Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia, associated with significant burdens to patients and the healthcare system. The atrioventricular (AV) node plays a vital role in regulating heart rate during AF by filtering electrical impulses from the atria. However, it is often insufficient in regards to maintaining a healthy heart rate, thus the AV node properties are modifie
Swedish institutions of higher education must promote widening participation. This goal is also expressed in policy documents at Lund University. To accomplish this, teachers at Lund University formed a group to strategically work towards student inclusion. This article reports on an interview study conducted by this group investigating students’ experiences and perceptions of entering education a
We systematically fabricate devices and analyse data for vertical InAs/(In)GaAsSb nanowire Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors, to study the influence of source dopant position and level on their device performance. The results show that delaying the introduction of dopants further in the GaAsSb source segments improved the transistor metrics (subthreshold swing and the ON-current performance), due to
INTRODUCTION: Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by bilateral calcification in the brain, especially in the basal ganglia, leading to neurological and neuropsychiatric manifestations. White matter hyperintensities (WMH) have been described in patients with PFBC and pathogenic variants in the gene for platelet-derived growth factor beta polypept
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
