Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy and hyperemesis gravidarum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) is a common condition that affects as many as 70% of pregnant women. Although no consensus definition is available for hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), it is typically viewed as the severe ... -
Near-Infrared Fluorescent Imaging for Monitoring of Treatment Response in Endometrial Carcinoma Patient-Derived Xenograft Models.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Imaging of clinically relevant preclinical animal models is critical to the development of personalized therapeutic strategies for endometrial carcinoma. Although orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) reflecting ... -
Need of education for dry powder inhaler storage and retention – a patient-reported survey
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-08)Background Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are the most commonly used devices in asthma treatment in the Nordic countries. As new DPIs become available, patients are likely to be exposed to more than one type of device, with ... -
Neil3-dependent base excision repair regulates lipid metabolism and prevents atherosclerosis in Apoe-deficient mice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative DNA damage accumulates in atherosclerosis. Recently, we showed that a genetic variant in the human DNA repair enzyme NEIL3 was associated with increased risk of myocardial ... -
Neurofilament light is a biomarker of brain involvement in lupus and primary Sjögren’s syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background To test the hypothesis that neurofilament light (NfL) in CSF is a biomarker of CNS involvement in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), we measured NfL in CSF ... -
Neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia: long-term course and neuropathology
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-06-14)Aim: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as anxiety, apathy, and psychosis are important manifestations of dementia that have a major impact on the patient’s quality of life, carer burden, and risk of institutionalisation. ... -
The neutrophil protein S100A12 is associated with a comprehensive ultrasonographic synovitis score in a longitudinal study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with adalimumab
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-04)Background: The calcium-binding protein S100A12 correlates with measures of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The protein reflects neutrophil activation and the present objective was to explore ... -
