(2022-08)BACKGROUND: Pneumonia is commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and associated with subsequent cardiovascular complications and increased mortality. Potential short-term survival benefits conferred by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) use ... -
(2022-01-18)The successful clinical application of bone tissue engineering requires customized implants based on the receiver’s bone anatomy and defect characteristics. Three-dimensional (3D) printing in small animal orthopedics has recently emerged as a valuable ...
-
(2023)INTRODUCTION: There is accumulating evidence that many pathological conditions affecting human balance are consequence of postural control (PC) failure or overstimulation such as in motion sickness. Our research shows the potential of using the response ...
-
(2023-05-15)OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between traffic-related ambient air pollution and emergency hospital visits for cardiac arrest. DESIGN: Case-crossover design was used with a lag time to 4 days. SETTING: The Reykjavik capital area and the study ...
-
(2022-04-28)Various epidemiological studies, including case reports and -series in addition to larger, population-based studies, have reported an increased prevalence of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and multiple myeloma in individuals ...
-
(2023-04-03)Objective.To decipher brain network dynamic remodeling from electroencephalography (EEG) during a complex postural control (PC) task combining virtual reality and a moving platform.Approach.EEG (64 electrodes) data from 158 healthy subjects were acquired. ...
-
(2024-01)Articular cartilage morphology and composition are essential factors in joint biomechanics, and their alteration is a crucial aspect of osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent disease that causes pain and functional loss. This research focuses on developing ...
-
(2023-12-12)Introduction: The aging population poses significant challenges to healthcare systems globally, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of age-related changes affecting physical function. Age-related functional decline highlights the urgency of ...
-
(2022-04-19)BACKGROUND: The Treatment as Prevention for Hepatitis C program started in 2016 in Iceland, offering treatment with direct-acting antivirals to hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected individuals. Reinfections through injection drug use (IDU) can hamper ...
-
(2023-09-01)Tissue-engineered bone tissue grafts are a promising alternative to the more conventional use of natural donor bone grafts. However, choosing an appropriate biomaterial/scaffold to sustain cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation in a 3D ...
-
(2022-03-03)INNGANGUR Bakteríur af ættkvíslinni Bacillus finnast víða í umhverfinu og eru almennt taldar hafa litla meinvirkni, að miltisbrandsbakteríunni B. anthracis undanskilinni. Oft er álitið að um mengun sé að ræða ef Bacillus-tegundir finnast með ræktun. ...
-
(2022-12-16)Postural instability and loss of vestibular and somatosensory acuity are among the signs encountered in Parkinson's disease (PD). Visual dependency is described in PD. These modifications of sensory input hierarchy are predictors of motion sickness ...
-
(2021-06-01)Background & Aims: The incidence of cirrhosis in Iceland has been the lowest in the world with only 3 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Alcohol consumption has almost doubled in Iceland from 1980 to 2016. Obesity has also risen and hepatitis C virus has ...
-
(2022-01-27)Objective: Due to a tender process in Iceland, all patients on Humira® were switched nationwide to its biosimilar Imraldi® in March 2019. The study aimed to explore the patient's perspective of the Humira® and Imraldi® injection devices. Methods: A ...
-
(2022-12-15)Introduction: Postural control is a sensorimotor mechanism that can reveal neurophysiological disorder. The present work studies the quantitative response to a complex postural control task. Methods: We measure electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography ...
-
(2022-04-29)Objective: There is a lack of real-life studies on interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibition in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). We assessed real-life 6- and 12-month effectiveness (i.e., retention, remission, low disease activity [LDA], and response rates) of the ...
-
(2023-09-20)Manual material handling and load lifting are activities that can cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders. For this reason, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health proposed an equation depending on the following parameters: ...
-
(2022-04-06)INNGANGUR Sóttvarnaaðgerðir og breytingar á venjum almennings drógu úr útbreiðslu COVID-19 smita á árinu 2020 en áhrif aðgerðanna á tilurð og greiningu annarra sjúkdóma eru óþekkt. Markmið þessarar rannsóknar var að skoða áhrif heimsfaraldurs COVID-19 ...
-
(2023-06-13)Phase slips arise from state transitions of the coordinated activity of cortical neurons which can be extracted from the EEG data. The phase slip rates (PSRs) were studied from the high-density (256 channel) EEG data, sampled at 16.384 kHz, of five ...
-
(2022-04-08)Bone is an extraordinary biological material that continuously adapts its hierarchical microstructure to respond to static and dynamic loads for offering optimal mechanical features, in terms of stiffness and toughness, across different scales, from ...
