The art of yoik in care: Sami caregivers' experiences in dementia in Northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-26)<i>Purpose</i>: Yoik is the traditional vocal art of the Sami, the indigenous people of Fennoscandia. The Sami people, their land and their culture have been subject to colonisation and assimilation for centuries, hence the practice of yoik was lost in many regions. Despite an increasing awareness of the benefits of health musicking, yoik is only sporadically included in musicking practices in ... -
Arterial cardiovascular diseases and risk of venous thromboembolism
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-12-12)Despite differences in epidemiology, pathology, and treatment, growing evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between venous thromboembolism (VTE), a collective term for pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and arterial cardiovascular diseases (CVD, i.e., myocardial infarction [MI] and ischemic stroke). The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of atherosclerosis, ... -
Artificial Intelligence Evaluation of 122969 Mammography Examinations from a Population-based Screening Program
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-29)Background - Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown promising results for cancer detection with mammographic screening. However, evidence related to the use of AI in real screening settings remain sparse.<p> <p>Purpose - To compare the performance of a commercially available AI system with routine, independent double reading with consensus as performed in a population-based screening program. ... -
Artificial intelligence in BreastScreen Norway: a retrospective analysis of a cancer-enriched sample including 1254 breast cancer cases
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-14)Objectives To compare results of selected performance measures in mammographic screening for an artifcial intelligence (AI) system versus independent double reading by radiologists.<p> <p>Methods In this retrospective study, we analyzed data from 949 screen-detected breast cancers, 305 interval cancers, and 13,646 negative examinations performed in BreastScreen Norway during the period from 2010 ... -
Artificial intelligence-supported screen reading versus standard double reading in the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence trial (MASAI): a clinical safety analysis of a randomised, controlled, non-inferiority, single-blinded, screening accuracy study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-01)Background - Retrospective studies have shown promising results using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve mammography screening accuracy and reduce screen-reading workload; however, to our knowledge, a randomised trial has not yet been conducted. We aimed to assess the clinical safety of an AI-supported screen-reading protocol compared with standard screen reading by radiologists following ... -
An artificial neural network approach integrating plasma proteomics and genetic data identifies PLXNA4 as a new susceptibility locus for pulmonary embolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-07)Venous thromboembolism is the third common cardiovascular disease and is composed of two entities, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and its potential fatal form, pulmonary embolism (PE). While PE is observed in~ 40% of patients with documented DVT, there is limited biomarkers that can help identifying patients at high PE risk. To fll this need, we implemented a two hidden-layers artifcial neural ... -

Asialoglycoprotein Receptor (ASGP-R) is Liver Parenchymal Cells is Involved in Elimination of Recombinant Human TFPI
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2010)We here report on a study carried out to determine the early clearance kinetics, and organ, cell(s) and receptor(s) responsible for the clearance of full length TFPI purified from BHK cells (TFPI<sup>BHK</sup>). Following intravenous administration, <sup>125</sup>I-TFPI<sup>BHK</sup> was cleared with a biphasic elimination curve, and with a significantly slower t<sub>1/2</sub>α compared to recombinant ... -
Aspects of Active Smoking and Breast Cancer
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-10-24)Summary: According to the WHO, breast cancer is by far the most frequently diagnosed cancer, and the most frequent cause of cancer death among women in the world. Tobacco smoking is the single largest cause of cancer worldwide and has been linked to cancer in most organ systems. The aim of this thesis was to illuminate the association between smoking and breast cancer incidence, mortality, and to ... -
Aspects of brain health and pain tolerance in a general population
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-02-15)Pain is a major burden both for affected individuals and for society. While it has been established that processing in the brain is key to the experience of pain, most of the research is done in healthy volunteers or patients with specific pain conditions. Less is known about how the status of the brain may relate to pain sensitivity in the general population. While clinical pain can differ because ... -
Aspects of breast cervical cancer screening
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1992)The purpose of the thesis was to investigate aspects of breast cancer screening such as the feasibility, non-attendance and adverse effects of a general mammography screening program. A second objective was to examine whether risk factors for cervical neoplasia could be identified for potential utilization in a selective screening program for cervical cancer. -
Aspects of experimental cooling and rewarming with special reference to accidental hypothermia
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-08-17)Methods and aims We performed open, randomized, placebo-controlled experimental studies in intact, anesthetized pigs with the following main aims: Paper 1 To describe in detail the hemodynamic function with emphasis on left ventricular contractility during surface cooling, steady state severe hypothermia at 25°C, surface rewarming and in the post-hypothermic period of 2 h. Paper 2 1) To ... -
Aspects of health services in Sami areas
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-04-26)Helsepolitikk for samer har bygd på antakelser om at språk- og kulturforskjeller mellom helsepersonell og pasienter fører til et underforbruk av helsetjenester og en dårligere helsetjeneste. Første studie i denne avhandlingen analyserer forbruket av sykehus, og avviser at det er et underforbruk av helsetjenester blant samer generelt, men finner at de eldste innbyggerne i samiske kommuner er noe ... -
Aspects of Lung Cancer by Sex
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-06-12)Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men and the third most frequent in women across the globe, and the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The rising worldwide incidence of lung cancer among women has raised the possibility of a sex difference in the association between smoking and lung cancer. It has been estimated that approximately 90% of all lung cancer is related to smoking. The ... -
