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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Rapporten sammanfattar det forskningsprojekt, finansierat av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, som Rebecca Selberg utfört inom verksamhetsområde intensiv- och perioperativ vård (IPV) vid Skånes universitetssjukhus januari 2021 – juni 2022. Rapporten bygger på djupintervjuer och observationer, samt på en strategisk genomgång av tidigare forskning kring krishantering och covidpandemins effekter på vårdpers

Previous research has identified good communication as one of several key factors essential for destination resilience. However, there has been a lack of research on how communication contributes to this development. To address this gap, this study explores the communication work done by Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) with stakeholders to influence destination resilience. The study ex
