Serum Acylcarnitines and Risk of Cardiovascular Death and Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Stable Angina Pectoris
(Wiley, 2017-02)Background: Excess levels of serum acylcarnitines, which are intermediate products in metabolism, have been observed in metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it is not known whether acylcarnitines ...Journal article -
Serum concentrations of active tamoxifen metabolites predict long-term survival in adjuvantly treated breast cancer patients
(BioMed Central, 2017-11-28)Background: Controversies exist as to whether the genetic polymorphisms of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of tamoxifen can predict breast cancer outcome in patients using adjuvant tamoxifen. Direct measurement ...Journal article -
Sex differences in cardiovascular outcome during progression of aortic valve stenosis
(BMJ, 2015)Objective: Women with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) have better LV systolic function and more concentric LV geometry than their male counterparts. However, sex differences in cardiovascular (CV) outcome during progression ...Journal article -

A short-time model to study relevant indices of cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin in the rat
(Informa Healthcare, 2013-07)Aim: Short-time models (STM) to study the cardiotoxicity (acute or chronic) of doxorubicin in rats are of interest to assess protective interventions and pathways. STM promotes more ethical animal treatment with less ...Journal article -
Signaling effects of sodium hydrosulfide in healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(Elsevier, 2016-11)Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an endogenous gasotransmitter in human physiology and inflammatory disease, however, with limited knowledge of how signal transduction pathways are involved in immune cells. To examine the effects ...Journal article -
Single dose vaccination of the ASO3-adjuvanted A (H1N1)pdm09 monovalent vaccine in health care workers elicits homologous and cross-reactive cellular and humoral responses to H1N1 strains
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)Healthcare workers (HCW) were prioritized for vaccination during the 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic. We conducted a clinical trial in October 2009 where 237 HCWs were immunized with a AS03-adjuvanted A(H1N1)pdm09 ...Journal article -
