    Årnes, Anders Pedersen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-04-16)
    <p><i>Background and aims:</i> Chronic pain is a major global health concern, yet causal mechanisms are not well understood. Physical activity is popular as prevention and treatment, possibly acting through a positive effect on endogenous pain modulation. This has not been examined in the general population. <p><i>Materials and methods:</i> We used data from the sixth and seventh surveys of the ...

    García-Vicente, Clara; Chushig-Muzo, David; Mora-Jimenez, Inmaculada; Fabelo, Himar; Gram, Inger Torhild; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Granja, Conceição; Soguero-Ruiz, Cristina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-21)
    Noncommunicable diseases are among the most significant health threats in our society, being cardiovascular diseases (CVD) the most prevalent. Because of the severity and prevalence of these illnesses, early detection and prevention are critical for reducing the worldwide health and economic burden. Though machine learning (ML) methods usually outperform conventional approaches in many domains, class ...

  • The inflammation repressor TNIP1/ABIN-1 is degraded by autophagy following TBK1 phosphorylation of its LIR 

    Rasmussen, Nikoline Lander; Zhou, Jianwen; Olsvik, Hallvard Lauritz; Kaeser-Pebernard, Stéphanie; Lamark, Trond; Dengjel, Joern; Johansen, Terje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-09)
    The inflammatory repressor TNIP1/ABIN-1 is important for keeping in check inflammatory and cell-death pathways to avoid potentially dangerous sustained activation of these pathways. We have now found that TNIP1 is rapidly degraded by selective macroautophagy/autophagy early (0–4 h) after activation of TLR3 by poly(I:C)-treatment to allow expression of pro-inflammatory genes and proteins. A few hours ...
  • Validation of eGFR for Detecting Associations Between Serum Protein Biomarkers and Subsequent GFR Decline 

    Enoksen, Inger Therese Tønsberg; Rinde, Nikoline Balteskard; Svistounov, Dmitri; Norvik, Jon Viljar Porserud; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Melsom, Toralf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08)
    Significance Statement - eGFR from creatinine, cystatin C, or both has been primarily used in search of biomarkers for GFR decline. Whether the relationships between biomarkers and eGFR decline are similar to associations with measured GFR (mGFR) decline has not been investigated. This study revealed that some biomarkers showed statistically significant different associations with eGFR decline ...

    Götsch, Arntraut; Averina, Maria; Brox, Jan; Huber, Sandra (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    In the times of pandemic, we experienced problems with supply bottlenecks for the solvents normally used for extraction and analysis of persistent organic pollutants (POPs; i.e. PCBs, PBDEs and organochlorine pesticides) in our laboratory and, considered to start using solvents from another producer alternatively. Since we analyze POPs at very low concentration levels and other consumables are ...
