A polymorphism in CD14 modifies the effect of farm milk consumption on allergic diseases and CD14 gene expression (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Consumption of farm milk in early life is associated with less asthma and allergies. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that genetic variation in the innate immunity receptor CD14 might modify the
Training in flexible intensive insulin therapy improves quality of life, decreases the risk of hypoglycaemia and ameliorates poor metabolic control in... (Publications)
AIM: Intensified insulin therapy has evolved to be the standard treatment of type 1 diabetes. However, it has been reported to increase significantly the risk of hypoglycaemia. We studied the effect o
Low-grade inflammation and estimates of insulin resistance during the menstrual cycle in lean and overweight women (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Inflammatory markers and insulin resistance are independent cardiovascular risk factors and are thought to be influenced by sex steroids. We investigated changes of inflammatory markers an
Comparison of the Flotac-400 dual technique and the formalin-ether concentration technique for the diagnosis of human intestinal protozoa infection (Publications)
There is a need for accurate diagnosis of intestinal parasite infections in humans, but currently available copromicroscopic techniques have shortcomings, such as low sensitivity. We compared the diag
