(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-11-23)
Portrayals of characters with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or with autistic traits on film and in TV-series are increasing. Such portrayals may contribute in increasing awareness of the condition but can also increase stereotypes. Thus, these character portrayals are subject to heated debate within the ASD-community, but also in the general public at large. Following our recent published study ...
The Opioid Receptor Mu 1 (OPRM1) rs1799971 and Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) rs4680 as genetic markers for placebo analgesia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-16)
The placebo effect is considered the core example of mind-body interactions. However, individual differences produce large placebo response variability in both healthy volunteers and patients. The placebo response in pain, placebo analgesia, may be dependent on both the opioid system and the dopaminergic system. Previous studies suggest that genetic variability affects the function of these 2 systems. ...
Textual health warning labels on snus (Swedish moist snuff): do they affect risk perception?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-27)
<p><i>Background</i>:

The PED-t trial protocol: The effect of physical exercise – and dietary therapy compared with cognitive behavior therapy in treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Study protocol of a randomized controlled trial.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-12)
Background: <br> Sufferers from bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) underestimate the severity risk of
their illness and, therefore, postpone seeking professional help for years. Moreover, less than one in five actually
seek professional help and only 50% respond to current treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
The impetus for the present trial is to explore a ...
Blinding is compromised for transcranial direct current stimulation at 1 mA for 20 min in young healthy adults
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-19)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non‐invasive brain stimulation method that is frequently used to study cortical excitability changes and their impact on cognitive functions in humans. While most stimulators are capable of operating in double‐blind mode, the amount of discomfort experienced during tDCS may break blinding. Therefore, specifically designed sham stimulation protocols ...

The prestige of somatic and mental disporders : A suvey among health professionals and a representative general population sample
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009)
Objective: The purpose of the paper is to study the ranking of disorders according to their perceived importance. Previous studies suggest that rankings according to the perceived or attributed “value” or importance create informal hierarchies of disorders on normative attitudes about symptoms, treatment and outcome. In this work we studied disorder ranking in the general population and among health ...
Co-occurrence of avoidant personality disorder and child sexual abuse predicts poor outcome in longstanding eating disorders
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-12-16)
Few consistent predictive factors for eating disorder have been identified across studies. In the current five year prospective study, the objective was to examine whether (1) personality disorder and child sexual abuse predict the course of severity of eating disorder symptoms after inpatient treatment and (2) how the predictors interact. A total of 74 patients with long standing eating disorder ...
