(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-13)I denne masteroppgaven har jeg tatt for meg temaene digitalisering og sosial ulikhet innenfor helse. Problemstillingen som har blitt besvart er: Hvilken betydning kan økt digitalisering ha for sosial ulikhet innenfor helse? Problemstillingen er snevret inn med å bruke medisinsk avstandsoppfølging som case. For å svare på problemstillingen er dokumentanalyse benyttet som metode. Utvalget av dokumenter ... -
Mercury in fish from a subarctic watercourse and its relation to trophic ecology
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-16)Mercury (Hg) contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a serious concern because it can bioaccumulate and biomagnify to harmful concentrations within a food web and consequently end up in humans that eat polluted fish. The Pasvik watercourse, located in the border area between Norway, Finland and Russia, is strongly affected by the emissions of heavy metals from nearby Russian metallurgic smelters. In ... -
Latitudinal Cline in Chromosome Numbers of Ice Cod A. glacialis (Gadidae) from Northeast Greenland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-12-18)The ice cod <i>Arctogadus glacialis</i> (Peters, 1872) is one of the few fish species endemic to the Arctic. With a circumpolar distribution, the species is confined to the fjords and shelves of the Arctic seas. Biological information on <i>A. glacialis</i> is scarce, with genomic information restricted to microsatellites. Within the frame of the TUNU-Programme: Arctic Ocean Fishes—Diversity, ... -

Benthic scavenger community composition and carrion removal in Arctic and Subarctic fjords
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-05)In high latitude coastal regions, benthic scavenger communities are largely composed of invertebrates that play a key role in the cycling of organic matter. Factors including temperature and depth can structure Arctic and Subarctic fjord benthic communities, but the response of scavenging communities to these factors is poorly known. To address this, we compared scavenging fauna in eight fjords with ... -

Smittrisken för infektiös aerosol beskrivs med exempel från några bakteriella och virusöverförbara sjukdomar i tandvårdskliniken. -
Acute intermittent porphyria. Inflammation, diet and biomarkers in acute intermittent porphyria
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-01-22)Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited metabolic disease with lowered function of the enzyme hydroxymethylbilan synthase due to mutation in this gene of the heme synthesis. The resulting excess of aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen can result in acute abdominal pain, paresis, fatigue, increased risk for kidney failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. Some drugs, ... -
Sámi Law: A Methodological Approach
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-09)Sámi law is the law of the Indigenous Sámi people. The territory where Sámi have historically lived is called <i>Sápmi</i> and encompasses parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia. This article builds on the premise that Sámi law exists in Sápmi, in parallel with national laws. However, in terms of methodology and content, the scope of research on Sámi law compared to research about Indigenous ... -
Epidemiology of geriatric trauma patients in Norway: A nationwide analysis of Norwegian Trauma Registry data, 2015-2018. A retrospective cohort study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-04)<i>Introduction</i> - Geriatric patients have a high risk of poor outcomes after trauma and is a rapid-increasing group within the trauma population. Given the need to ensure that the trauma system is targeted, efficient, accessible, safe and responsive to all age groups the aim of the present study was to explore the epidemiology and characteristics of the Norwegian geriatric trauma population and ... -
Pre- and post-diagnostic blood profiles of perfluoroalkyl acids in type 2 diabetes mellitus cases and controls
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-09)<i>Background</i> - Studies exploring the associations between perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are rather limited and have reported conflicting results. All studies to date, including prospective ones, have relied on a single blood sample to study this association. Similarly, studies investigating how T2DM status may influence the longitudinal changes in PFAA ... -
Transcriptional signatures that define ulcerative colitis in remission
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-23)<i>Background</i> - This study addresses whether existing specific transcriptional profiles can improve and support the current status of the definition of ulcerative colitis (UC) remission apart from the existing endoscopic, histologic, and laboratory scoring systems. For that purpose, a well-stratified UC patient population in remission was compared to active UC and control patients and was ... -
Suboptimal light curing and direct exposure to water of two contemporary composites: degree of conversion, sorption, solubility, and Knoop hardness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-18)The water sorption and solubility of two polymer resin‐based dental composite materials were assessed in order to evaluate the effects of immediate post‐cure water exposure on the water sensitivity of the composites. Each material was tested with two different light curing setups. The radiant exposure of the two curing setups differed by a factor of 5. After exposure to water and subsequent drying, ... -
Evaluation Challenges in the validation of B7-H3 as oral tongue cancer prognosticator
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-21)B7-H3 was the only molecule identified with prognostic potential from a recent systematic review of the prognostic value of immune checkpoints in oral cancer. We aimed to validate this finding in a multicenter international cohort.

Lipid yield from the diatom Porosira glacialis is determined by solvent choice and number of extractions, independent of cell disruption
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-17)Cell wall disruption is necessary to maximize lipid extraction yields in conventional species of mass-cultivated microalgae. This study investigated the effect of sonication, solvent choice and number of extractions on the lipid yield, lipid class composition and fatty acid composition of the diatom <i>Porosira glacialis</i>. For comparison, the diatom <i>Odontella aurita</i> and green alga <i>Chlorella ... -
Filling the psycho-social gap in the EQ-5D: the empirical support for four bolt-on dimensions
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-09)<i>Purpose</i> - The EQ-5D is the most widely applied generic preference-based measure (GPBM) of health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Much concern has been raised that its descriptive system is lacking psycho-social dimensions. A recent paper in this journal provided theoretical support for four dimensions to fill this gap. The current paper aims to provide empirical support for these suggested ... -
