Co-Exposure of Phenanthrene and the cyp-Inducer 3-Methylchrysene Leads to Altered Biotransformation and Increased Toxicity in Fish Egg and Larvae
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have frequently been suspected of governing crude oil toxicity because of similar morphological defects in fish. However, PAH concentrations are often not high enough to explain the ... -
CO2 Absorption and Transportation Modes in Porous Media: Numerical Simulation and Comparison with Laboratory Experiment
(Master thesis, 2021)Absorption and mass transfer mechanism of CO2 in a uniformly distributed porous media was analyzed using simulation as well as experimental results. The study was performed in a closed PVT cell containing pressurized CO2 ... -
Cognitive Profile in Parkinson’s Disease Dementia Patients with Low versus Normal Cerebrospinal Fluid Amyloid Beta
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction: In patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid beta 1-42 (Ab42) at baseline is the most consistent CSF biomarker as a risk factor for developing dementia. Low CSF Ab42 is, ... -
Coherent feedback leads to robust background compensation in oscillatory and non-oscillatory homeostats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-08)When in a reaction kinetic integral controller a step perturbation is applied besides a constant background, the concentration of a controlled variable (described as A) will generally respond with decreased response ... -
Combinatory microRNA serum signatures as classifiers of Parkinson's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04)As current clinical diagnostic protocols for Parkinson's disease (PD) may be prone to inaccuracies there is a need to identify and validate molecular biomarkers, such as circulating microRNAs, which will complement current ... -
Combined Effect of Citric Acid and Polyphenol-Rich Grape Seed Extract towards Bioactive Smart Food Packaging Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-07)Alginate films (2% w·v−1) were prepared with varying concentrations (5–20% w/w) of citric acid and aqueous grape seed extract (GSE) filtrate (11.66 ± 1.32 g GAE/L) using the solvent-evaporation method. Crosslinking alginate ... -

Combined HER3-EGFR score in triple-negative breast cancer provides prognostic and predictive significance superior to individual biomarkers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) have been investigated as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) biomarkers. Reduced EGFR levels can be compensated by increases in ... -
Comparative study on two deployment methods for large subsea spools
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-08)The demand for subsea spool deployment is increasing with the expansion of offshore projects. For a project to install multiple spools, different deployment methods can be used. The choice of method may influence the safety ... -
Comparison of proliferation and other prognostic biomarkers in lymph node negative primary invasive breast cancer in Spain and Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)Purpose: It is to evaluate patients from Spain and Norway with lymph node (LN)-negative cancer of the Luminal A, Luminal B and Basal-like type, analyzing them through prognostic and predictive factors to determine if there ... -
Comprehensive ctDNA Measurements Improve Prediction of Clinical Outcomes and Enable Dynamic Tracking of Disease Progression in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising tumor-specific biomarker in pancreatic cancer, but current evidence of the clinical potential of ctDNA is limited. In this study, we used comprehensive ... -
Connecting gut microbiome changes with fish health conditions in juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) exposed to dispersed crude oil
