    • The Importance of Untold and Unheard Stories in Narrative Gerontology: Reflections on a Field Still in the Making from a Narrative Gerontologist in the Making 

      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 ...

    • Importfeber ved UNN. Forekomst, diagnostikk og behandling 

      Hoskil, Adam Aske (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-29)
      Bakgrunn: Importfeber er et økende problem som vokser i takt med nordmenns reisevaner. Flere av diagnosene som opptrer som importfeber er sjeldne her til lands og kan være vanskelig å oppdage rett og slett fordi de ikke står i tankene. Vi ville derfor finne ut hvor mange slike tilfeller som finnes og hvor godt de takles ved UNN. Vi ville også finne ut av hvilke diagnostiske og behandlingsmessige ...

    • 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 ...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of maximal strength training on sprint speed and jump height in high-level female football players.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> ...

    • Improved neurocognitive functions correlate with reduced inflammatory burden in atrial fibrillation patients treated with intensive cholesterol lowering therapy 

      Lappegård, Knut Tore; Pop-Purceleanu, Monica; van Heerde, Waander L.; Sexton, Joseph; Tendolkar, Indira; Pop, Gheorghe A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, including risk for cerebral macro- and microinfarctions and cognitive decline, even in the presence of adequate oral anticoagulation. AF is strongly related to increased inflammatory activity whereby anti-inflammatory agents can reduce the risk of new or recurrent AF. However, it is not known whether ...
