The novel bacteriocin romsacin from Staphylococcus haemolyticus inhibits Gram-positive WHO priority pathogens
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-31)Staphylococcus haemolyticus is an increasingly relevant nosocomial pathogen. The combination of multi-drug resistance and ability to form biofilms makes S. haemolyticus infections difficult to treat. Bacteriocins are ribosomally synthesized antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteria to inhibit growth of often closely related bacteria. Due to differences in the modes of action between bacteriocins ... -

C1 inhibitor deficiency enhances contact pathway–mediated activation of coagulation and venous thrombosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-11)C1 inhibitor (C1INH) is a multifunctional serine protease inhibitor that functions as a major negative regulator of several biological pathways, including the contact pathway of blood coagulation. In humans, congenital C1INH deficiency results in a rare episodic bradykinin-mediated swelling disorder called hereditary angioedema (HAE). Patients with C1INH deficiency–associated HAE (C1INH-HAE) have ... -

Impact of the von Willebrand factor-ADAMTS-13 axis on the risk of future venous thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-01)Background - von Willebrand factor (VWF) and its cleaving protease, ADAMTS-13, form a pivotal axis that regulates hemostasis. However, the role of the VWF-ADAMTS-13 axis in the risk of future venous thromboembolism (VTE) is unknown.<p> <p>Objectives - To investigate whether plasma ADAMTS-13 levels and an imbalance with VWF levels, assessed as the VWF/ADAMTS-13 ratio, are associated with the risk ... -

Differences in mammography screening attendance among non-Western immigrants in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)Several studies have shown that attendance rates are lower among non-Western immigrants than among natives. As the Nordic countries have quite similar health systems and populations but also differences in the organisation of their organised mammography screening programmes, differences in attendance rates could highlight organisational factors that might increase the attendance rates. Mammography ... -
Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain mediates age-associated lower learning and memory in healthy adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-27)Multiple cognitive domains, including learning, memory, and psychomotor speed, show significant reductions with age. Likewise, several cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurodegenerative biomarkers, including total tau (t-tau, a marker of neuronal body injury) and neurofilament light chain (NfL, a marker of axonal injury) show age-related increases in normal aging. In the current study, we aimed to investigate ... -
Vitamin D – a scoping review for Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. Vitamin D is unique, as both diet and sun induced production in skin are sources to this vitamin. ... -
