    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis VII. Ringeklokkesymptomer, ringeklokkedata og fallgruver. Nyttige varslere i almenpraktikerens kreftdiagnostiske arbeid? 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1984)
      Her presenteres lister over «ringeklokkesymptomer», «ringeklokkedata» og «fallgruver» i praktisk kreftdiagnostikk. Listene er ment å være forslag til en utdypet og forbedret legerettet versjon av de publikumsrettede kreftens syv faresignaler. <br>Forekomst av disse diagnostiske data er registrert ved journalgjennomgang for 65 kreftpasienter. Forekomst av ringeklokkesymptomer er også registrert hos ...

    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis VI. Innholdet i kreftfaresignalene. Er "varige smerter" aktuelt som faresignal? 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1984)
      Antallet og innholdet i kreftfaresignalene er blitt endret flere ganger siden de ble introdusert i USA under første verdenskrig. Faresignalene er forsøkt utformet slik at de hjelper mennesker med kreft til raskest mulig å søke lege, uten å skape unødig angst i befolkningen og øke "trivialitets"-belastningen i helsevesenet. <br> Her diskuteres denne målsetningen, og jeg undersøker nærmere ...

    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis V. Pasienter med og uten kreft. Hvem søker lege for kreftens syv faresignaler? 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1984)
      Almenpraktiker- og sykehusjournaler til 65 kreftpasienter og 65 kjønns- og aldersmessig like kontrollpasienter ble gjennomgått for å registrere forekomst av kreftens syv faresignaler. For kreftpasientene ble kun faresignaler som opptrådte før diagnose, registrert. og disse ble klassifisert som «tidlig» eller «sent» opptredende etter nærmere definisjoner. <br> Hos 66 % av kreftpasientene forekom ...

    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis IV. Intervjuregistrering av kreftfaresignaler. Pasienter i almenpraksis og befolkningen 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1984)
      Opplysning om kreftens syv faresignaler (tab 1) er rettet mot publikum. Informasjonen tar sikte på å få mennesker som opplever symptomer som passer med faresignalene, til å søke lege snarest mulig. Dør-til-dør-intervju med 299 personer i Tromsø viste at 74 (25 %) anga å ha opplevd faresignalsymptomer de siste tre månedene. Omtrent halvparten av de 74 hadde kontaktet lege av denne grunn. ...

    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis III. Almenpraktikeres registrering av kreftfaresignaler hos pasienter 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1984)
      Almenpraktikere i Tromsø registrerte i tiden 1/10 1981-31/3 1982 forekomsten av symptomer som samsvarer med kreftens syv faresignaler hos sine pasienter. Faresignal ble registrert ved 5,4 % av konsultasjonene. Forekomst av faresignaler pr. 1 000 konsultasjoner presenteres sammen med alders- og kjønnsfordeling.

    • Kreftdiagnostikk i almenpraksis I. Kan diagnosen stilles tidligere? 

      Holtedahl, Knut A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1980)
      108 pasienter ble i 1976 meldt til Kreftregisteret fra Tromsø kommune. Almenpraktiker- og sykehusjournaler for disse pasientene er gjennomgått og vurdert med tanke på hvor raskt kreftsykdommen ble diagnostisert.<br> Tre fjerdedeler av pasientene kunne ut fra en etterpåklok vurderlng fått stilt diagnosen tidligere. Halvparten av alle kom sent til lege, og for halvparten kunne almenpraktikere eller ...

    • Cortical porosity, medullary adiposity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, serum vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and nonvertebral fractures 

      Osima, Marit (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-03-28)
      Despite advances in therapies, assessment of fracture risk, and diagnosis of bone fragility, few women and men with high fracture risk receive treatment, even after they develop fracture. To be able to recognize and identify subjects who are at risk for fragility fracture, and to target treatment well, it is important to search for risk factors that are associated with, or ideally, predict fracture. ...

    • Serum parathyroid hormone is associated with increased cortical porosity of the inner transitional zone at the proximal femur in postmenopausal women: the Tromsø Study 

      Osima, Marit; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Lukic, Marko; Grimnes, Guri; Joakimsen, Ragnar Martin; Eriksen, Erik Fink; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-14)
      Summary:<br> Serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) was associated with increased bone turnover markers and cortical porosity of the inner transitional zone at the proximal femur. These results suggest that PTH through increased intracortical bone turnover leads to trabecularisation of inner cortical bone in postmenopausal women. <p> Introduction: <br> Vitamin D deficiency leads to secondary ...

    • Unrecognized Myocardial Infarction. Pain tolerance, prognosis and pathogenesis in men and women 

      Øhrn, Andrea Sofie Henriette Milde (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-03-22)
      Mange gjennomgår et hjerteinfarkt uten å vite at det har skjedd, dette kalles stumme hjerteinfarkt. Det er ikke kjent hvorfor noen rammes av stumme hjerteinfarkt, mens andre opplever brystsmerter og tar kontakt med lege. I Tromsøundersøkelsens 6.runde ble 6,199 personer undersøkt med EKG, der man kan se om en person har gjennomgått et hjerteinfarkt. I tillegg ble det samlet inn data på smertefølsomhet ...

    • More diagnostic indexes from general practice for some important forms of cancer 

      Holtedahl, Knut Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 1990)
      A method of calculating positive predictive values (PPVs) and likelihood ralios (LRs) on the basis of Bayesian probabilities has been described previously. In the present article the method is applied to a sore which does not heal in relation to skin cancer, a lump in the breast in relation to female breast cancer, genital bleeding in relation to internal genital cancer in fernales and ...

    • 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 ...

    • Age at menarche. The reproducibility of self-reported menarcheal age and the association between age at menarche and total- and cardiovascular mortality - The Tromsø Study 

      Lundblad, Marie Wasmuth (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-03-22)
      Background: The possible relationships between age at menarche and total as well as cardiovascular mortality has been investigated, but has not been established. Aim: The first aim was to investigate the reproducibility of self-reported menarcheal age from 1986-1987 (Tromsø 3) to 1994-1995 (Tromsø 4). The second aim was to examine the association between age at menarche and cardiovascular- or ...
