Colostrum og akutt påvirkning av serum IGF-1 : et pilotprosjekt for å vurdere utslag på framtidige dopingtester
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-09-15)Misbruk av veksthormon er mest aktuelt i idretter som krever styrke og lav fettprosent. Deteksjon av veksthormonbruk blant idrettsutøvere gjøres med et isoform ratio immunoassay utviklet for å skille mellom forholdet av veksthormonisoformer sett ved normale fysiologiske forhold, og de sett etter injeksjon av rekombinant veksthormon. Insulinlignende vekstfaktor-1 (IGF-1) medierer mange av veksthormons ... -
Comorbidity among patients admitted to the Department of Surgery, Hammerfest Hospital

Comorbidity and the burden of smoking, measured in pack years, amongst patients admitted to Finnmark Hospital Trust have never been investigated. Knowledge of these variables can presumably lead to better patient treatment and ... -

Cøliaki og dermatitis herpetiformis. Alene eller sammen - forskjeller i klassifisering og behandling?
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-05-07)Cøliaki er en autoimmun sykdom som i ubehandlet tilstand medfører redusert næringsopptak fra tynntarmen. Utbredelse av sykdom kan graderes ved en Marsh scoring ved mikroskopering av biopsier fra tarmen. Dermatitis herpetiformis er en hudsykdom som også er autoimmun og gir blemmedannelse i huden. Det er en sterk assosiasjon mellom DH og cøliaki, men DH kan forekomme uten at det er påvist cøliaki. ...
