    • Dietary fat intake and gestational weight gain in relation to estradiol and progesterone plasma levels during pregnancy : a longitudinal study in Swedish women 

      Weiderpass, Elisabete; Lof, Marie; Hilakivi-Clarke, Leena; Sandin, Sven S.; de Assis, Sonia; Yu, Wei (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-04-30)
      Background: Elevated pregnancy hormone levels, such as oestrogen and progesterone, may increase the risk of developing breast cancer both in mothers and offspring. However, the reasons for large inter-individual variations in estrogen and progesterone levels during pregnancy remain unknown. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether a) intakes of total dietary fat, types of fat ...

      Canzian, Federico; Lund, Eiliv; Kaaks, Rudolf; Cox, David G.; Henderson, Katherine D.; Henderson, Brian E.; Berg, Christine; Bingham, Sheila; Boeing, Heiner; Buring, Julie; Calle, Eugenia E.; Chanock, Stephen; Clavel-Chapelon, Francoise; Dossus, Laure; Feigelson, Heather Spencer; Haiman, Christopher A.; Hankinson, Susan E.; Hoover, Robert; Hunter, David J.; Isaacs, Claudine; Lenner, Per; Overvad, Kim; Palli, Domenico; Pearce, Celeste Leigh; Quiros, Jose R.; Riboli, Elio; Stram, Daniel O.; Thomas, Gilles; Thun, Michael J.; Trichopoulos, Dimitrios; van Gils, Carla H.; Ziegler, Regina G. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-07-29)
      Background: Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH1) triggers the release of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone from the pituitary. Genetic variants in the gene encoding GNRH1 or its receptor may influence breast cancer risk by modulating production of ovarian steroid hormones. We studied the association between breast cancer risk and polymorphisms in genes that code for GNRH1 ...

    • Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; use, training and self-confidence in skills : a self-report study among hospital personnel 

      Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-12-16)
      Background: Immediate start of basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and early defibrillation have been highlighted as crucial for survival from cardiac arrest, but despite new knowledge, new technology and massive personnel training the survival rates from in-hospital cardiac arrest are still low. National guidelines recommend regular intervals of CPR training to make all hospital personnel ...

    • Socioeconomic differences in cancer survival : the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Braaten, Tonje; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-06-08)
      Background: Cancer survival has been observed to be poorer in low socioeconomic groups, but the knowledge about the underlying causal factors is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine how cancer survival varies by socioeconomic status (SES) among women in Norway, and to identify factors that explain this variation. SES was measured by years of education and gross household income, ...

    • Design and validity of a questionnaire to assess sexuality in pregnant women 

      Rudge, Cibele V. C.; Calderon, Iracema M. P.; Odland, Jon Øyvind; Dias, Adriano; Lopes, Gerson P.; Rudge, Marilza V. C.; Barbosa, Angélica P.; Maestá, Izildinha (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-07-29)
      Background: A review of validated methods for assessing female sexual dysfunction and a review of male and female sexual dysfunction did not refer to any specific questionnaire for evaluating sexuality during pregnancy. A study was performed at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Botucatu Medical School, São Paulo State University, Brazil to design and validate a pregnancy sexuality ...

    • Fetal size in the second trimester is associated with the duration of pregnancy, small fetuses having longer pregnancies 

      Wilsgaard, Tom; Johnsen, Synnøve L.; Rasmussen, Svein; Hanson, Mark A.; Godfrey, Keith M.; Kiserud, Torvid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-07-16)
      Background: Conventionally, the pregnancy duration is accepted to be 280–282 days. Fetuses determined by ultrasound biometry to be small in early pregnancy, have an increased risk of premature birth. We speculate that the higher rate of preterm delivery in such small fetuses represents a pathological outcome not applicable to physiological pregnancies. Here we test the hypothesis that in ...

      Background: Estrogen is an established endometrial carcinogen. One of the most important mediators of estrogenic action is the estrogen receptor alpha. We have investigated whether polymorphic variation in the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) is associated with endometrial cancer risk. <br> Methods: In 702 cases with invasive endometrial cancer and 1563 controls, we genotyped five markers ...

    • Hormone replacement therapy use and plasma levels of sex hormones in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Postgenome Cohort : a cross-sectional analysis 

      Waaseth, Marit; Bakken, Kjersti; Dumeaux, Vanessa; Olsen, Karina Standahl; Rylander, Charlotta; Figenschaug, Yngve; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-14)
      Background: Hormone replacement therapy use (HRT) is associated with increased breast cancer risk. Our primary objective was to explore hormone levels in plasma according to HRT use, body mass index (BMI) and menopausal status. A secondary objective was to validate self-reported questionnaire information on menstruation and HRT use in the Norwegian Women and Cancer postgenome cohort (NOWAC). Methods: ...

    • Gene expression analyses in breast cancer epidemiology: the Norwegian Women and Cancer postgenome cohort study 

      Dumeaux, Vanessa; Børresen-Dale, Anne-Lise; Kristensen, Vessela N.; Frantzen, Jan-Ole; Kumle, Merethe; Lund, Eiliv (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-13)
      Introduction: The introduction of high-throughput technologies, also called -omics technologies, into epidemiology has raised the need for high-quality observational studies to reduce several sources of error and bias. Methods: The Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) postgenome cohort study consists of approximately 50,000 women born between 1943 and 1957 who gave blood samples between 2003 ...

    • Aspects of statin prescribing in Norwegian counties with high, average and low statin consumption : an individual-level prescription database study

      Background: A previous study has shown that variations in threshold and intensity (lipid goal attainment) of statins for primary prevention contribute to regional differences in overall consumption of statins in Norway. Our objective was to explore how differences in prevalences of use, dosing characteristics, choice of statin and continuity of therapy in individual patients adds new information ...

    • Assessing medical students' attitudes towards learning communication skills : which components of attitudes do we measure? 

      Anvik, Tor; Gude, Tore; Bærheim, Anders; Risberg, Terje; Fasmer, Ole B.; Hjortdahl, Per; Holen, Are; Vaglum, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-03-30)
      Background: The Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS) created by Rees, Sheard and Davies and published in 2002 has been a widely used instrument for measuring medical students' attitudes towards learning communication skills. Earlier studies have shown that the CSAS mainly tests two dimensions of attitudes towards communication; positive attitudes (PAS) and negative attitudes (NAS). The ...

      Background: Several countries are discussing new legislation on the ban of smoking in public places, and on the acceptable levels of traffic-related air pollutants. It is therefore useful to estimate the burden of disease associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution. Methods: We have estimated exposure to Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and to air pollution in never smokers and ex-smokers ...

    • Curriculum factors influencing knowledge of communication skills among medical students 

      Bærheim, Anders; Anvik, Tor; Risberg, Terje; Hjortdahl, Per; Holen, Are; Fasmer, Ole Bernt; Grimstad, Hilde; Gude, Tore; Vaglum, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-10)
      Background: Communication training builds on the assumption that understanding of the concepts related to professional communication facilitates the training. We know little about whether students' knowledge of clinical communication skills is affected by their attendance of communication training courses, or to what degree other elements of the clinical training or curriculum design also play a ...
