      Purpose: To evaluate the influence of coma on manifest refractive cylinder (MRC) in eyes with coma-dominated corneal optics and suggest alternative guidelines for surgical planning of astigmatism correction in topography-guided ablation and toric intraocular lens (IOL) exchange surgery.<p> <p>Methods: Twelve eyes with coma-dominant corneal optics and low lenticular astigmatism were selected. The ...
    • Endovascular thrombectomy and intra-arterial interventions for acute ischaemic stroke 

      Roaldsen, Melinda Berg; Jusufovic, Mirza; Berge, Eivind; Lindekleiv, Haakon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-14)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Most disabling strokes are due to a blockage of a large artery in the brain by a blood clot. Prompt removal of the clot with intra‐arterial thrombolytic drugs or mechanical devices, or both, can restore blood flow before major brain damage has occurred, leading to improved recovery. However, these so‐called endovascular interventions can cause bleeding in the brain. This is a ...
    • Exercise Systolic Blood Pressure at Moderate Workload Is Linearly Associated With Coronary Disease Risk in Healthy Men 

      Mariampillai, Julian Eek; Liestøl, Knut; Kjeldsen, Sverre; Prestgaard, Erik Edvard; Engeseth, Kristian; Bodegard, Johan; Berge, Eivind; Gjesdal, Knut; Erikssen, Jan Emil; Grundvold, Irene; Skretteberg, Torger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-18)
      There is no consensus on the definition of an exaggerated increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) during exercise. The aim was to explore a potential threshold for exercise SBP associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease in healthy men using repeated exercise testing. Two thousand fourteen healthy white male employees were recruited into the Oslo Ischemia Study during early 1970s. At ...
    • Stroke survivors’ priorities for research related to life after stroke 

      Rudberg, Ann-Sofie; Berge, Eivind; Laska, Ann-Charlotte; Jutterström, Stina; Näsman, Per; Sunnerhagen, Katharina S; Lundström, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-05)
      <i>Background</i> - Stroke has transitioned from an untreatable, unpreventable disease to a highly treatable and preventable disease over recent decades, and the number of stroke survivors is expected to increase. The number is also foreseen to grow larger as a result of an aging population. With an escalating number of stroke survivors, research on how to improve life after stroke is needed.<br>< ...
    • STudy of Antithrombotic Treatment after IntraCerebral Haemorrhage: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial 

      Larsen, Kristin Tveitan; Forfang, Elisabeth; Pennlert, Johanna; Glader, Eva-Lotta; Kruuse, Christina; Wester, Per; Ihle-Hansen, Hege; Carlsson, Maria; Berge, Eivind; Al-Shahi Salman, Rustam; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Rønning, Ole M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-03)
      Background and aims - Many patients with prior intracerebral haemorrhage have indications for antithrombotic treatment with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs for prevention of ischaemic events, but it is uncertain whether such treatment is beneficial after intracerebral haemorrhage. STudy of Antithrombotic Treatment after IntraCerebral Haemorrhage will assess (i) the effects of long-term antithrombotic ...
    • Tenecteplase in wake-up ischemic stroke trial: Protocol for a randomized-controlled trial 

      Roaldsen, Melinda Berg; Lindekleiv, Haakon; Eltoft, Agnethe; Jusufovic, Mirza; Søyland, Mary-Helen; Petersson, Jesper; Indredavik, Bent; Tveiten, Arnstein; Putaala, Jukka; Christensen, Hanne; Kõrv, Janika; Jatužis, Dalius; Engelter, Stefan T.; Marco De Marchis, Gian; Wilsgaard, Tom; Werring, David; Robinson, Thompson; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Berge, Eivind (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-14)
      <p>Background: Patients with wake-up ischemic stroke who have evidence of salvageable tissue on advanced imaging can benefit from intravenous thrombolysis. It is not known whether patients who do not fulfil such imaging criteria might benefit from treatment, but studies indicate that treatment based on non-contrast CT criteria may be safe. Tenecteplase has shown promising results in patients with ...
