Boosting and nudging people to make smart back-country decisions: The case of Norway
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2024-09-23)Each year, alongside Norwegians, a concerning number of visiting backcountry ski-tourists lose their lives to avalanches in Norway. How do you support people to make smart decisions in a highrisk environment where regulations are few and people are left more or less to their own devices in choosing how to manage their winter mountain activity? Norway’s ethos of friluftsliv in a country with a ... -
Proximal-distal anatomical relationships between spermatocysts (Sertoli – germ cellunits) and eosinophilic immune system elements in the shark testis: a comparative study of the Greenland shark and thresher shark
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-04-11)Despite lacking a voluminous testis-associated lymphomyeloid tissue (epigonal organ) in adulthood, the far distally located non-spermatogenic tissue of the wild-captured Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) houses loosely circumscribed, granulocyte-liberating epigonal cell patches. These dynamic patches of epigonal cells are coincident with the differentiation and subsequent distribution ... -
The Cost of Low Interest: How Study Work Suffers When Interest Is Low
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2024-04-15)A high level of interest has repeatedly been found to be associated with positive outcomes in learning, motivation, and attention. Yet, the consequences of low interest have received little attention. The present study investigates the potential negative outcomes of low interest, focusing on increased perceived effort cost and its effect on task avoidance behaviors. Scales were used to assess degrees ... -
Tertiary lymphoid structures and inflammation in Systemic Lupus Erythematous and Sjögrens Disease
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-05-02)Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren’s disease (SjD) are autoimmune diseases, characterized by immune responses against the body’s own cells and tissues. Chronic inflammation may induce the formation of tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS), which might drive the disease progression. Approximately half of the SLE patients develop lupus nephritis (LN), a renal manifestation where autoantibodies ... -
Fracture liaison service (FLS) is associated with lower subsequent fragility fracture risk and mortality: NoFRACT (the Norwegian capture the fracture initiative)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-01-14)Summary - Subsequent fracture rates and associated mortality were compared before and after the introduction of fracture liaison service (FLS). In 100,198 women and men, FLS was associated with 13% and 10% lower risk of subsequent fragility fractures and 18% and 15% lower mortality. The study suggests that FLS may prevent fractures.<p> <p>Purpose - Efficient fracture prevention strategies are ... -

Variation in cancer treatment of elderly patients in Norway - Geographic, socioeconomic, and impact of timing
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-04-25)The risk of developing cancer increases with age, and the number of new cancer cases is expected to rise among the elderly due to an aging population, posing significant challenges to the health care system. This thesis investigated: (i) geographic and socioeconomic variations in curative treatment and choice of treatment modality for elderly patients with high-risk prostate cancer; (ii) geographic ... -
Mothers` experience with transitions in the process towards neonatal digital homecare
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2025-03-28)Objective - This study aimed to explore mothers` experiences with transitions from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to digital homecare.<p> <p>Methods - Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with five mothers whose preterm infants had received digital homecare from a NICU in Norway. All interviews were conducted through video call due to COVID-19 safety restrictions. Interview ... -
Team Effectiveness in General Practice: Insights from the Norwegian Primary Healthcare Team Pilot
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-04-15)This chapter provides insights into team effectiveness in general practice. It is based on a qualitative case study from five purposively recruited Norwegian general practices participating in a pilot for implementing primary healthcare teams. To assess team effectiveness, 41 individual and group interviews were performed in the practices. The data production and the analysis were guided by Hackman’s ... -
Tidsbruk i publikumsavdelinger på norske sykehusapotek – en tids- og bevegelsesstudie
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-23)Hensikt - Å kvantifisere tiden som apotekpersonell i publikumsavdelingen på to sykehusapotek brukte på ulike arbeidsoppgaver, hvor disse oppgavene ble utført og hvem de ansatte interagerte med.<p> <p>Materiale og metode - Apotekpersonell ble observert av ekstern observatør i en tids- og bevegelsesstudie.

Visualizing Patient Trajectories and Disorder Co-occurrences in Child and Adolescent Mental Health
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-12)Understanding patient trajectories and identifying patterns in episodes of care is critical for effective healthcare decision-making. We present a patient timeline visualization using clustered episodes of care derived from over 35 years of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) data. Patients were categorized into 12 groups based on three features: age group (preschoolers, middle ... -
Innovative nanofiber systems as antimicrobial wound dressings: The impact of biopolymers, liposomes and varying nanofiber complexities on chloramphenicol delivery
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-04-11)Chronic wounds are a worldwide burden, affecting both patients and healthcare systems and therefore novel treatment options are needed. The development of novel wound dressings with an antimicrobial effect can help to address the problem of chronic wound healing and chronic wound infections. We propose the use of nanofibers, which are scaffolds with a fibrous structure fabricated via electrospinning ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-05)Introduction - We have previously shown that immigrants have lower attendance in BreastScreen Norway than non-immigrants and that non-Western immigrants have lower incidence of breast cancer, but more advanced disease.<p> <p>Purpose - To compare breast cancer-specific survival for immigrants versus non-immigrants diagnosed with screen-detected or symptomatic breast cancer.<p> <p>Material and ... -
Liposomes in controlled drug delivery: Controlling drug release kinetics and biodistribution/pharmacokinetics
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2024-04-12)Controlling the release of liposomally associated drug is expected to directly impact the therapeutic potential of liposomal formulation, both as improved therapeutic efficacy as well as reduced unwanted effects of a drug. To fully control the efficacy of liposomally associated drug, the liposomes need to be able to both control the rate at which the drug is released from liposomal carrier as well ... -
Associations of heart rate, cognitive function, and retinal vascular calibers with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and age-related GFR decline in a healthy general population
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2025-04-07)Kronisk nyresykdom er en økende global helseutfordring, mye som følge av en aldrende befolkning samt bedre behandlinger av kroniske sykdommer som øker overlevelsesraten. Nyrefunksjonen, vurdert ved glomerulær filtrasjonsrate (GFR), avtar naturlig med alderen, men dette tas imidlertid ikke hensyn til i definisjonen av kronisk nyresykdom. Dette kan føre til overdiagnostisering hos personer med fysiologisk ... -
