The cost of saying no: general practitioners’ gatekeeping role in sickness absence certification
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-12)Background General practitioners (GPs) have an important gatekeeping role in the Norwegian sickness insurance system. This role includes limiting access to paid sick leave when this is not justified according to sick leave criteria. 85% of GPs in Norway operate within a fee-for-service system that incentivises short consultations and high service provision. In this qualitative study, we explore ... -
Characterization and prognostic value of lymphatic vessels in an oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma cohort
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-21)Tumor lymphangiogenesis increases the area of interaction between lymphatic vessels and tumor cells, and may thereby facilitate metastases. In oral cancer high lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and large lymphatic vessel area (LVA) have been associated with more aggressive tumors, but results from different studies are not conclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the association of tumor-associated ... -

The effect of β-lactamase evolution on biofilm formation in Vibrio cholerae
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-05-15)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the greatest threats to public health in the 21st century. Especially, the production of -lactamase enzymes has become the leading cause of -lactam resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. In addition, many of the pathogens associated with extensive antimicrobial resistance form biofilms, which further increases their persistence. Studies from ... -
Kvalitet av legemiddelbruk og legemiddelinformasjon hos hoftebruddspasienter ved Sykehuset i Vestfold HF – en tverrsnittstudie
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-05-15)Det er i hovedsak eldre personer som gjennomgår hoftebrudd, som er et fryktet osteoporotisk brudd. Eldre har flere sykdommer som fører til at de blir behandlet med flere legemidler sammenlignet med yngre. Dette vil igjen øke risikoen for uhensiktsmessig legemiddelbruk. I tillegg overføres eldre hyppig inn og ut og mellom helseinstitusjoner, som skaper et behov for velfungerende informasjonsoverføring. ... -
