Background The Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation is routinely used to assess renal function but exhibits varying accuracy depending on patient characteristics and clinical presentation. The overall aim of the present study was to assess if and to what extent glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation based on creatinine can be improved.MethodsIn a cro

Erythropoiesis is intimately coupled to cell division, and deletion of the cell cycle regulator retinoblastoma protein (pRb) causes anemia in mice. Erythroid-specific deletion of pRb has been found to result in inefficient erythropoiesis because of deregulated coordination of cell cycle exit and mitochondrial biogenesis. However, the pathophysiology remains to be fully described, and further chara

Two photoactive iron N-heterocyclic carbene complexes [FeII(btz)2(bpy)]2+ and [FeIII(btz)3]3+, where btz is 3,3’-dimethyl-1,1’-bis(p-tolyl)-4,4’-bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene) and bpy is 2,2’-bipyridine, have been investigated by Resonant Photoelectron Spectroscopy (RPES). Tuning the incident X-ray photon energy to match core-valence excitations provides a site specific probe of the electronic struc

BackgroundA concussion is a common injury in many sports, including para sport. Aside from a more comprehensive need for concussion education, clinicians face difficulties applying concussion assessment and management guidelines to para athletes.1 At present, there is a lack of para-sport concussion research, and prior International Concussion in Sport (CIS) consensus papers have not addressed thi

Antisymmetric, symmetric and standard actuation of acoustofluidic devices were compared in terms of focusability. By imaging the end part of an acoustophoresis separation channel while flowing fluorescent beads through it, we show that beads get more tightly focused by antisymmetric actuation than symmetric and standard actuation at a given electrical input power. This means that antisymmetric act

We present a theory to compute the stable gap (interparticle) distance between particle chains collected in the pressure node of an acoustic standing wave. The primary and secondary acoustic radiation forces are the two competing forces that act on the particles during the particle chain formation. The stable equilibrium distance between two chains is reached when both forces are in balance. Most

Hypothesis: Phospholipids are widely used in food and pharmacological formulations. However, these typically suffer from limitations such as low colloidal stability. Promising stability has been observed for vesicles based on phosphatidylglucose (P-Glu), but fundamental knowledge on this lipid is missing and those observations were made using P-Glu containing mixed acyl groups. The acyl groups are

AIM: The study aimed to assess the haemodynamic effects of fludrocortisone and midodrine, alone or combined, in patients with recurrent syncope and/or symptoms due to hypotension and ≥ 1 daytime systolic blood pressure (SBP) drop < 90 mmHg or ≥ 2 daytime SBP drops < 100 mmHg recorded by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM1).METHOD: A total of 53 patients (mean age, 40.9 ± 18.5 years, 3

BACKGROUND: Melanoma is a highly heterogeneous disease, and a deeper molecular classification is essential for improving patient stratification and treatment approaches. Here, we describe the histopathology-driven proteogenomic landscape of 142 treatment-naïve metastatic melanoma samples to uncover molecular subtypes and clinically relevant biomarkers.METHODS: We performed an integrative proteogen

BackgroundIn 2015, a selective decrease in the glomerular filtration of middle-sized molecules such as cystatin C compared to small molecules such as creatinine was first described and tentatively termed “Shrunken pore syndrome.” Numerous studies have thereafter found an association between this syndrome (defined by a low eGFRcystatin C to eGFRcreatinine ratio) and mortality and morbidity. In 2023

BACKGROUND: European guidelines recommend the use of a 0h/1h hs-cTn (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin) protocol in patients with acute chest pain. We aimed to determine the performance of this protocol in routine care when supplemented with patient history and ECG and a recommendation to refrain from noninvasive testing in low-risk patients.METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a pre- and postimplementat

Background: A new Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation without the race variable has been recently proposed (CKD-EPIAS). This equation has neither been validated outside USA nor compared with the new European Kidney Function Consortium (EKFC) and Lund-Malmö Revised (LMREV) equations, developed in European cohorts. Methods: Standardized creatinine and measured glomerular filtr

Background: Previous population-based studies investigating the relationship between physical activity and the gut microbiota have relied on self-reported activity, prone to reporting bias. Here, we investigated the associations of accelerometer-based sedentary (SED), moderate-intensity (MPA), and vigorous-intensity (VPA) physical activity with the gut microbiota using cross-sectional data from th

Objectives Better understanding of societal factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination can have important implications for public health policy to increase uptake.Methods This study investigated sociodemographic determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake with ≥2 doses vs 0 doses, and ≥3 doses vs 2 doses, among adults (≥18 years) in a general population from Sweden followed from 27 December 2020 (n=

Hur gick du till väga när du valde studier?  Jag hade beställt hem Lund Universitets programkatalog och satt och bläddrade i den, detta då jag var intresserad av att lämna min hemstad Stockholm och plugga på annan ort. Visste på ett ungefär vad jag var intresserad av, vilket var något inom det samhällsvetenskapliga. Exempelvis tyckte jag mycket om entreprenörskap, ekonomi, kommunikation, ledarskap
