Evaluation and Late-Stage Fluorination of Small Molecule GnRH-R Antagonists
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2019-05-15)Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia; causing problems with memory, thinking and behaviour. The seemingly protective effect of hormone replacement therapy against Alzheimer’s disease sparked an interest in the role of the sex hormone system. Sex steroid production is dependent on gonadotropins released in the pituitary. The gonadotropin level is controlled by gonadotropin releasing ... -
Evaluation by metabolic profiling and in vitro autoradiography of two promising GnRH‐receptor ligands for brain SPECT imaging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-18)The increased expression of gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRH‐R) in brain has been strongly linked to Alzheimer disease. Therefore, the development of radiolabeled imaging agents for GnRH‐R is relevant for early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. We have recently disclosed the discovery of two promising compounds displaying nanomolar‐range affinity for the GnRH‐R. In the present study, a ... -

Evaluation Challenges in the validation of B7-H3 as oral tongue cancer prognosticator
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-21)B7-H3 was the only molecule identified with prognostic potential from a recent systematic review of the prognostic value of immune checkpoints in oral cancer. We aimed to validate this finding in a multicenter international cohort. We retrospectively retrieved 323 oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) samples from three different countries (Brazil, Finland, and Norway) for immunostaining and ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)<p><i>Background</i>: Psychological online interventions (POIs) reduce depression but we know little about factors influencing their effectiveness. We evaluated a new, brief POI for depression and conducted exploratory moderator analyses.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: In this online trial (German Clinical Trials Register; DRKS00011045), we allocated participants to treatment as usual (TAU; n = 67) or ... -
Evaluation of a pharmacist-led cardiovascular risk clinic for patients with diabetes attending a hospital out-patient clinic
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-06-11)Cardiovascular disease is strongly associated with diabetes; hypertension is prominent in diabetic patients. In 2003 a pharmacist-led cardiovascular risk reduction clinic was established to reduce cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of outcome measures to inform a future prospective study to evaluate the pharmacist-led clinic and to ... -
Evaluation of a trauma team activation protocol revision: A prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-25)<b>Background:</b> Correct triage based on prehospital information contributes to a better outcome for potentially seriously injured patients. In 2011 we changed the trauma team activation (TTA) criteria in our center in order to improve the high over- and undertriage properties of the protocol. Five criteria that were unable to predict severe injury were removed. In the present study, we evaluated ... -
Evaluation of a university hospital trauma team activation protocol
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Background: Admission with a multidisciplinary trauma team may be vital for the severely injured patient, as this facilitates rapid diagnosis and treatment. On the other hand, patients with minor injuries do not need the trauma team for adequate care. Correct triage is important for optimal resource utilization. The aim of the study was to evaluate our criteria for activating the trauma team, and ... -

Evaluation of absolute quantitation by nonlinear regression in probe-based real-time PCR
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-03)Background In real-time PCR data analysis, the cycle threshold (CT) method is currently the gold standard. This method is based on an assumption of equal PCR efficiency in all reactions, and precision may suffer if this condition is not met. Nonlinear regression analysis (NLR) or curve fitting has therefore been suggested as an alternative to the cycle threshold method for absolute quantitation. ... -
