    • High Levels of Complement Activating Enzyme MASP-2 Are Associated With the Risk of Future Incident Venous Thromboembolism 

      Damoah, Christabel Esi; Snir, Omri; Hindberg, Kristian Dalsbø; Garred, Peter; Ludviksen, Judith K; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Morelli, Vania Maris; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hansen, John Bjarne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-21)
      Background: Experimental studies have shown that the complement activating enzyme MASP-2 (mannose-binding lectin associated serine protease 2) exhibits a thrombin-like activity and that inhibition of MASP-2 protects against thrombosis. In this study, we investigated whether plasma MASP-2 levels were associated with risk of future venous thromboembolism (VTE) and whether genetic variants linked to ...

      Sæther, Linn Sofie; Ueland, Thor; Haatveit, Beathe; Maglanoc, Luigi; Szabo, Attila; Djurovic, Srdjan; Aukrust, Pål; Roelfs, Daniël; Ormerod, Monica Bettina E. Greenwood; Lagerberg, Trine Vik; Steen, Nils Eiel; Melle, Ingrid; Andreassen, Ole; Ueland, Torill; Mohn, Christine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-28)
      A potential relationship between dysregulation of immune/inflammatory pathways and cognitive impairment has been suggested in severe mental illnesses (SMI), such as schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar (BD) spectrum disorders. However, multivariate relationships between peripheral inflammatory/immune-related markers and cognitive domains are unclear, and many studies do not account for inter-individual ...

      Nordal, Ellen Berit; Granslo, Hildegunn Norbakken; Esaiassen, Eirin; Leknessund, Carina Benedikte Bjørkvoll; Forsdahl, Bård Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)
      Vi er inne i en hektisk sesong med virale luftveisinfeksjoner. Respiratorisk syncytialvirus (RS-virus) er den hyppigste årsaken til bronkiolitt hos barn. Pediatriveilederen er tydelig på at perorale glukokortikoider ikke har noen plass i behandlingen av bronkiolitt og at det sjelden er behov for antibiotika.

    • Reflections on the nature of measurement in language-based automated assessments of patients' mental state and cognitive function 

      Foltz, Peter W.; Chandler, Chelsea; Diaz-Asper, Catherine; Cohen, Alex S.; Rodriguez, Zachary; Holmlund, Terje Bektesevic; Elvevåg, Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-22)
      Modern advances in computational language processing methods have enabled new approaches to the measurement of mental processes. However, the field has primarily focused on model accuracy in predicting performance on a task or a diagnostic category. Instead the field should be more focused on determining which computational analyses align best with the targeted neurocognitive/psychological functions ...

    • Health characteristics associated with chemsex among men who have sex with men: Results from a cross-sectional clinic survey in Norway 

      Amundsen, Eirik; Haugstvedt, Åse; Skogen, Vegard; Berg, Rigmor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-05)
      Background Chemsex typically involves drugs such as GHB/GBL, crystal meth and mephedrone, and is increasingly common among MSM. The behaviour has been found to be associated with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and mental health problems. We aimed to assess the extent of chemsex engagement and associations with different aspects of health, among MSM attending a free specialist walk-in clinic ...

    • Shortened Palliative Radiotherapy Results in a Lower Rate of Treatment During the Last Month of Life 

      Nieder, Carsten; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Mannsåker, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-25)
      Introduction Palliative radiotherapy (PRT) during the last month of life (PRT30) should be avoided because relevant clinical benefits are unlikely to occur. While traditional short-course fractionation regimens are suitable for most patients, a minority may derive gains from higher doses of PRT. Compared to older regimens such as 13 fractions of 3 Gy, more hypofractionated, non-ablative concepts ...

    • Markers of extracellular matrix remodeling and systemic inflammation in patients with heritable thoracic aortic diseases 

      Seim, Bjørn Edvard; Holt, Margrethe Flesvig; Ratajska, Aleksandra; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Ringseth, Monica Myklebust; Halvorsen, Bente; Skjelland, Mona; Kvitting, John-Peder; Lundblad, Runar; Krohg-Sørensen, Kirsten; Osnes, Liv T.

      Background: In approximately 20% of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms or dissections a heritable thoracic aortic disease (HTAD) is suspected. Several monogenic connective tissue diseases imply high risk of aortic disease, including both non-syndromic and syndromic forms. There are some studies assessing inflammation and extracellular matrix remodeling in patients with non-hereditary aortic ...
