Comparison of Compressive Stress-Relaxation Behavior in Osteoarthritic (ICRS Graded) Human Articular Cartilage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-31)Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disorder found mostly in elderly people. The role of mechanical behavior in the progression of OA is complex and remains unclear. The stress-relaxation behavior of human articular cartilage in clinically defined osteoarthritic stages may have importance in diagnosis and prognosis of OA. In this study, we investigated differences in the biomechanical responses ... -
A comparison of extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli from clinical, recreational water and wastewater samples associated in time and location
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-17)Extended spectrum β-lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) are excreted via effluents and sewage into the environment where they can re-contaminate humans and animals. The aim of this observational study was to detect and quantify ESBL-EC in recreational water and wastewater, and perform a genetic and phenotypic comparative analysis of the environmental strains with geographically associated ... -
Comparison of microbiomes in ulcerative and normal mucosa of recurrent aphthous stomatitis(RAS)-affected patients
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-29)<i>Background</i> - Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is the most common form of oral ulcerative disease, whose cause is still unknown. Researchers have found the association of many factors with the occurrence of RAS, and proposed oral bacterial infection could be a cause for this disease.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - To investigate whether the occurrence of RAS is associated with oral bacterial ... -
Complementary and alternative medicine for patients with chronic fatigue syndrome : a systematic review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)Throughout the world, patients with chronic diseases/illnesses use complementary and alternative medicines (CAM). The use of CAM is also substantial among patients with diseases/illnesses of unknown aetiology. Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also termed myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is no exception. Hence, a systematic review of randomised controlled trials of CAM treatments in patients with CFS/ME ... -
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Use among Norwegian Cancer Survivors: Gender-Specific Prevalence and Associations for Use
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The associations for CAM use are only occasionally differentiated by gender in populations where both male and female cancer survivors occur. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of CAM use in individuals with a previous cancer diagnosis and to investigate gender differences regard to factors associated with use. A total of 12982 men and women filled in a questionnaire with questions ... -
Complete Genome Sequences of 12 Quinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli Strains Containing qnrS1 Based on Hybrid Assemblies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-28)In total, 12 quinolone-resistant <i>Escherichia coli</i> (QREC) strains containing <i>qnrS1</i> were submitted to long-read sequencing using a FLO-MIN106 flow cell on a MinION device. The long reads were assembled with short reads (Illumina) and analyzed using the MOB-suite pipeline. Six of these QREC genome sequences were closed after hybrid assembly. -
Complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the Arctic Ocean codfishes Arctogadus glacialis and Boreogadus saida reveal oriL and tRNA gene duplications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-05-27)We have determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequences of the codWshes Arctogadus glacialis and Boreogadus saida (Order Gadiformes, Family Gadidae). The 16,644 bp and 16,745 bp mtDNAs, respectively, contain the same set of 37 structural genes found in all vertebrates analyzed so far. The gene organization is conserved compared to other Gadidae species, but with one notable exception. ... -

The complexity of managing COPD exacerbations: a grounded theory study of European general practice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)To understand the concerns and challenges faced by general practitioners (GPs) and respiratory physicians about primary care management of acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 21 focus group discussions (FGDs) were performed in seven countries with a Grounded Theory approach. Each country performed three rounds of FGDs. Primary and secondary care in ... -
Comprehensive molecular, genomic and phenotypic analysis of a major clone of Enterococcus faecalis MLST ST40
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-12)Background: Enterococcus faecalis is a multifaceted microorganism known to act as a beneficial intestinal commensal bacterium. It is also a dreaded nosocomial pathogen causing life-threatening infections in hospitalised patients. Isolates of a distinct MLST type ST40 represent the most frequent strain type of this species, distributed worldwide and originating from various sources (animal, human, ... -
Comprehensive N-glycan profiles of hepatocellular carcinoma reveal association of fucosylation with tumor progression and regulation of FUT8 by microRNAs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Glycosylation has significant effects on cancer progression. Fucosylation is one of the most important glycosylation events involved in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we compared N-glycan profiles of liver tumor tissues and adjacent tissues of 27 HCC patients to reveal the association between fucosylation and HCC progression, as well as verified the potential role of miRNA in regulating ... -
The Computed Sinusoid
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-11)Hepatic sinusoids are lined with thin endothelial cells with transcellular pores, termed fenestrations. These fenestrations are open channels that connect the sinusoidal lumen to the underlying Space of Disse (SoD) and the hepatocytes of the liver parenchyma. Fenestrations range from 0.05 to 0.35 µm in diameter and cover 5–15% of the sinusoidal endothelial surface area, depending on their location ... -
Concentrations and geographical variations of selected toxic elements in meat from semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) in Mid- and Northern Norway : evaluation of risk assessment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Meat samples (n = 100) from semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus L.) were randomly collected from 10 grazing districts distributed over four Norwegian counties in 2008 and 2009.

Consensus guidelines for the definition, detection and interpretation of immunogenic cell death
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-09)Cells succumbing to stress via regulated cell death (RCD) can initiate an adaptive immune response associated with immunological memory, provided they display sufficient antigenicity and adjuvanticity. Moreover, multiple intracellular and microenvironmental features determine the propensity of RCD to drive adaptive immunity. Here, we provide an updated operational definition of immunogenic cell death ... -

Content of endothelial progenitor cells in autologous stem cellgrafts predict survival after transplantation for multiplemyeloma
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-14)Multiple myeloma (MM) is considered an incurable B cell malignancy, although many patients can benefit from high-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) as a first-line treatment. In nonHodgkin lymphoma (NHL), ASCT is usually performed after relapse with curative intent. Disease progression is often associated with increased angiogenesis, in which endothelial progenitor cells ...
