Fatty Acids Composition and HIV Infection: Altered Levels of n-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Are Associated with Disease Progression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fatty acids (FAs) are important regulators of immune responses and innate defense mechanisms. We hypothesized that disturbed FA metabolism could contribute to the progression of HIV infection. Plasma levels of 45 FAs were ... -
Fatty acids in synovial fluid (SF) and inflammatory markers in SF and serum from patients with inflammatory joint diseases. With focus on correlation of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to SF cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-12 and serum Creactive protein
(Master thesis, 2008)Little attention has been brought on the lipid content and fatty acid composition directly in synovial fluid (SF) from joints of patients with inflammatory joint diseases. Studies indicate that excessive SF lipids and fatty ... -

Feasibility and tolerability of measuring translaryngeal pressure during exercise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives/Hypothesis: To determine if simultaneous tracheal and supraglottic pressure measurement performed during a continuous laryngoscopy exercise (CLE) test is possible, tolerable, and feasible, and if so, whether ... -
Febrile Neutropenia in Acute Leukemia. Epidemiology, Etiology, Pathophysiology and Treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Acute leukemias are a group of aggressive malignant diseases associated with a high degree of morbidity and mortality. An important cause of both the latter is infectious complications. Patients with acute leukemia are ... -
Female sex hormones and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in European women of a population-based cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea is higher in women after menopause. This is suggested to be a result of an altered sex hormone balance but has so far not been confirmed in a population-based ... -
Females report higher postoperative pain scores than males after ankle surgery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Objectives: The majority of patients experience moderate-to-intense pain following ankle surgery. Early, adequate treatment of postoperative pain is desirable for optimal pain relief, which in turn may facilitate optimal ... -
Feminizing adrenal tumor identified by plasma steroid profiling
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Feminizing estrogen-secreting adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are exceedingly rare and carry a poor prognosis. The most common presenting trait is gynecomastia, but enlarged breasts are also a frequent clinical finding ... -
Fetal size in the second trimester is associated with the duration of pregnancy, small fetuses having longer pregnancies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-07-16)Background: Conventionally, the pregnancy duration is accepted to be 280–282 days. Fetuses determined by ultrasound biometry to be small in early pregnancy, have an increased risk of premature birth. We speculate that the ... -
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 ... -
Fever in the tropics: aetiology and case-fatality - a prospective observational study in a tertiary care hospital in South India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-30)Background: The objective of this study was to describe aetiology and case fatality of fever among inpatients in a tertiary care hospital in South India. Methods: This was an observational, prospective study conducted in ... -
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 ... -
Finite element analysis of mitral valve annuloplasty in Barlow's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Barlow’s Disease affects the entire mitral valve apparatus causing mitral regurgitation. Standard annuloplasty procedures lead to an average of 55% annular area reduction of the end diastolic pre-operative annular area in ... -
