Therefore, the criticism of the Swedish Security Police is unjustified [Swedish]
The criticism directed at the Swedish Security Police, Säpo, in connection with the arrest of a man suspected of preparing for a terrorist crime, is understandable but unjustified.

“Iran’s human rights abuses continue despite agreement” [Swedish]

The effects of oxygen therapy on myocardial salvage in ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with acute percutaneous coronary intervention – The Supplemental Oxygen in Catheterized Coronary Emergency Reperfusion (SOCCER) study
Objectives Despite a lack of scientific evidence, oxygen has long been a part of standard treatment for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, several studies suggest that oxygen therapy may have negative cardiovascular effects. We here describe a randomized controlled trial, i.e. Supplemental Oxygen in Catheterized Coronary Emergency Reperfusion (SOCCER), aiming to evaluate the…
The effects of oxygen therapy on myocardial salvage in ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with acute percutaneous coronary intervention – The Supplemental Oxygen in Catheterized Coronary Emergency Reperfusion (SOCCER) study
The SOCCER trial addresses a significant knowledge gap in the routine care of patients with AMI. Even though oxygen therapy is part of standard care, oxygen may not be beneficial to these patients, and possibly even harmful. The results of the present and concurrent oxygen trials may thus change international treatment guidelines for patients with…
