Horizontal plasmid transfer among klebsiella pneumoniae isolates is the key factor for dissemination of extended-spectrum β-lactamases among children in Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Increased knowledge about the role of horizontal gene transfer is key to improve our understanding of the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human populations. We therefore studied the dissemination of the blaCTX-M-15 ... -
Hormone references for ultrasound breast staging and endocrine profiling to detect female onset of puberty
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Context Application of ultrasound (US) to evaluate attainment and morphology of glandular tissue provides a new rationale for evaluating onset and progression of female puberty, but currently no hormone references complement ... -
Hospitalization for acute heart failure during non-working hours impacts on long-term mortality: the REPORT-HF registry
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims Hospital admission during nighttime and off hours may affect the outcome of patients with various cardiovascular conditions due to suboptimal resources and personnel availability, but data for acute heart failure ... -
Hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction – trends in case fatality, and the impact of changing definition on number of events, subtypes and mortality
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-09-24)Background: Few studies of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among hospitalized patients have had direct estimates of long-term case fatality after AMI, and the literature is conflicting regarding gender-related prognosis ... -
Host blood RNA transcript and protein signatures for sputum-independent diagnostics of tuberculosis in adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)To achieve the ambitious targets for tuberculosis (TB) prevention, care, and control stated by the End TB Strategy, new health care strategies, diagnostic tools are warranted. Host-derived biosignatures are explored for ... -
Host blood-based biosignatures for subclinical TB and incipient TB: A prospective study of adult TB household contacts in Southern India
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-11)A large proportion of the global tuberculosis (TB) burden is asymptomatic and not detectable by symptom-based screening, driving the TB epidemic through continued M. tuberculosis transmission. Currently, no validated tools ... -
Host Transcriptional Signatures Predict Etiology in Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Potential Antibiotic Stewardship Tools
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Current approaches for pathogen identification in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remain suboptimal, leaving most patients without a microbiological diagnosis. If better diagnostic tools were available for ... -
The Host-Pathogen interaction of Human Cyclophilin A and HIV-1 Vpr requires specific N-terminal and novel C-terminal domains
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-12-20)Background: Cyclophilin A (CypA) represents a potential key molecule in future antiretroviral therapy since inhibition of CypA suppresses human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication. CypA interacts with the ... -
