New-onset non-infectious pulmonary manifestations among patients with systemi...
Abstract Objective The objective was to estimate the incidence of lung disease among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Using Swedish register data, we... -
Morbidity burden of respiratory diseases attributable to ambient temperature:...
Abstract Background There are significant associations between ambient temperature and respiratory disease mortality. However, few studies have assessed the morbidity burdens of... -
Estimating the total prevalence and incidence of end-stage kidney disease amo...
Abstract Background Most estimates for End Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD) prevalence and incidence are based on renal replacement therapy (RRT) registers. However, not all people... -
Performance of cytokine models in predicting SLE activity
Abstract Background Identification of universal biomarkers to predict systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) flares is challenging due to the heterogeneity of the disease. Several... -
Molecular mechanism of the priming by jasmonic acid of specific dehydration s...
Abstract Background Plant genes that provide a different response to a similar dehydration stress illustrate the concept of transcriptional ‘dehydration stress memory’.... -
Challenges in the construction of knowledge bases for human microbiome-diseas...
Abstract The last few years have seen tremendous growth in human microbiome research, with a particular focus on the links to both mental and physical health and disease.... -
Contrasting transcriptional responses of PYR1/PYL/RCAR ABA receptors to ABA o...
Abstract Background The different actions of abscisic acid (ABA) in the aboveground and belowground parts of plants suggest the existence of a distinct perception mechanism... -
Grape seed-derived procyanidins alleviate gout pain via NLRP3 inflammasome su...
Abstract Background Gout is one of the common inflammatory arthritis which affects many people for inflicting unbearable pain. Macrophage-mediated inflammation plays an... -
Production of human pro-relaxin H2 in the yeast Pichia pastoris
Abstract Background Initially known as the reproductive hormone, relaxin was shown to possess other therapeutically useful properties that include extracellular matrix... -
Production of rosmarinic acid and correlated gene expression in hairy root cu...
Rosmarinic acid (RA) is an active constituent of Ocimum basilicum. It has been shown that hairy root production (measured as dry weight) improves when green basil (O. basilicum... -
Canalization of gene expression is a major signature of regulatory cold adapt...
Abstract Background Transcriptome analysis may provide means to investigate the underlying genetic causes of shared and divergent phenotypes in different populations and help to... -
Evaluating urinary estrogen and progesterone metabolites using dried filter p...
Abstract Background Measuring concentrations of metabolites of estradiol and progesterone in urine, instead of measuring serum concentrations, is common in research and also is... -
Tigecycline in critically ill patients on continuous renal replacement therap...
Abstract Background Tigecycline is a vital antibiotic treatment option for infections caused by multiresistant bacteria in the intensive care unit (ICU). Acute kidney injury... -
Complete versus culprit-only revascularization in patients with ST-segment el...
Abstract Background The best strategy for the treatment of the non-infarct artery in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease (MVD)... -
Effect of steroids and relevant cytokine analysis in acute tubulointerstitial...
Abstract Background Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) is an important cause of acute kidney injury and often a potentially reversible disease. However, the role of... -
Heat and emergency room admissions in the Netherlands
Abstract Background Due to a global warming-related increase in heatwaves, it is important to obtain detailed understanding of the relationship between heat and health. We... -
Inhaled nitric oxide for neonates with persistent pulmonary hypertension of t...
Abstract Background Substantial numbers of neonates with hypoxic respiratory failure (HRF) do not immediately respond to inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) and are often labeled as... -
Bone mineral density in patients with multiple sclerosis, hereditary ataxia o...
Abstract Background Although disability is considered the main cause of low bone mineral density (BMD) in multiple sclerosis (MS), other factors related to the disease process... -
Focusing light with orbital angular momentum by circular array antenna
We experimentally demonstrated focusing of light with orbital angular momentum (OAM) using an 8-element circular array of linear antennas. A spiral phase plate was used to... -
Early nasal high-flow versus Venturi mask oxygen therapy after lung resection...
Abstract Background Data on high-flow nasal oxygen after thoracic surgery are limited and confined to the comparison with low-flow oxygen. Different from low-flow oxygen,...
