BACKGROUND: Although several studies have investigated the association of the Mediterranean diet with overall mortality or risk of specific cancers, data on overall cancer risk are sparse.<p> <p>METHODS: We examined the association between adherence to Mediterranean dietary pattern and overall cancer risk using data from the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and nutrition, a multi-centre ...

Background: Recalcitrant lateral epicondylitis (elbow extensor–origin tendinosis) is a common cause of elbow pain with many treatment options. In the present study, the medium-term results after open release and radiofrequency microtenotomy are reported. Hypothesis: Microtenotomy would provide long-term pain relief that was as good as the open release method. Study Design: Prospective, randomized ...

I kapittelet tar jeg utgangspunkt i en læringsaktivitet fra bachelorutdanningen i fysioterapi der studenter fra samme kull underviser hverandre, med egne praksiserfaringer som grunnlag. Lærerne strukturerer læringsaktiviteten på forhånd, gir støtte underveis, bidrar med tilbakemeldinger og er en samlende faktor for hele prosessen. Medstudentundervisning og -læring aktualiserer emosjonenes betydning ...

Ifølge Nasjonalt register over hjerte- og karlidelser ble det i 2014 behandlet ca. 11 000 pasienter med hjerneslag i norske sykehus, hvorav 85 % var hjerneslag som skyldes hjerneinfarkt (blodpropp) i arterier som forsyner hjernen. Såkalt endovaskulær behandling ved bruk av mekanisk trombektomi for behandling av akutt hjerneinfarkt innebærer fysisk fjerning av blodproppen (tromben) som hindrer ...

Dette er en personlig, objektiv beskrivelse av grunnlaget for Kvinner og Kreft, utviklingen over tid og samspillet mellom ideer, engasjement og tilfeldigheter. Over ca femti år er det meste forandret fra forskning drevet av nysgjerrighet til forskning som konkurranse. Det springende spørsmål er hva som gir best utbytte i fremtiden? Prosjekter har ofte en meget lang tidshorisont. Politiske og ...

Soluplus is a suitable excipient for innovative manufacturing techniques such as hot-melt extrusion (HME). While Soluplus is useful for forming amorphous solid dispersions (ASD’s) during HME, the resulting extrudates are often stiff and brittle. In order to achieve suitable dosage forms, with optimal downstream processability, an efficient screening for suitable formulations is required. Vacuum ...

The functions of mammalian Atg8 proteins (mATG8s) expand beyond canonical autophagy and include processes collectively referred to as Atg8ylation. Global modulation of protein synthesis under stress conditions is governed by MTOR and liquid-liquid phase separated condensates containing ribonucleoprotein particles known as stress granules (SGs). We report that lysosomal damage induces SGs acting as ...

Research in the past has looked extensively at gender segregation in the workforce, where men and women are “divided” into bigger domains of work based on traditional gender roles attributed to them (Watt, 2008; Tellhed, Bäckström & Björklund, 2016). These two domains are STEM: science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Beede et al., 2011) and HEED: healthcare, elementary education, and ...

This dissertation addresses psychological factors that contribute to the underrepresentation of men in communal occupations (i.e., occupations associated with communal traits, e.g., nurse), based on the theoretical perspectives from the developmental theory of occupational aspirations (Gottfredson, 1981) and the model of achievement-related choices (Eccles et al., 1983). The underrepresentation of ...
