Cooling to hypothermic circulatory arrest by immersion vs. cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB): Worse outcome after rewarming in immersion cooled pigs
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-31)Introduction: Cooling by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to deep hypothermic cardiac arrest (HCA) for cardiac surgical interventions, followed by CPB-rewarming is performed on a routine basis with relatively low mortality. In contrast, victims of deep accidental hypothermia rewarmed with CPB generally have a much worse prognosis. Thus, we have developed an intact pig model to compare effects on ... -
Management of bleeding risk in patients who receive anticoagulant therapy for venous thromboembolism: Communication from the ISTH SSC Subcommittee on Predictive and Diagnostic Variables in Thrombotic Disease
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-20)Patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) require anticoagulant therapy to prevent recurrent VTE and death, which exposes them to an inherent increased risk of bleeding. Identification of patients at high risk of bleeding, and mitigating this risk, is an essential component of the immediate and long-term therapeutic management of VTE. The bleeding risk can be estimated by either implicit ... -
Glioblastoma PET/MRI: kinetic investigation of [<sup>18</sup>F]rhPSMA-7.3, [<sup>18</sup>F]FET and [<sup>18</sup>F]fluciclovine in an orthotopic mouse model of cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-22)<b><p>Purpose</b> Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common glioma and standard therapies can only slightly prolong the survival. Neo-vascularization is a potential target to image tumor microenvironment, as it defines its brain invasion. We investigate [<sup>18</sup>F]rhPSMA-7.3 with PET/MRI for quantitative imaging of neo-vascularization in GBM bearing mice and human tumor tissue and compare ... -

High Levels of Complement Activating Enzyme MASP-2 Are Associated With the Risk of Future Incident Venous Thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-21)Background: Experimental studies have shown that the complement activating enzyme MASP-2 (mannose-binding lectin associated serine protease 2) exhibits a thrombin-like activity and that inhibition of MASP-2 protects against thrombosis. In this study, we investigated whether plasma MASP-2 levels were associated with risk of future venous thromboembolism (VTE) and whether genetic variants linked to ... -

Inflammation and cognition in severe mental illness: patterns of covariation and subgroups
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-28)A potential relationship between dysregulation of immune/inflammatory pathways and cognitive impairment has been suggested in severe mental illnesses (SMI), such as schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar (BD) spectrum disorders. However, multivariate relationships between peripheral inflammatory/immune-related markers and cognitive domains are unclear, and many studies do not account for inter-individual ... -
Bronkiolitt skal ikke behandles med glukokortikoider eller antibiotika
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)Vi er inne i en hektisk sesong med virale luftveisinfeksjoner. Respiratorisk syncytialvirus (RS-virus) er den hyppigste årsaken til bronkiolitt hos barn.

Reflections on the nature of measurement in language-based automated assessments of patients' mental state and cognitive function
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-22)Modern advances in computational language processing methods have enabled new approaches to the measurement of mental processes. However, the field has primarily focused on model accuracy in predicting performance on a task or a diagnostic category. Instead the field should be more focused on determining which computational analyses align best with the targeted neurocognitive/psychological functions ... -
