    • Fractional exhaled nitric oxide and its relation to exercise, asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in a subarctic childhood population. A study of asthma and allergy among schoolchildren in Nordland County. 

      Evjenth, Bjørg (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-11-07)
      Astma og allergisk øye- og nesekatarr (rhinokonjunktivitt, AR) er de vanligste kroniske sykdommene blant barn i den vestlige verden. I de siste tiårene har prevalensen (forekomsten) av sykdommene økt betydelig, men i enkelte Europeiske land rapporteres det om en utflating i prevalensen av astma. I klinisk praksis brukes laboratorietester til å understøtte diagnosene astma og AR. Analyser av biologiske ...

    • Fractional integral-like processing in retinal cones reduces noise and improves adaptation 

      Martinecz, Antal; Niitsuma, Mihoko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-04)
      In the human retina, rod and cone cells detect incoming light with a molecule called rhodopsin. After rhodopsin molecules are activated (by photon impact), these molecules activate the rest of the signalling process for a brief period of time until they are deactivated by a multistage process. First, active rhodopsin is phosphorylated multiple times. Following this, they are further inhibited by the ...

      Jørgensen, Lone (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2001)
      This thesis highlights several clinically important questions related to bone loss the first year following stroke and with regard to bone mass at stroke onset:<br> Lack of mobility and weight bearing early after stroke is an important factor for the greater bone loss in the proximal femur on the paretic side. Relearning to walk within the first two month after stroke, even with support of another ...

    • Fragile X and autism : intertwined at the molecular level leading to targeted treatments 

      Hoem, Gry (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-06)
      Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by an expanded CGG repeat (>200 repeats) in the 5’ un-translated portion of the fragile mental retardation 1 gene (FMR1) leading to deficiency or absence of the FMR1 protein (FMRP). FMRP is an RNA carrier protein that controls the translation of a number of other genes that regulate synaptic development and plasticity. Autism occurs in approximately 30% of FXS ...
