      The effects of various weight loss strategies on pancreatic beta cell function remain unclear. We aimed to compare the effect of intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) on beta cell function. Design One year controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00273104). One hundred and nineteen morbidly obese participants without known diabetes from ...
    • Hypoxia and hypotension in patients intubated by physician staffed helicopter emergency medical services - a prospective observational multi-centre study 

      Sunde, Geir Arne; Sandberg, Mårten; Lyon, Richard; Fredriksen, Knut; Burns, Brian; Hufthammer, Karl Ove; Røislien, Jo; Sóti, Ákos; Jäntti, Helena; Lockey, David; Heltne, Jon-Kenneth; Sollid, Stephen J. M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-11)
      The effective treatment of airway compromise in trauma and non-trauma patients is important. Hypoxia and hypotension are predictors of negative patient outcomes and increased mortality, and may be important quality indicators of care provided by emergency medical services. Excluding cardiac arrests, critical trauma and non-trauma patients remain the two major groups to which helicopter emergency ...

      Objective: Weight reduction improves several obesity-related health conditions. We aimed to compare the effect of bariatric surgery and comprehensive lifestyle intervention on type 2 diabetes and obesityrelated cardiovascular risk factors. Design: One-year controlled clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00273104). Methods: Morbidly obese subjects (19–66 years, mean (S.D.) body mass ...
    • Parathyroid hormone, but not vitamin D, is associated with the metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese women and men : a cross-sectional study 

      Hjelmesæth, Jøran; Hofsø, Dag; Aasheim, Erlend T.; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Moan, Johan; Hager, Helle; Røislien, Jo; Bollerslev, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-03)
      Background: The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism is high among morbidly obese subjects. Further, low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 [OH]D) and magnesium have been associated with increased risk of the metabolic syndrome (MS), and recently, a possible link between PTH and MS has been reported. Although it is well known that the synthesis and secretion ...
