(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Choline is an essential nutrient for humans and is involved in various physiologic functions. Through its metabolite betaine, it is closely connected to the one-carbon metabolism, and the fat-soluble choline ... -
Assessment of malaria real-time PCR methods and application with focus on lowlevel parasitaemia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-05)In epidemiological surveys and surveillance the application of molecular tools is essential in detecting submicroscopic malaria. A genus-specific conventional cytochrome b (cytb) PCR has shown high sensitivity in field ... -
Assessment of nocturnal versus daytime gas exchange in stable COPD. With emphasis on hypoventilation during spontaneous sleep and in sleep influenced by alcohol or zopiclone
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-10-28)Background/purpose: Chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure (CHRF) is associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and sleep hypoventilation (SH) has been proposed as ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)Summary: The association between alcohol consumption and hip fracture differed by gender: Men aged 30–59 years drinking frequently or 14+ gl/week had higher risk than moderate drinkers. No significant association was seen ... -
Association Between Amygdala Volume and Trajectories of Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia With Lewy Bodies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: The amygdala is implicated in psychiatric illness. Even as the amygdala undergoes significant atrophy in mild dementia, amygdala volume is underexplored as a risk factor for neuropsychiatric symptoms ... -
Association between complement component 4A expression, cognitive performance and brain imaging measures in UK Biobank
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Altered expression of the complement component C4A gene is a known risk factor for schizophrenia. Further, predicted brain C4A expression has also been associated with memory function highlighting that altered ... -
The association between dairy intake and risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with stable angina pectoris
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Aims The association of dairy products with cardiovascular disease and mortality risk remains heavily debated. We aimed to investigate the association between intake of total dairy and dairy products and the risk of acute ... -
Association between frailty and self-reported health following heart valve surgery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Knowledge about the association between frailty and self-reported health among patients undergoing heart valve surgery remains sparse. Thus, the objectives were to I) describe changes in self-reported health ... -
The association between intrapartum opioid fentanyl and early breastfeeding: A prospective observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: Intrapartum opioids in labor may interfere with the early breastfeeding phase and cause breastfeeding difficulties. This study examines the effects of intrapartum fentanyl given intravenously (IV) or through ... -
