Derivation and Molecular Characterization of a Morphological Subpopulation of Human iPSC Astrocytes Reveal a Potential Role in Schizophrenia and Clozapine Response
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Astrocytes are the most abundant cell type in the human brain and are important regulators of several critical cellular functions, including synaptic transmission. Although astrocytes are known to play a central role in ... -
Describing the status of reproductive ageing simply and precisely: A reproductive ageing score based on three questions and validated with hormone levels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective Most women live to experience menopause and will spend 4–8 years transitioning from fertile age to full menstrual stop. Biologically, reproductive ageing is a continuous process, but by convention, it is defined ... -
Detailed stratified GWAS analysis for severe COVID-19 in four European populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Given the highly variable clinical phenotype of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a deeper analysis of the host genetic contribution to severe COVID-19 is important to improve our understanding of underlying disease ... -
Detection of a broad range of Leishmania species and determination of parasite load of infected mouse by real-time PCR targeting the arginine permease gene AAP3
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09)Leishmaniasis is one of the world's most neglected infectious diseases, affecting around 12 million people and more than 350 million at risk of infection. The clinical picture varies from self-healing cutaneous lesions to ... -
Detection of Nonadherence to Antihypertensive Treatment by Measurements of Serum Drug Concentrations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Nonadherence to drugs is a challenge in hypertension treatment. We aimed to assess the prevalence of nonadherence by serum drug concentrations compared with 2 indirect methods and relate to the prescribed drug regimens in ... -
Detection of remaining Plasmodium DNA and gametocytes during follow up after curative malaria treatment among returned travellers in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background PCR can be positive weeks after effective malaria treatment, potentially leading to over diagnose of recrudescence and re-infections. The DNA detected by PCR post-treatment might stem from residuals of destroyed ... -
Determinants of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in healthy men and women from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey III
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: The fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO ) is a marker for type 2 inflammation used in diagnostics and management of asthma. In order to use FENO as a reliable biomarker, it is important to investigate factors ... -
Determinants of interindividual variation in exercise-induced cardiac troponin I levels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Postexercise cardiac troponin levels show considerable interindividual variations. This study aimed to identify the major determinants of this postexercise variation in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) following 3 ... -
Determinants of penetrance and variable expressivity in monogenic metabolic conditions across 77,184 exomes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Hundreds of thousands of genetic variants have been reported to cause severe monogenic diseases, but the probability that a variant carrier develops the disease (termed penetrance) is unknown for virtually all of them. ... -
Determination of conformations adopted by CXCR4 and CCR5 at the cell surface
(Master thesis, 2010-05-20)The chemokines and their receptors constitute many important physiological functions in the human body. The chemokine receptors belong to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, characterized by 7 α-helices penetrating ... -
Determination of lower cut-off levels of adalimumab associated with biochemical remission in Crohn's disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background and Aim: Adalimumab is administered and dosed using a standardized treatment regimen. Although therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may help optimize treatment efficacy, the lower cut‐off concentration of adalimumab ... -
Developing a core outcome set for hospital deprescribing trials for older people under the care of a geriatrician
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Half of older people are prescribed unnecessary/inappropriate medications that are not routinely deprescribed in hospital hence there is a need for deprescribing trials. We aimed to develop a Core Outcome Set ... -
Developing a flow cytometric method to characterize human T cell responses against the enteric protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia
(Master thesis, 2014-06-03)Giardia lamblia is an enteric protozoan parasite, which causes infection in humans worldwide. The impact of the infection varies from asymptomatic carriers to severe disease such as malabsorption syndrome. Evidence for ... -
Development and external validation of prognostic models to predict sudden and pump-failure death in patients with HFrEF from PARADIGM-HF and ATMOSPHERE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Sudden death (SD) and pump failure death (PFD) are the two leading causes of death in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Objective: Identifying patients at higher risk for ... -
