    • 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 ...

      Bramness, Jørgen Gustav; Syse, Aslak; Rognli, Eline B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-20)
      Hvert år legges over 500 pasienter inn på norske sykehus med diagnosen rusutløst psykose. Men rusmiddelbruk er bare én av flere bidragende faktorer til at disse pasientene blir psykotiske, og mange får senere en schizofrenidiagnose.

Kunnskap om hva som kjennetegner unge tobakksbrukere og hva som er assosiert med de forskjellige tobakksformene er derfor nyttig for fremtidige forebyggende strategier. Materiale og metode: I årsskiftet 2000/2001 fikk 4837 elever utlevert et spørreskjema om ...

    • S100A8 gene copy number and protein expression in breast cancer: associations with proliferation, histopathological grade and molecular subtypes 

      Børkja, Mathieu; Giambelluca, Miriam Soledad; Ytterhus, Borgny; Prestvik, Wenche Slettahjell; Bjørkøy, Geir; Bofin, Anna M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-14)
      Background and aims Amplification of S100A8 occurs in 10–30% of all breast cancers and has been linked to poorer prognosis. Similarly, the protein S100A8 is overexpressed in a roughly comparable proportion of breast cancers and is also found in infiltrating myeloid-lineage cells, again linked to poorer prognosis. We explore the relationship between these findings.<p> <p>Methods We examined S100A8 ...

      Background - Current evidence supports the use of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase in patients with wake-up stroke selected with MRI or perfusion imaging and is recommended in clinical guidelines. However, access to advanced imaging techniques is often scarce. We aimed to determine whether thrombolytic treatment with intravenous tenecteplase given within 4·5 h of awakening improves functional ...

      Stette Haarberg, Ingrid (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-05-04)
      Every year backcountry skiers are victims of avalanches, and human errors are recognized as one of the most important factors in explaining why these accidents happen. We used an embedded mixed method design, in which the qualitative data was given priority, in order to investigate how backcountry skiers plan, conduct and evaluate trips in avalanche terrain. In all, a sample of 23 backcountry skiers ...

    • Safety of Treatment Provided by Homeopaths Homeopathic Aggravations, Adverse Effects and Risk Assessment 

      Stub, Trine (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-03-28)
      Introduction Homeopathic treatment has a long tradition. Because of its widespread use as alternative therapy in Norway and Europe, but also in nations such as India, investigation into patient safety related to homeopathic treatment is important. Risk in homeopathy can be divided into direct and indirect risk. Direct risk is directly linked to the intervention itself while indirect risk is related ...

    • Salary and power: How occupational status affects children's occupational aspirations 

      Olsen, Marte; Parks-Stamm, Elizabeth J.; Thorsteinsen, Kjærsti; Martiny, Sarah E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-17)
      In many countries, labor markets are still highly gender segregated, with very few men working in communal occupations such as nursing. Because occupational aspirations start to develop during early childhood, it seems crucial to foster our understanding of which factors affect occupational aspirations during this period. Earlier correlational research showed that the status of occupations seems to ...
