Differensiert fødselsomsorg. Forventet normal fødsel versus risikofødsel - hvordan går det med de som føder ved Kvinneklinikken i Tromsø?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-13)Norsk fødselsomsorg har i senere år gjennomgått et omfattende kvalitetsarbeid med innføring av nasjonale krav til fødselsomsorgen og seleksjon av fødende til riktig fødested/fødenivå. Myndighetene har ønsket gode resultater fra jordmorstyrte fødesteder overført til konvensjonelle fødeavdelinger, og ulike fødeinstitusjoner har utarbeidet seleksjonskriterier og ulike omsorgsmodeller for å skille mellom ... -
Different measures of smoking exposure and mammographic density in postmenopausal Norwegian women : a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-26)Background: Recent cohort studies have suggested an increased risk of breast cancer with long duration of smoking, and with smoking initiation before first birth. Cigarette smoking may have both carcinogenic effects and antiestrogenic effects on the breast tissue. We decided to examine the relationship between different measures of smoking exposure and mammographic density. Methods: Lifetime ... -
Different Outcomes According to Needling Point Location Used in Sham Acupuncture for Cancer-Related Pain: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-17)Numerous acupuncture studies have been conducted on cancer-related pain; however, its efficacy compared to sham acupuncture remains controversial. We confirmed whether the outcome of acupuncture differs according to the needling points of sham acupuncture for cancer-related pain. We searched 10 databases on 23 May 2023 to screen acupuncture trials using sham acupuncture or waiting list as controls ... -
Differential expression patterns of conserved miRNAs and isomiRs during Atlantic halibut development
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a major role in animal ontogenesis. Size variants of miRNAs, isomiRs, are observed along with the main miRNA types, but their origin and possible biological role are uncovered yet. Developmental profiles of miRNAs have been reported in few fish species only and, to our knowledge, differential expressions of isomiRs have not yet been shown during fish development. Atlantic ... -

Differential processing strategies in face perception
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-09-24)Faces constitute a unique object class in that they include extensive information about many aspects of human interaction, and still imply expert processing of individual subordinate-level objects. It is necessary to understand such a basic skill before progress in applied research can take place. The present thesis describes several experimental studies that investigated different basic attributes ... -
Differential profile of protumor immunological factors between the tumor site and the tumor-free site – predictive potential of IL-8 and COX2 for colorectal cancer and metastasis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-05)To study the role of host immune surveillance in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC), a set of protumor immunological factors was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (q-PCR) between the primary tumor and the adjacent tumor-free site tissues in 63 patients with colorectal neoplasms. Results showed that expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17A, IL-23, and ... -
Differential prognostic impact of platelet-derived growth factor receptor Expression in NSCLC
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-15)Preclinical evidence suggests that stromal expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRs) stimulates tumor development and diminishes intratumoral drug uptake. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the clinical relevance of stromal PDGFR expression remains uncertain. Tumor specimens from 553 patients with primary operable stage I-IIIB NSCLC was obtained and tissue micro-arrays (TMA) ... -
Differential Recall Bias, Intermediate Confounding, and Mediation Analysis in Life Course Epidemiology: An Analytic Framework with Empirical Example
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-23)The mechanisms by which childhood socioeconomic status (CSES) affects adult mental health, general health, and well-being are not clear. Moreover, the analytical assumptions employed when assessing mediation in social and psychiatric epidemiology are rarely explained. The aim of this paper was to explain the intermediate confounding assumption, and to quantify differential recall bias in the association ... -

Differentially Expressed MicroRNAs in Meningiomas Grades I and II Suggest Shared Biomarkers with Malignant Tumors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-03)Meningiomas represent the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, but few microRNA (miRNA) profiling studies have been reported so far. Deep sequencing of small RNA libraries generated from two human meningioma biopsies WHO grades I (benign) and II (atypical) were compared to excess dura controls. Nineteen differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by RT-qPCR using tumor RNA ... -

Digital dannelse -et bidrag til forståelse av en kompleks utfordring i skolen
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-12-15)Denne oppgaven omhandler temaet digital dannelse. Oppgaven har to hovedhensikter: Det ene er å bidra til et økt fokus på temaet, og det andre er å være et bidrag i seg selv, som kan etterprøves for deretter enten å videreutvikles, aksepteres eller forkastes. Oppgaven bygger blant annet på et syn om at digital dannelse må være noe mer og/eller annet enn regler og normer for skikk og bruk på nettet, ... -
