RatLesNetv2: A Fully Convolutional Network for Rodent Brain Lesion Segmentation
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020)
articleartikkeli
We present a fully convolutional neural network (ConvNet), named RatLesNetv2, for segmenting lesions in rodent magnetic resonance (MR) brain images. RatLesNetv2 architecture resembles an autoencoder and it incorporates ...
Design and synthesis of lipid-mimetic cationic iridium complexes and their liposomal formulation for in vitro and in vivo application in luminescent bioimaging
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2020)
articleartikkeli
Two iridium [Ir(N^C)2(N^N)]+ complexes with the diimine N^N ligand containing a long polymethylene hydrophobic chain were synthesized and characterized by using NMR and ESI mass-spectrometry: N^N – 2-(1-hexadecyl-1H-imid ...
BMP6/TAZ-Hippo signaling modulates angiogenesis and endothelial cell response to VEGF
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021)
articleartikkeli
The BMP/TGFβ-Smad, Notch and VEGF signaling guides formation of endothelial tip and stalk cells. However, the crosstalk of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) ...
Preoperative atrial fibrillation in association with reduced haemoglobin predicts increased 30-d mortality after cardiac surgery
(Informa UK Limited, 2021)
articleartikkeli
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia occurring after cardiac surgery. Less attention has been focused on preoperative atrial fibrillation and anaemia as risk factors for mortality after cardiac surgery. The ...
Educational interventions for preventing lead poisoning in workers
(Wiley, 2018)
articleartikkeli
Background
On a daily basis, workers in a wide range of industries come in contact with a harmful metal called lead. There is no known level of exposure to lead that does not cause harm to health, therefore, reducing ...
Health care students' perceptions about learning of affective interpersonal communication competence in interprofessional simulations
(Elsevier BV, 2020)

Background
Health professionals need interpersonal communication competence (ICC) in their work with patients and other professionals. Interprofessional simulation provides health care students with an opportunity to ...
Cervical Cancer Screening Participation among Women of Russian, Somali, and Kurdish Origin Compared with the General Finnish Population: A Register-Based Study
(MDPI AG, 2020)
articleartikkeli
Migrant-origin women are less prone to cervical screening uptake compared with host populations. This study examined cervical cancer screening participation and factors associated with it in the Finnish mass screening ...
Relationship between patient activation measurement and self-rated health in patients with chronic diseases
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
articleartikkeli
Background
In the aging population, chronic diseases and multimorbidity are common. Therefore, it is important to engage patients in their self-care. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between activity ...
Characterization, Stability, and in Vivo Efficacy Studies of Recombinant Human CNTF and Its Permeation Into the Neural Retina in Ex Vivo Organotypic Retinal Explant Culture Models
(MDPI AG, 2020)
articleartikkeli
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is one of the most studied neuroprotective agents withacknowledged potential in treating diseases of the posterior eye segment. Although its efficacy andmechanisms of action in the retina ...
A 2 year physical activity and dietary intervention attenuates the increase in insulin resistance in a general population of children: the PANIC study
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020)
articleartikkeli
Aims/hypothesis
We studied for the first time the long-term effects of a combined physical activity and dietary intervention on insulin resistance and fasting plasma glucose in a general population of predominantly ...
