Eldre sitt forhold til elektronisk medisineringsstøtte
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-04)Det blir stadig flere eldre i Norge og om få år vil det være færre yrkesaktive per eldre. Og når levealderen øker lever en også lengre med sykdom. Nasjonale føringer ber kommunene satse på blant annet elektronisk medisineringsstøtte for å hjelpe med utfordringen det medfører. Hensikten med studien er å undersøke hvordan hjemmeboende eldre opplever å bruke en velferdsteknologisk løsning for ... -

Electrohypersensitivity is always real
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-01)Given the rapid increase of electromagnetic fields in our environment, the recent review paper by Belpomme and Irigaray (2022) (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2022.113374) is timely in trying to integrate and discuss the available evidence to understand electrohypersensitivity (EHS), also called idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF) or symptoms associated ... -
Electronic cigarettes and health with special focus on cardiovascular effects: position paper of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-17)Background - Tobacco use is the single largest preventable risk factor for premature death of non-communicable diseases and the second leading cause of cardiovascular disease. In response to the harmful effects of tobacco smoking, the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) has emerged and gained significant popularity over the past 15 years. E-cigarettes are promoted as safe alternatives for ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-05)<p><i>Background:</i> Electronic health (eHealth) services may help people obtain information and manage their health, and they are gaining attention as technology improves, and as traditional health services are placed under increasing strain. We present findings from the first representative, large-scale, population-based study of eHealth use in Norway. <p><i>Objective:</i> The objectives of ... -
Electronic Symptom Reporting Between Patient and Provider for Improved Health Care Service Quality: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials. Part 1: State of the Art
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Over the last two decades, the number of studies on electronic symptom reporting has increased greatly. However, the field is very heterogeneous: the choices of patient groups, health service innovations, and research targets seem to involve a broad range of foci. To move the field forward, it is necessary to build on work that has been done and direct further research to the areas holding ... -
Electronic Symptom Reporting Between Patient and Provider for Improved Health Care Service Quality: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials. Part 2: Methodological Quality and Effects

Både data hentet fra EPJ-systemer, og pre-konsultasjon symptom-data rapportert av ... -
Electrospinning of chloramphenicol-containing nanofibrous dressings for treatment of chronic wounds
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021-03-10)<p><i>Background</i> An efficient treatment is crucial to overcome the delayed healing process and high infection rate in chronic wounds. Nanofibrous dressings, having a nano‐sized fiber structure, can enhance cell ingrowth and support the healing process. In addition, nanofibers can deliver active ingredients e.g. antibiotics into the wound to treat wound infection. By incorporating broad‐spectrum ... -
Electrospinning of nanofibers with chitosan and B-glucan as active wound healing ingredients: Optimization and characterization
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-05-14)Wound healing is a complex and highly regulated process, vital for preserving the barrier function of the skin. However, several underlying pathologies have the ability to influence the cascade of events involved in this process, resulting in the development of chronic wounds. The heterogeneous nature of chronic wounds increases the requirements of novel wound dressings. Hence, the development of ... -
