Novel insights into the fenestrated scavenger endothelium of the liver sinusoid
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-03-22)<p>The sinusoids (specialized small blood vessels) of the liver are covered by endothelium (blood vessel wall cells) with open transcellular pores (holes that go from one side to the other) called fenestrations. This allows for efficient bidirectional transfer of solutes between the blood and the hepatocytes (main metabolic liver cell). These fenestrations can disappear or reduce in number and size ... -
Elevating Safe Use of Over-The-Counter Medications in Older Adults: A Narrative Review of Pharmacy Involved Interventions and Recommendations for Improvement
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-20)Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are products that have been made easily accessible to allow patients to treat common ailments without a prescription and the cost of a doctor’s visit.
