Genome-wide association and Mendelian randomization analysis provide insights into the shared genetic architecture between high-dimensional electrocardiographic features and ischemic heart disease

Observational studies have revealed that ischemic heart disease (IHD) has a unique manifestation on electrocardiographic (ECG). However, the genetic relationships between IHD and ECG remain unclear. We took 12-lead ECG as phenotypes to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for 41,960 samples from UK-Biobank (UKB). By leveraging large-scale GWAS summary of ECG and IHD (downloaded from Finn

Hepatic steatosis aggravates atherosclerosis via small extracellular vesicle-mediated inhibition of cellular cholesterol efflux

Background & AimsWhile it is recognized that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), how NAFLD affects the development and progression of CVD remains unclear and debatable. Hence, we aimed to determine the role of steatotic hepatocyte-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in foam cell formation and atherosclerosis progression.MethodssEVs

Associations of MAFLD and MAFLD subtypes with the risk of the incident myocardial infarction and stroke

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a condition characterized by liver fat accumulation and metabolic abnormalities. Given the potential impact of MAFLD on patient health, it is important to understand its association with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. In the prospective UK Biobank cohort, we sought to elucidat

Nanoparticle emissions from the transport sector : Health and policy impacts - the nPETS concept

Road, rail, air, and sea transport generate a major fraction of outdoor ultrafine particles. However, there is no common methodology for comparable sub 100 nm particle emissions measurement. This paper presents the nPETS (grant agreement No 954377) concept to understand and mitigate the effects of emerging non-regulated nanoparticle emissions. This paper presents the concept and selected results.

Hållbart chefskap i offentlig sektor : Tala, lyssna och reflektera om chefers mående

Denna forskningsrapport sammanfattar resultaten från ett tvåårigt forsknings–projekt om hållbart chefskap i Helsingborgs stad. Det övergripande målet medforskningsprojektet är att bidra med kunskap om hur organisatoriskt stöd i arbetemed chefers hälsa kan och bör utformas. I denna rapport sätter vi särskilt fokus påvad cheferna själva efterfrågar för organisatoriskt stöd samt hur ett sådant stöd k

Parents' lived experience of early risk assessment for cerebral palsy in their young child using a mobile application after discharge from hospital in the newborn period

INTRODUCTION: General Movement assessment (GMA) is considered the golden standard for early identification of infants with a high risk of developing cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to explore parents' lived experience of early risk assessment for CP using a mobile application for home video recording after discharge from hospital stay in the newborn period.METHODS: An inductive qual

Revisiting the applicability and constraints of molybdenum - and uranium-based paleo redox proxies : comparing two contrasting sill fjords

Sedimentary molybdenum (Mo) and uranium (U) enrichments are often used as redox proxies to reconstruct bottom water redox changes. However, these redox proxies may not be equally reliable across a range of coastal settings due to varying depositional environments. Fjords vary greatly in their depositional conditions, due to their unique bathymetry and hydrography, and are highly vulnerable to anth

Serum biomarkers in patients with hand-arm vibration injury and in controls

Hand-arm vibration injury is a well-known occupational disorder that affects many workers globally. The diagnosis is based mainly on quantitative psychophysical tests and medical history. Typical manifestations of hand-arm vibration injury entail episodes of finger blanching, Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and sensorineural symptoms from affected nerve fibres and mechanoreceptors in the skin. Differenc

A cross-sectional study of career paths for Swedish registered nurses with a doctoral degree : When aspirations and possibilities collide

Registered nurses with a doctoral degree are important for the quality of care, nursing education, and nursing research. Still, postgraduate career paths are criticized for being too vague. To enable career path development, mapping of the current situation appears fundamental. The objective was therefore to chart the current professional positions and work conditions and to explore the future car

Estimates of Temporal Edge Detection Filters in Human Vision

Edge detection is an important process in human visual processing. However, as far as we know, few attempts have been made to map the temporal edge detection filters in human vision. To that end, we devised a user study and collected data from which we derived estimates of human temporal edge detection filters based on three different models, including the derivative of the infinite symmetric expo

Measuring body temperature in birds – the effects of sensor type and placement on estimated temperature and metabolic rate

Several methods are routinely used to measure avian body temperature, but different methods vary in invasiveness. This may cause stress-induced increases in temperature and/or metabolic rate and, hence, overestimation of both parameters. Choosing an adequate temperature measurement method is therefore key to accurately characterizing an animal’s thermal and metabolic phenotype. Using great tits (P
