(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Genetic repeat expansions cause neuronal degeneration in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis as well as other neurodegenerative disorders such as spinocerebellar ataxia, Huntington’s disease and Kennedy’s disease. Repeat expansions ... -
Plasma brain-derived tau is an amyloid-associated neurodegeneration biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Staging amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathophysiology according to the intensity of neurodegeneration could identify individuals at risk for cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In blood, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) associates ... -
Fecal bacteria and short-chain fatty acids in irritable bowel syndrome: relations to subtype
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: The relationship between gut microbiota and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) subtype is unclear. We aimed to explore whether differences in fecal bacteria composition and short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) levels were ... -
Lower Limits for Reporting High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Assays and Impact of Analytical Performance on Patient Misclassification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Cardiac troponin measurements are indispensable for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and provide useful information for long-term risk prediction of cardiovascular disease. Accelerated diagnostic pathways ... -
Apomixis occurs frequently along the entire American Cordillera
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Apomictic plants mostly occur at higher latitudes and higher elevations, where they tend to occupy deglaciated areas. By analysing samples of the alpine floras of different latitudinal zones of the Americas (Argentina, ... -
The cellular basis of feeding-dependent body size plasticity in sea anemones
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Many animals share a lifelong capacity to adapt their growth rates and body sizes to changing environmental food supplies. However, the cellular and molecular basis underlying this plasticity remains only poorly understood. ... -
Citizenship education after Ukraine: Global citizenship education in a world of increasing international conflict
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose: Following globalisation, a rich literature on global citizenship education developed (Akkari & Maleq 2020; Goren & Yemini 2017). However, recent developments in international politics prompt us to ask whether ... -
Intercomparison of initialization methods for seasonal-to-decadal climate predictions with the NorCPM
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Initialization is essential for accurate seasonal-to-decadal (S2D) climate predictions. The initialization schemes used differ on the component initialized, the Data Assimilation method, or the technique. We compare five ... -
Preoperative fatty infiltration of paraspinal muscles assessed by MRI is associated with less improvement of leg pain 2 years after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Abstract Purpose Fatty infiltration (FI) of the paraspinal muscles may associate with pain and surgical complications in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). We evaluated the prognostic influence of MRI-assessed ... -
Implementing Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of Psychosis: The Frontline Leaders’ Point of View. A Qualitative Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Despite the large amount of leadership and implementation theories and recommendations, healthcare services continue to struggle with efficiently incorporating new knowledge. The questioning of conventional ... -
Optimizing Formic Acid-Assisted Co-HTL of Digested Sewage Sludge and Lignocellulosic Waste for Enhanced Bio-Crude Yield and Energy Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)In recent years, hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) has gained attention as a means of enhancing and increasing the production of biofuels from biomass. Co-HTL involves the simultaneous processing of two or more feedstocks, ... -
