Cardiovascular proteomics
(Elsevier, 2020)Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. They develop over long periods of time, and are typically caused by multiple factors, and interaction with the environment. Proteomics allows ... -
Glycaemic control improves fibrin network characteristics in type 2 diabetes: a purified fibrinogen model
(Thieme, 2008)Diabetic subjects have been shown to have altered fibrin network structures.One proposed mechanism for this is non-enzymatic glycation of fibrinogen due to high blood glucose.We investigated whether glycaemic control would ... -
Indirect implications of COVID-19 prevention strategies on non-communicable diseases: an opinion paper of the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in subjects living in or emigrating from low resource settings
(BMC, 2020)Background After its outbreak in China, the novel COronaVIrus Disease 19 is spreading across the globe. It is an emergency the world has never seen before. Main text The attention of health systems is mainly focused ... -
Lifestyle factors and risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases: a multinational cohort study
(BioMed Central, 2020)Background Although lifestyle factors have been studied in relation to individual non-communicable diseases (NCDs), their association with development of a subsequent NCD, defined as multimorbidity, has been scarcely ... -
Meaning in life experienced by parents of children living with diabetes
(Sage, 2019)In this study, nine parents of children living with well-controlled diabetes participated in semi-structured interviews to explore how they make meaning of living with a child with diabetes. Creating a state of normalcy ... -
Results, meta-analysis and a first evaluation of UNOxR, the urinary nitrate-to-nitrite molar ratio, as a measure of nitrite reabsorption in experimental and clinical settings
(Springer, 2018)We recently found that renal carbonic anhydrase (CA) is involved in the reabsorption of inorganic nitrite (NO2−), an abundant reservoir of nitric oxide (NO) in tissues and cells. Impaired NO synthesis in the endothelium ... -
Trends in obesity and diabetes across Africa from 1980 to 2014: an analysis of pooled population-based studies
(Oxford Univ Press, 2017)Background The 2016 Dar Es Salaam Call to Action on Diabetes and Other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) advocates national multi-sectoral NCD strategies and action plans based on available data and information from countries ... -
Using MutPred derived mtDNA load scores to evaluate mtDNA variation in hypertension and diabetes in a two-population cohort: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2017)Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation has been implicated in many common complex diseases, but inconsistent and contradicting results are common. Here we introduce a novel mutational load hypothesis, which also considers the ...
