D-dimer as a stand-alone test to rule out deep vein thrombosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020-04-25)Background - Current guidelines recommend the use of clinical decision rules, such as Wells score, in combination with D-dimer to assess the need for objective imaging to rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT). However, the clinical decision rule has limitations, and use of D-dimer as a stand-alone test has been suggested.<p> <p>Objective - We aimed to assess the safety and efficiency of D-dimer as ... -
D-dimer for diagnosis and risk assessment of first and recurrent venous thromboembolism
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-06-15)Venøs tromboembolisme (VTE) er en samlebetegnelse på dyp venetrombose (DVT) og lungeemboli. D-dimer, en blodprøve for koagulasjon og fibrinolyse, har vært en sentral del av VTE-diagnostikken i flere tiår. Blodprøven D-dimer har flere bruksområder og kan dermed reflektere ulike aspekter ved VTE. I denne avhandlingen har vi undersøkt i) om det er trygt og effektivt å bruke D-dimer uten samtidig bruk ... -
D-Dimer Measured at Diagnosis of Venous Thromboembolism is Associated with Risk of Major Bleeding
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-25)Identification of patients at risk of major bleeding is pivotal for optimal management of anticoagulant therapy in venous thromboembolism (VTE). Studies have suggested that D-dimer may predict major bleeding during anticoagulation; however, this is scarcely investigated in VTE patients. We aimed to investigate the role of D-dimer, measured at VTE diagnosis, as a predictive biomarker of major bleeding. ... -
D-Dimer Measured At First Venous Thromboembolism Is Associated With Future Risk Of Cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12)D-dimer >5000 ng/ml at incident VTE is associated with a higher risk of subsequent cancer within one and two years. High D-dimer levels are also associated with more aggressive tumor biology and poor prognosis in these patients. As D-dimer is routinely measured in the assessment of suspected VTE, it may be a useful surrogate marker for the presence of an underlying malignancy. Our findings may suggest ... -
Da laben hun tilhører stengte dørene, flyttet Solveig babyforskningen sin til Zoom
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-08)Det så mørkt ut for Solveig Flatebøs doktorgradsarbeid da Norge erklærte unntakstilstand i mars i fjor. Så fikk hun en idé som gjorde forskningen mye lettere å gjennomføre. -
Dacarbazine and the Agonistic TRAIL Receptor-2 Antibody Lexatumumab Induce Synergistic Anticancer Effects in Melanoma
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Mapatumumab and lexatumumab (targeting death receptor 4 (DR4) and 5 (DR5), respectively) are agonistic TRAIL receptor antibodies that induce apoptosis in a wide range of cancer cells. The potency of mapatumumab and lexatumumab was assessed in mono therapy protocols, and the ability to sensitize for dacarbazine (DTIC) treatment was explored in ten different melanoma cell lines. Our data indicated ... -
Dagbøker til pasienter på intensiv – en teknisk omsorgshandling av intensivsykepleiere
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2023-06-04)Bakgrunn: Dagbøker har innvirkning på tidligere intensivpasienters opplevelser av psykiske symptomer. Det er vist reduksjon i forekomst av PTSD, angst og depresjon hos intensivpasienter som mottok dagbok etter intensivbehandling. Intensivsykepleiere er klar over effektene dagbøker har på pasientenes rehabiliteringsprosess, men likevel er ikke virksomheten alltid en førsteprioritet under intensivbehandling. ... -
Dagtilbod under lupen. Ein studie av dagtilbod til vaksne med utviklingshemming
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-04-29)Formålet med denne studien har vore å få meir innsikt og forståing for korleis ulike forhold verkar inn og får konsekvensar for brukarar sitt dagtilbod. Sju tilsette i kommunale dagsentra har deltatt. Under intervju har dei skildra forhold dei opplever er viktige for at eit dagtilbod skal vere tilpassa brukarane sine eigne ønskjer og behov. Tilsette sine skildringar er blitt drøfta i lys av eit ... -
Daily associations between sleep and pain in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-02)Patients with chronic pain commonly report sleep problems, and the evidence for a relationship between sleep disturbance and pain seems robust. The day‐to‐day associations between these constructs are less well studied, particularly with objective sleep measures such as actigraphy. Moreover, the concurrent presence of negative affective symptoms, as well as seasonality effects at extreme latitudes ... -

Data as symptom: Doctors’ responses to patient-provided data in general practice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-25)People are increasingly able to generate their own health data through new technologies such as wearables and online symptom checkers. However, generating data is one thing, interpreting them another. General practitioners (GPs) are likely to be the first to help with interpretations. Policymakers in the European Union are investing heavily in infrastructures to provide GPs access to patient ... -
Data driven or data informed? How general practitioners use data to evaluate their own and colleagues’ clinical work in clusters
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-29)In contemporary policy discourses, data are presented as key assets for improving health-care quality: policymakers want health care to become ‘data driven’. In this article, we focus on a particular example of this ambition, namely a new Danish national quality development program for general practitioners (GPs) where doctors are placed in so-called ‘clusters’. In these clusters, GPs are obliged ... -
Data from national health registers as endpoints for the Tromsø Study: Correctness and completeness of stroke diagnoses
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-14)Aim: To assess whether stroke diagnoses in national health registers are sufficiently correct and complete to replace manual collection of endpoint data for the Tromsø Study, a population-based epidemiological study.<p> <p>Method: Using the Tromsø Study Cardiovascular Disease Register for 2013–2014 as the gold standard, we calculated correctness (defined as positive predictive value, PPV) and ... -

Data on RT-qPCR assay of nuclear progesterone receptors (nPR), membrane progesterone receptors (mPR) and progesterone receptor membrane components (PGRMC) from human uterine endometrial tissue and cancer cells of the uterine cervix
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-25)A previous investigation showed that the endometrium normalized in women with endometrial hyperplasia after three months treatment with high dose levonorgestrel IUS (intrauterine system). The effect was maintained even if immunohistochemical analyses of the endometrium showed that nuclear progesterone receptors (nPRs) were completely downregulated. These observations indicated that some type of ... -

(2017) [1]). Data are presented demonstrating the rationale for the normalization or rescaling of serum cystatin C, equivalent to the rescaling of serum ... -
Data work in healthcare: An Introduction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-08-12)Why data work in healthcare?<p> <p>Healthcare organizations across the globe are currently grappling to implement tools and practices to transform data from “refuse to riches,” a movement propelled by mass adoption of electronic health records (EHRs), sensors, and servers that can hold an ever-expanding volume of digital data. Allegedly, “By digitizing, combining and effectively using big data, ... -
