Bleeding complications and mortality in warfarin-treated VTE patients, dependence of INR variability and iTTR

High quality of warfarin treatment is important to prevent recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) without bleeding complications. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of individual time in therapeutic range (iTTR) and International Normalised Ratio (INR) variability on bleeding risk and mortality in a large cohort of wellmanaged patients with warfarin due to VTE. A cohort of 16612 p

Learning in global settings: Developing transitions for meaning-making

Global teaching and learning for sustainable development reaches from the classroom to the world outside, and is therefore a particularly interesting setting for practising transition skills. The article suggests a number of features perceived as crucial in developing young people's capability to act in a changing world and under circumstances that are difficult to predict. The suggestions are bas

The archaeological collection of Ayia Irini (Cyprus) : A 3D digital approach to analyse and reinterpret a 20th century study

This paper focuses on the writer’s doctoral research about the development of a 3D digital approach to study, analyse and (re)interpret archaeological collections. 3D documentation, based on the integration of digital technologies, is applied to a group of small terracotta figurines from the Ayia Irini archaeological excavation (Cyprus).The aim of the research is to enhance the stylistic, typologi

Close-ups from afar: the nature of the informal venture capital market in a spatial context

The availability of external equity finance is one of the vital conditions for emergence and growth of young entrepreneurial firms. Yet, the access to finance is both limited and unevenly distributed in geographical space. At the same time, there is anecdotal evidence that the informal venture capital market plays a significant role in providing small-scale geographically dispersed finance to entr

Comparing East Asian and Scandinavian Redistribution Models in a Global Context

In this paper we discuss social policy in relation to different development contexts, where characteristics and outcomes of social policies in different sectors ( e.g.,housing, care, education, social security) are compared. The paper relates to the discussion on the causes and outcomes of welfare state management in different contexts. However, existing analytical models do not fit the mixtures o

Risk of childhood asthma is associated with CpG-site polymorphisms, regional DNA methylation and mRNA levels at the GSDMB/ORMDL3 locus

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GSDMB (Gasdermin B) and ORMDL3 (ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 3) are strongly associated with childhood asthma, but the molecular alterations contributing to disease remain unknown. We investigated the effects of asthma-associated SNPs on DNA methylation and mRNA levels of GSDMB and ORMDL3. Genetic association between GSDMB/ORMDL3 and physician

Workforce unavailability in Parkinson's disease

Objectives: Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) become unavailable in the workforce earlier than comparable members of the general population. This may result in significant social insurance expenses, but as workforce participation can be a source for social interaction and a vital part of the personal identity, there are likely to be personal implications extending far beyond the economic a
