(a) has been linked to both atherosclerosis and AS, and a causal relation with AS is supported by Mandelian randomisation. End-stage renal disease is associated with increased risk of AS but if early impairment increases the risk is not known. Material and methods: We identified 799 patients with surgery for valvular heart disease and/or disease of the ascending aorta with a prior participation in one of three large population based health surveys in northern Sweden (Västerbotten Intervention Program [VIP], MONItoring Of trends and Determinants in CArdivascular Disease survey [MONICA], and the Mammary Screening Project [MSP]). For each case, four referents matched by age, gender, type and date of survey, and geographical area were randomly selected. From the health surveys, data on cardiovascular risk-factors and health history as well as measurements of anthropometry, blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol levels were retrieved. Each case was carefully validated and data from pre- and perioperative assessments were collected. The presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) was determined from the preoperative coronary angiogram. Apolipoproteins B and A1, Lp(a), creatinine and cystatin C were analysed in samples obtained at the initial survey. As this is a matched case-referent study where cases and referents had the same follow-up duration within strata, logistic regression using the conditional maximum likelihood routine designed for matched analysis was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Studied variables were tested in uni- and multivariable models. Results: Paper 1: Of the identified 799 cases with questionnaires, 322 were primarily operated for AS, 91 for aortic regurgitation, 181 for mitral regurgitation, 131 for disease of ascending aorta, 52 for CAD (and for concomitant valvular or aortic disease). The remaining 22 had various indications for valvular heart surgery and were excluded. Altogether 38% of patients were women. Aortic stenosis: Hypertension (OR 1.87 [1.37–2.54]), diabetes (OR 1.78 [1.01–3.11]) and total cholesterol (OR 1.64 [1.07–2.49]) were associated with future AVR. After exclusion of concomitant CAD, none of the these risk-factors remained significant. Aortic regurgitation: None of the cardiovascular risk-factors was associated with increased risk for aortic regurgitation demanding surgery, whereas high levels of cholesterol were associated with reduced risk for surgery (OR 0.29 [0.12–0.71]). Mitral regurgitation: High levels of cholesterol associated with surgery for mitral regurgitation (OR 1.74 [1.01–3.00]), but not in those without CAD. Disease of the ascending aorta: Hypertension (OR 2.42 [1.44–4.06]) and previous smoking (OR 1.97 (1.12–3.49]) related to increased risk for surgery of the ascending aorta, whereas diabetes was inversely associated with surgery (OR 0.09 [0.01–0.73]). Excluding CAD, only diabetes remained protective (OR 0.24 [0.07–0.81]). Paper 2: 322 patients underwent AVR, and 70 had surgery before the age of 60 years and 252 had surgery after 60 years of age. After exclusion of patients with CAD, 49 and 82 patients remained in these age groups. Arterial hypertension associated with future AVR in those operated before the age of 60 years regardless of concomitant CAD or not (OR 3.40 [1.45–7.93] and OR 5.88 [1.46–23.72]). In those older than 60 years at surgery and with concomitant CAD, all traditional cardiovascular risk factors associated with surgery, but in those without concomitant CAD, only impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was associated with surgery (OR 3.22 [1.19–8.76]). Paper 3: 336 patients having surgery for AS. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] was independently associated with surgery in those with concomitant CAD (OR 1.29 [1.07–1.55]), but not in those without CAD. A high Apo B/A1 ratio was associated with surgery in patients with CAD (OR 1.43 [1.16–1.76]), but not in those without. Paper 4: The same cohort as in paper 3 was examined. Renal function was estimated by the ratio between glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) obtained from cystatin C and creatinine, and a low ratio indicates early impairment of renal function (“shrunken pore syndrome”). A high ratio independently associated with lower risk for future AVR (OR 0.84 [0.73–0.97]). Protective effect was seen in women but not in men (0.74 [0.60–0.92] and 0.93 [0.76 [0.76–1.13], respectively). After stratification for CAD, the association remained significant in women with CAD but not in men with CAD (0.60 [0.44–0.83] and 0.96 [0.76 [0.75–1.23], respectively). Conclusion: The traditional cardiovascular risk-factors associated with future surgery for valvular heart disease and for surgery of the ascending aorta, however with a clear difference if there was concomitant CAD or not. Arterial hypertension was a major risk factor for surgery for AS in younger patients without CAD, whereas impaired fasting glucose (IFG) associated with surgery in elderly patients without CAD. High levels of Lp(a) and a high Apo B/A1 ratio were associated with future AVR only in patients with concomitant CAD. Similarly, early renal impairment expressed as low ratio of eGFR by cystatin C and by creatinine (“shrunken pore”) associated with future AVR.

- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) has different clinical phenotypes, including AS with or without concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). It is unknown whether these phenotypes share the same risk factors. In particular, lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and apolipoproteins (Apo) are associated with AS, but it is unknown whether these associations differ among phenotypes. In this prospective analysis we examined the impact of Lp(a) and Apo in subgroups of patients with AS. METHODS AND RESULTS: We identified 336 patients (mean age at survey 56.7 years, 48% female) who underwent surgery for AS after a median 10.9 years (interquartile range 9.3 years), participants in 1 of 3 large population surveys. For each patient, 2 matched referents were allocated. Lp(a) and Apo were analyzed in the baseline samples. Uni- and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to estimate risks related to a 1 (ln) standard deviation increase in Lp(a) and the ratio of Apo B to Apo A1 (Apo B/A1 ratio). High levels of Lp(a) predicted surgery for AS in 203 patients with concomitant CAD (odds ratio [95% confidence intervals]) (1.29 [1.07-1.55]), but not in 132 patients without CAD (1.04 [0.83-1.29]) in the fully adjusted model. Similarly, a high Apo B/A1 ratio predicted surgery in patients with concomitant CAD (1.43 [1.16-1.76]) but not in those without CAD (0.87 [0.69-1.10]). CONCLUSIONS: High levels of Lp(a) and a high Apo B/A1 ratio were associated with surgery for AS in patients with concomitant CAD but not in those with isolated AS. This finding may lead to a new avenue of research for targeted risk factor interventions in this population.

- Abstract
Background: Risk factors for developing heart valve and ascending aortic disease are based mainly on retrospective data. To elucidate these factors in a prospective manner, we have performed a nested case-referent study using data from large, population-based surveys. Methods and Results: A total of 777 patients operated for heart valve disease or disease of the ascending aorta had previously participated in population-based health surveys in Northern Sweden. Median time (interquartile range) from survey to surgery was 10.5 (9.0) years. Primary indications for surgery were aortic stenosis (41%), aortic regurgitation (12%), mitral regurgitation (23%), and dilatation/dissection of the ascending aorta (17%). For each case, referents were allocated, matched for age, sex, and geographical area. In multivariable models, surgery for aortic stenosis was predicted by hypertension, high cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus, and active smoking. Surgery for aortic regurgitation was associated with a low cholesterol level, whereas a high cholesterol level predicted surgery for mitral regurgitation. Hypertension, blood pressure, and previous smoking predicted surgery for disease of the ascending aorta whereas diabetes mellitus was associated with reduced risk. After exclusion of cases with coronary atherosclerosis, only the inverse associations between cholesterol and aortic regurgitation and between diabetes mellitus and disease of the ascending aorta remained. Conclusions: This is the first truly prospective study of traditional cardiovascular risk factors and their association with valvular heart disease and disease of the ascending aorta. We confirm the strong association between traditional risk factors and aortic stenosis, but only in patients with concomitant coronary artery disease. In isolated valvular heart disease, the impact of traditional risk factors is varying.

Mycoplasma genitalium , causing non‐gonococcal non‐chlamydial urethritis and associated with cervicitis, has developed antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to both the macrolide azithromycin (first‐line treatment) and the fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin (second‐line treatment). Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of resistance, based on genetic AMR determinants, to these antimicrobials in theM. genitalium population in two Swedish counties, Örebro and Halland, 2011–2015. In total, 672M. genitalium positive urogenital samples were sequenced for 23S rRNA andparC gene mutations associated with macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance, respectively. Of the samples, 18.6% and 3.2% in Örebro and 15.2% and 2.7% in Halland contained mutations associated with macrolide and fluoroquinolone resistance, respectively. The predominating resistance‐associated mutations in the 23S rRNA gene was A2059G (n = 39) in Örebro and A2058G (n = 13) and A2059G (n = 13) in Halland. The most prevalent possible resistance‐associated ParC amino acid alterations were S83I (n = 4) in Örebro and S83N (n = 2) in Halland. Resistance‐associated mutations to both macrolides and fluoroquinolones were found in 0.7% of samples. Our findings emphasize the need for routine AMR testing, at a minimum for macrolide resistance, of allM. genitalium ‐positive samples and regular national and international surveillance of AMR inM. genitalium , to ensure effective patient management and rational antimicrobial use.

This open access book provides a multifold exploration of how people in early modern Europe understood, conducted, and actively used private conversations. From sharing personal matters to discussing delicate secrets, all layers of early modern society had their motives for wanting to keep certain exchanges out of public eyes and ears, and ways of trying to achieve this. Detecting such instances in historical sources typically becomes a complex pursuit, full of subtle references that require creative approaches, especially when it comes to more informal practices. Yet, in a reading against the grain, different sources can offer us hints of how conversations took place in private. The book consists of a historiographical and methodological introduction to the study of private conversations, followed by ten case studies from a variety of cities, villages, and countryside across early modern Europe. The concluding epilogue suggests some pathways to further explore the terrain of how people have talked in private in past societies.

This volume explores how changes that we tend to associate with the Enlightenment were intertwined with practices and rationales within Lutheran confessional culture in the two Nordic states during the long eighteenth century. It does so by examining several well-rehearsed topics of Enlightenment studies. Scientific novelties, realized policies, and reading as well as printing practices are all themes that return in this book; here they are understood in relation to the various modes and rationales of confessional culture. More precisely, all the contributions to the present volume deal with ideas related to three ‘R’s: reason, rationalism and reform. The eighteenth century encountered in this volume is not only a story of clashes and conflicts. Reason is not necessarily seen as replacing religious belief, nor is rationalism viewed as opposed to reasonings occurring within religious policies or institutions. Evidence of reform may in some cases be interpreted as expressions of Enlightenment; but there is a recurring echo of previous religious transformations and measures promoting renewal, not least in relation to the historical experience of the Lutheran Reformation. Therefore, the writers have chosen to place the notion of ‘religious Enlightenment’ at the core of this book. All the various chapters proceed from this fundamental conception in their explorations of ideas and practices that were embedded in a landscape shaped by both reason and orthodoxy.
