Lung function and bronchial hyperreactivity from 11 to 18 years in children with bronchiolitis in infancy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Various trajectories for lung function and bronchial hyper‐reactivity (BHR) from early childhood to adulthood are described, including puberty as a period with excessive lung growth. Bronchiolitis in infancy ... -
Lung function at term in extremely preterm-born infants: A regional prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Objectives: To compare lung function of extremely preterm (EP)-born infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with that of healthy term-born infants, and to determine which perinatal characteristics were ... -
Lung hyperinflation and functional exercise capacity in patients with COPD - a three-year longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-06)Background: Lung hyperinflation contributes to dyspnea, morbidity and mortality in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inspiratory-to-total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio is a measure of lung hyperinflation and ... -
Machine learning approaches in microbiome research: challenges and best practices
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Microbiome data predictive analysis within a machine learning (ML) workflow presents numerous domain-specific challenges involving preprocessing, feature selection, predictive modeling, performance estimation, model ... -
Machine learning based on biomarker profiles identifies distinct subgroups of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims The lack of effective therapies for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often ascribed to the heterogeneity of patients with HFpEF. We aimed to identify distinct pathophysiologic ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography for the Noninvasive Assessment of Arterial Aging: A Review by the VascAgeNet COST Action
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography allow the characterization of arterial state and function with high confidence and thus play a key role in the understanding of arterial aging and its translation into the ... -
Maintained survival outcome after reducing lymphadenectomy rates and optimizing adjuvant treatment in endometrial cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective: Main controversies in endometrial cancer treatment include the role of lymphadenectomy and optimal adjuvant treatment. We assessed clinical outcome in a population-based endometrial cancer cohort in relation to ... -
Major increase in microbiota-dependent proatherogenic metabolite TMAO one year after bariatric surgery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is formed in the liver from trimethylamine (TMA), a product exclusively generated by the gut microbiota from dietary phosphatidylcholine and carnitine. An alternative pathway of ... -

Malaria prevalence and performance of diagnostic tests among patients hospitalized with acute undifferentiated fever in Zanzibar
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-19)Background: Control efforts in Zanzibar reduced the burden of malaria substantially from 2000 to 2015, but re-emergence of falciparum malaria has been observed lately. This study evaluated the prevalence of malaria and ... -
Management and interpretation of heterogeneous observational data: Using insulin-like growth factor-I data from the NordiNet® International Outcome Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-09)Objective. The NordiNet® International Outcome Study (IOS), a large-scale, non-interventional, multi-centre, real-world study of Norditropin® treatment, registers insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) values, as measured ... -
Managing Contamination and Diverse Bacterial Loads in 16S rRNA Deep Sequencing of Clinical Samples: Implications of the Law of Small Numbers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this article, we investigate patterns of microbial DNA contamination in targeted 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing (16S deep sequencing) and demonstrate how this can be used to filter background bacterial DNA in diagnostic ... -
Mapping the expression of an ANK3 isoform associated with bipolar disorder in the human brain
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The gene ankyrin-3 (ANK3) has been consistently associated with bipolar disorder (BD) in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The exact molecular mechanisms underlying this genetic association remain unknown. ... -
