Accumulation dynamics of transcripts and proteins of cold-responsive genes in fragaria vesca genotypes of differing cold tolerance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Identifying and characterizing cold responsive genes in Fragaria vesca associated with or responsible for low temperature tolerance is a vital part of strawberry cultivar development. In this study we have investigated the ... -
Accumulation of Globotriaosylceramide in Podocytes in Fabry Nephropathy Is Associated with Progressive Podocyte Loss
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background In males with classic Fabry disease, the processes leading to the frequent outcome of ESKD are poorly understood. Defects in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A lead to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL3) ... -
Accumulation of α-synuclein mediates podocyte injury in Fabry nephropathy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Current therapies for Fabry disease are based on reversing intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or chaperone-mediated stabilization of the defective enzyme, thereby ... -
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 ... -
Accuracy in HIV rapid testing among laboratory and non-laboratory personnel in Zambia: Observations from the national HIV proficiency testing system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-08)Background: Despite rapid task-shifting and scale-up of HIV testing services in high HIV prevalence countries, studies evaluating accuracy remain limited. This study aimed to assess overall accuracy level and factors ... -
Accuracy of single intravenous access iohexol GFR in children is hampered by marker contamination
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Measurement of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in children by iohexol injection and blood sampling from the contralateral arm is widely used. A single intravenous access for iohexol injection and subsequent blood sampling ... -
Accuracy of surgical complication rate estimation using ICD-10 codes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)Background: The ICD‐10 codes are used globally for comparison of diagnoses and complications, and are an important tool for the development of patient safety, healthcare policies and the health economy. The aim of this ... -
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 and fast neonatal heart rate assessment with a smartphone‐based application – a manikin study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-31)Aim: This study determined the accuracy and speed of the NeoTapLifeSupport (NeoTapLS), a free smartphone application that aims to assess a neonate's heart rate. Methods: We asked 30 participants with a variety of backgrounds ... -
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 ... -
