    • Paratyroideahormon er en selvstendig mediator for kognitive og psykiske symptomer ved primær hyperparatyroidisme 

      Stette, Fanny Gøran Seip (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-04)
      Bakgrunn: Sammenhengen mellom primær hyperparatyroidisme (PHPT) og kognitive og psykiske symptomer har lenge vært anerkjent i klinikken, selv om den underliggende mekanismen er usikker. Mangel på etablerte nevropsykologiske tester for å skille symptomatiske PHPT-pasienter fra de asymptomatiske, gjør at seleksjon av pasienter for kurativ kirurgi i dag baseres på klinisk skjønn. Dette medfører ...
    • The relation between iron deficiency and anaemia and HbA1c levels in Norwegian adolescents. The Tromsø Study: Fit Futures 

      Pettersen, Lise Dyhrberg (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-04)
      Diabetes represents a large global health challenge. The prevalence increases – also in adolescents. HbA1c are used as a diagnostic test for diabetes. It has been seen in adults that anaemia and iron deficiency can influence HbA1c. Since iron deficiency and anaemia are frequent during adolescence, it is of clinical value to be aware of possible coherence between these and HbA1c in adolescents. In a ...
