Shared genetic architecture between neuroticism, coronary artery disease and cardiovascular risk factors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Neuroticism is associated with poor health, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and coronary artery disease (CAD). The conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate method (cond/conjFDR) was applied to genome wide ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Sex-Specific Associations between Blood Pressure and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Subtypes in the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The aim of this study was to explore sex-specific associations between systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) subtypes, including paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent ... -
Short-term outcome after open-heart surgery for severe chronic rheumatic heart disease in a low-income country, with comparison with an historical control group: an observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is a major burden in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cardiac surgery is the only curative treatment. Little is known about patients with severe chronic RHD operated ... -
Dyspnea, lung function and CT findings three months after hospital admission for COVID-19
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The long-term pulmonary outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are unknown. We aimed to describe self-reported dyspnoea, quality of life, pulmonary function and chest computed tomography (CT) findings 3 months ... -
Fetal Superior Vena Cava Blood Flow and Its Fraction of Cardiac Output: A Longitudinal Ultrasound Study in the Second Half of Pregnancy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: In the fetus, a large proportion of the superior vena cava blood flow (QSVC) comes from the brain. To provide the possibility of using this blood flow as a representation of fetal brain circulation, we aimed ... -
Psychological health in preschool children with underweight, overweight or obesity: a regional cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective To examine if underweight (UW), overweight (OW) or obesity (OB), or body mass index (BMI) expressed as its SD score (BMI SDS), were associated with psychological difficulties in preschool children. Design ... -
Cardiac Troponin Assays With Improved Analytical Quality: A Trade-Off Between Enhanced Diagnostic Performance and Reduced Long-Term Prognostic Value
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Cardiac troponin (cTn) permits early rule‐out/rule‐in of patients admitted with possible non–ST‐segment–elevation myocardial infarction. In this study, we developed an admission and a 0/1 hour rule‐out/rule‐in ... -
Molecular pathways in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus revealed by gene-centred DNA sequencing
(Journal article, 2021)Objectives Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with extensive heterogeneity in disease presentation between patients, which is likely due to an underlying molecular diversity. Here, we aimed at ... -
Fine mapping of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) suggests involvement of both HLA class I and class II loci
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The etiology of myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is unknown, but involvement of the immune system is one of the proposed underlying mechanisms. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) associations are ... -
Repurposing 18F-FMISO as a PET tracer for translational imaging of nitroreductase-based gene directed enzyme prodrug therapy
