The association between TNF-receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) and mortality as well as kidney function decline in patients with chronic kidney disease by Per Wändell, Tobias Feldreich, Anders Larsson, Philip A. Kalra, Johan Ärnlöv, Toralph Ruge, Axel C. Carlsson

“…Differences in eGFR decline in relation to plasma TNFR1 and TNFR2 were estimated by both linear and logistic regression models, with regression coefficients and odds ratios (ORs). Results: Univariate models showed significant associations between TNFR1 (n = 985) and TNFR2 (n = 988) and all-cause mortality based on 7424 person-years at risk, but in the fully adjusted models with continuous variables significant only for TNFR2 HR 1.17 (1.03–1.34), but with a borderline value for TNFR1 HR 1.15 (1.00–1.31). …”

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay and loss-of-function of the protein underlie the X-linked epilepsy associated with the W356× mutation in synapsin I. by Maila Giannandrea, Fabrizia C Guarnieri, Niels H Gehring, Elena Monzani, Fabio Benfenati, Andreas E Kulozik, Flavia Valtorta

“…Given that the NMD efficiency is highly variable among individuals and cell types, we investigated also the effects of expression of the mutant protein and found that it is expressed at lower levels compared to wild-type synapsin I, forms perinuclear aggregates and is unable to reach presynaptic terminals in mature hippocampal neurons grown in culture. …”

Energy Consumption and Economic Growth Nexus: Insights from EU Member States by Dalina-Maria ANDREI

“…It searches for some short/long term relationships of these through a panel type model, based on the Cobb-Douglas neoclassic production function. Reference examples in the literature and tests applied for unit roots and cointegration determine our option for an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model able to identify both common coefficients of long-term relationship between variables and individual (specific to each EU member country) coefficients on short-term relationships. …”
