Background - Cementing technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may influence implant survival. There is limited knowledge about the results with clinically used techniques. The aim of this study was to investigate cementing techniques for TKA in Norwegian hospitals, to compare widely used techniques to recommendations from the literature, and to investigate variation within hospitals.<p> <p>Methods ...

Denne rapporten omhandler bærekraft og lokalmatproduksjon i Arktis og presenterer resultater fra en litteraturanalyse og to workshoper med ystere fra Nord-Norge. <p> <p>Resultatene fra workshopene viser at ysterne har et helhetlig og reflektert forhold til bærekraft. Ystenæringa i Arktis har en rekke muligheter og styrker når det gjelder å bidra til bærekraft, men det er krevende å sikre en ...

The New Horizons spacecraft has travelled through the Solar System and has reached a distance of 55 AU as of 2023. For one of the first times, the dust flux in the outer Solar System has been measured, using the instrument Student Dust Counter (SDC) onboard New Horizons. Between 30 and 50 AU is the Kuiper belt, which is a disk consisting of icy objects. These objects can undergo collisions, causing ...

Background: In the later years, interdisciplinary rehabilitation for patients with PPCS after mTBI have been developed in several locations in Norway. Physical therapy is a natural part of the rehabilitation; however, little is known about their contribution towards the interdisciplinary rehabilitation of patients with PPCS. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide increased insight regarding ...

Bakgrunn og hensikt: Rock steady boksing, en terapeutisk boksestil, har de siste årene fått fotfeste i Norge som et alternativt behandlingskonsept for personer med Parkinsons sykdom (PS). Denne behandlingsformen tilbys primært av kampsportklubber. Det er lite kunnskap om hvordan terapeutisk boksing knyttet til fysioterapi erfares for denne pasientgruppen. Hensikten med denne studien er å få innsikt ...

Purpose: To investigate the influence of menstrual-cycle (MC) phase on measures of recovery status, that is, resting heart rate, perceived sleep quality, and physical and mental readiness to train, among female endurance athletes. <p> <p>Methods: Daily data were recorded during 1 to 4 MCs (ie, duration ≥21 and ≤35 d, ovulatory, luteal phase ≥10 d) of 41 trained-to-elite-level female endurance ...

Public health nursing is grounded in public health ideologies and fundamental nursing values. Researchers have argued that ethical responsibility from the perspective of the nurse is an understudied phenomenon. This meta-ethnography provides in-depth knowledge of how public health nurses (PHNs) experience ethical responsibility when working to prevent injury and disease, and promote health and ...

Background: Social-to-biological processes is one set of mechanisms underlying the relationship between social position and health. However, very few studies have focused on the relationship between social factors and biology at multiple time points. This work investigates the relationship between education and the dynamic changes in a composite Biological Health Score (BHS) using two time points ...

The implementation of piezoelectric sensors is degraded due to surface defects, delamination, and extreme weathering conditions, to mention a few. Hence, the sensor needs to be diagnosed before the efficacious implementation in the structural health monitoring (SHM) framework. To rescue the problem, a novel experimental method based on Coulomb coupling is utilised to visualise the evolution of ...

Brand names are valuable company assets often accompanied by a unique graphical composition (i.e., as logotypes). Recent research has demonstrated that this uniqueness makes brand names and logotypes susceptible to counterfeiting through misspelling by transposition in tasks that require participants to identify correct spellings. However, our understanding of how brand names are incidentally ...
