Aberrant signaling of immune cells in Sjögren's syndrome patient subgroups upon interferon stimulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by mononuclear cell infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to glandular atrophy and dryness. Patient heterogeneity ... -
Ability of a lean-seafood diet to modulate lipid and glucose metabolism in healthy humans – a randomized controlled trial with a crossover design
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-01-08)Background: A Westernised lifestyle, which involves a high-energy diet and reduced physical activity, is indisputably linked to the pandemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes. Prevention of cardiovascular disease and type 2 ... -
Absence of the proteoglycan decorin reduces glucose tolerance in overfed male mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Studies have implicated the extracellular matrix (ECM) of adipose tissue in insulin resistance. The proteoglycan decorin, a component of ECM, has been associated with glucose tolerance, but possible causal effects on ... -
The absent/low expression of CD34 in NPM1-mutated AML is not related to cytoplasmic dislocation of NPM1 mutant protein
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022) -
Abundant Genetic Overlap between Blood Lipids and Immune-Mediated Diseases Indicates Shared Molecular Genetic Mechanisms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between blood lipids and immune-mediated diseases, but the nature of these associations is not well understood. We used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate ... -
Accelerometry May be Superior to EMG for Early Evaluation of Vocal Cord Function After Nerve Injury in a Pig Model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective Vocal cord (VC) movement has been demonstrated by the use of accelerometry (ACC) to decrease in parallel with the electromyographic amplitude (EMG) during ongoing traction injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve ... -
Accuracy and usability of single-lead ECG from smartphones - A clinical study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Several wireless ECG devices are commercially available for possible screening, monitoring and diagnosis of rhythms. The field is rapidly expanding, and some devices have demonstrated acceptable qualities. The ... -
Accurate 3-gene-signature for early diagnosis of liposarcoma progression
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Well- and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (WD/DDLPS) are rare mesenchymal malignant tumors that account for 20% of all sarcomas in adults. The WD form is a low-grade malignancy with a favourable prognosis which ... -
Accurate population-based model for individual prediction of colon cancer recurrence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Prediction models are useful tools in the clinical management of colon cancer patients, particularly when estimating the recurrence rate and, thus, the need for adjuvant treatment. However, the most used models ... -
Activated dendritic cells and monocytes in HIV immunological nonresponders: HIV-induced interferon-inducible protein-10 correlates with low future CD4+ recovery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: To explore monocyte and dendritic cell immune responses, and their association with future CD4+ gain in treated HIV patients with suboptimal CD4+ recovery. Design: A cross-sectional study of HIV-infected, virally ... -
Activated factor XI-antithrombin complex presenting as an independent predictor of 30-days mortality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are associated with activated coagulation and microvascular fibrin deposition with subsequent multiorgan failure and adverse outcome. Objectives Activated ... -
Activation of Akt characterizes estrogen receptor positive human breast cancers which respond to anthracyclines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04-17)Anthracyclines are key components of human breast cancer chemotherapy. Here, we explored the role of Akt signaling in anthracycline resistance. The antitumor activity of doxorubicin and Akt inhibitor A-443654 alone or ... -
