Low birthweight is associated with lower glomerular filtration rate in middle-aged mainly healthy women
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Low birthweight (LBW) has been shown to increase the risk of severe kidney disease. Studies have also shown associations between LBW and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in young adults. In this ... -
Low BMI, but not high BMI, influences the timing of puberty in boys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Previous studies investigating the association between weight status and onset of puberty in boys have been equivocal. It is currently unclear to what extent weight class influences puberty onset and ... -
Low bone density and high morbidity in patients between 55 and 70 years with displaced femoral neck fractures: A case-control study of 50 patients vs 150 normal controls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-14)Background A displaced femoral neck fracture (FNF) in patients 55-70 years is a serious injury with a high risk of treatment failure and the optimal surgical treatment remains unclear. We aimed to describe characteristics ... -
Low bone mineral density is a significant risk factor for low-energy distal radius fractures in middleaged and elderly men: A case-control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-02)Background: In general there is a lack of data on osteoporosis and fracture in men; this also includes low-energy distal radius fractures. The objectives of this study were to examine BMD and identify factors associated ... -
Low case notification rates of childhood tuberculosis in southern Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-01)Background: Childhood tuberculosis (TB) is a public health concern causing considerable mortality. However, control of childhood TB receives little attention. The control efforts could be inadequate because of challenges ... -
A low climate threshold for south Greenland Ice Sheet demise during the Late Pleistocene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-01-07)The Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) has been losing mass at an accelerating rate over the recent decades. Models suggest a possible temperature threshold between 0.8 and 3.2 °C, beyond which GIS decline becomes irreversible. The ... -
The low country saints of the Næstved calendar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Næstved Calendar (Copenhagen, Det Kongelige Bibliotek, E don. var. 52 2º), an illuminated manuscript produced at the Benedictine monastery of St Peder at Næstved (also called Skovkloster) ca. 1228–1250, is known for ... -
Low Densities of Serotonin and Peptide YY Cells in the Colon of Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-05)Background The gut hormones are important in regulating gastrointestinal motility. Disturbances in gastrointestinal motility have been reported in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Reduced endocrine cell density, ... -
Low expression levels of ATM may substitute for CHEK2 / TP53 mutations predicting resistance towards anthracycline and mitomycin chemotherapy in breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03-15)Introduction: Mutations affecting p53 or its upstream activator Chk2 are associated with resistance to DNAdamaging chemotherapy in breast cancer. ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated protein) is the key activator of p53 and ... -
Low fibre intake is associated with gut microbiota alterations in chronic heart failure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aims Recent reports have suggested that patients with heart failure (HF) have an altered gut microbiota composition; however, associations with diet remain largely uninvestigated. We aimed to explore differences in the ... -
Low heart rate variability is associated with a negativity valence bias in interpreting ambiguous emotional expressions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Most people tend to overstate positive aspects of their experiences, that is, a positive valence bias. However, some people tend to have attenuated attention for negative aspects of perceived information, that is, negative ... -
