A woman in her 30s has died after a fire in an apartment in Hallsberg over the weekend, reports P4 Örebro.

The alarm about the fire came on Saturday afternoon. The woman was taken to hospital with serious injuries and later died.

Regions carry out so-called arthroscopies in the knees of osteoarthritis patients – despite health experts advising against the procedure, reports SvD.

The operation is a peephole operation where the knee joint is flushed and cleaned. But studies show that it is no more effective in reducing pain, function and quality of life than placebo treatment.

The National Board of Health and Welfare believes that the risk is greater than the benefit and recommends not performing the operations.

Despite that, 12,700 procedures were carried out between 2019 and 2021. 40 percent in Stockholm.

– In some regions, far too many operations are performed even though we are clear that this method should not be used for osteoarthritis of the knees. It is not a ban, but a strong recommendation because there are high costs for an operation while at the same time it does not provide enough benefit for the patient, says Anders Berg, head of unit at the National Board of Health and Welfare to SvD.

A little more than half of the ministers in Ulf Kristersson’s government call themselves feminists, a survey shows SR Ecot.

13 clearly answers yes to the question. Among them the Prime Minister himself, Labor Market Minister Johan Pehrson (L) and EU Minister Jessica Roswall.

Seven do not call themselves feminists, although equality is an important issue for them. Among others is Foreign Minister Tobias Billström (M), who believes that the word has so many different definitions that it tends to contain the content of politics.

Minister for Rural Affairs Peter Kullgren (KD) calls himself “mostly not” a feminist.

“But if the definition is equality, equal rights, opportunities and obligations for both men and women, then I don’t mind being called a feminist, or a man with common sense,” he replies.
