Pulmonary vascular clearance of harmful endogenous macromolecules in a porcine model of acute liver failure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-30)Background. Pulmonary complications are common in acute liver failure (ALF).

Pulse oximetry in an adult population: Predictors of low oxygen saturation and associations with mortality; The Tromsø Study
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-03-19)Pulsoksymetri er en enkel undersøkelsesmetode for å beregne metningen av oksygen (O2) i arterielt blod (SpO2). Lave verdier kan være indikasjon på hjerte- og/eller lungesykdom. Ingen befolkningsundersøkelser har tidligere sett på oksygenmetning i en voksen befolkning. Avhandlingen er basert på de to befolkningsundersøkelsene, Tromsø 5 (2001/2002) og Tromsø 6 (2007/2008). I disse ble det gjort ... -
Pupillary Stroop effects
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)We recorded the pupil diameters of participants performing the words’ color-naming Stroop task (i.e., naming the color of a word that names a color). Non-color words were used as baseline to firmly establish the effects of semantic relatedness induced by color word distractors. We replicated the classic Stroop effects of color congruency and color incongruency with pupillary diameter recordings: ...
