(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)Objective. Hypertension is a significant health burden. In the last 10 years, renal sympathetic denervation has been tested as a potential treatment option for a select group of patients with treatmentresistant hypertension. The aim of this study was to broadly assess the quality of life in patients undergoing renal sympathetic denervation with two years’ follow-up. Materials and methods. Patients ... -
Quantification of catch composition in fisheries: A methodology and its application to compare biodegradable and nylon gillnets
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)When evaluating fishing gear catches, the focus is often on a few species as opposed to the entire catch. In some fisheries this can lead to ignoring major part of catch composition. Thus, there is a need for a more holistic approach when evaluating the ecological impact of using a specific fishing gear and when comparing two or more gears. In this context, it is relevant to have a method that ... -
Lifestyle factors as mediators of area-level socio-economic differentials in cardiovascular disease risk factors. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-24)Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death and disability and living in areas with low socio-economic status (SES) is associated with increased risk of CVD.

Tempo and drivers of plant diversification in the European mountain system
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-18)There is still limited consensus on the evolutionary history of species-rich temperate alpine floras due to a lack of comparable and high-quality phylogenetic data covering multiple plant lineages. Here we reconstructed when and how European alpine plant lineages diversified, i.e., the tempo and drivers of speciation events. We performed full-plastome phylogenomics and used multi-clade comparative ... -
Circulating free testosterone and risk of aggressive prostate cancer: Prospective and Mendelian randomisation analyses in international consortia
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-17)Previous studies had limited power to assess the associations of testosterone with aggressive disease as a primary endpoint. Further, the association of genetically predicted testosterone with aggressive disease is not known. We investigated the associations of calculated free and measured total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) with aggressive, overall and early-onset prostate ... -
Syntax Matters: Exploring the Effect of Linguistic Similarity in Third Language Acquisition
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-06)Over the last two decades, the question of to which linguistic cues learners pay attention when they decode a new language has been subject to controversy in the field of third language (L3) acquisition. In this article, we present an artificial language learning experiment that investigated how lexical and syntactic similarities between an artificial L3 and preexisting grammars impact crosslinguistic ... -
How does indirect air-cooling influence pulp chamber temperature in different volume teeth and absence/presence of resin-based composite during light curing?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-24)<p><b> Background</b> Light-curing of materials during restorative dental procedures poses a risk for pulp tissue overheating. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of indirect air-cooling on pulp chamber temperatures during light-curing of varying volume teeth and absence/presence of resin-based composite (RBC) at different exposure time. <p><b> Methods</b> The ... -
Do adolescents exposed to peer aggression at school consider themselves to be victims of bullying? The influence of sex and age
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)<p><b> Introduction</b> Exposure to peer aggression (PA) and bullying victimization (BV) are both expressions of peer victimization. <p><b> Objectives</b> In four age-sex groups, (1) Can exposure to PA and BV be considered distinct experiences? (2) To what extent do adolescents exposed to PA consider themselves bullying victims? and (3) What is the effect on BV of the number of PA events ... -

Arctic exploration and the mobility of phrenology: John Ross's ethnographic portraits of the Netsilingmiut
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-14)Analysing a set of ethnographic images and illustrations resulting from John Ross’s second voyage to find a Northwest Passage in 1829–1833, this article considers the ways in which Arctic exploration intersected with emergent scientific thinking about race and ethnicity in Britain. In particular, it examines how mobility impacted ideas of phrenology and scientific imaging in the context of the ... -

Tuning of Liver Sieve: The Interplay between Actin and Myosin Regulatory Light Chain Regulates Fenestration Size and Number in Murine Liver Sinusoidal Endothelial Cells
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) facilitate the efficient transport of macromolecules and solutes between the blood and hepatocytes. The efficiency of this transport is realized via transcellular nanopores, called fenestrations. The mean fenestration size is 140 ± 20 nm, with the range from 50 nm to 350 nm being mostly below the limits of diffraction of visible light. The cellular ... -
