1 Introduction Sweden's abortion law (from 1974) permits women to undergo an abortion, based upon their request, up to the 18th week of pregnancy. This right was extended to include non-Swedish women from 2008.

AbstractTo investigate if changes in body mass index (BMI) result in changes of the mandibular trabecular bone structure. Females (18–35 years at baseline, mean BMI 42,3) were followed from before (n = 117) until two years (n = 66) after obesity treatment (medical or surgical). The mandibular bone trabeculation was classified as sparse, dense, or mixed on intraoral radiographs (Lindh’s index). A digitized method (Jaw-X) assessed the size and intensities of intertrabecular spaces.

It is essential to comprehend how parents of infants born before 24 weeks gestation navigate the healthcare system. Parents reported exemplary neonatal care, inconsistent support and participation, extensive difficulties in relation to the child's health, and in transition between care levels. We recommend national monitoring, family-centred care, education and support to enable healthcare professionals and policymakers to strengthen adaptability in parents of extremely preterm infants.
