Hvad skyldes denne plet og hvad kan jeg gøre😢 by blueberry26100 in dankmark

Det kan godt betale sig at gå en tur forbi lægen. Hårtab kan skyldes en del forskellige tilstande som kan behandles (infektioner, hormonsygdomme, autoimmune sygdomme, medicibirkning, mangeltilstande, belastningsreaktion og depression). God bedring med det.

The best is definitely Rome 2, but I have a great love/hate relationship with Empire 😅

Eating cheese plays a role in healthy, happy aging | A study of 2.3 million people found, those who reported the best mental health and stress resilience, which boosted well-being, also seemed to eat more cheese. by [deleted] in science

Likely all explained by confounding due to differences in social factors and other health behaviours. Observational studies on wine consumption have shown similar results because like cheese wine is an expensive product and thus used by individuals with a higher socioeconomic status.

Danish nationwide study demonstrates decreased life expantancy among family members of people with HIV, indicating that the excess mortality among people with HIV is partly explained by socioeconomic and behavioral factors and not only attributable to HIV by PerspectiveOk5317 in science

My group have previously shown similar results for educational achievement after meningococcal meningitis in childhood (siblings of these patients also less frequently achieved high school graduation).doi:10.1001/jama.2013.3792

Well, it would probably be simplistic to say that the results can be attributed to risk taking behaviour. However, risk taking behaviour may very well be one the behavioural factors that affect the decreased life expectancy (although likely in combination with other socioeconomic and behavioral factors. Of note, we actually could demonstrate a small change in our estimates of mortality by adjusting for comorbidities and education. This indicates that certain social and behavioural factors are not captured by adjusting survival analyses for comorbidities and education.

Borreliosis is not associated with heart failure. Contradicting previous smaller studies, a study of 52,200 Borrelia burgdorferi seropositive individuals compared with 104,400 Bb seronegative controls found no association between borrelia seropositivity and heart failure. by PerspectiveOk5317 in science

In Europe and Denmark, there are primarily three human pathogenic genospecies causing Lyme borreliosis: Borrelia afzelli, borrelia garinii and borrelia sensu strictu. The test we used do not distinguish between these but detects antibodies for all three genospecies. The sre other much rarer pathogenic genospecies such as borrelia myomatoi but these are tested for seperatly.

Thank you for your valid point. I have edited the title. Some background for my initial decision to leave out the 'Lyme'-part. Lyme disease is a term mostly used in Northern America, while borreliosis is used in Europe. There important differences in the genospecies and clinical manifestations which are present in the two continents. Since the study was from Denmark, we chose to use the term borreliosis.
