Smoking and incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-06-05)Smoking is one of the most important causes of cancer and premature death worldwide. Two different reports, the most recent monograph published by International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in 2012 and the Unites States Surgeon General’s report of 2014, concluded that smoking is risk factor for both colon and rectal cancer. In addition to being one of the most common cancers in Norway, ... -
Safety of Treatment Provided by Homeopaths Homeopathic Aggravations, Adverse Effects and Risk Assessment
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-03-28)Introduction Homeopathic treatment has a long tradition. Because of its widespread use as alternative therapy in Norway and Europe, but also in nations such as India, investigation into patient safety related to homeopathic treatment is important. Risk in homeopathy can be divided into direct and indirect risk. Direct risk is directly linked to the intervention itself while indirect risk is related ... -
Prognostic markers in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-06-20)Avhandlingen er basert på 5 artikler. Vi har retrospektivt innhentet klinisk informasjon om 133 pasienter diagnostisert med cancer i munnhulen ved UNN i perioden 1986-2001, og laget Tissue Micro Arrays (TMA) av tumorvev fra de respektive pasientenes svulster. Den første artikkelen er en epidemiologisk beskrivelse av materialet. Artikkel 2 og 3 omfatter ulike potensielle prognostiske markører for ... -
Postoperative insulin resistance and the metabolic and cellular responses to single-dose preoperative oral carbohydrate supplementation – Experimental studies in pigs
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-06-17)Gjennom en serie eksperimentelle studier på gris, inkludert etablering av en målemetode for utvikling av akutt insulinresistens, ble endringer i insulinsensitivitet og i lever- og skjelettmuskelceller undersøkt etter et stort kirurgisk inngrep. Resultatene viser at de cellulære endringene som ledsager utvikling av insulinresistens etter kirurgi har mange likhetstrekk med de endringer man ser ved ... -
e-Rehabilitation: Design and Effectiveness of a Tailored Internet- and Mobile-based Intervention to Support Maintenance of Physical Activity after Cardiac Rehabilitation
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-05-05)Hovedmålet i prosjektet var å tilby en effektiv Internet- og mobiltelefonbasert støtte til opprettholdelse av fysisk aktivitet hos hjerte-kar pasienter etter et rehabiliteringsopphold. For å få laget et godt støtteprogram som både var var effektivt i forhold til å støtte livsstilsending og meningsfullt å bruke ble innspill fra brukerne kombinert med et sterkt teoretisk rammeverk (modeller for ... -

Structure, function and inhibition of the serotonin transporter studied by molecular docking, -dynamics and virtual screening
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-09-16)Den tre-dimensjonale (3D) strukturen til serotonin-transporteren er ukjent og arbeidet som beskrives i avhandlingen er basert på teoretiske 3D-modeller av transporteren. Modellene har blitt brukt til å simulere bevegelsene i transporterstrukturen som skjer når serotonin transporteres samt til å studere hvordan forbindelser som blokkerer transporten binder til transporteren. For å gjøre det sistnevnte ... -
Cardiometabolic adaptations to altered fuel supply, Ca2+ handling and exercise
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2011-05-06)The thesis consists of experimental studies elucidating the mechanisms that contribute to changes in cardiac efficiency by i) the increase in fatty acid supply to the heart (chronic and acute), ii) changes in cardiac calcium handling and iii) physical exercise. By measuring the heart's oxygen consumption for both mechanical and non-mechanical processes, we have shown for the first time, that oxygen-cost ... -

Mental health promotion in young children : parents as a key to the identification and reduction of risk for development of disruptive behavior problems.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2010-12-03)The main aim of this dissertation was threefold. First, to establish norms for a psychometric inventory used to assess behavior problems. The project presents the first Norwegian standardization of an assessment tool specifically designed to measure childhood conduct problems. Norwegian norms for the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI; Robinson, Eyberg, & Ross, 1980) based on data obtained ... -
Diet, physical activity and venous thromboembolism
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-01-17)Summary There is substantial evidence for the influence of life-style factors on the incidence of arterial thromboembolic diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke. However, limited knowledge exists on the relation between life-style factors and venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE, a collective term for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a common disease with serious short- and ... -
Prenatal exposure to DDT and other selected environmental contaminants and their predictors in malaria and non-malaria areas in coastal KwaZulu Natal, South Africa
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-02-20)Prenatal exposure to environmental toxicants is of major concern, as foetal development is one of the most sensitive life stages for endogenous and exogenous insults. Permeability of the placenta allows not only for environmental contaminants, but also contaminants released from maternal body stores during pregnancy, to be transferred to the foetus. Most of the exposure assessments in pregnant women ...
