Electronmicroscopic study of mineralization in induced heterotopic bone formation in guinea pigs
(Journal article, 1980)Mineralization of heterotopic bone was studied in a bone induction model using allogenic demineralization dentin implanted in the abdominal wall of guinea pigs. There was a high yield of newly formed osteoid and bone as ... -
An electrophysiological study in freely exploring rats - Place cell properties and place field stability in the absence or presence of reward as a motivational factor.
(Master thesis, 2009-06-02)The activity of pyramidal cells in the hippocampus can be spatially modulated. Numerous studies have been performed examining their properties, like what influences the position of their firing fields or what effect changes ... -
Electrotonic signal processing in AII amacrine cells: compartmental models and passive membrane properties for a gap junction-coupled retinal neuron
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)Amacrine cells are critical for processing of visual signals, but little is known about their electrotonic structure and passive membrane properties. AII amacrine cells are multifunctional interneurons in the mammalian ... -
Elevated Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements are Associated with a Progressive Form of Fabry Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction Published data on hypertension incidence and management in Anderson–Fabry disease are scant and the contribution of elevated blood pressure to organ damage is not well recognized. Aim Therefore, we have ... -
Elevated body weight modulates subcortical volume change and associated clinical response following electroconvulsive therapy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Obesity is a frequent somatic comorbidity of major depression, and it has been associated with worse clinical outcomes and brain structural abnormalities. Converging evidence suggests that electroconvulsive ... -
Elevated CD3+ and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating immune cells correlate with prolonged survival in glioblastoma patients despite integrated immunosuppressive mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment and at the systemic level
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-11-15)We characterized GBM patients' tumor and systemic immune contexture with aim to reveal themechanisms of immunological escape, their impact on patient outcome, and identify targets for immunotherapy. Increased CD3+ T-cell ... -
Elevated expression of a minor isoform of ANK3 is a risk factor for bipolar disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Ankyrin-3 (ANK3) is one of the few genes that have been consistently identified as associated with bipolar disorder by multiple genome-wide association studies. However, the exact molecular basis of the association remains ... -
Elevated levels of CXCL10 in the Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis syndrome (PFAPA) during and between febrile episodes; an indication of a persistent activation of the innate immune system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-17)Background: The Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis syndrome (PFAPA) is the most common periodic fever syndrome in childhood. Clinically, PFAPA may resemble autoinflammatory diseases, but ... -
Elevated markers of gut leakage and inflammasome activation in COVID-19 patients with cardiac involvement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background A high proportion of COVID‐19 patients have cardiac involvement, even those without known cardiac disease. Downregulation of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a receptor for SARS‐CoV‐2 and the renin‐angiotensin ... -
Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides (EMAST) is not attributed to MSH3 loss in stage I-III colon cancer: An automated, digitalized assessment by immunohistochemistry of whole slides and hot spots
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12)INTRODUCTION: EMAST is a poorly understood form of microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) for which loss of MSH3 has been proposed as the underlying mechanism, based on experimental studies. We aimed ... -
Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides in early-stage colorectal cancers with and without high-frequency microsatellite instability: same, same but different?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Microsatellite instability (MSI) is associated with better prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Elevated microsatellite alterations at selected tetranucleotides (EMAST) is a less-understood form of MSI. Here, we aim to ... -
Elevated plasma cystathionine is associated with increased risk of mortality among patients with suspected or established coronary heart disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Elevated circulating cystathionine levels are related to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, a leading cause of death globally. Objective We investigated whether plasma cystathionine was associated with ... -
Elevated plasma interleukin 6 predicts poor response in patients treated with sunitinib for metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type among renal cell carcinomas, and anti-angiogenic treatment is currently first line therapy in metastatic ccRCC (mccRCC). Response rates and ... -

Eliminating postnatal HIV transmission in high incidence areas: need for complementary biomedical interventions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The rate of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV from breastfeeding is increasing relative to other causes of MTCT. Early effective preconception and antenatal antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces intrauterine and ... -
