Antioxidant activity of selected natural medicine used in Nepal
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Diminished antioxidant defence or increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in the biological system can result into oxidative stress which can cause damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, lipids and as a result different disease states arise like cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis. Antioxidants from different plant resources can significantly delay ... -
The antioxidant system of arctic seabirds and the effect of HOCs on antioxidant capacity of kidney tissue
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-06-15)The arctic is exposed to a wide range of pollutants which originate from industrialized areas located in temperate regions. Halogenated organic contaminants (HOCs) are of special concern due to their persistency and ability to bioaccumulate. Consequently, animals high in the food chain, such as marine seabirds, are prone to accumulate high levels of these compounds. The HOCs are known to increase ... -
Antiretroviral treatment reverses HIV-associated anemia in rural Tanzania
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)HIV-associated anemia is common and associated with poor prognosis. However, its response to antiretroviral treatment (ART) in rural Africa is poorly understood. HIV-infected adults (≥15 years) who enrolled in HIV care at Haydom Lutheran Hospital in northern Tanzania were included in the study. The effect of ART (zidovudine/stavudine + lamivudine + efavirenz/nevirapine) on HIV-associated anemia ... -
Antirheumatic therapy is associated with reduced complement activation in rheumatoid arthritis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-25)Background The complement system plays an important role in pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and might be involved in accelerated atherogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The role of complement activation in response to treatment, and in development of premature CVD in RA, is limited. Therefore, we examined the effects of methotrexate (MTX) and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors ... -
Antirheumatic therapy is not associated with changes in circulating N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with autoimmune arthritis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-25)Background: Patients with autoimmune arthritis (AA) are at increased risk for impaired cardiac function and heart failure. This may be partly due to the effect of inflammation in heart function. The impact of antirheumatic drugs on cardiac dysfunction in AA remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to examine effects of antirheumatic treatment on serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide ... -
Anti–miR-93-5p therapy prolongs sepsis survival by restoring the peripheral immune response
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-01)Sepsis remains a leading cause of death for humans and currently has no pathogenesis-specific therapy. Hampered progress is partly due to a lack of insight into deep mechanistic processes. In the past decade, deciphering the functions of small noncoding miRNAs in sepsis pathogenesis became a dynamic research topic. To screen for new miRNA targets for sepsis therapeutics, we used samples for miRNA ... -

Vi har også sett på hvordan dette kan kombineres med internettbaserte selvhjelpsprogrammer. I tillegg til å lese ulik ... -
Any difference? : use of a CAM provider among cancer patients, coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and individuals with no cancer/CHD
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Although use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) among cancer patients has been described previously, prevalence of use has not commonly been compared to other disease groups in a true population sample where CAM use or cancer is not the main focus. The aims of the present study are to (1) examine how CAM use in cancer patients differs from people with a previous CHD diagnosis ... -
APC mosaicism in a young woman with desmoid type fibromatosis and familial adenomatous polyposis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-24)Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is usually caused by germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. The classic form is characterized by hundreds to thousands of adenomas in the colorectum and early onset colorectal cancer (CRC) if left untreated. FAP is also associated with multiple extra-colonic manifestations such as gastroduodenal polyps, osteomas, epidermoid cysts, fibromas ... -
The Apolipoprotein B/Apolipoprotein A-I Ratio as a Potential Marker of Plasma Atherogenicity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background. The apolipoprotein (apo) B/apoA-I ratio represents the balance between apoB-rich atherogenic particles and apoAI-rich antiatherogenic particles, and this ratio is considered to be a marker of cardiovascular risk. Although many studies have demonstrated the importance of the apoB/apoA-I ratio in predicting the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease, less is known about apoB/apoA-I ... -
The apolipoprotein C-I content of very-low-density lipoproteins is associated with fasting triglycerides, postprandial lipemia, and carotid atherosclerosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Experimental studies in animals suggest that apolipoprotein (apo) C-I is an important regulator of triglycerides in fasting and postprandial conditions and associated with carotid atherosclerosis. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 81 subjects, aged 56–80 years recruited from a population health survey. The participants underwent a fat tolerance test (1 g fat per Kg body weight) and ... -

Appendix E Telemedisinske løsninger i maritime operasjoner og redningstjeneste
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016)Folk som jobber i maritime miljø har ikke enkel tilgang til sentrale helsetjenester, og det gjelder spesielt for sjøfolk som arbeider i arktiske områder. Selv om telemedisin har vært en suksess på land, har telemedisin kun i begrenset grad blitt tatt i bruk til havs. Dette skyldes blant annet fravær av gode kommunikasjonsløsninger, dårlige værforhold, store avstander og lange perioder utenfor ... -

Applying speech technologies to assess verbal memory in patients with serious mental illness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-11)Verbal memory deficits are some of the most profound neurocognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia and serious mental illness in general. As yet, their measurement in clinical settings is limited to traditional tests that allow for limited administrations and require substantial resources to deploy and score. Therefore, we developed a digital ambulatory verbal memory test with automated ... -
Appraising the causal relevance of DNA methylation for risk of lung cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-24)<i>Background</i> - DNA methylation changes in peripheral blood have recently been identified in relation to lung cancer risk. Some of these changes have been suggested to mediate part of the effect of smoking on lung cancer. However, limitations with conventional mediation analyses mean that the causal nature of these methylation changes has yet to be fully elucidated.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - We ... -
Approaches to Studying: A Cross-Sectional Comparison of Occupational Therapy Students in Six Education Programs in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)Students’ approaches to studying have been associated with their academic performance. Although previous research suggests that the cultural and educational context may influence approaches to studying, few studies have investigated differences in study approaches across education programs. The aim of this study was to examine whether approaches to studying differed among occupational therapy students ...
