25 years of advances in the definition, classification and treatment of status epilepticus
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Purpose Status epilepticus (SE) requires not only urgent symptomatic treatment with antiepileptic drugs but also rapid identification and treatment of its cause. This narrative review summarizes the most important advances ... -
A century of trends in adult human height
(eLife Sciences Organisation, Ltd., 2016)Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height ... -
A Comparison of Nonlinear Measures for the Detection of Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy from Heart Rate Variability
(MDPI AG, 2015-03-19)In this work we compare three multiscale measures for their ability to discriminate between participants having cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) and aged controls. CAN is a disease that involves nerve damage leading to ... -
A Fibre-Reinforced Poroviscoelastic Model Accurately Describes the Biomechanical Behaviour of the Rat Achilles Tendon
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-06-01)Background Computational models of Achilles tendons can help understanding how healthy tendons are affected by repetitive loading and how the different tissue constituents contribute to the tendon’s biomechanical response. ... -

(EAHIL, 2015)A match made in EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015” – a combination of handouts, a bulletin board and some post-it-notes, announcements in Facebook and Twitter, and a workshop session – was an initiative at the EAHIL+ICAHIS+ICLC 2015 ... -
A non-targeted metabolite profiling pilot study suggests that tryptophan and lipid metabolisms are linked with ADHD-like behaviours in dogs
(Springer Nature, 2016)Background Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent and multifactorial neuropsychiatric disorder in the human population worldwide. Complex etiology and clinical heterogeneity have challenged the ... -
A synthesis of cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements within the EUCAARI network
(Copernicus GmbH, 2015-11-04)Cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements performed at 14 locations around the world within the European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) framework have been ... -
Accessibility in the provinces of Finland
(Geographical society of FinlandFI, 1981)Relative, mean and integral accessibility in the existing provinces of Finland and in the proposed new provinces was studied applying graph theory, through evaluating the shapes of the provinces by reference to polygonal ... -
Acute detachment of hexokinase II from mitochondria modestly increases oxygen consumption of the intact mouse heart
(Elsevier BV, 2017)Objective Cardiac hexokinase II (HKII) can translocate between cytosol and mitochondria and change its cellular expression with pathologies such as ischemia–reperfusion, diabetes and heart failure. The cardiac metabolic ... -
Adaptive Procurement Guidelines for Automatic Selection of Renewable Forest Energy Sources within a Sustainable Energy Production System
(MDPI AG, 2016)An automatic forest-stand selection method was developed that integrates the procurement of profitable energy sources within a sustainable energy production system. We tested the method using a forest harvester simulator. ... -
Adipose Tissue Dysfunction and Altered Systemic Amino Acid Metabolism Are Associated with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2015-10-06)Background Fatty liver is a major cause of obesity-related morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify early metabolic alterations associated with liver fat accumulation in 50- to 55-year-old men (n ... -
Adrenomedullin: a marker of impaired hemodynamics, organ dysfunction, and poor prognosis in cardiogenic shock
(Springer Nature, 2017)Background The clinical CardShock risk score, including baseline lactate levels, was recently shown to facilitate risk stratification in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). As based on baseline parameters, however, it ... -

An adsorption theory of heterogeneous nucleation of water vapour on nanoparticles
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2016)Heterogeneous nucleation of water vapour on insoluble nuclei is a phenomenon that can induce atmospheric water and ice cloud formation. However, modelling of the phenomenon is hampered by the fact that the predictive ... -
An examination of strategic orientation profiles of low- and high-performing international SMEs
(Australian & new zealand marketing academy conference, 2015-11-30)Strategic orientations are believed to be associated with the international performance of SMEs, but empirical evidence on the subject is scarce. Addressing this research gap, the present study examines whether low- and ... -
Angiogenic gene therapy in cardiovascular diseases: dream or vision?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017)Chronic cardiovascular diseases are significant health problems. Although current treatment strategies have tremendously improved disease management, up to 30% of these patients cannot be successfully treated with current ... -
Aphanomyces astaci isolate from latently infected stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) population is virulent
(Elsevier BV, 2017)Aphanomyces astaci infection is the cause of crayfish plague in European crayfish. Here the virulence of an A. astaci As strain isolated from apparently healthy stone crayfish (Austropotamobius torrentium) from Slovenia ... -
Approaching Multifunctionality by a 'Normative View': Finnish Farmers' Visions on Contemporary Agriculture
(De Gruyter Open, 2016)Productivity alone is not the most important defining character of contemporary agriculture. On the grounds of the dominant models of market liberalization and multifunctionality, farmers have been urged to take new roles ... -
Are risk predicting models useful for estimating survival of patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease?
(Springer NatureBritannia, 2017)Background Risk predicting models have been applied in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but still not validated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). The purpose of this ... -
