    With applications ranging from metabolomics to histopathology, quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) is a powerful label-free imaging modality. Despite significant advances in fast multiplexed imaging sensors and deep-learning-based inverse solvers, the throughput of QPM is currently limited by the pixel-rate of the image sensors. Complementarily, to improve throughput further, here we propose to ...
  • Educational inequalities and self-reported health among men and women aged 18-49 years in Yangon Region, Myanmar: analysis of a population-based, cross-sectional study 

    Baek, Sel Ki; Aye, Win Thuzar; Htet, Aung Soe; Stigum, Hein; Gopinathan, Unni; Bjertness, Espen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-18)
    Objectives To estimate the prevalence of good selfreported health (SRH) in subpopulations based on the social determinants of health and to investigate the association between education (measured in years of schooling) and good SRH among men and women aged 18–49 years in Yangon Region, Myanmar.<p> <p>Design Analysis of data from a population-based, cross-sectional study conducted in Yangon, ...
  • Non-technical skills of Norwegian medical students at different training sites: a comparative, observational cohort study 

    Prydz, Katrine; Dieckmann, Gerhard Peter; Fagertun, Hans; Musson, David; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-04)
    Purpose Mastering non-technical skills (NTS) is a fundamental part of the training of new physicians to perform effectively and safely in the medical practice environment. Ideally, they learn these skills during medical school. Decentralized medical education is being implemented increasingly worldwide. Two of the three training sites studied, Bodø (a regional hospital) and Finnmark (a rural ...
  • Exploring the Frozen Armory: Antiphage Defense Systems in Cold-Adapted Bacteria with a Focus on CRISPR-Cas Systems 

    Sandsdalen, Greta Daae; Kumar, Animesh; Hjerde, Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-20)
    Our understanding of the antiphage defense system arsenal in bacteria is rapidly expanding, but little is known about its occurrence in cold-adapted bacteria. In this study, we aim to shed light on the prevalence and distribution of antiphage defense systems in cold-adapted bacteria, with a focus on CRISPR-Cas systems. Using bioinformatics tools, Prokaryotic Antiviral Defense LOCator (PADLOC) and ...
  • Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in Norwegian outpatients with mild to severe myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS): protocol for a 12-month randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial 

    Skjevling, Linn; Goll, Rasmus; Hanssen, Hege Marie; Johnsen, Peter Holger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-10)
    Introduction The observed alteration of the intestinal microbiota in patients with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and the effect of transferring a healthy gut flora from a faecal donor using a faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) will be explored in this trial. Methods and analysis This is a protocol for a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, ...
