• The productivity gain by preventing first and subsequent hip fractures in osteoporotic patients as a result of optimal treatment 

    Aamodt, Martin Arvin (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-11)
    Background: Preventing hip fractures could prevent patient disability and premature death, and lead to substantial societal savings in terms of productivity gains. However, the Norwegian government has decided against emphasizing productivity gains in prioritization decisions for financing pharmaceutical drugs. The question, however, remains whether including productivity gains could lead to better ...
  • Medicine articles on English Wikipedia: Quantifying the presence of pharmaceutical industry edits and analyzing their content. 

    Jadgal, Asia (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-11)
    Today, Wikipedia has developed into a prominent source for health queries to the vast public. Over the years, some studies have been performed to understand what the webpage can and cannot offer. However, the current literature lacks knowledge of how the pharmaceutical industry is present in Wikipedia’s medicine articles. The immediate objective of this research was to quantify the presence of ...
  • Development of DNA Nanoparticles with Properties for Enhanced Biofilm Uptake 

    Borøy, Vegard (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-11)
    Microbial biofilms account for up to 80% of all bacterial infections. They are described as small structural communities of bacteria which are embedded in a self-produced extracellular (EPS) matrix. This EPS matrix poses a substantial challenge for antimicrobial treatment by hindering traversal of antimicrobial agents. Nanotechnology based drug delivery systems (DDS) offer a promising solution ...
  • Habitat segregation by sympatric juvenile Arctic charr and brown trout in shallow lake areas: a consequence of interspecifc diferences in predator avoidance? 

    Svenning, Martin; Stien, Audun; Borgstrøm, Reidar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-06)
    In sympatry, juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) usually occupy the shallow and most productive areas (littoral zone) of lakes, while juveniles of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) are found in deeper, less productive parts. In contrast, when Arctic charr juveniles occur in allopatry, they often occupy shallow littoral areas as well. Habitat segregation has traditionally been interpreted as a trade-of ...
  • Barriers to physical activity participation for adults with intellectual disability: A cross-sectional study 

    Michalsen, Henriette; Henriksen, André; Hartvigsen, Gunnar; Olsen, Monica Isabel Benedikte; Pedersen, Erlend Refseth; Søndenaa, Erik; Jahnsen, Reidun Birgitta; Anke, Audny Gabriele Wagner (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-08)
    Background - Identifying barriers that can be modified to promote physical activity is important for informing health interventions for adults with intellectual disabilities.<p> <p>Objectives - Exploring participation in physical activity considering age, sex, living conditions, and health conditions. Further, identifying barriers significantly associated with sedentary activity after adjustment ...
