The role of differential cross-linguistic influence and other constraints in predictive L2 gender processing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-17)Previous studies on the use of morphosyntactic gender cues for linguistic prediction show that non-native speakers’ use of grammatical gender information is influenced by various factors. In the present study, we examined the influence of differential cross-linguistic influence (DCLI), knowledge of L2 lexical gender, gender congruency, and L2 fluency. To this end, we investigated L1 Oromo ... -
Novel biomarkers in patients with uncontrolled hypertension with and without kidney damage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-12)Introduction: estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (acR)are insensitive biomarkers for early detection of hypertension-mediated organ damage (hMOD).in this nationwide cross-sectional study, we assessed potential biomarkers for early hMOD inhealthy persons and patients with hypertension. We hypothesised that plasma levels of biomarkers:(1) are different between ... -

Short turnaround time of seven to nine hours from sample collection until informed decision for sepsis treatment using nanopore sequencing
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-03-19)Bloodstream infections (BSIs) and sepsis are major health problems, annually claiming millions of lives. Traditional blood culture techniques, employed to identify sepsis-causing pathogens and assess antibiotic susceptibility, usually take 2–4 days. Early and accurate antibiotic prescription is vital in sepsis to mitigate mortality and antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to reduce the wait time ... -
Synergistic impact of plasma albumin and cognitive function on all-cause mortality in Chinese older adults: a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-07-24)Background: Hypoalbuminemia and cognitive impairment (CI) each independently increase the mortality risk in older adults. However, these two geriatric syndromes can occur simultaneously. In community-dwelling older adults, is the combination of hypoalbuminemia and CI linked to a higher mortality risk than either condition alone?<p> <p>Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between ... -

Plasma brain-derived tau is an amyloid-associated neurodegeneration biomarker in Alzheimer’s disease
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-04)Staging amyloid-beta (Aβ) pathophysiology according to the intensity of neurodegeneration could identify individuals at risk for cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In blood, phosphorylated tau (p-tau) associates with Aβ pathophysiology but an AD-type neurodegeneration biomarker has been lacking. In this multicenter study (n = 1076), we show that brain-derived tau (BD-tau) in blood increases ... -

Millennial-scale variations in Arctic sea ice are recorded in sedimentary ancient DNA of the microalga Polarella glacialis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-09)Sea ice is a critical component of the Earth’s Climate System and a unique habitat. Sea-ice changes prior to the satellite era are poorly documented, and proxy methods are needed to constrain its past variability. Here, we demonstrate the potential of sedimentary DNA from Polarella glacialis, a sea-ice microalga, for tracing past sea-ice conditions. We quantified P. glacialis DNA (targeting the ... -
