In addition, the growing problem of resistance to azole drugs used in current treatments emphasizes the need for superior treatment options. Antimicrobial polyphenols are ... -
Post-Fracture Risk Assessment: Target The Centrally Sited Fractures First! A Sub-Study of NoFRACT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-16)The location of osteoporotic fragility fractures adds crucial information to post‐fracture risk estimation. Triaging patients according to fracture site for secondary fracture prevention can therefore be of interest to prioritize patients considering the high imminent fracture risk. The objectives of this cross‐sectional study were therefore to explore potential differences between central (vertebral, ... -
Encephalitis and aseptic meningitis: short-term and long-term outcome, quality of life and neuropsychological functioning
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-06)For those surviving encephalitis, the influence on daily life of patients and their relatives may be substantial. In contrast, the prognosis after aseptic meningitis (ASM) is considered good. In this prospective study in patients with encephalitis (n = 20) and ASM (n = 46), we show that both groups experienced reduced Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) at two months after discharge, and that ... -
Effects of vitamin D supplementation on bone turnover markers and other bone-related substances in subjects with vitamin D deficiency
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-05)In observational studies, vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for low bone density and future fractures, whereas a causal relation has been difficult to show in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Similarly, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased bone turnover, but RCTs with vitamin D have not shown conclusive effects. This could be due to inclusion of vitamin D sufficient subjects ... -
Delayed clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in young, healthy obese subjects
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-15)Obesity is associated with the metabolic syndrome. The aims were, first, to study the postprandial triglyceride clearance in young, healthy obese subjects and, second, to investigate if fasting triglycerides can predict delayed postprandial triglyceride clearance. Eighteen apparently healthy, obese subjects with no clinical signs of metabolic disturbances participated. Controls were age‐ and ... -
Postprandial leptin and adiponectin in response to sugar and fat in obese and normal weight individuals
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-11)<p><i>Purpose - </i>Adipokines produced by white adipose tissue are central in the development of lifestyle diseases.

Characterization of gut microbiota composition and functions in patients with chronic alcohol overconsumption
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-20)Excessive alcohol intake can alter the gut microbiota, which may underlie the pathophysiology of alcohol-related diseases. We examined gut microbiota composition and functions in patients with alcohol overconsumption for >10 years, compared to a control group of patients with a history of no or low alcohol intake. Faecal microbiota composition was assessed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Gut microbiota ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-20)<i>Background & aims</i> - Although malnutrition is thought to be common among patients with intraabdominal diseases and is recognized as a risk factor for postoperative complications, diagnostic criteria for malnutrition have not been consistent. Thus, the Global Leadership Initiative in Malnutrition (GLIM) has recently published new criteria for malnutrition. The aims of this study were to investigate ... -

Moving psychological assessment out of the controlled laboratory setting: Practical challenges
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03)Behavioral assessment using smart devices affords novel methods, notably remote self-administration by the individuals themselves. However, this new approach requires navigating complex legal and technical terrain. Given the limited empirical data that currently exists, we provide and discuss anecdotes of the methodological, technical, legal, and cultural issues associated with an implementation in ... -
Head to head comparison of two commercial fecal calprotectin kits as predictor of Mayo endoscopic sub-score and mucosal TNF expression in ulcerative colitis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-02)<i>Background</i> - Fecal calprotectin is widely used to monitor disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Multiple commercial kits exist, however, since the analyses are not standardized, these kits cannot be used interchangeably. We aimed to perform a technical evaluation of two kits (Calpro from Calprolab, Norway and Calprest from Eurospital, Italy) and perform a tuning for ... -
