Ambulance helicopter contribution to search and rescue in North Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-13)Background: Search and rescue (SAR) operations constitute a significant proportion of Norwegian ambulance helicopter missions, and they may limit the service’s capacity for medical operations. We compared the relative contribution of the different helicopter resources using a common definition of SAR-operation in order to investigate how the SAR workload had changed over the last years. Methods: We ... -
Ambulatory blood pressure as risk factor for long-term kidney function decline in the general population: a distributional regression approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-31)The results of randomized controlled trials are unclear about the long-term efect of blood pressure (BP) on kidney function assessed as the glomerular fltration rate (GFR) in persons without chronic kidney disease or diabetes. The limited duration of follow-up and use of imprecise methods for assessing BP and GFR are important reasons why this issue has not been settled. Since a long-term randomized ... -
Ambulatory vocal acoustics, temporal dynamics, and serious mental illness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019)Acoustic analysis of vocal expression offers a potentially inexpensive, unobtrusive, and highly sensitive biobehavioral measure of serious mental illness (SMI)-related issues. Despite literature documenting its use for understanding SMI, prior studies have largely ignored that vocal expression is highly dynamic within individuals over time. We employed ambulatory vocal assessment from SMI outpatients ... -

Anal Sphincter Length as Determined by 3-Dimensional Endoanal Ultrasound and Anal Manometry: A Study in Healthy Nulliparous Women
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-23)<i>Objectives</i> - The normal female external anal sphincter (EAS) is shorter anteriorly than laterally and posteriorly. Furthermore, the thickness of the very proximal part of the circular EAS is thinner than 50% of the lateral and posterior EAS thickness. The extent of these features is not fully explored. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the normal anal sphincter with 3‐dimensional ... -
Analysing mHealth usage logs in RCTs: Explaining participants’ interactions with type 2 diabetes self-management tools
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-30)<p><i>Background</i>: The Introduction of mobile health (mHealth) devices to health intervention studies challenges us as researchers to adapt how we analyse the impact of these technologies. For interventions involving chronic illness self-management, we must consider changes in behaviour in addition to changes in health. Fortunately, these mHealth technologies can record participants’ interactions ... -
Analysis of Antibiotic Exposure and Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Europe, North America, and Australia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-23)<p><b> IMPORTANCE</b> Appropriate use of antibiotics is life-saving in neonatal early-onset sepsis (EOS), but overuse of antibiotics is associated with antimicrobial resistance and long-term adverse outcomes. Large international studies quantifying early-life antibiotic exposure along with EOS incidence are needed to provide a basis for future interventions aimed at safely reducing neonatal ... -
Analysis of methylation data with imputation with blocks (MethylBlocks)
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)<p><i>Background -</i> Analysis of methylation data is dependent on two inputs. The total number of reads at any given cytosine site (coverage), and how many of those cytosines are methylated (methylation). Both the large number of sites and low coverage can cause problems in the analysis of methylation data. Likewise finding DMR is computationally and statistically challenging. Here we present a ... -
Analysis of the immune microenvironment in resected non-small cell lung cancer: The prognostic value of different T lymphocyte markers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains poor and heterogeneous and new biomarkers are needed. As the immune system plays a pivotal role in cancer, the study of immune-related markers may provide valuable prognostic information of NSCLC. In 122 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples from early-stage NSCLC, tumor and tumor-near stromal areas were microdissected and ... -
Antenatal breastmilk expression for women with diabetes in pregnancy - a feasibility study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-23)<p>Background: Mothers with diabetes are less likely to achieve successful breastfeeding. Antenatal breastmilk expression (ABE) may facilitate earlier breastfeeding, but feasibility of introducing ABE and its acceptance among Scandinavian women have previously not been investigated. <p>Methods: This observational trial was conducted between the 1 January 2019 and the 12 March 2020 in Tromsø, Norway. ... -

Anti-apoptotic genes and non-coding RNAs are potential outcome predictors for ulcerative colitis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-18)Due to the lack of clinical, immunologic, genetic, and laboratory markers to predict remission in ulcerative colitis (UC) without relapse, there is no clear recommendation regarding withdrawal of therapy. Therefore, this study was to investigate if transcriptional analysis together with Cox survival analysis might be able to reveal molecular markers that are specific for remission duration and ... -
