Copeptin is independently associated with vascular calcification in chronic kidney disease stage 5
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2021-03-05)Background: Vascular calcification (VC) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) present in 30– 70% of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Copeptin is a sensitive surrogate marker of arginine ... -
Early vascular ageing and cellular senescence in chronic kidney disease
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2021-03-05)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a clinical model of premature ageing characterized by progressive vascular dis- ease, systemic inflammation, muscle wasting and frailty. The predominant early vascular ageing (EVA) process ... -
Circulating proteins as predictors of cardiovascular mortality in endstage renal disease
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2021-02-24)Introduction: Proteomic profiling of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients could lead to improved risk prediction and novel insights into cardiovascular disease mechanisms. Plasma levels of 92 cardiovascular disease-associated ... -
Correlation of computed tomography with carotid plaque transcriptomes associates calcification with lesion-stabilization
(Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2021-02-24)Background and aims: Unstable carotid atherosclerosis causes stroke, but methods to identify patients and lesions at risk are lacking. We recently found enrichment of genes associated with calcification in carotid plaques ... -
Risk of hospitalization and death due to bone fractures after breast cancer: a registry-based cohort study
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2016-12-01)BACKGROUND: Bone fractures may have an impact on prognosis of breast cancer. The long-term risks of bone fracture in breast cancer patients have not been thoroughly studied. METHODS: Poisson regression was used to ... -
Smoking, smoking cessation and fracture risk in elderly women followed for 10 years
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2015-09-07)Summary: This study examines the impact of smoking and smoking cessation on fracture risk in 75-year-old women followed for 10 years. Smoking increased fracture risk, especially for vertebral fractures. Smoking cessation ... -
Candidate gene analysis and exome sequencing confirm LBX1 as a susceptibility gene for idiopathic scoliosis
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2015-08-05)Background: Idiopathic scoliosis is a spinal deformity affecting approximately 3% of otherwise healthy children or adolescents. The etiology is still largely unknown but has an important genetic component. Genome-wide ... -
An observational study on the outcome after surgery for lumbar disc herniation in adolescents compared to adults based on the Swedish Spine Register
(Inst för klinisk vetenskap, intervention och teknik / Dept of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, 2015-08-05)BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Disc-related sciatica has a prevalence of about 2% in adults, but is rare in adolescents. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, surgery is an option. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to ... -
Language and mathematical problems as precursors of psychotic-like experiences and juvenile mania symptoms
(Inst för medicinsk epidemiologi och biostatistik / Dept of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, 2014-06-25)BACKGROUND: Psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) and juvenile mania in adolescence index risk for severe psychopathology in adulthood. The importance of childhood problems with communication, reading, speech and mathematics ... -
