Background: Alcohol intake increases recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF), but its relationship with cardiovascular outcomes is less well characterized. We aimed to study the association between different levels of alcohol intake and cardiovascular outcomes in a global cohort of patients with AF. Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis of the RE-LY AF registry, including 15,400 patients with
Eight compounds were isolated from the water-soluble fraction of Wikstroemia indica (L.) C.A. Mey., including two new neolignans (isonitidanin-4-O-β-D-glucoside (3) and threo-citrusin B (6)), four known neolignans (1, 2, 4, and 5), along with two previously reported lignans (7 and 8). Spectral analysis (1D, 2D NMR, and HR-ESI-MS/MS) was used to identify their chemical structures. Except for compou
Objectives The aim was to estimate the prevalence and risk of respiratory symptoms among workers exposed to epoxy resin systems in the wind turbine industry. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study including 180 epoxy-exposed production workers from two Danish wind turbine blade factories and 41 non-exposed office workers. Respiratory symptoms were defined as having two or more symptoms (i.e.
BACKGROUND: The scapular free flap has increasingly gained popularity as an alternative to the fibular free flap in osseous head and neck reconstruction. The present study aimed to evaluate their use in maxillomandibular reconstructions and examine surgical and patient outcomes.METHODS: Osseous head and neck defects reconstructed with an angular artery-based scapular flap or fibular flap from 2016
Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition. However, much remains unknown, particularly regarding how riparian arthropods respond to such dynamics. In this study, we used high-resolution hydrological data, along with presence of grazing livestock and shoreline vegetati
Objectives: Long-term, placebo-controlled studies of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are not permitted for ethical reasons. Therefore, the advancement of knowledge on longitudinal outcomes in different domains warrants well-designed naturalistic studies. The aim of this study was to explore the 3-year effectiveness of rivastigmine treatment. Methods: The Swedish Alzhe
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an insidiously progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by multiple cognitive impairments and gradual loss of independence in carrying out activities of daily living (ADL). Currently, the predominant therapy for mild-to-moderate AD is cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), which have been shown to have positive effects on symptoms compared wi
Affinity precipitation, a novel technique closely related to immunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography, has been evaluated in systems comprised of dehydrogenases and a bifunctional NAD derivative, Bis-NAD. Lactate dehydrogenase and glutamate dehydrogenase were easily precipitated whereas yeast alcohol dehydrogenase required the presence of salt to enhance the affinity precipitation. Liver al
Wastewater generated in tanneries have essential elements for microalgae growth, but it has also some toxic compounds that may hinder or restrain the growth of microalgae in this environment. This work tested microalgae consortium growth originating from a deactivated effluent treatment decanter of a complete tannery (beamhouse to finished leather) for the treatment of wastewater of a tannery proc
Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with a clinical phenotype characterized by a high degree of insulin resistance are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously demonstrated that the endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) atrasentan reduced insulin resistance in T2D. In this study, we compared the effect of atrasentan on insulin resistance across different phenotypic clusters
Objective: To assess foetal circulating free foetal haemoglobin (fHbF) levels and heme defences, correlated to foetal circulatory biometry and foetal sex in severe early-onset foetal growth restriction (FGR). Design, Setting and Population: A prospective study severe early-onset foetal growth restriction pregnancies with close clinical management (estimated foetal weight (EFW) < 3rd centile and <
The software industry is today one of the most important industries, and almost all devices we use contain some piece of software. As software has both a literal expression and an inventive aspect, it has been unclear which way the intellectual property should be protected. Software can be covered both by patents, that protect the idea behind the code, and copyright, that protects the expression o

This study aimed to evaluate the permeation-enhancing properties of Coegin Pharma’s gel serum formulation on NPP-4, a peptide of interest for melanogenesis stimulation. A full-thickness reconstructed human skin model (MatTek EpiDermFT), comprising epidermis and dermis, was used to evaluate NPP-4 distribution in the gel serum vs a H2O reference vehicle. In parallel, methylene blue was used as a mod
The aim of the study was to investigate whether work-study conflict and study-work conflict predict perceived stress and well-being in full-time university students who work part-time, and whether perceived stress predicts well-being. The study was conducted with a quantitative cross-sectional design where data were collected through a web-based questionnaire where participants answered establishe
This master thesis was performed in collaboration with NP Innovation. The purpose of this project was to develop a new inlet channel and two adapters for a water filter used in fish farming. Two different sizes of filters are included in the company's product portfolio. For both filters there is one inlet channel each in a corresponding size. One inlet channel consist of an adapter welded to t
