Cross-sectional study on population of semi-domesticated reindeer from 2 northern ...
    • Level of the Lipid Markers ApoA1 and ApoB in a General Youth Population. The Tromsø Study, Fit Futures 1 

      Johnsen, Gunnhild Hammervold (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-11-14)
      Low serum Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) and high Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) are risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Studies have found tracking of lipid and lipoprotein levels form childhood and youth, into adult life. In order to identify an unfavorable lipid profile in young ages, knowledge about the distribution of these biomarkers in the general population is a prerequisite. ...

      Background: Patients with combined depression symptoms and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often exhibit high levels of circulating inflammatory biomarkers as either a cause or consequence of their disease. We aimed to investigate how cytokines and depression symptoms develop with one-year follow-up and compare them with non-PTSD patients.<p> <p>Methods: The study had a longitudinal design ...

      Ørbo, Anne; Vereide, Anne Beate; Arnes, Marit; Pettersen, Inger; Straume, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
    • Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system use is associated with a decreased risk of ovarian and endometrial cancer, without increased risk of breast cancer. Results from the NOWAC Study 

      Jareid, Mie; Thalabard, Jean-Christophe; Aarflot, Morten; Bøvelstad, Hege Marie; Lund, Eiliv; Braaten, Tonje (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)
      <p><i>Objective</i>: Women with ovarian cancer have poor survival rates, which have proven difficult to improve; therefore primary prevention is important. The levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) prevents endometrial cancer, and recent studies suggested that it may also prevent ovarian cancer, but with a concurrent increased risk of breast cancer. We compared adjusted risks of ...

      Positivsymptome wie Wahn und Halluzinationen stellen definierende Symptome einer (schizophrenen) Psychose dar. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit wird ein 2-stufiges heuristisches Modell für die Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung psychotischer Positivsymptome vorgelegt. Im Kern der Theorie steht die Hypothese, dass von Psychose betroffene Menschen eine erniedrigte Entscheidungsschwelle aufweisen, die zu ...

    • Life after war-related extremity amputations. A retrospective, descriptive clinical follow-up study from Gaza, occupied Palestine 

      Heszlein-Lossius, Hanne Edøy (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2019-08-23)
      Little is known about medical consequences of losing arm(s) or leg(s) in military attacks. Many Palestinians in Gaza have suffered loss of one or more limbs during recurrent Israeli military incursions. Such serious physical trauma pose grave health problems not only for the amputee, but also for their families and for the society at large. The problem is increasing. Hanne Heszlein-Lossius, MD, ...

      <i>Background</i> - The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ in culture and lifestyle, which might create country-wise health differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, and risk factors in the Nordic region.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Life expectancy in years and age-standardised rates of overall, cause-specific, ...
    • Life or death. The social impact of paramedics and first responders in landmine-infested villages in northern Iraq 

      Brinchmann, Berit Støre; Edvardsen, Odd; Murad, Mudhafar K; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-03-18)
      <b>Introduction:</b> Landmines are indiscriminate weapons that mainly injure poor populations in the developing world. Pre-hospital treatment by village-based paramedics and first responders has reduced mortality, but little is known about the social impact of paramedic and first responder training in villages. The aim of this study was to understand how villagers in socially deprived, mine-infested ...
    • Life Support in High Age: Northern Norway 1865-1900 

      Elstad, Ingunn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      This article explores how very old people in Northern Norway supported life before economic modernization, from nineteenth-century census registrations and ethnographic sources. Very few lived alone. About 80 percent were primarily supported by living with relations—family, kin, or nonkin, participating with work and experience, the majority through a retirement agreement. In the northernmost parts, ...
    • Life-Course Trajectories of Physical Activity and Melanoma Risk in a Large Cohort of Norwegian Women 

      Perrier, Flavie; Ghiasvand, Reza; Lergenmuller, Simon; Robsahm, Trude Eid; Green, Adele C.; Borch, Kristin Benjaminsen; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Weiderpass, Elisabete; Rueegg, Corina Silvia; Veierød, Marit Bragelien (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-22)
      Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone in disease prevention and varies throughout life. A pooled analysis of cohort studies and a meta-analysis of cohort studies found positive associations between PA and melanoma risk. However, previous studies focused on PA at specific ages and often lacked information on ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure. Using the population-based Norwegian Women ...

      <p><i>Introduction</i> The number of gynaecological cancer survivors is increasing and there is a need for a more sustainable model of follow-up care. Today’s follow-up model is time-consuming and patients have reported unmet needs regarding information about their cancer and strategies for managing the consequences of treatment. The main aim of this study is to assess health-related empowerment—in ...
