  A case control study of the relationship between persistent serum creatine kinase elevation and polyneuropathy 

  Bekkelund, Svein Ivar; Abeler, Karin Louise; Lilleng, Hallvard; Løseth, Sissel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-15)

  Creatine kinase (CK) has been associated with neuropathy, but the mechanisms are uncertain. We hypothesized that peripheral nerve function is impaired in subjects with persistent CK elevation (hyperCKemia) compared to age- and sex matched controls in a general population. The participants were recruited from the population based Tromsø study in Norway. Neuropathy impairment score (NIS), nerve ...

  Activity-based protein profiling of serine hydrolases and penicillin-binding proteins in Enterococcus faecium 

  Grunnvåg, Jeanette Slettnes; Hegstad, Kristin; Lentz, Christian Stephan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-15)

  Enterococcus faecium is a gut commensal bacterium which is gaining increasing relevance as an opportunistic, nosocomial pathogen. Its high level of intrinsic and acquired antimicrobial resistance is causing a lack of treatment options, particularly for infections with vancomycin-resistant strains, and prioritizes the identification and functional validation of novel druggable targets. Here, we ...

  Ice-free period too long for Southern and Western Hudson Bay polar bear populations if global warming exceeds 1.6 to 2.6 °C 

  Stroeve, Julienne; Crawford, Alex; Ferguson, Steve; Stirling, Ian; Archer, Louise; York, Geoffrey; Babb, David; Mallett, Robbie David Christopher (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-13)

  Hudson Bay has warmed over 1 °C in the last 30 years. Coincident with this warming, seasonal patterns have shifted, with the spring sea ice melting earlier and the fall freeze-up occurring later, leading to a month longer of ice-free conditions. This extended ice-free period presents a significant challenge for polar bears, as it restricts their hunting opportunities for seals and their ability ...

  Exploring the impact of pharmacist-supported medication reviews in dementia care: experiences of general practitioners and nurses 

  Carlqvist, Catharina; Ekstedt, Mirjam; Lehnbom, Elin Christina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-14)

  Background Dementia is a major global public health challenge, and with the growing elderly population, its prevalence is expected to increase in the coming years. In Sweden, municipalities are responsible for providing special housing for the elderly (SÄBO), which offers services and care for older individuals needing specific support. SÄBO is both the person´s home and a care environment and ...

  The effect of sham acupuncture can differ depending on the points needled in knee osteoarthritis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis 

  Lee, Boram; Kwon, Chan-Young; Lee, Hye Won; Nielsen, Arya; Wieland, L Susan; Kim, Tae-Hun; Birch, Stephen; Alræk, Terje; Lee, Myeong Soo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-07)

  Objective: In sham acupuncture-controlled acupuncture clinical trials, although sham acupuncture techniques are different from those of verum acupuncture, the same acupuncture points are often used for verum and sham acupuncture, raising the question of whether sham acupuncture is an appropriate placebo. We aimed to examine the effects of sham and verum acupuncture according to the points ...
