    Pyrolytic carbon, or pyrocarbon (PyC), has biocompatibility, a low friction coefficient and good wear resistance, making it a material of great potential for use in orthopaedics. PyC shoulder implants have shown promising ...
  • Diet, genetic susceptibility, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, type 1 and type 2 diabetes 

    Lampousi, Anna-Maria (Institutet för miljömedicin / Institute of Environmental Medicine, 2024-05-03)
    Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases, yet our understanding of modifiable risk factors remains incomplete. This project aimed to elucidate the role of diet in the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults ...
  • Hepatic diseases at the molecular level : identifying novel targets and biomarkers through transcriptomics 

    Sommerauer, Christian (Inst för mikrobiologi, tumör- och cellbiologi / Dept of Microbiology, Tumor and Cell Biology, 2024-05-03)
    In the last few decades, the prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases have dramatically increased and pose a major threat to global healthcare systems. The chronic excess of carbohydrates and fat is a risk factor for ...
  • Mortality prediction and equity in emergency care 

    Malmer, Gustav (Inst för kliniska vetenskaper, Danderyds sjukhus / Dept of Clinical Sciences, Danderyd Hospital, 2024-05-03)
    Introduction: Emergency departments (EDs) face crowding and long patient waiting times due to resource-demand imbalances. Waiting exposes patients to sufferings and risks, such as pain, anxiety, permanent organ damage, or ...
  • Wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation on quadriceps muscle can increase venous flow 

    Flodin, Johanna; Wallenius, Philip; Guo, Li; Persson, Nils-Krister; Ackermann, Paul (Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)
    Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the quadriceps (Q) may increase venous blood flow to reduce the risk of venous thromboembolism. This study assessed whether Q-NMES pants could increase peak venous velocity ...
  • Residual substance P levels after capsaicin treatment correlate with tendon repair 

    Bring, Daniel K I; Paulson, Kent; Renstrom, Per; Salo, Paul; Hart, David A; Ackermann, Paul W (Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)
    The aim of the study was to assess healing after capsaicin-induced SP depletion during rat Achilles tendon repair by biomechanical testing. Capsaicin treatment reduced the concentrations of substance P (SP) by ~60% ...
  • Prolonged immobilization compromises up-regulation of repair genes after tendon rupture in a rat model 

    Bring, D; Reno, C; Renstrom, P; Salo, P; Hart, D; Ackermann, P (Inst för molekylär medicin och kirurgi / Dept of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, 2024-05-03)
