Inflammatory response after laparoscopic versus open resection of colorectal liver metastases: Data from the oslo-comet trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10)
Laparoscopic and open liver resection have not been
compared in randomized trials. The aim of the current study was to
compare the inflammatory response after laparoscopic and open resection
of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) in a randomized controlled
trial.
This was a predefined exploratory substudy within the Oslo CoMetstudy.
Forty-five patients with CLM were randomized to laparoscopic
(n ...
Dietary changes in early-stage breast cancer patients from pre-surgery and over the 12 months post-surgery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-19)
The time after a breast cancer diagnosis is a potential period for making positive dietary changes, but previous results are conflicting. The main aim of the present study was to study breast cancer patients’ dietary changes during the 12 months post-surgery and from 12 months pre-surgery to 12 months post-surgery with repeated administration of a 7-d pre-coded food diary and an FFQ, respectively. ...
Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors are associated with reduced complement activation in spondylarthropathies: An observational study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-23)
<i>Background</i> - The complement system is involved in pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, and might play a role in accelerated atherogenesis in spondylarthropathies (SpA). Hence, we examined complement activation in SpA, and its relationship to antirheumatic treatment, inflammatory and cardiovascular markers. <p>
<p><i>Methods</i> - From PSARA, a prospective observational study, we examined ...
Antirheumatic therapy is not associated with changes in circulating N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with autoimmune arthritis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-25)
Background: Patients with autoimmune arthritis (AA) are at increased risk for impaired cardiac function and heart failure. This may be partly due to the effect of inflammation in heart function. The impact of antirheumatic drugs on cardiac dysfunction in AA remains controversial. Therefore, we aimed to examine effects of antirheumatic treatment on serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide ...
Small- and large-fiber neuropathy after 40 years of type 1 diabetes associations with glycemic control and advanced protein glycation: the Oslo Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-10-15)
OBJECTIVE To study large- and small-nerve fiber function in type 1 diabetes of long
duration and associations with HbA<sub>1c</sub> and the advanced glycation end products (AGEs)
N-ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML) and methylglyoxal-derived hydroimidazolone.<p>
<p>RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In a long-term follow-up study, 27 persons
with type 1 diabetes of 40 ± 3 years duration underwent ...
Antirheumatic therapy is associated with reduced complement activation in rheumatoid arthritis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-25)
Background
The complement system plays an important role in pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and might be involved in accelerated atherogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The role of complement activation in response to treatment, and in development of premature CVD in RA, is limited. Therefore, we examined the effects of methotrexate (MTX) and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors ...
