      Background Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is used as a measure of coronary endothelial function. We investigated the effect of increased afterload on CFR of pregnant and non-pregnant rats. Methods Afterload increase in Wister rats (both pregnant and non-pregnant) was achieved by the infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) for ~10 days or by subjecting them to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) ...

    • Correcting biases in psychiatric diagnostic practice in Northwest Russia : comparing the impact of a general educational program and a specific diagnostic training program 

      Rezvyy, Grigory; Olstad, Reidun; Parniakov, Alexander; Fedulova, Elena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-04-04)
      Background: A general education in psychiatry does not necessary lead to good diagnostic skills. Specific training programs in diagnostic coding are established to facilitate implementation of ICD-10 coding practices. However, studies comparing the impact of these two different educational approaches on diagnostic skills are lacking. The aim of the current study was to find out if a specific ...

    • Correlation between article download and citation figures for highly accessed articles from five open access oncology journals 

      Nieder, Carsten; Dalhaug, Astrid; Aandahl, Gro (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Different approaches can be chosen to quantify the impact and merits of scientific oncology publications. These include source of publication (including journal reputation and impact factor), whether or not articles are cited by others, and access/download figures. When relying on citation counts, one needs to obtain access to citation databases and has to consider that results differ from one ...

      Melsom, Toralf; Nair, Viji; Schei, Jørgen; Mariani, Laura; Stefansson, Vidar Tor Nyborg; Harder, Jennifer L.; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Norvik, Jon Viljar; Looker, Helen; Knowler, William C.; Kretzler, Matthias; Nelson, Robert G.; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-28)
      <p><i>Rationale & Objective - </i>An elevated glomerular filtration rate (GFR), or renal hyperfiltration, may predispose individuals to subsequent rapid GFR decline in diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. Although this hypothesis is supported by results of experimental studies, the importance of hyperfiltration at the population level remains controversial. We investigated whether higher ...

    • Cortical bone structure of the proximal femur and incident fractures 

      Nissen, Frida Igland; Andreasen, Camilla; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Hansen, Ann Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-04)
      Purpose: Fracture risk is most frequently assessed using Dual X-ray absorptiometry to measure areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). However, these approaches have limitations and additional bone measurements may enhance the predictive ability of these existing tools. Increased cortical porosity has been associated with incident fracture in some ...

    • Criteria for failure and worsening after surgery for lumbar disc herniation: a multicenter observational study based on data from the Norwegian Registry for Spine Surgery 

      Werner, David Andreas Thomas; Grotle, Margreth; Gulati, Sasha; Austevoll, Ivar M.; Lønne, Greger; Nygaard, Øystein P.; Solberg, Tore K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-14)
      PURPOSE: In clinical decision-making, it is crucial to discuss the probability of adverse outcomes with the patient. A large proportion of the outcomes are difficult to classify as either failure or success. Consequently, cutoff values in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for "failure" and "worsening" are likely to be different from those of "non-success". The aim of this study was to identify ...

    • Cryoneurolysis for cervicogenic headache - A double blinded randomized controlled study 

      Kvarstein, Gunnvald; Högström, Henrik; Allen, Sara Maria; Rosland, Jan Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-09-13)
      Background and aims - Cervicogenic headache (CEH) is a debilitating condition and analgesics have limited effect. Percutaneous cryoneurolysis is thus still in use although the clinical evidence is lacking. We present a randomized, controlled study to assess the clinical efficacy of cryoneurolysis compared with a corticosteroid combined with a local anaesthetic. <p> <p>Methods - In a university-based ...

    • Crystallized but not soluble uric acid elicits pro-inflammatory response in short-term whole blood cultures from healthy men 

      Brovold, Henrik; Lund, Trine; Svistounov, Dmitri; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Ytrehus, Kirsti; Zykova, Svetlana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-19)
      Several epidemiological studies have pointed at serum uric acid (SUA) as an independent risk factor for mortality, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular and kidney disease; however, no clear pathogenic pathway is established. Uric acid (UA) crystals show pro-inflammatory properties and can thus create or contribute to the state of chronic low-grade inflammation, a widely accepted pathogenic mechanism ...
