A young man with acute dilated cardiomyopathy associated with methylphenidate.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2008)An 18-year-old obese man with a body mass index of 40, diagnosed with attention-defi cit hyperactivity disorder and treated with methylphenidate (Concerta®) was acutely admitted to hospital with hypoxia and dyspnoea. On investigation signs of liver-, renal-, and heart-failure were found. Noradrenalin infusion was started. Echocardiography showed dilated left ventricle and an ejection fraction (EF) ... -

Gene expression analyses in breast cancer epidemiology: the Norwegian Women and Cancer postgenome cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-13)Introduction: The introduction of high-throughput technologies, also called -omics technologies, into epidemiology has raised the need for high-quality observational studies to reduce several sources of error and bias. Methods: The Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) postgenome cohort study consists of approximately 50,000 women born between 1943 and 1957 who gave blood samples between 2003 ... -
Vasopressin impairs brain, heart and kidney perfusion: an experimental study in pigs after transient myocardial ischemia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-02-21)Introduction: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is increasingly used to restore mean arterial pressure (MAP) in low-pressure shock states unresponsive to conventional inotropes. This is potentially deleterious since AVP is also known to reduce cardiac output by increasing vascular resistance. The effects of AVP on blood flow to vital organs and cardiac performance in a circulation altered by cardiac ... -

Correcting biases in psychiatric diagnostic practice in Northwest Russia : comparing the impact of a general educational program and a specific diagnostic training program
(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 ... -
Treatment needs and acknowledgement of illness : importance for satisfaction with psychiatric inpatient treatment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-05-14)Background: Patient satisfaction is an important, but controversial part of health service evaluation. This study dealt with how acknowledgement of illness and treatment needs effected the distribution of positive, neutral and negative evaluations in a group of first time admitted patients to a psychiatric hospital. <br> Method: The participants filled out a standardized user satisfaction form ... -
Should the surgeon or the general practitioner (GP) follow up patients after surgery for colon cancer? A randomized controlled trial protocol focusing on quality of life, cost-effectiveness and serious clinical events
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2008-06-25)Background: All patients who undergo surgery for colon cancer are followed up according to the guidelines of the Norwegian Gastrointestinal Cancer Group (NGICG). These guidelines state that the aims of follow-up after surgery are to perform quality assessment, provide support and improve survival. In Norway, most of these patients are followed up in a hospital setting. We describe a multi-centre ... -
Have Changes in Systemic Treatment Improved Survival in Patients with Breast Cancer Metastatic to the Brain?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-07-16)Newly developed systemic treatment regimens might lead to improved survival also in the subgroup of breast cancer patients that harbour brain metastases. In order to examine this hypothesis, a matched pairs analysis was performed that involved one group of patients, which were treated after these new drugs were introduced, and one group of patients, which were treated approximately 10 years earlier. ... -
Alpha-mannosidosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-07-23)Alpha-mannosidosis is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by immune deficiency, facial and skeletal abnormalities, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability. It occurs in approximately 1 of 500,000 live births. The children are often born apparently normal, and their condition worsens progressively. Some children are born with ankle equinus or develop hydrocephalus in the ... -
The One-stop trial : does electronic referral and booking by the general practitioner (GPs) to outpatient day case surgery reduce waiting time and costs? A randomized controlled trial protocol
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2008-08-11)Background: Waiting time and costs from referral to day case outpatient surgery are at an unacceptably high level. The waiting time in Norway averages 240 days for common surgical conditions. Furthermore, in North Norway the population is scattered throughout a large geographic area, making the cost of travel to a specialist examination before surgery considerable. Electronic standardised referrals ... -
Recombinant human activated protein C attenuates endotoxin-induced lung injury in awake sheep
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-15)Introduction: Acute lung injury often complicates severe sepsis. In Gram-negative sepsis, bacterial endotoxin activates both coagulation and inflammation. Enhanced lung vascular pressures and permeability, increased extravascular lung water content and deteriorated gas exchange characterize ovine endotoxin-induced lung injury, a frequently used model of acute lung injury. Recombinant human ... -
CHEK2 Mutations Affecting Kinase Activity Together With Mutations in TP53 Indicate a Functional Pathway Associated with Resistance to Epirubicin in Primary Breast Cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-08-26)Background Chemoresistance is the main obstacle to cure in most malignant diseases. Anthracyclines are among the main drugs used for breast cancer therapy and in many other malignant conditions. Single parameter analysis or global gene expression profiles have failed to identify mechanisms causing in vivo resistance to anthracyclines. While we previously found TP53 mutations in the L2/L3 domains to ... -

Presentation and course of brain metastases from breast cancer in a paranoid-schizophrenic patient : a case report
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-09-30)Case presentation: This is an unusual case where a 49-year old female patient with known schizophrenia, paranoid type and a history of early-stage breast cancer, which was treated more than 6 years earlier, attempted suicide. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging after this incident revealed the presence of multiple brain metastases as the first symptomatic site of recurrent cancer. ... -
Recombinant human activated protein C ameliorates oleic acid-induced lung injury in awake sheep
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-11-20)Introduction: Acute lung injury (ALI) may arise both after sepsis and non-septic inflammatory conditions and is often associated with the release of fatty acids, including oleic acid (OA). Infusion of OA has been used extensively to mimic ALI. Recent research has revealed that intravenously administered recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC) is able to counteract ALI. Our aim was to ... -
