• MRSA-halsbærerskap hos to helsearbeidere 

  Evenstad, Berit; Halvorsen, Dag Seeger; Myrbakk, Torni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-02-14)

  Helsearbeidere med påvist bærerskap av meticillinresistente Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) opplever ofte negative konsekvenser, slik som arbeidsrestriksjoner, langvarige sykmeldinger, repeterte saneringsforsøk, stigmatisering og psykososialt stress. Vi omtaler to studenter som etter flere mislykkede saneringsforsøk fikk utført tonsillektomi for å kvitte seg med halsbærerskap.

  Mapping Potential Timing of Ice Algal Blooms From Satellite 

  Stroeve, J.C.; Veyssiere, G.; Nab, C.; Light, B.; Perovich, D.; Laliberté, J.; Campbell, Karley Lynn; Landy, Jack Christopher; Mallett, Robbie David Christopher; Barrett, A; Liston, G.E.; Haddon, A.; Wilkinson, J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-04-17)

  As Arctic sea ice and its overlying snow cover thin, more light penetrates into the ice and upper ocean, shifting the phenology of algal growth within the bottom of sea ice, with cascading impacts on higher trophic levels of the Arctic marine ecosystem. While field data or autonomous observatories provide direct measurements of the coupled sea ice-algal system, they are limited in space and time. ...

  Revisiting Unsinkable Ships: From Titanic to Helge Ingstad, the Long-Standing Issues and Persistent Risks of Ship Disasters 

  Johansen, Kåre; Gudmestad, Ove Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-03)

  The objective of this paper is to take a closer look at the theory of damage stability, i.e., origin, construction, organization and human developments, regulations, and in this context pinpoint a possible causal relationship between two specific ship losses: the losses of RMS Titanic and KNM Helge Ingstad. The paper does not discuss direct causes but rather tries to discuss possible causal links ...

  Mechanical Properties of MiniBars™ Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Composites 

  Furtos, Gabriel; Prodan, Doina; Sarosi, Codruta; Moldovan, Marioara; Korniejenko, Kinga; Miller, Leonard; Fiala, Lukáš; Novakova, Iveta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-01-02)

  Fly ash-based geopolymers represent a new material, which can be considered an alternative to ordinary Portland cement. MiniBars™ are basalt fiber composites, and they were used to reinforce the geopolymer matrix for the creation of unidirectional MiniBars™ reinforced geopolymer composites (MiniBars™ FRBCs). New materials were obtained by incorporating variable amount of MiniBars™ (0, 12.5, 25, 50, ...

  Chemokine ligand 18 predicts all-cause mortality in patients hospitalized with chest pain of suspected coronary origin 

  Nilsen, Dennis WT; Aarsetoey, Reidun; Poenitz, Volker; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Andersen, Trygve Brugger; Staines, Harry; Grundt, Magnea Heidi Jonsdottir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-04-03)

  <p><i>Introduction</i> Chemokines mediate recruitment and activation of leucocytes. Chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18) is mainly expressed by monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells. It is highly expressed in chronic inflammatory diseases, and locally in atherosclerotic plaques, particularly at sites of reduced stability, and systemically in acute coronary syndrome patients. Reports on its prognostic ...
