      Berg, Lars Martin; Ankjell, Torun Karina Solheim; Sun, Yi-Qian; Trovik, Tordis A; Sjögren, Anders; Rikardsen, Oddveig G; Moen, Ketil; Hellem, Sølve; Bugten, Vegard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-19)
      Nonsevere obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is most often treated with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device or a mandibular advancement splint (MAS). However, patient compliance with these treatments is difficult to predict. Improvement in apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is also somewhat unpredictable in MAS treatment. In this study, we investigated the association between Friedman tongue ...

      Szafranska, Karolina; Neuman, Tanja; Baster, Zbigniew; Rajfur, Zenon; Szelest, Oskar; Holte, Christopher Florian; Kubisiak, Agata; Kus, Edyta; Wolfson, Deanna; Chlopicki, Stefan; Ahluwalia, Balpreet Singh; Lekka, Malgorzata; Szymonski, Marek; McCourt, Peter Anthony; Zapotoczny, Barlomiej (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)
      Fenestrations in liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC) are transcellular nanopores of 50–350 nm diameter that facilitate bidirectional transport of solutes and macromolecules between the bloodstream and the parenchyma of the liver. Liver diseases, ageing, and various substances such as nicotine or ethanol can negatively influence LSECs fenestrations and lead to defenestration. Over the years, ...
    • From Paper to E-Prescribing of Multidose Drug Dispensing: A Qualitative Study of Workflow in a Community Care Setting 

      Jøsendal, Anette Vik; Bergmo, Trine Strand (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-16)
      E-prescribing is now widespread and, in some countries, has completely replaced paper prescriptions. In Norway, almost all prescribing is electronic, except for multidose drug dispensing (MDD), which is still sent to the pharmacy by fax or ordinary mail. MDD is an adherence aid used by one-third of all patients receiving home care services. In this paper, we present results from a qualitative study ...

    • From serial reproduction to serial communication: transmission of the focus of comparison in lay communication about gender inequality 

      Braun, Maike; Martiny, Sarah E.; Bruckmüller, Susanne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-21)
      We introduce and explore the potential of the serial communication method, a modification of the serial reproduction paradigm in which participants communicate their own thoughts. It affords participants more agency, more closely simulating real communication. We specifically examined the transmission of the focus of comparison in explanations of gender inequality, a consequential form of equivalency ...

      Mulkins, Andrea; McKenzie, Emily; Balneaves, Lynda; Salamonsen, Anita; Verhoef, Marja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-08)
      Background: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is widespread and on the increase among cancer patients. Most research to date has involved a cross-sectional snapshot of CAM use rather than an exploration into the longitudinal, nonlinear treatment trajectories that cancer patients develop. Our aim is to explore and describe different treatment and decision-making pathways that individuals ...
    • From thought to action: On the relevance of including situational cues in thought about intended actions 

      Martiny-Huenger, Torsten; Damanskyy, Yevhen; Parks-Stamm, Elizabeth J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)
      Successful everyday self-regulation often hinges on implementing intended responses at a later time–often in specific situations. We address this self-regulation challenge by examining the role of individuals’ thought about intended actions–and specifically whether it does or does not include situational cues. We hypothesized that including situational cues when thinking about intended actions enables ...
    • From volunteer work to informal care by stealth: a ‘new voluntarism’ in social democratic health and welfare services for older adults 

      Ågotnes, Gudmund; Moholt, Jill-Marit; Blix, Bodil Hansen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-09)
      In the context of current and expected demographic changes, the issues of which services the welfare state should offer and, ultimately, the very function of the welfare state are currently debated in Norway. The political discourse on health and care services for older adults has morphed into an accepted reality in which the system must be altered, prompting policy makers and stakeholders to find ...
    • From wholes to fragments to wholes—what gets lost in translation? 

      Kirkengen, Anna Luise (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-05-31)
      The highly demanding and, in a certain sense, unique, working conditions of general practitioners (GPs) are characterized by two phenomena: First, they involve an increasing familiarity with individual patients over time, which promotes a deepening of insight. Second, they enable the GP to encounter all kinds of health problems, which in turn facilitates pattern recognition, at both individual and ...
