    • Aerosol i tannhelseklinikken. Del 2: Tiltak for å begrense smitte 

      Gussgard, Anne Margrete; Valen, Håkon; Olsvik, Ørjan; Jokstad, Asbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Aerosoler blir generert i sammenheng med flere behandlingsprosedyrer og situasjoner i tannhelseklinikken. Aerosoler i tannhelseklinikken kan være infeksiøse og føre til smitte mellom tannhelsepersonell og pasienter. Forskjellige tiltak for å begrense smitte fra infeksiøs aerosol, beskrives og diskuteres. Det er urealistisk å forvente at lokale aerosoler kan elimineres i sammenheng med behandling i ...

    • Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Induced Oral Mucositis Using a Patient-Reported Oral Mucositis Experience Questionnaire 

      Gussgard, Anne Margrete; Hope, Andrew; Jokstad, Asbjørn; Tenenbaum, Howard; Wood, Robert (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Objectives Treatment of oral mucositis (OM) is challenging. In order to develop and test useful treatment approaches, the development of reliable, reproducible and simpler methods than are currently available for assessment of OM is important. A Patient-Reported Oral Mucositis Symptom (PROMS) scale was assessed in patients with head and neck cancer to determine if the patient-reported OM experience, ...

    • Cancer therapy-induced oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients 

      Gussgard, Anne Margrete (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-06-17)
      Background: Radiotherapy causes oral mucositis (OM) that is painful and disrupts eating, talking, social activities and general health. OM may even interrupt cancer therapy. Any intervention that can reduce OM will lead to improvement in treatment and quality of life for patients. It is essential to have a suitable tool to measure potentially effective and new treatments against OM. Objective: To ...
