    • Early fulminant BK polyomavirus-associated nephropathy in two kidney transplant patients with low neutralizing antibody titers receiving allografts from the same donor 

      Lorentzen, Elias Myrvoll; Henriksen, Stian; Kaur, Amandeep; Kro, Grete Birkeland; Hammarström, Clara; Hirsch, Hans H; Midtvedt, Karsten; Rinaldo, Christine Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed; Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-01-10)
      <i>Background</i> - BK Polyomavirus (BKPyV) causes premature graft failure in 1 to 15% of kidney transplant (KT) recipients. High-level BKPyV-viruria and BKPyV-DNAemia precede polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PyVAN), and guide clinical management decisions. In most cases, BKPyV appears to come from the donor kidney, but data from biopsy-proven PyVAN cases are lacking. Here, we report the early ...

    • Early intervention influences positively quality of life as reported by prematurely born children at age nine and their parents; a randomized clinical trial

    • Early Maladaptive Schemas and Mental Disorders in Adulthood: a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis 

      Thimm, Jens; Chang, Michelle (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-21)
      Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are broad and pervasive themes regarding oneself and one’s relationships with others originating from adverse childhood experiences. Although the concept of EMSs was initially developed for the treatment of personality disorders, the associations of EMSs with a variety of other mental disorders have been investigated. The goal of the present study was to summarize ...

    • Early maladaptive schemas as predictors of maternal bonding to the unborn child 

      Nordahl, Dag; Høifødt, Ragnhild Sørensen; Bohne, Agnes; Landsem, Inger Pauline; Wang, Catharina Elisabeth Arfwedson; Thimm, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-11)
      <p><i>Background - </i>The quality of an expectant mother’s bonding to the fetus has been shown to be associated with important developmental outcomes. Previous studies suggest that bonding quality is predicted by, for example, social support, psychological well-being, and depression. However, little is known regarding the role of maternal cognition in maternal-fetal bonding. Early maladaptive schemas ...

    • Early markers of metabolic disease in obesity - A study of postprandial triglycerides, leptin and adiponectin interactions in the view of normal and dysregulated metabolism 

      Larsen, Maria Arlén (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-12-06)
      Individuals in industrialized countries spend a substantial part of life in the non-fasting, postprandial state, which is also associated with increased oxidation and inflammation. Furthermore, a high body mass index (BMI) is the third cause of mortality in the world. In this PhD thesis, obese (BMI>30) individuals with and without metabolic disease (n=50) was included, in addition to a normal ...

    • Early Markers of Metabolic Dysregulation in Obese Individuals - Identification at Baseline and Effect of Modest Weight Loss 

      Isaksen, Victoria Therese (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-11-15)
      <p><i>Background:</i> Evidence suggests that the link between obesity and chronic lifestyle disease is chronic, low-grade inflammation. Leptin and adiponectin play principal roles in inducing inflammation and promoting insulin resistance, resulting in metabolic syndrome. Our study aimed to find clinically feasible biologic markers to identify metabolically dysregulated obese individuals and to study ...

    • Early performance measures following regular versus irregular screening attendance in the population-based screening program for breast cancer in Norway 

      Thy, Jonas Evensen; Larsen, Marthe; Vigeland, Einar; Koch, Henrik Wethe; Hovda, Tone; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-11)
      Irregular attendance in breast cancer screening has been associated with higher breast cancer mortality compared to regular attendance. Early performance measures of a screening program following regular versus irregular screening attendance have been less studied. We aimed to investigate early performance measures following regular versus irregular screening attendance. Methods We used information ...

      Aberrant pro-survival signaling is a hallmark of cancer cells, but the response to chemotherapy is poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the initial signaling response to standard induction chemotherapy in a cohort of 32 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, using 36-dimensional mass cytometry. Through supervised and unsupervised machine learning approaches, we find that reduction of ...

    • Early sexual behaviour and Chlamydia trachomatis infection - a population based cross-sectional study on gender differences among adolescents in Norway. 

      Gravningen, Kirsten Midttun; Furberg, Anne-Sofie; Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Wilsgaard, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Early sexual behaviour has been shown to differ significantly between genders, but few studies have addressed this topic to explain the commonly observed differences in chlamydia rates between adolescent girls and boys. Our study aimed to determine chlamydia prevalence in adolescents aged 15–20 years in a high-incidence area in Norway, and to identify gender-specific early sexual behaviours associated ...
