Dark chocolate and reduced snack consumption in mildly hypertensive adults: an intervention study
(BioMed Central, 2015-08-22)Background Several studies have shown that cocoa and cocoa-containing foods have the potential to lower blood pressure and improve endothelial function. Most of the studies reporting the beneficial effects of dark chocolate ... -
Data analytics approach to create waste generation profiles for waste management and collection
(Elsevier BVAlankomaat, 2018)Extensive monitoring data on waste generation is increasingly collected in order to implement cost-efficient and sustainable waste management operations. In addition, geospatial data from different registries of the society ... -
Data on synthesis of methylene bisphosphonates and screening of their inhibitory activity towards HIV reverse transcriptase
(Elsevier Inc., 2016)Inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) mimetics designed on a basis of methylenediphosphonic acid backbone are promising inhibitors of two key HIV replication enzymes, IN [1] and RT [2]. Herein, we present chemical synthesis of ... -
Data-Driven Differential Diagnosis of Dementia Using Multiclass Disease State Index Classifier
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018)Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) hold potential for the differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. We developed a novel CDSS, the PredictND tool, designed for differential diagnosis of different types ... -
The database of the PREDICTS (Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems) project
(Wiley-BlackwellYhdysvallat (USA), 2017)The PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples ... -
Decline of genetic diversity in ancient domestic stallions in Europe
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2018)Present-day domestic horses are immensely diverse in their maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA, yet they show very little variation on their paternally inherited Y chromosome. Although it has recently been shown that Y ... -
Decompositions of Nakano norms by ODE techniques
(Finnish Academy of Science and LettersSuomi, 2018)We study decompositions of Nakano type varying-exponent Lebesgue norms and spaces. These function spaces are represented here in a natural way as tractable varying-exponent ℓp sums of projection bands. The main results ... -
Decrease of Population Divergence in Eurasian Perch (Perca fluviatilis) in Browning Waters: Role of Fatty Acids and Foraging Efficiency
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2016)Due to altered biogeochemical processes related to climate change, highly colored dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from terrestrial sources will lead to a water “brownification” in many freshwater systems of the Northern ... -
Decreased expression of hyaluronan synthase 1 and 2 associates with poor prognosis in cutaneous melanoma
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2016)Background Hyaluronan is a large extracellular matrix molecule involved in several biological processes such as proliferation, migration and invasion. In many cancers, hyaluronan synthesis is altered, which implicates ... -
Decreased plasma C-reactive protein levels in APOE E 4 allele carriers
(Wiley, 2018)Objective Apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 allele is a well‐established risk factor in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we assessed the effects of APOE polymorphism on cardiovascular, metabolic, and inflammation‐related parameters ... -
Deep convolutional neural networks for estimating porous material parameters with ultrasound tomography
(Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2018)The feasibility of data based machine learning applied to ultrasound tomography is studied to estimate water-saturated porous material parameters. In this work, the data to train the neural networks is simulated by solving ... -
Deficiency of urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its receptor affects social behavior and increases seizure susceptibility
(Elsevier BVAlankomaat, 2019)Extracellular proteolysis initiated by the binding of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to its receptor (uPAR) regulates the development of inhibitory neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex and tissue remodeling ... -
Defining the risk factors for acute, subacute and chronic cough: a cross-sectional study in a Finnish adult employee population .
(BMJ, 2018)Objectives Chronic cough is linked to various long-standing risk factors like asthma, chronic rhinitis and oesophageal reflux disease. On the contrary, acute and subacute cough are usually considered to be caused by acute ... -
Degradation potentials of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from thawed permafrost peat
(Springer Nature, 2017)Global warming can substantially affect the export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from peat-permafrost to aquatic systems. The direct degradability of such peat-derived DOC, however, is poorly constrained because previous ... -
Degrowth in city planning
(Fennia - International Journal of GeographySuomi, 2018)This paper summarises the key arguments of degrowth thinking and examines their validity in a city planning setting. The paper argues that much of the reorientation work that is necessary to meet the goals of international ... -
Delayed, distant skin lesions after transcranial direct current stimulation

Delivering a one-stop, integrated, and patient-centered service for patients with rheumatic diseases
(SAGE Publications, 2016)Objective: To describe a one-stop, integrated rheumatology service and assess patient satisfaction. Methods: A descriptive report and patient satisfaction survey of a rheumatology clinic model first developed in 1996 ... -
Dental and periodontal health in Finnish adults in 2000 and 2011
(Informa UK Limited, 2018)Objective: We assessed dental and periodontal health in adults aged ≥30 years living in southern and northern Finland as part of the Health 2000/2011 Surveys (BRIF8901). Material and methods: Clinical findings in 2000 ... -
Depletion of the Third Complement Component Ameliorates Age-Dependent Oxidative Stress and Positively Modulates Autophagic Activity in Aged Retinas in a Mouse Model
(Hindawi Limited, 2017)The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of complement component C3 global depletion on the biological structure and function of the aged retina. In vivo morphology (OCT), electrophysiological function (ERG), ... -
Deposition of respiratory virus pathogens on frequently touched surfaces at airports
(Springer Nature America, Inc, 2018)Background International and national travelling has made the rapid spread of infectious diseases possible. Little information is available on the role of major traffic hubs, such as airports, in the transmission of ...
