A composite network of conserved and tissue specific gene interactions reveals possible genetic interactions in glioma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Differential co-expression network analyses have recently become an important step in the investigation of cellular differentiation and dysfunctional gene-regulation in cell and tissue disease-states. The resulting networks ... -
A comprehensive analysis of the structure-function relationship in proteins based on local structure similarity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)Background:Sequence similarity to characterized proteins provides testable functional hypotheses for less than 50% of the proteins identified by genome sequencing projects. With structural genomics it is believed that ... -
A comprehensive metabolic profile of cultured astrocytes using isotopic transient metabolic flux analysis and 13C-labeled glucose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Metabolic models have been used to elucidate important aspects of brain metabolism in recent years. This work applies for the first time the concept of isotopic transient 13C metabolic flux analysis (MFA) to estimate ... -
A Computational Analysis of Motif-Negative VDR-DNA Interaction and Possible Explanations of Its Mechanism of Interaction
(Master thesis, 2014)Transcription factor binding to DNA has generally been assumed to be as a result of the recognition of sequence-specific motifs in the transcription factor binding sites. Recent studies have however shown several examples ... -
A computational pipeline for quantification of mouse myocardial stiffness parameters
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)The mouse is an important model for theoretical–experimental cardiac research, and biophysically based whole organ models of the mouse heart are now within reach. However, the passive material properties of mouse myocardium ... -
A concurrent cognitive task does not perturb quiet standing in fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background and Objectives. Cognitive complaints are common in fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Fatigue as well as pain may require greater effort to perform cognitive tasks, thereby increasing the load ... -
A consensus-based template for documenting and reporting in physician-staffed pre-hospital services
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: Physician-staffed pre-hospital units are employed in many Western emergency medical services (EMS) systems. Although these services usually integrate well within their EMS, little is known about the quality ... -
A conservative weight loss intervention relieves bowel symptoms in morbidly obese subjects with irritable bowel syndrome: a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is common in subjects with morbid obesity; the effect of weight loss programs on bowel symptoms is largely unknown. Methods. This prospective cohort study explored bowel symptoms, ... -
A controlled intervention study assessing the relation between hip abductor strength and knee valgus
(Master thesis, 2015)Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is a common and severe lower limb injury. Knee abduction moment has been associated with risk of non-contact ACL injury, and knee valgus angle has been reported as part ... -
A critical period for antidepressant-induced acceleration of neuronal maturation in adult dentate gyrus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most commonly used medications for mood and anxiety disorders, and adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus has been shown to be involved in the behavioral effects of ... -
A cross-sectional prospective study of seclusion, restraint and involuntary medication in acute psychiatric wards: patient, staff and ward characteristics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Previous research on mental health care has shown considerable differences in use of seclusion, restraint and involuntary medication among different wards and geographical areas. This study investigates to ... -
A cross-sectional study examining the prevalence of cachexia and areas of unmet need in patients with cancer
