Comparison of non-invasive individual monitoring of the training and health of athletes with commercially available wearable technologies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-09)
Athletes adapt their training daily to optimize performance, as well as avoid fatigue,
overtraining and other undesirable effects on their health. To optimize training load, each athlete
must take his/her own personal objective and subjective characteristics into consideration and an
increasing number of wearable technologies (wearables) provide convenient monitoring of various

Multilocus sequence typing and ftsI sequencing: a powerful tool for surveillance of penicillin-binding protein 3-mediated beta-lactam resistance in nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Background
Beta-lactam resistance in Haemophilus influenzae due to ftsI mutations causing altered penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3) is increasing worldwide. Low-level resistant isolates with the N526K substitution (group II low-rPBP3) predominate in most geographical regions, while high-level resistant isolates with the additional S385T substitution (group III high-rPBP3) are common in Japan ...

Hvorfor er det så himla viktig med utdanning?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-03)

that each of seven measures of disabilities (Health Utilities Index sub-scales of problems in (1) vision, (2)
hearing, (3) speech, (4) mobility, (5) dexterity, (6) ...
Arm Crank and Wheelchair Ergometry Produce Similar Peak Oxygen Uptake but Different Work Economy Values in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-20)
<i>Objective. </i> To study whether values for peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) and work economy (WE) at a standardized workload are different when tested by arm crank ergometry (ACE) and wheelchair ergometry (WCE). <i>Methods. </i> Twelve paraplegic men with spinal cord injury (SCI) in stable neurological condition participated in this cross-sectional repeated-measures study. We determined ...

CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio increase during rituximab maintenance in Granulomatosis with polyangiitis patients
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-20)
<b>Introduction</b> <br> Rituximab (RTX) is a B cell-depleting agent approved for the treatment of granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). RTX reduces antibody producing precursor plasma cells and inhibits B and T cells interaction. Infections related to T cell immunodeficiency are not infrequent during RTX treatment. Our study investigated CD4 cell count and CD4/CD8 ratio in GPA patients during the ...
