  Opstad, Ida Sundvor; Popova, Daria; Acharya, Ganesh; Basnet, Purusotam; Ahluwalia, Balpreet Singh (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-05)

  Structural details of spermatozoa are interesting from the perspectives of fundamental biology and growing reproductive health problems. Studies of nanostructural details of these extremely motile cells have been limited to fixed cells, largely using electron microscopy. Here we provide the protocols for and demonstrate live-cell multi-color super-resolution imaging of human spermatozoa using ...

  Teamwork in primary palliative care: general practitioners’ and specialised oncology nurses’ complementary competencies 

  Johansen, May-Lill; Ervik, Bente (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-02-21)

  <p><i>Background</i>: Generalists such as general practitioners and district nurses have been the main actors in community palliative care in Norway. Specialised oncology nurses with postgraduate palliative training are increasingly becoming involved. There is little research on their contribution. This study explores how general practitioners (GPs) and oncology nurses (ONs) experience their ...

  Patterns of detectable viraemia among children and adults with HIV infection taking antiretroviral therapy in Zimbabwe 

  Sovershaeva, Evgeniya; Shamu, Tinei; Wilsgaard, Tom; Bandason, Tsitsi; Flægstad, Trond; Katzenstein, David; Ferrand, Rashida A.; Odland, Jon Øyvind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-31)

  <i>Objective</i>: To investigate the incidence and predictors of viraemia among individuals on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Harare, Zimbabwe.<p> <p><i>Methods</i>: Children (0–19 years) and adults (>19 years) starting ART between 2013 and 2015 were followed for a median of 2.8 and 2.7 years, respectively. The incidence rates of virological failure (VF), low-level viraemia (LLV), and viral ...

  Functional roles and redundancy of demersal Barents Sea fish: Ecological implications of environmental change 

  Aune, Magnus; Aschan, Michaela; Greenacre, Michael; Dolgov, Andrey V.; Fossheim, Maria; Primicerio, Raul (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-21)

  When facing environmental change and intensified anthropogenic impact on marine ecosystems, extensive knowledge of how these systems are functioning is required in order to manage them properly. However, in high-latitude ecosystems, where climate change is expected to have substantial ecological impact, the ecosystem functions of biological species have received little attention, partly due to the ...

  External damage to trawl-caught Northeast arctic cod (Gadus morhua): Effect of codend design 

  Tveit, Guro Møen; Sistiaga, Manu Berrondo; Herrmann, Bent; Brinkhof, Jesse (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-22)

  The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of external damage (gear marks, pressure injuries, ecchymosis and skin abrasion) present on trawl-caught cod (Gadus morhua) and to examine whether the extent of damage could be reduced by introducing changes in the gear. We tested whether changing the 2-panel knotted codend used by the Norwegian trawler fleet operating in the Barents Sea today ...
