Differences in mammography screening attendance among non-Western immigrants in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)Several studies have shown that attendance rates are lower among non-Western immigrants than among natives. As the Nordic countries have quite similar health systems and populations but also differences in the organisation of their organised mammography screening programmes, differences in attendance rates could highlight organisational factors that might increase the attendance rates. Mammography ... -
Differences in PAR-2 activating potential by king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus), salmon (Salmo salar), and bovine (Bos taurus) trypsin.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-07-20)Background: Salmon trypsin is shown to increase secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-8 from human airway epithelial cells through activation of PAR-2. Secretion of IL-8 induced by king crab trypsin is observed in a different concentration range compared to salmon trypsin, and seems to be only partially related to PAR-2 activation. This report aim to identify differences in ... -

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 ... -
