ABC-transportørenes kliniske betydning
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-06-02)Multi-legemiddelresistens (multidrug resistance, MDR) er resistens mot flere strukturelt uavhengige kjemoterapimidler. Dette er spesielt ett problem for behandling av kreft fordi kreftceller kan danne resistens mot flere midler samtidig. Slik resistens utvikles ved hjelp av flere cellulære mekanismer. Den mest undersøkte og oftest assosierte metoden er via økt uttrykk av ATP-bindende kassett ... -
ABC-transportører
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2009-09-15)ABC (ATP-binding cassette)-transportører er store, evolusjonsmessig høykonserverte membranproteiner som er påvist i alle arter fra prokaryoter til komplekse organismer. ABC-transportørene muliggjør energiavhengig transport av spesifikke substrater gjennom cellemembraner. Blant substratene vi kjenner er lipider, karbohydrater, peptider, vitaminer, steroidhormoner, xenobiotika og medikamenter. ... -

Prevention and care rely much on intensive care nurses' competency and attitudes. This study explored intensive care nurses' experience, knowledge and bedside practice in prevention and care of pressure injuries and moisture-associated skin damages with a descriptive qualitative ... -
Abdominal aortic aneurysms : diagnosis and epidemiology : the Tromsø Study
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2005)Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a relatively common, potentially life-threatening condition roughly accounting for one percent of all the deaths in the western world. Abdominal aortic aneurysms are usually asymptomatic until rupture. Death from rupture is often sudden and the disease is prone to be misclassified as death from cardiac arrest. Since the introduction of surgical repair of AAA ... -
Abdominal aortic aneurysms, or a relatively large diameter of non-aneurysmal aortas, increase total and cardiovascular mortality: the Tromsø study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: In a population-based study in Tromsø, Norway, the authors assessed whether an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or the maximal infrarenal aortic diameter in a non-aneurismal aorta influence total and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Methods: A total of 6640 men and women, aged 25–84 years, were included in a 10-year mortality follow-up: 345 subjects with a diagnosed AAA and ... -
Abdominal symptoms in general practice: Frequency, cancer suspicions raised, and actions taken by GPs in six European countries. Cohort study with prospective registration of cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06)Background<br> Abdominal symptoms are diagnostically challenging to general practitioners (GPs): although common, they may indicate cancer. In a prospective cohort of patients, we examined abdominal symptom frequency, initial diagnostic suspicion, and actions of GPs in response to abdominal symptoms.<p> Methods<br> Over a 10-day period, 493 GPs in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the Netherlands, ... -
Aberrant salience predicts fluctuations of paranoia two weeks in advance during a 1-year experience sampling method study in people with psychosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-03)The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) has improved our understanding of psychosis considerably (Myin-Germeys et al., 2018). Not only has ESM shed light on the moment-to-moment variability of psychotic symptoms, it has equally helped to identify micro-level precursor variables that forecast symptom exacerbations a couple of hours in advance. Among others, established ESM-derived precursors are negative ... -
Aberrant uncertainty processing is linked to psychotic-like experiences, autistic traits, and is reflected in pupil dilation during probabilistic learning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-28)Aberrant belief updating due to misestimation of uncertainty and an increased perception of the world as volatile (i.e., unstable) has been found in autism and psychotic disorders. Pupil dilation tracks events that warrant belief updating, likely refecting the adjustment of neural gain. However, whether subclinical autistic or psychotic symptoms afect this adjustment and how they relate to learning ... -
