    • The role of ultrasonic vocalizations in the formation of rat groups in a semi-natural environment 

      Skagen, Bjørn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-03)
      This study investigated if ultrasonic vocalizations (USV) had an effect on the formation of groups of rats in a semi-natural setting that allowed the rats to live closer to their natural state in the wild. This was done by letting four groups of rats into a semi-natural environment. Where prior to release into the environment, all the rats received surgery. Where some of the rats had the nerve to ...

      The tumor viruses human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1), hepatitis C virus (HCV), Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV), high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPVs), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) account for approximately 15% of all human cancers. Although the oncoproteins of these tumor viruses display no sequence similarity to one ...

    • The role of Vitamin D binding protein, total and free 25-hydroxyvitamin D in diabetes 

      Jorde, Rolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-19)
      Vitamin D is important for bone health, but may also have extra-skeletal effects. Vitamin D and its binding protein DBP have immunological effects and may therefore be important in the development of type 1 diabetes (T1DM), and low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) are associated with later development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, it has so far been difficult to convincingly show ...

    • Rollen til urokinase plasminogen aktivator reseptoren (uPAR) for uttrykk av molekyler involvert i celle adhesjon, migrasjon og invasjon 

      Haustreis, Stine-Mari (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-05-20)
      Urokinase-type-plasminogen activator reseptor (uPAR) er funnet overuttrykt i organer som har omfattende remodulering av vevet. uPAR har flere ligander, blant annet serine proteasen urokinase plasminogen aktivator uPA, ekstracellulær matrix proteine vitronectin og integriner. uPA aktiveres ved binding til uPAR. Aktiv uPA aktiverer ved binding til uPAR og kan deretter aktivere plasmin som kan degradere ...

      Background - Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent cardiovascular disease with severe complications, including recurrence and death. There is a great need for alternative prophylactic treatment options as anticoagulation is accompanied by increased bleeding risk. Statins are reported to reduce the risk of incident and recurrent VTE, but the mechanisms are elusive. Procoagulant phospholipids ...

    • Rotatormansjettsyndrom - hvilke konservative behandlingsformer har dokumentert effekt? - Et litteraturstudie 

      Isaksen, Ingrid Margrethe; Winther, Karoline (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-04-24)
      BAKGRUNN: Rotatormansjettsyndrom er den hyppigste årsaken til skuldersmerter. Årsaken bak tilstanden er multifaktoriell. Mangel på en gullstandard for diagnostikk, klassifisering, bruk av terminologi og behandlingsprotokoller for skuldersmerter gjør sammenligning av forskningsresultater problematisk. Det finnes mange behandlingsalternativer for tilstanden, men ingen kunnskapsbasert behandlingsveieleder ...

    • Rural High North : A High Rate of Fatal Injury and Prehospital Death 

      Bakke, Håkon Kvåle; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      Finnmark County is the northernmost county in Norway. For several decades, the rate of mortality after injury in this sparsely inhabited region has remained above the national average. Following documentation of this discrepancy for the period 1991–1995, improvements to the trauma system were implemented. The present study aims to assess whether trauma-related mortality rates have subsequently ...
