Curriculum factors influencing knowledge of communication skills among medical students
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-10-10)Background: Communication training builds on the assumption that understanding of the concepts related to professional communication facilitates the training. We know little about whether students' knowledge of clinical communication skills is affected by their attendance of communication training courses, or to what degree other elements of the clinical training or curriculum design also play a ... -
Å skape et hjem – kvinners plass i den tidlige institusjonsbyggingen. Nord-Norge før 1940
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)Scandinavian welfare research has paid more and more attention to the role played by women in building institutions for children, the sick and the elderly. The new institutions were generally called ”homes” and it was precisely this linkage between women and homes that may have led to clear perceptions of what the new ”homes” were like. Concepts like motherliness, homeliness and intimacy are ... -
Kvinneforeningene, institusjonsbyggingen og den nasjonale velferdspolitikken. Nord-Norge før 1940
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007)Hensikten med artikkelen er å belyse lokale kvinneforeningers innsats som institusjonsbyggere, hvilke samarbeidsrelasjoner og politiske maktforhold de inngikk i, og hvilken betydning deres innsats kan ha fått for utformingen av den norske velferdsstaten. Rettighetsaspektet i form av trygder og ytelser og den partipolitiske debatten rundt dette har fått stor plass i deler av den skandinaviske ... -
Characteristics of successfully implemented telemedical applications
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-07-27)Background: There has been an increased interest in the use of telemedical applications in clinical practice in recent years. Considerable effort has been invested in trials and experimental services. Yet, surprisingly few applications have continued beyond the research and development phase. The aim of this study is to explore characteristics of successfully implemented telemedical applications. ... -
A qualitative study of the learning processes in young physicians treating suicidal patients. From insecurity to personal pattern knowledge and self-confidence
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2007-07-06)Background: Little empirical work has been done in studying learning processes among newly educated physicians in the mental health field. The aim of the study was to shed light on the meaning of newly educated physicians' lived experiences of learning processes related to treating suicidal patients. Methods: Thirteen newly educated physicians narrated their learning experiences while treating ... -
Delayed leukocytosis after hard strength and endurance exercise. Aspects of regulatory mechanisms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2003-12-11)Background: During infections, polymorphonuclear neutrophilic granulocytes (PMN) are mobilized from their bone marrow stores, travel with blood to the affected tissue, and kill invading microbes there. The signal(s) from the inflammatory site to the marrow are unknown, even though a number of humoral factors that can mobilize PMN, are well known. We have employed a standardized, non-infectious ... -
Extravascular lung water assessed by transpulmonary single thermodilution and postmortem gravimetry in sheep
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2004-10-19)Introduction: Acute lung injury is associated with accumulation of extravascular lung water (EVLW). The aim of the present study was to compare two methods for quantification of EVLW: transpulmonary single thermodilution (EVLWST) and postmortem gravimetric (EVLWG). Methods: Eighteen instrumented and awake sheep were randomly assigned to one of three groups. All groups received Ringer's ... -
Tezosentan-induced attenuation of lung injury in endotoxemic sheep is associated with reduced activation of protein kinase C
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-03-04)Introduction: Studies in vitro reveal that endothelin-1 (ET-1) activates the α isoform of protein kinase C (PKC-α) in cultures of endothelial cells, thereby deranging cellular integrity. Sepsis and endotoxemia are associated with increased plasma concentrations of ET-1 that induce acute lung injury (ALI). We recently reported that non-selective ET-1 receptor blockade attenuates ALI in sheep by ... -
Tezosentan reduces the microvascular filtration coefficient in isolated lungs from rats subjected to cecum ligation and puncture
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2005-10-18)Introduction: We recently demonstrated that the non-selective endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor blocker tezosentan antagonizes ovine acute lung injury (ALI) following infusion of endotoxin or ET-1 by reducing the enhanced lung microvascular pressure, although we could not exclude the possibility of a simultaneous decline in microvascular permeability. In the present study, our aim was to find out if ... -
Evaluation of absolute quantitation by nonlinear regression in probe-based real-time PCR
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-03)Background In real-time PCR data analysis, the cycle threshold (CT) method is currently the gold standard. This method is based on an assumption of equal PCR efficiency in all reactions, and precision may suffer if this condition is not met. Nonlinear regression analysis (NLR) or curve fitting has therefore been suggested as an alternative to the cycle threshold method for absolute quantitation. ... -
Measuring extravascular lung water. Animals and humans are not the same
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-07-24)The evolution of extravascular lung water (EVLW) monitoring is an important step forward in the hemodynamic assessment of critically ill patients. -
Alpha-actinin-binding antibodies in relation to systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-10-24)This study investigated the overall clinical impact of anti-α- actinin antibodies in patients with pre-selected autoimmune diseases and in a random group of anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)- positive individuals. The relation of anti-α-actinin antibodies with lupus nephritis and anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies represented a particular focus for the study. Using a cross-sectional ... -
Dealing with suicidal patients – a challenging task. A qualitative study of young physicians' experiences
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-08-23)Background: Suicide is a major public health problem and treating suicidal patients represents one of the most challenging and complex clinical situations for young physicians. Education of physicians is considered an important strategy in suicide prevention. Young physicians often meet suicidal patients early in their career. Limited information is available about how newly educated physicians ... -
District nursing between the local and the international. Northern Norway 1890-1940.
(Working paper; Arbeidsnotat, 2006)The article explores the history of voluntary district nursing in Northern Norway 1880- 1940. A popular movement of women’s associations met the tuberculosis epidemic, which peaked late in the North. District nursing was developed partly from the European movement of Christian relief and sick care, partly from local traditions of neighbourly assistance. Local girls were trained and employed by local ...
