A model for predicting individuals' absolute risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma : moving toward tailored screening and prevention
(2017-02-15)
189 incident cases of EAC and 820 age- and sex-matched control participants, from 1995 through 1997 in Sweden. We developed risk prediction models based on unconditional logistic regression. Candidate predictors included established and readily...
Exercise and angiogenic growth factors in human skeletal muscle
(2005-05-20)
. Also the expression of the VEGF receptors, VEGFR-1 and VEG17R-2 increased at the mRNA level in response to a single bout of exercise. The recognized splice variants in skeletal muscle were VEGF-A,21, VEGF-A165 and VEGF-A189, which all increased...
Gastroesophageal reflux does not alter effects of body mass index on risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma
(2015-10-02)
population-based Swedish nationwide study of patients with a new diagnosis of EAC (n=189) or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (n= 262), and matched controls (n=816), from 1995 through 1997. Our analysis included data on BMI 20 y before study inclusion...
Metabolic predispositions and increased risk of colorectal adenocarcinoma by anatomical locations : a large population-based cohort study in Norway
(2016-12-19)
) = 1.51, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24, 1.84; ATP III: HR = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.70) and in the rectum among women (IDF: HR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.89; ATP III: HR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.90)....
Molecular studies of Neisseria : host cell interactions
(2004-08-11)
The Neisseria family includes many non-pathogenic species but also two strict human pathogens; Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis. Both organisms colonise mucosal surfaces and may cause disseminated infections ...
Post-traumatic stress disorder and life events among recently resettled refuges
(2002-09-27)
Background: In refugee health, one topic is how important posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is from a public health point of view. The present study was initiated in order to study the prevalence of PTSD through structured ...
Assignment and assessment of orthology and gene function
(2004-01-30)
Several genomes from different species have been sequenced over the last years, most notably the human genome. An important task of computational biology is to classify and functionally annotate the large amount of sequence ...
Glucocorticoids in the development and homeostasis of T lymphocytes
(2002-05-24)
Until recently the fact that glucocorticoids (GCs) play an essential physiological role in regulation of the immune system in health and disease was not fully appreciated. The main aims of this thesis were to investigate ...
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in children
(2023-10-27)
Background: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a diagnostic tool that is used for many applications in adults. Many of these applications are considered “off-label” use but still play an important role in diagnostic ...
