Functional analysis of signaling pathways activated by Anisomycin and Dexamethasone in two different breast cancer cell lines
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-12)While targeted therapy exists for ER-positive breast cancers, the treatment option for TNBC is conventional chemotherapy giving a poorer prognosis. It is therefore of interest to study molecular mechanisms and differences between MCF7 (ER-positive) and MDA-MB-231 (ER, PR, and HER2- negative). These cell lines are in vitro representative models for luminal A (non-aggressive) and basal-like (aggressive) ... -

Investigating the latency cost of statistical learning of a Gaussian mixture simulating on a convolutional density network with adaptive batch size technique for background modeling
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-31)Background modeling is a promising field of study in video analysis, with a wide range of applications in video surveillance. Deep neural networks have proliferated in recent years as a result of effective learning-based approaches to motion analysis. However, these strategies only provide a partial description of the observed scenes' insufficient properties since they use a single-valued mapping ... -
Progress in fish gastrointestinal microbiota research
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-02)The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota of vertebrates plays critical roles in nutrition, development, immunity and resistance against invasive pathogens.

Vinorelbine and gemcitabine vs vinorelbine and carboplatin as first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. A phase III randomised controlled trial by the Norwegian Lung Cancer Study Group
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-07-03)BACKGROUND: Platinum-based doublet chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but earlier studies have suggested that non-platinum combinations are equally effective and better tolerated. We conducted a national, randomised study to compare a non-platinum with a platinum combination.<p> <p>METHODS: Eligible patients had stage IIIB/IV NSCLC ... -

On the formation of 7-ketocholesterol from 7-dehydrocholesterol in patients with CTX and SLO
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-04-25)Abstract A new mechanism for formation of 7-ketocholesterol was recently described involving cytochrome P-450 (CYP)7A1-catalyzed conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol into 7-ketocholesterol with cholesterol-7,8-epoxide as a side product. Some patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) and all patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLO) have markedly increased levels of 7-dehydrocholesterol ... -

Fauna crime: elucidating the potential source and introduction history of European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus L.) into Lake Storsjøen, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-05-01)The ability to accurately determine the original source of invading species offers several powerful applications in invasive species ecology and management and may enable important information on the invading species in its native habitat. Lake Storsjøen in South-Central Norway was recently found to have been subjected to an illegal translocation of the European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus). The ... -

Kirurgiske inngrep etter spontanabort
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-31)Bakgrunn: Spontanabort er per definisjon en intrauterin fosterdød før fullgåtte svangerskapsuke 22. Mellom 20-30% erkjente svangerskap ender som spontanabort. Forekomsten er blant annet svært avhengig av kvinnens alder. Vi skiller mellom tre ulike behandlingsalternativ ved spontanabort; ekspekterende, medikamentell- og kirurgisk behandling. Kirurgisk behandling bør vurderes ved mislykket ekspekterende ... -

Diagnostics and management of infective endocarditis post-transcatheter aortic valve implantation - A systematic review
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-31)Background: As transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has expanded the treatment options to otherwise inoperable patients, it has become as prevalent as surgical aortic valve replacement. TAVI infective endocarditis (IE) has thereby become a feared complication. IE is heterogenous in its presentation, identifying characteristics and diagnostic criteria among these patients is crucial in ...
