Hepatic diseases at the molecular level : identifying novel targets and biomarkers through transcriptomics
(Inst för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Dept of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2024-05-03)In the last few decades, the prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases have dramatically increased and pose a major threat to global healthcare systems. The chronic excess of carbohydrates and fat is a risk factor for ... -
Mortality prediction and equity in emergency care
(Inst för kliniska vetenskaper, Danderyds sjukhus / Dept of Clinical Sciences, Danderyd Hospital, 2024-05-03)Introduction: Emergency departments (EDs) face crowding and long patient waiting times due to resource-demand imbalances. Waiting exposes patients to sufferings and risks, such as pain, anxiety, permanent organ damage, or ... -
Wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle can increase venous flow
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps (Q) may increase venous blood flow to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This study assessed whether Q-NMES pants could increase peak venous velocity ... -
Residual substance P levels after capsaicin treatment correlate with tendon repair
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)The aim of the study was to assess healing after capsaicin-induced SP depletion during rat Achilles tendon repair by biomechanical testing. Capsaicin treatment reduced the concentrations of substance P (SP) by ~60% ... -
Prolonged immobilization compromises up-regulation of repair genes after tendon rupture in a rat model
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)It was hypothesized that mobilization versus immobilization after injury would promote tissue healing by regulating gene expression for molecules associated with repair. Cast immobilization versus free mobilization was ...
