    • Omsorg for den samfunnsnyttige kroppen 

      Boge, Jeanne; Kristoffersen, Kjell; Martinsen, Kari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Den franske filosofen Michel Foucault argumenterte for at ein har styrt moderne samfunn ved hjelp av samankoplingar mellom kroppslege praksisar og vitskap. Denne styringsforma kalla han disiplinering. I denne artikkelen argumenterer me for at den politiske argumentasjonen i siste halvdel av 1800-talet og starten av 1900-talet, om å legge om frå folkeleg til borgarleg reinsemd, kan ha vore ein lekk ...

    • Pasientrapportert tilfredshet og livskvalitet etter ulike kirurgiske inngrep ved brystkreft 

      Sjåvik, Anniken (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2018-09-20)
      Bakgrunn: Primær behandling ved brystkreft er kirurgi. Kirurgiske alternativer ved brystkreft er mastektomi, lumpektomi, mastektomi med primær brystrekonstruksjon (MPR) eller mastektomi med sekundær rekonstruksjon (MSR). For de fleste brystkreftpasienter vil det være flere aktuelle kirurgiske metoder. Kunnskap om postoperativ livskvalitet, tilfredshet og komplikasjoner vil da kunne være veiledende ...

    • Plasma complement and vascular complement deposition in patients with coronary artery disease with and without inflammatory rheumatic diseases 

      Shields, Kelly J.; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Eidet, Jon Roger; Mikkelsen, Knut; Almdahl, Sven Martin; Bottazzi, Barbara; Lyberg, Torstein; Manzi, Susan; Ahearn, Joseph M; Hollan, Ivana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-31)
      Purpose: <br> Inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) are associated with accelerated coronary artery disease (CAD), which may result from both systemic and vascular wall inflammation. There are indications that complement may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAD in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). This study aimed to evaluate the associations between circulating ...

    • Promoting Professional Development in Medical education: perspectives from the Norwegian Medical School in Tromsoe 

      Hovdenak, Sylvi Stenersen; Wiese, Eline F. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-16)
      In international research on medical education the concepts of professionalism and professional development have been increasingly focused. The article problematizes and discusses these concepts in relation to the Aristotelian concepts of episteme, techne and phronesis. Phronesis as a form of knowledge is of fundamental importance regarding professionalism and professional development, and can be ...

    • Safe Surgery Checklist, Patient Safety, teamwork, and Responsibility - Coequal Demands? A Focus Group Study 

      Willassen, Elin Thove; Smith Jacobsen, Inger Lise; Tveiten, Sidsel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-28)
      The use of World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Safe Surgery checklist is an established practice worldwide and contributes toward ensuring patient safety and collaborative teamwork. The aim of this study was to elucidate operating room nurses’ and operating room nursing students’ experiences and opinions about execution of and compliance with checklists. We chose a qualitative design with semistructured ...

    • Springboard to an academic career—A national medical student research program 

      Jacobsen, Geir Wenberg; Ræder, Helge; Stien, Marianne Heldal; Munthe, Ludvig Andre; Skogen, Vegard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-30)
      Over the last decades there has been a decline in the recruitment of medical students into academia in all medical fields. Concurrently, medical research has increasingly included other disciplines in multidisciplinary convergence, introducing an unmet recruitment gap and requirement for medical researchers. To counteract the trend and recruit students to academic medicine, a national intercalated ...

    • Total and cause-specific standardized mortality ratios in patients with schizophrenia and/or substance use disorder 

      Heiberg, Ina Heidi; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Nesvåg, Ragnar; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Reichborn-Kjennerud, Ted; Næss, Øyvind; Ystrøm, Eivind; Hultman, Christina M; Høye, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-23)
      Individuals with schizophrenia or substance use disorder have a substantially increased mortality compared to the general population. Despite a high and probably increasing prevalence of comorbid substance use disorder in people with schizophrenia, the mortality in the comorbid group has been less studied and with contrasting results. We performed a nationwide open cohort study from 2009 to 2015, ...

    • “What matters to you?” A longitudinal qualitative study of Norwegian patients’ perspectives on their pathways with colorectal cancer 

      Hansen, Frank; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-12)
      <p><i>Purpose</i>: Person-centred care (PCC) is a well-acknowledged goal throughout the western world both within the health care services sector and for the patients themselves. To be able to create a future health care system that includes improved PCC, we need more in-depth knowledge of what matters to patients, how “what matters” might change over time, and tentative descriptions of commonalities ...

    • Wnt5a is associated with right ventricular dysfunction and adverse outcome in dilated cardiomyopathy 

      Abraityte, Aurelija; Lunde, Ida Gjervold; Askevold, Erik Tandberg; Michelsen, Annika E.; Christensen, Geir Arve; Aukrust, Pål; Yndestad, Arne; Fiane, Arnt; Andreassen, Arne; Aakhus, Svend; Dahl, Christen Peder; Gullestad, Lars; Broch, Kaspar; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-14)
      The Wingless (Wnt) pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To explore the role of Wnt modulators Wnt5a and sFRP3 in DCM patients we analyzed the expression of Wnt5a and sFRP3 in plasma and myocardium of DCM patients and evaluated their effects on NFAT luciferase activity in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes. Elevated circulating Wnt5a (n = 102) was associated ...
