      The knowledge about why hip fracture rates in Norway have declined is sparse. Concurrent with decreasing hip fracture rates, the rates of total hip replacements (THRs) have increased. We wanted to investigate if hip fracture rates continued to decline, and whether the increase in THRs had any influence on this decline, assuming that living with a hip prosthesis precludes fracture of the operated ...

      Hertzum, Morten; Randell, Rebecca; Ellingsen, Gunnar Adelsten; Grisot, Miria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Learning is inherently social. This raises several questions that relate to how contexts and spaces can mediate co-creative learning. In this workshop proposal, we refer to the interrelated aspects of space, learning, and embodiment and how these aspects mediate the human-robot interaction. Our assumption is that robots are interpreted variously and used in different ways. We are interested in the ...

      Blix, Bodil Hansen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      In this essay, I consider the limitations and possibilities of narrative gerontology. I reflect upon narrative gerontology’s fundamental dependence on people’s narrative willingness. I discuss both the reasons that stories remain untold and the reasons they remain unheard. Furthermore, I suggest that narrative gerontology would benefit from a stronger focus on the act and context of storytelling ...

    • Improved Cardiac Metabolism Following in Vivo Treatment of Type 2 Diabetic Mice with Fenofibrate Depends on Reduction of Plasma Lipids, as Well as Glucose 

      Severson, David L.; Khalid, Ahmed Murtaz; Aasum, Ellen; Hafstad, Anne D.; Lund, Trine; Larsen, Terje S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2009-01-16)
      The plasma supply of energy substrates plays a key role in determining the cardiac metabolic phenotype. In diabetes, a high plasma supply of fatty acids (FA) leads to a predominant oxidation of FA for energy production, while glucose oxidation is markedly suppressed. The db/db mouse is a well accepted model of type 2 diabetes, showing hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia. Hearts from ...
