Psoriasis and Its Impact on In-Hospital Outcome in Patients Hospitalized with Acute Kidney Injury
2020
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease which affects the body far beyond the skin. Whereas there is solid evidence that chronic skin inflammation in psoriasis drives cardiovascular disease, the impact on renal impairment and acute kidney injury (AKI) is still unclear. We aimed to analyze the impact of psoriasis on the in-hospital outcome of patients hospitalized with AKI. Methods: In this retrospective database study, we investigated data on characteristics, comorbidities, and in-hospital outcomes for all hospitalized patients with AKI stratified for concomitant psoriasis, which were collected by the Federal Office of Statistics in Germany between 2005 and 2016. Results: Am…
Evaluación y caracterización biomecánica de los trinquetes de pelota valenciana. (Biomechanical assessment and characterization of the Valencian ball…
2012
El trinquete es la instalacion de referencia en la practica de la pelota valenciana, donde se juegan las modalidades profesionales de escala i corda y raspall. Sin embargo, no existe una normativa ni procedimientos de ensayo especificos que permitan definir las caracteristicas mecanicas que deben reunir paredes y pavimento del trinquete, para que los jugadores tengan una practica segura y optimicen su rendimiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar diferentes variables mecanicas en las instalaciones de juego, determinar los procedimientos de ensayo mas adecuados y, finalmente, proponer unos valores mecanicos que definan una instalacion de calidad. Los estudios se llevaron a cabo en 10…
Kuin virtuaalinen ystävä : YouTube-tähtien fanittamisen ytimessä on kokemus läheisestä yhteydestä tubettajan kanssa
2020
Tubettajat ovat nousseet 2010-luvulla monien suomalaisten lasten ja nuorten ihailun kohteeksi. Tubettajat ovat usein nuoria itsekin, mutta kykenevät vetämään sosiaalisen median kanaviensa ääreen yleisömääriä, joiden edessä moni perinteinen media kalpenee. Seuraajat saattavat kokea voimakkaita yhteyden kokemuksia suosikkitubettajiensa kanssa, minkä vuoksi tubettajat kiinnostavat myös kaupallisia toimijoita. nonPeerReviewed
Depressive symptoms and long-term income: The Young Finns Study
2016
Abstract Background Higher depressive symptoms have been associated with lower future income. However, studies examining this issue have had limited follow-up times and have used self-reported measures of income. Also, possible confounders or mediators have not been accounted. Methods 971 women and 738 men were selected from the ongoing prospective Young Finns Study (YFS) that began in 1980. Depressive symptoms were measured in 1992 when participants were from 15 to 30 years old. Information on annual income and earnings from 1993 to 2010 were obtained from the Finnish Longitudinal Employer-Employee Data (FLEED) of Statistics Finland and linked to the YFS. Results Higher depressive symptoms…
Income and Career Concerns Among Emerging Adults From Finland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom During COVID-19
2023
In this study, we examine the prevalence of income and career concerns among emerging adults in three different welfare states during COVID-19: Finland ( n = 309), Sweden ( n = 324), and the United Kingdom ( n = 343). This study also delves into how factors such as one’s self-perceived financial situation, generalized mistrust, loneliness and socio-demographics are related to emerging adults’ income and career concerns. Results showed that individuals from the United Kingdom were more likely to experience increased income and career concerns than those in Finland and Sweden. Our results also suggest that income concerns were associated with one’s current financial situation, future financi…
Targeting the Activin Receptor Signaling to Counteract the Multi-Systemic Complications of Cancer and Its Treatments
2021
Muscle wasting, i.e., cachexia, frequently occurs in cancer and associates with poor prognosis and increased morbidity and mortality. Anticancer treatments have also been shown to contribute to sustainment or exacerbation of cachexia, thus affecting quality of life and overall survival in cancer patients. Pre-clinical studies have shown that blocking activin receptor type 2 (ACVR2) or its ligands and their downstream signaling can preserve muscle mass in rodents bearing experimental cancers, as well as in chemotherapy-treated animals. In tumor-bearing mice, the prevention of skeletal and respiratory muscle wasting was also associated with improved survival. However, the definitive proof tha…
Mast cells as protectors of health.
2019
Mast cells (MCs), which are well known for their effector functions in T(H)2-skewed allergic and also autoimmune inflammation, have become increasingly acknowledged for their role in protection of health. It is now clear that they are also key modulators of immune responses at interface organs, such as the skin or gut. MCs can prime tissues for adequate inflammatory responses and cooperate with dendritic cells in T-cell activation. They also regulate harmful immune responses in trauma and help to successfully orchestrate pregnancy. This review focuses on the beneficial effects of MCs on tissue homeostasis and elimination of toxins or venoms. MCs can enhance pathogen clearance in many bacter…
Comparative histological and immunohistochemical study of ameloblastomas and ameloblastic carcinomas
2017
Background This study aimed to compare the histological and immunohistochemical characteristics of ameloblastomas (AM) and ameloblastic carcinomas (AC). Material and Methods Fifteen cases of AM and 9 AC were submitted to hematoxilin and eosin (H&E) and immunohistochemical analysis with the following antibodies: cytokeratins 5,7,8,14 and 19, Ki-67, p53, p63 and the cellular adhesion molecules CD138 (Syndecan-1), E-cadherin and β-catenin. The mean score of the expression of Ki-67 and p53 labelling index (LIs) were compared between the groups using the t test. A value of p<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results All cases were positive for CKs 5, 14 and 19, but negative fo…
Porolaidunnuksen vaikutus sammalten monimuotoisuuteen tuottavilla ja vähätuottoisilla tuntureilla pohjoisessa Fennoskandiassa
2010
Laiduntajat vaikuttavat kasvillisuuteen useilla sekä suorilla että epäsuorilla mekanismeilla, joista epäsuorat voivat olla ekosysteemiprosessien kannalta tärkeämpiä. Vähätuottoisella tundralla kasvinsyöjien vaikutuksen kasvillisuuteen tiedetään olevan merkittävä, mutta suuri osa tutkimuksesta on keskittynyt laiduntajien ravintokasveihin. Tundralla sammalet muodostavat suuren osan kasviyhteisöjen biomassasta ja monimuotoisuudesta, ja niiden on havaittu toimivan laiduntajien vaikutusten välittäjinä muuhun kasvillisuuteen ja maaperään. Laidunnuksen vaikutuksia sammalyhteisöihin on kuitenkin tutkittu hyvin vähän. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin poron (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) laidunnukse…
Internetmainosten tungettelevuuteen vaikuttavat tekijät ja tungettelevuuden seuraukset : tapaus YouTube
2016
Internetmainokset koetaan pääsääntöisesti tungettelevina, koska ne keskeyttä-vät tai häiritsevät meneillään olevaa internetin selailua. Mainosten tungettele-vuudesta seuraa yleensä ärtymyksen tunteita ja mainoksia aletaan vältellä. In-ternetmainonnan muodoista erityisesti videomainonta on yleistynyt viime vuo-sina ja tästä syystä videomainosten tungettelevuuteen tulisi kiinnittää huomiota. Tunnistamalla internetmainosten tungettelevuuteen vaikuttavat tekijät, pystytään toteuttamaan vähemmän tungettelevia mainoksia. Tässä tutkielmassa keskitytään ensisijaisesti YouTuben TrueView pre-roll -mainosten tungettelevuuteen vaikuttaviin tekijöihin ja tungettelevuuden seu-rauksiin. Tutkielmassa tarka…
