    • Mental distress in subjects who did, or did not, move from rural Sami core areas to cities in Norway: The impact of Sami ethnicity 

      Eriksen, Astrid; Melhus, Marita; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-12)
      The aim of the study was to compare the level of mental distress of Sami and non-Sami residents in rural Sami core areas with that of people who have moved from these areas to cities in Norway. Previous research on mental health among the adult Sami population has mainly been conducted in rural areas, and there is a knowledge gap concerning the mental health of urban Sami. This study has a ...

      Adlard, Bryan; Lemire, Mélanie; Bonefeld-Jørgensen, Eva Cecilie; Long, Manhai; Ólafsdóttir, Kristín; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Rautio, Arja; Myllynen, Päivi; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Dudarev, Alexey A.; Bergdahl, Ingvar A.; Wennberg, Maria; Berner, James; Ayotte, Pierre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-03)
      Exposure to mercury (Hg) is a global concern, particularly among Arctic populations that rely on the consumption of marine mammals and fish which are the main route of Hg exposure for Arctic populations.The MercuNorth project was created to establish baseline Hg levels across several Arctic regions during the period preceding the Minamata Convention. Blood samples were collected from 669 pregnant ...

    • The MeSH heading "Call Center" is due for an update: Why we recommend the more precise heading "Emergency Medical Communication Center" 

      Harring, Astrid Karina V.; Blinkenberg, Jesper; Brattebø, Guttorm; Hjortdahl, Magnus; Idland, Siri; Iversen, Emil; Leonardsen, Ann-Chatrin Linqvist; Zakariassen, Erik; Jørgensen, Trine Møgster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-04)
      Call centers can be found in various industries. However as a Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) the term “Call centers” does not reflect the critical purpose of handling emergency calls. We recommend “emergency medical communication center(s)”, as this provides clarity and precision regarding the primary function and purpose of the center.

      A large fraction of genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is still not identified, limiting the understanding of AD pathology and study of therapeutic targets. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of AD cases and controls of European descent from the multi-center DemGene network across Norway and two independent European cohorts. In a two-stage process, we first performed ...

    • A method for sensitivity analysis to assess the effects of measurement error in multiple exposure variables using external validation data 

      Agogo, George O.; van der Voet, Hilko; Van 'T Veer, Pieter; Ferrari, Pietro; Muller, David; Sánchez-Cantalejo, Emilio; Bamia, Christina; Braaten, Tonje; Knüppel, Sven; Johansson, Ingegerd; Van Eeuwijk, Fred A.; Boshuizen, Hendriek C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-13)
      Background:<br>Measurement error in self-reported dietary intakes is known to bias the association between dietary intake and a health outcome of interest such as risk of a disease. The association can be distorted further by mismeasured confounders, leading to invalid results and conclusions. It is, however, difficult to adjust for the bias in the association when there is no internal validation ...

    • A method of calculating diagnostic indexes for possible cancer symptoms in general practice 

      Holtedahl, Knut Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1990)
      Most medical encounters start with the presentation of symptomns that lead to hypotheses about the diagnosis. It might be useful to know the probability of a disease when a symptom of it is presented in a consulation with a general practitioner, i.e., the positive predictive value (PPV) of a particular symptom in relation to a disease. A diagnostic index of this kind would need to be based ...

      According to World Cancer Research Fund International/American Institute for Cancer Research, it is ‘probable’ that dairy products decrease the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, meta-analyses restricted to women have not shown associations between milk intake and risk of CRC. The aim of this study was to examine the association between milk intake and risk of CRC, colon cancer and rectal ...

    • Mind the Gap! Lay and Medical Perceptions of Risks Associated with the Use of Alternative Treatment and Conventional Medicine 

      Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-19)
      Studies of the widespread use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) demonstrate that CAM users relate to both subjective, experience-based knowledge and medical knowledge in treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to explore lay and medical risk perceptions associated with CAM and conventional medicine.<br> <b>Patients and Methods</b> Twenty-five Norwegian users of CAM who ...
