Research Field

We study the mental health of PhD students in Sweden using comprehensive administrative data on prescriptions, specialist care visits, hospitalizations, and causes of death. We find that about 7 % (5 %) of PhD students receive medication or diagnosis for depression (anxiety) in a given year. These prevalence rates are less than one-third of the earlier reported survey-based estimates, and even after adjusting for difference in methodology, 43 % (72 %) of the rates in the literature. Nevertheless, PhD students still fare worse than their peers not pursuing graduate studies. Our difference-in-differences research design attributes all of this health disadvantage to the time in the PhD program. This deterioration suggests doctoral studies causally affect mental health.

Helicobacter Pylori in VivoDiagnosis after Food Intake: Results of Simultaneous [¹⁵N]Urea Urine and [¹³C]Acetate Breath Tests

Abstract The protocols for 13C and 15N H. pylori tests stipulate that the diagnostic agent should be taken on an empty stomach. It is presumed that food intake prior to the tests leads to less reliable test results due to a prolongation of the gastric residence time of the diagnostic agent urea. This might allow the bacteria to split a higher proportion of urea, resulting in an increased number of false positives. 12 probands received 150mg [15N]urea and 75 mg sodium [13C]acetate in 75 ml orange juice as a test drink. [15N]Urea served as an agent to diagnose gastric H. pylori colonization. The 15N tests were evaluated using a urine sample of the second hour after test start. [13C]Acetate served as a marker of the gastric emptying of water-soluble food including the urea under the influence of food intake. Breath air samples were taken to calculate the gastric emptying half life (EHL) and the apparent resorption time (RT) of the urea. The double tests were carried out four times within four weeks using identical test protocols but different
