Multiple Chemical Sensitivity: Catching up to what kind of science?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-27)The recent review of Molot et al. (2023) appropriately emphasizes Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) as a growing health issue and the necessity of dedicated healthcare and medical education. The authors explain MCS mainly as the result of the sensitization of transient receptor potential (TRP) receptors, notably TRPV1 and TRPA1, and oppose this explanation to psychological processes as a causal ... -
Multiple faces of succinate beyond metabolism in blood
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-28)Succinate is an essential intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle that exerts pleiotropic roles beyond metabolism in both physiological and pathological conditions. Recent evidence obtained in mouse models shows its essential role regulating blood cell function through various mechanisms that include pseudohypoxia responses by hypoxiainducible factor-1α activation, post-translational modifications ... -
Multiple miscarriages are associated with the risk of ovarian cancer: results from the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)While the risk of ovarian cancer clearly reduces with each full-term pregnancy, the effect of incomplete pregnancies is unclear. We investigated whether incomplete pregnancies (miscarriages and induced abortions) are associated with risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. This observational study was carried out in female participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-15)Background: This is a response to Conti et al.’s article, “Listening in the dark: why we need stories of people living with severe and enduring anorexia nervosa” (published in JED, 2016), and its call for relational metaphors and a rela tional approach to supplement the traditional medical/psychological diagnostic language used to describe the life experiences and complex emotions of people ... -
A multiple risk factor program is associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease in 70-year-olds: A cohort study from Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-11)<i>Background</i> - In individuals below 65 years of age, primary prevention programs have not been successful in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. However, no large study to our knowledge has previously evaluated the effects of prevention programs in individuals aged 65 years or older. The present cohort study evaluated the risk of CVD in a primary prevention program for ... -

Multiple sources for Sertoli Cells and two Sertoli phenotypes in the adult elasmobranch testis: insight from two species belonging to different Orders
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-09)Findings presented here for the chondrichthyans <i>Prionace glauca</i> and <i>Isurus oxyrinchus</i> show that the assembly of the spermatocyst and it's attached collecting duct are seamlessly connected developmental phenomena. The cyst's somatic cell component (i.e., Sertoli cells, SCs) and the duct's constituent cells derive both from a common precursor cell type (typically a large oblong cell) ... -
Multiple specialised goose-type lysozymes potentially compensate for an exceptional lack of chickentype lysozymes in Atlantic cod
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-06-21)Previous analyses of the Atlantic cod genome showed unique combinations of lacking and expanded number of genes for the immune system. The present study examined lysozyme activity, lysozyme gene distribution and expression in cod. Enzymatic assays employing specific bacterial lysozyme inhibitors provided evidence for presence of g-Type, but unexpectedly not for c-Type lysozyme activity. Database ... -

Multiscale and Multimodal Optical Imaging of the Ultrastructure of Human Liver Biopsies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-17)The liver as the largest organ in the human body is composed of a complex macroscopic and microscopic architecture that supports its indispensable function to maintain physiological homeostasis. Optical imaging of the human liver is particularly challenging because of the need to cover length scales across 7 orders of magnitude (from the centimeter scale to the nanometer scale) in order to fully ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-01)<b>Objectives:</b> To examine the association between multisite musculoskeletal pain in adolescence and mental health disorders in young adulthood. <br><b>Design and setting: </b>Data were obtained from a linkage between the Norwegian Patient Registry (2008 – 2012) and the Norwegian Arctic Adolescent Health Study, a school-based survey conducted among 10th grade students in North Norway (2003 – ... -
Multisite musculoskeletal pain in adolescence. The relationship with psychosocial problems, mental health and later welfare benefit receipt
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2016-08-17)Pain is common in otherwise healthy youth and is often associated with psychosocial problems. However, there is limited knowledge of how pain-troubled adolescents fare from adolescence into young adulthood. To examine this, the Norwegian Arctic Adolescent Health Study, a 10th grade school-based survey (15–16-year-olds) conducted in North Norway, in 2003–2005, was linked to the Norwegian Patient ... -
Multisite musculoskeletal pain, self-harm and suicidal behaviour in Northern Norwegian adolescents: a population-based study
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)<p><i>Background:</i> Self-harm and suicidal behaviour commonly debuts and increases during adolescence. Suicidal behaviour is a major public health concern and is associated with later suicidal behaviour, mental health disorders and poor functioning in adulthood. Musculoskeletal pain also increases during adolescence and multisite pain is associated with increased disability and psychosocial problems. ... -

Munn- og tannstell for eldre i hjemmetjenesten. En kartlegging av kunnskap og evaluering av utbytte etter kurs
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-01)Eldre utgjør en økende andel av befolkningen og flere har i dag egne tenner. Tiden som hjemmeboende bærer preg av redusert kontakt med den offentlige tannhelsetjenesten, og økende kontakt med hjemmetjenesten. Frem til innleggelse på sykehjem viser det seg at mange har en oral helse som har forfalt. Tidligere undersøkelser viser at det er behov for kompetanseheving blant pleiepersonell som yter munn- ... -

Munnhulekreft og alkohol: kartlegging av karsinogene effekter av alkohol - en litteraturstudie
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-04-27)Innledning: Alkohol er det vanligste rusmidlet i den vestlige verden og 82% av befolkningen i Norge har drukket alkohol det siste året. Alkoholbruk er den tredje ledende risikofaktoren for dårlig helse globalt, da alkohol fører med seg flere negative helseeffekter – noen studier viser at alkoholinntak er assosiert med økt risiko for utvikling av munnhulekreft, men vi opplever at mekanismene bak den ... -
MUPS blant unge. En kvalitativ studie om helsesøking, sykdomsoppfattelse og sykdomsutvikling.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-31)Det finnes mye tidligere forskning omhandlende helsesøkende adferd, men lite om helsesøkende adferd blant spesifikt unge MUPS-pasienter. Det er viktig at leger, og særlig fastleger, har kunnskap om hvordan denne pasientgruppen finner helseinformasjon utenfor legekontoret, samt hvilken effekt det eventuelt har på forståelse av plager og videre sykdomsutvikling. Da kan de i større grad adressere ...
