ALCAM predicts future cardiovascular death in acute coronary syndromes: Insights from the PLATO trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-29)
<p><i>Background and aims - </i>Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) is upregulated during inflammation and involved in transmigration of leukocytes and T-cell activation. We hypothesized that ALCAM might be associated with recurrent events in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
<p><i>Methods - </i>ALCAM was measured in serum obtained on admission, at discharge, 1 month and ...
Cohort Profile: The Finnish Health in Teens (Fin-HIT) study: A population-based study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-12)
The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is increasing globally. In high-income countries, the prevalence of obesity has plateaued, although the rate is still high. Children with overweight and obesity are likely to stay obese into adulthood and tend to develop certain diseases, such as pulmonary, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, more frequently and at a younger ...
Patterns in the relationship between life expectancy and gross domestic product in Russia in 2005-15: a cross-sectional analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-04)
<i>Background</i> - Since 2005, Russia has made substantial progress, experiencing an almost doubling of per-capita gross domestic product by purchasing power parity (GDP [PPP]) to US$24 800 and witnessing a 6-year increase in life expectancy, reaching 71·4 years by 2015. Even greater gains in GDP (PPP) were seen for Moscow, the Russian capital, reaching $43 000 in 2015 and with a life expectancy ...
Zonda is a novel early component of the autophagy pathway in Drosophila
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-13)
Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved process by which eukaryotic cells undergo self-digestion of cytoplasmic components. Here we report that a novel Drosophila
immunophilin, which we have named Zonda, is critically required for starvation-induced
autophagy. We show that Zonda operates at early stages of the process, specifically for
Vps34-mediated phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) deposition. ...
The Olympic biathlon - Recent advances and perspectives after pyeongchang
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-07-02)
The biathlon, combining cross-country ski skating with rifle marksmanship, has been
an Olympic event since the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, United States, in 1960.
As a consequence of replacing the classical with the skating technique in the 1980s,
as well as considerable improvements in equipment and preparation of ski tracks and
more effective training, the average biathlon skiing speed has ...
Management of patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) in a rural part of North Norway with a scattered population: does living near the department of oncology translate into a different pattern of care and survival?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-23)
The goal of the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services is to offer an equal health-care service with the same outcomes wherever people are living within the country. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether this was true for patients diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) and living in Nordland County, a region with a challenging geography and climate and having, several small ...
ESC working group on cellular biology of the heart: Position paper for Cardiovascular Research: Tissue engineering strategies combined with cell therapies for cardiac repair in ischaemic heart disease and heart failure
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-17)
Morbidity and mortality from ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and heart failure (HF) remain significant in Europe and
are increasing worldwide. Patients with IHD or HF might benefit from novel therapeutic strategies, such as cellbased therapies. We recently discussed the therapeutic potential of cell-based therapies and provided recommendations on how to improve the therapeutic translation of these ...
Macro-kinematic differences between Sprint and Distance cross-country skiing competitions using the classical technique
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-05-17)
We compare the macro-kinematics of six elite female cross-country skiers competing
in 1.1-km Sprint and 10.5-km Distance classical technique events on consecutive
days under similar weather and track conditions. The relative use of double pole (DP),
kick-double pole (KDP), diagonal stride (DS), tucking (Tuck) and turning (Turn) subtechniques, plus each technique’s respective velocities, cycle ...
Group-Based Individualized Comprehensive Core Stability Intervention Improves Balance in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-04)
<i>Background</i>
- Balance and trunk control are often impaired in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Interventions addressing these issues are needed.<p>
<p><i>Objective</i>
- The objective of this study was to compare the immediate and long-term effects of a 6-week individualized, group-based, comprehensive core stability intervention (GroupCoreDIST) with standard care on balance ...
Is family group conferencing a culturally adequate method outside the origin of New Zealand? A systematic review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-06)
It is generally assumed that Family Group Conference (FGC) is a culturally adequate method for social work in indigenous communities. In this meta-synthesis, we question this assumption. Through systematic and strategic searches, we explored the existing trends of FGC research in indigenous contexts. We have included 26 articles are included in the literature review. Our analyses reveal that ...
