Inter‐individual variation of the urinary steroid profiles in Swedish and Norwegian athletes
2020
The steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) aims to detect doping with endogenous steroids, e.g. testosterone (T), by longitudinally monitoring several biomarkers. These biomarkers are ratios combined of urinary concentrations of testosterone and metabolically related steroids. However, it is evident after five years of monitoring steroid passports, that there are large variations in the steroid ratios complicating its interpretation. In this study, we used over 11 000 urinary steroid profiles from Swedish and Norwegian athletes to determine both the inter‐ and intra‐individual variations of all steroids and ratios in the steroidal passport. Furthermore, we investigated if…

Phosphorous removal from human urine using lateritic soil
2023
Phosphorous (P) in human urine is among the macronutrients in municipal wastewater that has exacerbated eutrophication of water bodies. Adsorption of P from wastewater using cost effective, environmentally friendly, and efficient adsorbents is considered as an attractive method that can both mitigate the eutrophication problem and augment the already strained P reserves. In the present study the adsorption capacity and structural properties of lateritic soil (LS), the adsorbent for removal of P from human urine, was investigated using XRF, SEM, TGA and FTIR techniques. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to determine various adsorption parameters such as the sorption rates, the conc…
Maternal risk factors of urinary incontinence during pregnancy and postpartum: A prospective cohort study
2021
Highlights • Urinary incontinence after delivery affects every fifth woman. • Urinary incontinence before pregnancy is a risk factor of postpartum incontinence. • Primiparous women are at a greater risk of urinary incontinence after birth.
Impact of Urinary Incontinence on Physical Function and Respiratory Muscle Strength in Incontinent Women : A Comparative Study between Urinary Incont…
2022
Patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) may be afraid to increase intra-abdominal pressure to avoid incontinence. This could lead to weak expiratory muscles. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between respiratory muscle strength, physical function, and SUI in patients with SUI. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Physical Medicine and Functional Rehabilitation Department. Thirty-one incontinent women (IG) and twenty-nine women in a control group (CG) were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric data, respiratory muscle strength (maximal inspiratory pressure; maximal expiratory pressure), SUI (Urogenital Distress Inventory-6; Incontinence Impact Question…

Yhdistetyn kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelun hormonaaliset vaikutukset emäksisyyttä ja happamuutta tuottavalla ravinnolla 12 viikon aikana
2013
Johdanto. Riittävä energian- ja proteiininsaanti ovat avainasemassa, kun fyysisellä harjoittelulla halutaan saavuttaa tuloksia. Yhdessä harjoittelu ja ravinto aiheuttavat muutoksia elimistön hormonitoimintaan ja tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena olikin tarkastella kestävyys- ja voimaharjoittelun ja kahden erilaisen ruokavalion vaikutuksia veren testosteroni-, kortisoli- ja SHBG- pitoisuuksiin sekä muutoksiin virtsan pH:ssa. Menetelmät. Tutkimukseen osallistui yhteensä 49 kuntoliikuntaa harrastavaa naista ja miestä, jotka jaettiin kahteen ruokavalioryhmään (EMÄS / HAPAN). EMÄS -ryhmän ruokavalio oli arvioitu PRAL (potential renal acid load = potentiaalinen munuaisten happokuorma) -menetelmän a…
1H NMR Urinary Metabolomic Analysis in Older Adults after Hip Fracture Surgery May Provide Valuable Information for Patient Profiling : A Preliminary…
2022
In these times of precision and personalized medicine, profiling patients to identify their needs is crucial to providing the best and most cost-effective treatment. In this study, we used urine metabolomics to explore the characterization of older adults with hip fractures and to explore the forecasting of patient outcomes. Overnight urine specimens were collected from 33 patients (mean age 80 ± 8 years) after hip fracture surgery during their stay at a rehabilitation hospital. The specimens were analyzed with 1H NMR spectroscopy. We performed a metabolomics study regarding assessments of frailty status, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). …
