Gerontechnology - aging and digitalization I 3 higher education credits, Third cycle (Version 1) Content Digitization is considered to lead to profound changes in how we consider old people as patients, care receivers, citizens and consumers. Digitalization is a process that allows for new models and concepts that in turn lead to new services and new ways of delivering services. It is characterize

Aim: Extremes in sleep duration play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes. We examined the associations between sleep duration and sleep debt with estimates of insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. Methods: Data were derived from the European multi-centre EGIR-RISC study. Sleep duration and sleep debt were derived from a sleep questionnaire asking about sleeping time during

BACKGROUND: Factor VIII (FVIII) and its carrier protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) are associated with risk of arterial and venous thrombosis and with hemorrhagic disorders. We aimed to identify and functionally test novel genetic associations regulating plasma FVIII and VWF. METHODS: We meta-analyzed genome-wide association results from 46 354 individuals of European, African, East Asian, and Hi

Rationale: Preeclampsia reflects an unusual increase in systemic inflammation during pregnancy. Objectives: We studied associations between preeclampsia and asthma, allergy, and eczema in Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2000 (COPSAC2000) and in national registries. Methods: COPSAC2000 is a high-risk birth cohort of 411 Danish children. Asthma, allergy, and eczema were diagnose

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur en organisation kan upprätthålla en viss föreställning genom strategisk kommunikation. Detta uppnås genom det empiriska exemplet mjölk, ett livsmedel som under lång tid framställts som objektivt, naturligt och vetenskapligt, vilket lett till en etablerad föreställning om att mjölk är nödvändig i vår dagliga kost. Syftet uppfylls genom en foucauldiansk kriThis thesis aims to investigate how an organization can maintain a certain conception through strategic communication. This is achieved by the empirical example of milk, a food that is looked upon as something objective, natural and scientific, which has led to an established conception that milk is essential in our daily diet. The purpose of the thesis is met by a foucauldian critical discourse a

Background: Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) has been associated with cardiovascular diseases in adulthood, but studies examining childhood origins are scarce. Objective: To examine associations of childhood PAH exposure with cardiometabolic risk indicators in childhood and adolescence along with differences by sex. Methods: Urinary PAH metabolites [Σ1,2,3-hydroxyphenanthrene (Σ

INTRODUCTION: The soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) has recently been associated with a decline in kidney function and incidence of chronic kidney disease in patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing cardiac catheterization, yet little is known whether suPAR is associated with deterioration of kidney function in the general population.METHODS: In the population-ba

Background/Objectives: There is still no consensus as to whether patients with upfront resectable synchronous colorectal liver metastases (sCRLM) should receive neoadjuvant treatment prior to liver surgery. Two randomized controlled trials have assessed the role of peri-operative chemotherapy in sCRLM; neither have shown a survival benefit in the neoadjuvant group. The aim of this population-based

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing (RS) technology is an ideal tool to map flooded areas on account of its all-time, all-weather imaging capability. Existing SAR data-based change detection approaches lack well-discriminant change indices for reliable floodwater mapping. To resolve this issue, an unsupervised change detection approach, made up of two main steps, is proposed for detectin

We developed a pebble-driven core accretion model to study the formation and evolution of planets around stars in the stellar mass range of 0.08 M⊙-1 M⊙. By Monte Carlo sampling of the initial conditions, the growth and migration of a large number of individual protoplanetary embryos were simulated in a population synthesis manner. We tested two hypotheses for the birth locations of embryos: at th

PURPOSE: Hypoxia is one of the most important factors influencing clinical outcome after radiotherapy. Improved knowledge of factors affecting the levels and distribution of oxygen within a tumor is needed. The authors constructed a theoretical 3D model based on histological images to analyze the influence of vessel density and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration on the response to irradiation.METHODS:

BACKGROUND: Up to a third of prostate cancer patients fail curative treatment strategies such as surgery and radiation therapy in the form of biochemical recurrence (BCR) which can be predictive of poor outcome. Recent clinical trials have shown that men experiencing BCR might benefit from earlier intervention post-radical prostatectomy (RP). Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify earlier

Background: Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a significant complication after revascularization for acute lower limb ischemia (ALI). High risk patients sometimes undergo prophylactic fasciotomy (PF) to prevent ACS. Patients that develop ACS undergo therapeutic fasciotomy (TF). The optimal timing of fasciotomy has been debated. The aim of this study was to describe and compare renal and wound ou

The small body of research on writing and writing processes in the group of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children has shown that this group struggles more with writing than their hearing peers. This article aims to explore in what ways the DHH group differs from their peers regarding the written product and the writing processes. Participants are all in the age span 10–12 years old and include:

Imbalances of blood biomarkers are associated with disease, and biomarkers may also vary non-pathologically across population groups. We described variation in concentrations of biomarkers of one-carbon metabolism, vitamin status, inflammation including tryptophan metabolism, and endothelial and renal function among cancer-free older adults. We analyzed 5167 cancer-free controls aged 40–80 years f

Context. Determining the chemical properties of the atmosphere of young forming gas giants might shed light on the location their formation occurred and the mechanisms involved. Aims. Our aim was to detect molecules in the atmosphere of the young forming companion PDS70 b by searching for atmospheric absorption features typical of substellar objects. Methods. We obtained medium-resolution (R ≈ 507

Background: Rupture of atherosclerotic plaques is the major cause of acute cardiovascular events. The biomarker PRO-C6 measuring Endotrophin, a matrikine of collagen type VI, may provide valuable information detecting subjects in need of intensified strategies for secondary prevention. Objective: In this study, we evaluate endotrophin in human atherosclerotic plaques and circulating levels of PRO-

Introduction: Reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is considered the method of choice for measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment in NPM1-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MRD can also be determined with DNA-based methods offering certain advantages. We here compared the DNA-based methods quantitative PCR (qPCR), droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), and targeted deep sequencing (deep

Background: Tau pathology correlates with and predicts clinical decline in Alzheimer's disease. Approved tau-targeted therapies are not available. Methods: ADAMANT, a 24-month randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, double-blinded, multicenter, Phase 2 clinical trial (EudraCT2015-000630-30, NCT02579252) enrolled 196 participants with Alzheimer's disease; 119 are included in this post-hoc s
