Modulation of mind wandering using transcranial direct current stimulation: A meta-analysis based on electric field modeling
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-23)Mind wandering (MW) is a heterogeneous construct involving task-unrelated thoughts. Recently, the interest in modulating MW propensity via non-invasive brain stimulation techniques has increased. Single-session transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in healthy controls has led to mixed results in modulating MW propensity, possibly due to methodological heterogeneity. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Opposite and dynamic regulation of the interferon response in metastatic and non-metastatic breast cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-07)Background To our current understanding, solid tumors depend on suppressed local immune reactions, often elicited by the interaction between tumor cells and tumor microenvironment (TME) components. Despite an improved understanding of anti-cancer immune responses in the TME, it is still unclear how immuno-suppressive TME are formed and how some cancer cells survive and metastasize.<p> <p>Methods ... -
Prompt closure versus gradual weaning of external ventricular drainage for hydrocephalus following aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage: Protocol for the DRAIN randomised clinical trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a life-threatening disease caused by rupture of an intracranial aneurysm.
