• Osteoprotegerin and Cardiovascular Events in High-Risk Populations: Meta-Analysis of 19 Prospective Studies Involving 27450 Participants 

  Tschiderer, Lena; Klingenschmid, Gerhard; Nagrani, Rajini; Willeit, Johann; Laukkanen, Jari; Schett, Georg; Kiechl, Stefan; Willeit, Peter (American Heart Association; Wiley, 2018)

  Background Osteoprotegerin is a cytokine involved in bone metabolism as well as vascular calcification and atherogenesis. Although circulating osteoprotegerin levels are robustly associated with incident cardiovascular ...

• Physical fitness, hormonal, and immunological responses during prolonged military field training 

  Ojanen, Tommi; Jalanko, Petri; Kyröläinen, Heikki (Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of the American Physiological Society and the Physiological Society, 2018)

  Physical fitness is crucial to warfighters’ performance in the battlefield. Previous studies have shown negative changes in their hormonal and neuromuscular responses induced by military field training (MFT). The purpose ...

• Immediate effects of wearing knee length socks differing in compression level on postural regulation in community-dwelling, healthy, elderly men and women 

  Woo, Mei Teng; Davids, Keith; Liukkonen, Jarmo; Chow, Jia Yi; Jaakkola, Timo (Elsevier BV, 2018)
