Evolution of replacement therapy for von Willebrand disease : From plasma fraction to recombinant von Willebrand factor

The diagnosis and treatment of von Willebrand disease (VWD) are challenging, in part because patients exhibit a wide range of bleeding patterns and manifestations (e.g. epistaxis, gingival bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding, gastrointestinal bleeds, postoperative bleeding, hemarthroses) and in part because many tests are required to make an accurate diagnosis. Factor replacement therapies for VWD

The Element of Play in Interpretation and Classical Piano Performance

“The stage is a playground, it’s not a serious place where you have to be at your best, ... it should be a playground.” Nir Ben Gal, choreographerDuring my years of study, and later as a performing artist, performance was never discussed conceptually and questions regarding audience interaction and stage fright were seldom raised. Further, musicians suffering from stage fright are most often refer

Responses of tundra carbon cycling and storage to reindeer-induced vegetation shifts : Can reindeer alter how much carbon tundra ecosystems store?

In this presentation, I will summarize our findings on the effects of reindeer-induced vegetation transitions on carbon cycling processes and storage. These are monitored in subarctic Northern Norway alongside reindeer pasture rotation fences. At these sites, a yearly pulse of intensive reindeer grazing has turned the vegetation from shrub-dominated towards graminoid-dominated. We monitor the deve

Cyclin-dependent kinase 8/19 inhibition suppresses osteoclastogenesis by downregulating RANK and promotes osteoblast mineralization and cancellous bone healing

Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is a mediator complex-associated transcriptional regulator that acts depending on context and cell type. While primarily under investigation as potential cancer therapeutics, some inhibitors of CDK8—and its paralog CDK19—have been reported to affect the osteoblast lineage and bone formation. This study investigated the effects of two selective CDK8/19 inhibitors on

Numerical simulation of ignition mode and ignition delay time of pulverized biomass particles

In this paper, numerical simulations were carried out to identify the mode of ignition and ignition delay time of pulverized biomass particles in hot flue gas produced by a methane/air flame. In the experiments, it was observed that for most biomass residues the dominant combustion mode was the staged gas-phase ignition in the surrounding gas followed by surface ignition at the char surface. There

Structural Basis for YjbH Adaptor-Mediated Recognition of Transcription Factor Spx

YjbH is a bacterial adaptor protein required for efficient proteolysis of the RNA polymerase-binding transcription factor Spx by the ClpXP protease. We report the structure of YjbH in complex with Spx. YjbH comprises a DsbA-like thioredoxin domain connected via a linker to a C-terminal domain reminiscent of the winged helix-turn-helix fold. The interaction between YjbH and Spx involves a large sur

Biomarkers of blood cadmium and incidence of cardiovascular events in non-smokers : Results from a population-based proteomics study

Background: Cadmium is a toxic metal with multiple adverse health effects, including risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The mechanistic link between cadmium and CVD is unclear. Our aim was to examine the associations between blood cadmium (B-Cd) and 88 potential protein biomarkers of CVD. Methods: B-Cd and 88 plasma proteins were measured in a community-based prospective cohort, the Malmö Diet
