    • Atopisk eksem og forverrende faktorer 

      Eide, Eva Julie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-24)
      Målet med oppgaven var å kartlegge faktorer som kan virke forverrende på et barn med atopisk eksem. Dette er viktig for å hjelpe foreldre til å se sammenhengen mellom symptomer og hva som utløser de, for å kunne lettere behandle og forebygge eksemet. Første del av oppgaven gir en innføring i atopisk eksem og forverrende faktorer. Det ble gjort en inndeling av faktorene etter virkemåte. Andre del ...

    • Atopisk eksem og matvareoverfølsomhet, er det en sammenheng? 

      Wilhelmsen, Harda (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2009-08-27)
      Atopisk eksem er en vanlig sykdom blant små barn, særlig i den vestlige delen av verden, og det ser ut til at forekomsten er økende. Atopisk eksem ser ofte ut til å ha en sammenheng med sykdommer som matvareallergi, astma og allergisk rhinitt. Mange mistenker at matvarer kan ha en betydning for eksemet. Oppgaven fokuserer på den eventuelle sammenhengen gjennom en litteraturstudie, og resultatene fra ...

    • ATPase activity of DFCP1 controls selective autophagy 

      Nahse-Kumpf, Viola; Raiborg, Camilla; Tan, Kia Wee; Mørk, Sissel; Torgersen, Maria Lyngaas; Wenzel, Eva; Nager Grifo, Mireia; Salo, Veijo T.; Johansen, Terje; Ikonen, Elina; Schink, Kay Oliver; Stenmark, Harald Alfred (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-08)
      Cellular homeostasis is governed by removal of damaged organelles and protein aggregates by selective autophagy mediated by cargo adaptors such as p62/SQSTM1. Autophagosomes can assemble in specialized cup-shaped regions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) known as omegasomes, which are characterized by the presence of the ER protein DFCP1/ZFYVE1. The function of DFCP1 is unknown, as are the mechanisms ...

    • Atrial Fibrillation and Cause-Specific Risks of Pulmonary Embolism and Ischemic Stroke 

      Hald, Erin Mathiesen; Rinde, Ludvig Balteskard; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Wilsgaard, Tom; Njølstad, Inger; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-29)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well‐established risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). Emerging evidence also indicates an association between AF and pulmonary embolism (PE). Because IS may potentially mediate the observed risk of PE in AF, we aimed to assess the impact of AF on the cause‐specific risks of PE and IS in a large cohort recruited from the general population.</p> ...

      Nyrnes, Audhild (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-01-14)
      Summary Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cardiac arrhythmia, which increases morbidity and mortality and thereby imposes high health costs on society. The prevalence of AF has increased for several decades, and is expected to increase further, with the rising numbers of elderly people and survivors of heart diseases. Several risk factors for AF related to genetics and diseases have been ...

    • Atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality: The Tromsø study 

      Hald, Erin Mathiesen; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B; Wilsgaard, Tom; Njølstad, Inger; Brækkan, Sigrid K.; Hansen, John-Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-06)
      Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke and all‐cause mortality. Patients with AF are also at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but information on how AF impacts VTE‐related mortality is scarce. Objectives - To investigate the impact of AF on all‐cause mortality in subjects with and without a thromboembolic event (VTE or ischemic ...

      Hoseth, Eva Zsuzsanna; Krull, Florian; Dieset, Ingrid; Mørch, Ragni Helene; Hope, Sigrun; Gardsjord, Erlend Strand; Steen, Nils Eiel; Melle, Ingrid; Brattbakk, Hans-Richard; Steen, Vidar Martin; Aukrust, Pål; Djurovic, Srdjan; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-23)
      The Notch signaling pathway plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment and in adult brain homeostasis. We aimed to further investigate Notch pathway activity in bipolar disorder (BD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) by conducting a pathway analysis. We measured plasma levels of Notch ligands (DLL1 and DLK1) using enzyme immunoassays in a large sample of patients (SCZ n = 551, BD n = 246) and healthy controls ...

    • Attitudes and knowledge about direct and indirect risks among conventional and complementary health care providers in cancer care

    • Attitudes to evidence-based interventions and routine outcome measures in mental health professionals 

      Rye, Marte (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-06-20)
      The complicated relationship between clinical health science and clinical practice has widely been referred to as the “science-practice gap”. This is for instance visible in the discrepancy between the amount of resources spent to develop and apply evidence-based treatment programmes and interventions (EBI) and the extent to which these interventions are used in real-life mental health care service ...

    • Attitudes towards mathematics, achievement, and drop-out intentions among STEM and Non-STEM students in Norway 

      Óturai, Gabriella; Riener, Cordian; Martiny, Sarah (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-22)
      High mathematical ability is central in many domains. In the present study, we investigated relations between students’ high school mathematics background and current study program, and various mathematics-related outcomes. We expected that students who had attended higher-level mathematics courses in high school would report more positive attitudes towards mathematics and higher achievement in ...
