Background/AimsThe reactive hyperaemia index (RHI) assesses endothelial function, with a proposed cut-off of <1.67 for prevalent endothelial dysfunction (ED). However, uncertainties remain about whether this cut-off is age-dependent and applicable in healthy individuals. We aimed to explore ED in relation to age within a large population-based cohort of young to middle-aged, healthy individuals.Me

The impact of anaerobic bacteria on the human host is sparsely investigated due to cultivation challenges. Nonetheless, in the last decade increasing research demonstrated the importance of paying attention to these overlooked pathogens. In this chapter, we provide an overview of analyzing surface and intracellular inflammation markers of neutrophils and monocytes in response to Gram-positive anae

Greater central artery stiffness is observed in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Elevated blood pressure (BP) and altered arterial wall structure/composition in T2DM are generally considered as main drivers for this alteration. However, because conventional arterial stiffness measures are BP-dependent and as such an influence of BP remains in a measure, it is unclear if greater central artery s

Objective. The aim was to evaluate cognitive impairments, psychiatric symptoms and cerebral blood flow (CBF) patterns in middle-aged and younger old patients with subjective experience of memory deficits. Methods. The CBF was measured by 99m-Tc-HMPAO-SPECT. The study group was heterogeneous with patients fulfilling criteria for dementia (n=13) and patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI; n= 2

For the sacrifice shelamim in the Hebrew Bible, scholars have suggested a number of different interpretations and uses. This sacrifice also had an ambiguous role in Israelite culture. Lack of a general consensus and the failure to reach a satisfying solution makes the shelamim a puzzle and an interesting sacrifice to investigate with insights gained from modern ritual studies. In this study, it i

The relationship between airway responsiveness to bronchoconstrictor- and cough-inducing stimuli has been examined in Ascaris suum-sensitized conscious guinea-pigs. Guinea-pigs were sensitized to Ascaris suum [4000 PNU and 100 mg Al(OH)3 i.p. on days 1 and 7] and then challenged with aerosolized antigen on days 21, 28 and 35. At day 35, antigen-exposure produced an early bronchoconstrictor respons

Dagens TV-program bygger i de flesta fall på ett bakomliggande TV-format. Formaten har under de senaste åren blivit en allt viktigare del av TV-industrin och idag är de föremål för en handel som årligen omsätter miljardbelopp. I takt med att marknaden för format expanderat har ökande konkurrens inom mediebranschen gjort att striden om TV-tittarna hårdnat. TV-bolagen har tvingats fokusera allt mer The television programs of today are in most cases based on an underlying television format. The use of TV formats has in recent years become an increasingly important part of the television industry and today they are subject of a billion dollar trade. As a result of the format market's expansion and the increased competition within the media industry the battle for viewers has intensified. T

This chapter presents a speculative sonic process for creatively transforming environmental sounds in response to climate scenarios. Sound and listening are explored for attuning to and expressing changing relationships in landscapes due to the effects of drought. Field recordings undertaken in landscapes of Potsdam, Germany are processed in relation to sources, patterns and environmental states t

Processed food is a big contribution to the increasing intake of salt among the population, which today is the double of the recommendation stated by the World Health Organization. This high intake of salt affects the human health in such a way that it can increase blood pressure, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular diseases, which are already the main cause of death cause among the world’s p
