SNP heterozygosity, relatedness and inbreeding of whole genomes from the isolated population of the Faroe Islands.

Background: The population of the Faroe Islands is an isolated population but very little is known about it from whole genome sequencing. The population of about 50000 people has a high incidence of rare diseases e.g.

Mid-term outcomes after single anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass in treatment of morbid obesity.

Background: According to several short-term studies, single-anastomosis sleeve ileal (SASI) bypass offers similar weight loss to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) with fewer complication and better comorbidity reduction/resolution. Long-term data on this operation is lacking in the literature. The purpose of this study was to analyze the outcomes of SASI bypass up to 4 years.

Controlled Electronic and Magnetic Landscape in Self-Assembled Complex Oxide Heterostructures.

Complex oxide heterointerfaces contain a rich playground of novel physical properties and functionalities, which give rise to emerging technologies. Among designing and controlling the functional properties of complex oxide film heterostructures, vertically aligned nanostructure (VAN) films using a self-assembling bottom-up deposition method presents great promise in terms of structural flexibility and property tunability. Here, the bottom-up self-assembly is extended to a new approach using a mixture containing a 2Dlayer-by-layer film growth, followed by a 3D VAN film growth.

High preoperative HbA1c does not affect early or late complication rates after bariatric surgery.

Background: Preoperative HbA1c has been associated with an increased incidence of postoperative morbidity and mortality after abdominal and cardiovascular surgery. The literature on bariatric surgery is inconclusive and guidelines recommend postponement of surgery when HbA1c is above an arbitrary threshold (≥ 8.5%).

Atlantic herring () population structure in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean.

The Atlantic herring L has a vast geographical distribution and a complex population structure with a few very large migratory units and many small local populations. Each population has its own spawning ground and/or time, thereby maintaining their genetic integrity. Several herring populations migrate between common feeding grounds and over-wintering areas resulting in frequent mixing of populations.
