(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) are at increased risk of infections and related worsening of neurological function. Influenza infection has been associated with increased risk of various neurological complications. ... -
Hospitalization for acute heart failure during non-working hours impacts on long-term mortality: the REPORT-HF registry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims Hospital admission during nighttime and off hours may affect the outcome of patients with various cardiovascular conditions due to suboptimal resources and personnel availability, but data for acute heart failure ... -
Hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction – trends in case fatality, and the impact of changing definition on number of events, subtypes and mortality
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-09-24)Background: Few studies of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among hospitalized patients have had direct estimates of long-term case fatality after AMI, and the literature is conflicting regarding gender-related prognosis ... -
Host biomarkers for monitoring therapeutic response in extrapulmonary tuberculosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose The aim of this study was to explore the utility of inflammatory biomarkers in the peripheral blood to predict response to treatment in extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). Methods A Luminex xMAP-based multiplex ... -
Host blood RNA transcript and protein signatures for sputum-independent diagnostics of tuberculosis in adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To achieve the ambitious targets for tuberculosis (TB) prevention, care, and control stated by the End TB Strategy, new health care strategies, diagnostic tools are warranted. Host-derived biosignatures are explored for ... -
