(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10-04)Introduction: The length of stay (LOS) in intensive care unit (ICU) nonsurvivors is not often reported, but represents an important indicator of the use of resources. LOS in ICU nonsurvivors may also be a marker of cultural ... -
Variations in the management of diffuse low-grade gliomas - A Scandinavian multicenter study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Early extensive surgery is a cornerstone in treatment of diffuse low-grade gliomas (DLGGs), and an additional survival benefit has been demonstrated from early radiochemotherapy in selected “high-risk” patients. ... -
Varying but reduced use of postoperative mobilization restrictions after primary total hip arthroplasty in Nordic countries: a questionnaire-based study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-11)Background and purpose — Mobilization has traditionally been restricted following total hip arthroplasty (THA) in an attempt to reduce the risk of dislocation and muscle detachment. However, recent studies have questioned ... -
Varying gestational age patterns in cesarean delivery: an international comparison
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-13)Background: While international variations in overall cesarean delivery rates are well documented, less information is available for clinical sub-groups. Cesarean data presented by subgroups can be used to evaluate uptake ... -
Vascular endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated vasodilatation in young adults born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight: A regional cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Preterm birth and low birthweight have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in young adults. Endothelial dysfunction is established as an early marker for development of atherosclerotic ... -
Vascular endothelial growth factors and receptors - from normal dental pulp to apical pathology
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-02-12)The VEGFs -A, -B, -C, -D are important signaling molecules with pivotal implication in the growth of blood and lymphatic vessels, the so-called angio- and lymphangiogenesis. They exert their activities by binding to their ... -
Vascular normalisation as the stepping stone into tumour microenvironment transformation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A functional vascular system is indispensable for drug delivery and fundamental for responsiveness of the tumour microenvironment to such medication. At the same time, the progression of a tumour is defined by the interactions ... -
Vascular risk factor control and adherence to secondary preventive medication after ischaemic stroke
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Studies regarding adequacy of secondary stroke prevention are limited. We report medication adherence, risk factor control and factors influencing vascular risk profile following ischaemic stroke. Methods A ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objectives: We studied the prevalence of vascular risk factors (RFs) among 385 ischaemic stroke patients ⩽60 years and 260 controls, and their association with atherosclerosis in seven vascular areas. Methods: History ... -
Vascularization and Host Response in Bone Tissue Engineering
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-12-07)The major hurdle in the survival of a tissue-engineered construct after implantation is vascularization. Pre-vascularization is one of the proposed methods to achieve vascularization in tissue-engineered constructs. This ... -
Vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in initial resuscitation of burn injuries: A systematic review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background According to current guidelines, initial burn resuscitation should be performed with fluids alone. The aims of the study were to review the frequency of use of vasoactive and/or inotropic drugs in initial burn ... -
