- Children are bearing and will continue to bear a high burden from climate change, through directand indirect pathways. Climate change adaptation interventions are essential to limit the currentand projected impacts of climate change on child health. However, the perspective of children andtheir health with regards to adaptation in research and policy is limited. Ensuring that adaptationinterventions are context specific, consider interrelated barriers to implementation and leverageexisting structures including multisectoral collaboration is vital. Further, a life-course perspectiveon child health and well-being could serve as a template for tailoring adaptation interventions tothe specific vulnerabilities and needs of specific development periods of the child. A meaningfulengagement of children and young persons in the design and implementation of adaptationinterventions is essential to increase effectiveness and uptake. With climate change effectingmillions of children worldwide, it is high time to put child health at the center of adaptation.

- Pulmonary embolism during pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition and the second leading cause of maternal mortality in Sweden. Diagnosis during pregnancy is challenging, and radiologic diagnostic modality is important. The incidence of pulmonary embolism among pregnant women in the Swedish region of Dalarna was 47.8/100 000 women aged 15-49 years in 2016, compared with 5.4/100 000 women in the region of Värmland, which is a region comparable in size and population. This study aimed to investigate differences in clinical practice and choice of imaging modality among pregnant women with suspected pulmonary embolism in the two regions during 2013-2017. There was no difference in background maternal characteristics, but the primary modality of diagnostic imaging was lung scintigraphy in Dalarna (79 percent), whereas computed tomography pulmonary angiography was performed in 75 percent of the cases in Värmland (P < 0.01). There were more women with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary embolism after diagnostic imaging in Dalarna (25 percent, n = 65) compared to Värmland (5 percent, n = 8) (P < 0,.01). Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in more than one quarter of women investigated with scintigraphy, compared to 6 percent when computed tomography was performed.
