      A substantial proportion of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) arises in the fallopian tube and other epithelia of the upper genital tract; these epithelia may incur damage and neoplastic transformation after sexually transmitted infections (STI) and pelvic inflammatory disease. We investigated the hypothesis that past STI infection, particularly Chlamydia trachomatis, is associated with higher EOC ...

    • Porosira glacialis as a possible source of lipids for human consumption and aquaculture feed 

      Dalheim, Lars (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-05-20)
      Det er et stort behov for marine langkjedede omega-3 fettsyrer både til humant konsum og til fiskefôr. De langkjedede omega-3 fettsyrene EPA og DHA har gunstige helseeffekter for både mennesker og fisk. Mengden villfanget fisk har de siste 40 årene nådd maksimal utnyttelse mens volumet av oppdrettsfisk har økt betraktelig. Mangelen på marint råstoff har ført til en økt andel terrestrisk råstoff i ...

    • Glucose Regulation for In-Silico Type 1 Diabetes Patients Using Reinforcement Learning 

      Tejedor Hernández, Miguel Ángel (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-05-07)
      Type 1 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels as a consequence of deficiency of the hormone insulin, requiring the patient to follow a strict personalized protocol of food intake, subcutaneous insulin administration as a lifelong treatment for the high blood glucose levels, and exercise. This condition leads to acute complications, damaging several organs and ...

The PACE randomised controlled trial found that a C-reactive protein point-of-care test (CRP-POCT) management strategy for AECOPD in primary care resulted in a 20% reduction in patient-reported antibiotic consumption over 4 weeks.<p> <p>Aim ...

    • Ice-albedo tipping points in a diffusive energy-balance model with land and ocean 

      Hilbertsen, Kristian Bergum (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-01-20)
      The ice-albedo feedback is associated with the nonlinearity in the climate system, due to the sudden change in albedo between ice-free and ice-covered surfaces. This nonlinearity can potentially cause abrupt and dramatic shifts in the climate, referred to as tipping points. It is also believed that this mechanism has contributed significantly to the precipitous losses of Arctic sea ice, which have ...

    • On the phantom-like appearance of bilingualism effects on neurocognition: (How) should we proceed? 

      Leivada, Evelina; Westergaard, Marit; Dunabeitia Landaburu, Jon Andoni; Rothman, Jason (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-22)
      Numerous studies have argued that bilingualism has effects on cognitive functions. Recently, in light of increasingly mixed empirical results, this claim has been challenged. One might ponder if there is enough evidence to justify a cessation to future research on the topic or, alternatively, how the field could proceed to better understand the phantom-like appearance of bilingual effects. Herein, ...

      Background - Lower urinary excretion of the kidney tubule–specific biomarker epidermal growth factor (uEGF) is associated with increased risk of renal function [glomerular filtration rate (GFR)] loss in diabetes and in patients with established chronic kidney disease (CKD). We investigated whether uEGF is associated with rapid GFR decline or incident CKD in the general population.<p> <p>Methods ...
