Primary intraosseous carcinoma arising in a dentigerous cyst: A case report
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-06)Dentigerous cysts are among the most common cysts of the jaw. They are attached to the crown of an unerupted tooth, most frequently third molars and maxillary canines. They are often asymptomatic and may therefore be diagnosed late. We report a case of a primary intraosseous carcinoma arising from the wall of a dentigerous cyst and describe the expression of typical genes associated with tumour ... -
CALCOCO1 is a soluble reticulophagy receptor
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-25)The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells and plays critical roles in diverse processes in metabolism, signaling and intracellular organization. In response to stress stimuli such as nutrient deprivation, accumulation of misfolded proteins or exposure to chemicals, the ER increases in size through upregulated synthesis of its components to counteract ... -
Capture of a novel, antibiotic resistance encoding, mobile genetic element from Escherichia coli using a new entrapment vector
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-01)<b><p>Aims</b> Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) are often associated with mobile genetic elements (MGEs), which facilitate their movement within and between bacterial populations. Detection of mobility is therefore important to understand the dynamics of MGE dissemination and their associated genes, especially in resistant clinical isolates that often have multiple ARGs associated with MGEs. ... -
Chapter 11 - Hydrogels as intrinsic antimicrobials
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019-10-25)Hydrogels are currently applied as the vehicles for drugs or active substances, rather than the active contributors to therapeutic activities. With increasing challenges related to antimicrobial resistance against many antibiotics, natural origin hydrogels have become attractive as more than just vehicles. Although many natural polymers exhibit intrinsic antimicrobial properties, these properties ... -
Cryoneurolysis for cervicogenic headache - A double blinded randomized controlled study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-13)Background and aims - Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a debilitating condition and analgesics have limited effect. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. <p> <p>Methods - In a university-based ... -
