Atrial Fibrillation and Cause-Specific Risks of Pulmonary Embolism and Ischemic Stroke
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-29)
<p><i>Background</i>: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well‐established risk factor for ischemic stroke (IS). Emerging evidence also indicates an association between AF and pulmonary embolism (PE). Because IS may potentially mediate the observed risk of PE in AF, we aimed to assess the impact of AF on the cause‐specific risks of PE and IS in a large cohort recruited from the general population.</p>

Predicting unfavorable long-term outcome in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Results from the Nordic cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-03)
<i>Background</i>: The aim was to develop prediction rules that may guide early treatment decisions based on baseline
clinical predictors of long-term unfavorable outcome in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). <p>
<p><i>Methods</i>: In the Nordic JIA cohort, we assessed baseline disease characteristics as predictors of the following outcomes 8 years after disease onset. Non-achievement of ...

Tetradecabromo-1,4-diphenoxybenzene
(TeDB-DiPhOBz) is a highly brominated additive flame
retardant (FR). Debrominated photodegradates of TeDBDiPhOBz are hydroxylated <i>in vitro</i> in liver microsomal assays
based on herring gulls (<i>Larus argentatus</i>), including one
metabolite identified as 4<i>″</i>-OH-2,2<i>′</i>,2<i>″</i>,4-tetrabromo-DiPhOBz. Chemically related methoxylated tetra- ...
Differences between Men and Women in Treatment and Outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-19)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of disability, but little is known about sex and gender differences after TBI. We aimed to analyze the association between sex/gender, and the broad range of care pathways, treatment characteristics, and outcomes following mild and moderate/severe TBI. We performed mixed-effects regression analyses in the prospective multi-center Collaborative ...
Ethnic differences in the incidence of cancer in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-24)
Traditionally there have been differences in cancer incidence across geographic regions. When immigrants have moved from low-income to high-income countries, their incidence have changed as they have adapted to the lifestyle in the new host country. Given worldwide changes in lifestyle factors over time, we decided to examine cancer incidence in immigrant groups in Norway, a country with a recent ...

High expression of PDGFR-β in prostate cancer stroma is independently associated with clinical and biochemical prostate cancer recurrence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-24)
Due to a lack of sufficient diagnostic tools to predict aggressive disease, there is a significant overtreatment of patients with prostate cancer. Platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) are key regulators of mesenchymal cells in the tumor microenvironment, and has been associated with unfavorable outcome in several other cancers. Herein, we aimed to investigate the ...
