N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminidase Does Not Enhance Prediction of Cardiovascular or All-Cause Mortality by Albuminuria in a Low-Risk Population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-05)Albuminuria is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, but focus on renal tubular dysfunction as a potential risk factor is growing also. The association between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and cardiovascular risk has been assessed mostly in cross-sectional studies. We studied the cross-sectional associations between urinary NAG and cardiovascular ... -
NADPH oxidase 2 mediates myocardial oxygen wasting in obesity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-19)Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, and they are associated with the development of a specific cardiomyopathy with elevated myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO<sub>2</sub>) and impaired cardiac efficiency. Although the pathophysiology of this cardiomyopathy is multifactorial and complex, reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play an important role. One of the ... -

Naïve chicks do not prefer objects with stable body orientation, though they may prefer behavioural variability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-18)Domestic chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) have been widely used as a model to study the motion cues that allow visually naïve organisms to detect animate agents shortly after hatching/birth. Our previous work has shown that chicks prefer to approach agents whose main body axis and motion direction are aligned (a feature typical of creatures whose motion is constrained by a bilaterally symmetric ... -
Nanocarriers for tailored skin delivery: More than just the carriers?
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2018-11-23)Skin diseases are among the top 5 most leading diseases causing non-fatal health burden worldwide and strategies to assure more effective treatments are urgently needed. Dermal therapy is very attractive due to the direct administration of the drug at the diseased skin site thus minimizing systemic side effects associated with the oral and parenteral routes. However, the great variety within the ... -
Nanomedicines for the topical treatment of vulvovaginal infections: Addressing the challenges of antimicrobial resistance
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-30)Recent years have, surprisingly, witnessed an increase in incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). At the same time, antimicrobial therapy came under the threat of ever rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in STIs with extremely limited therapy options. In this review, we addressed the challenges of treating vaginal infections in an era of AMR. We focused on published work ... -
Nanopharmaceuticals for improved topical vaginal delivery: Can they deliver?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Nanopharmaceuticals have the potential to revolutionise medical treatment by permitting the design of more potent, less toxic “smart” therapeutics, ultimately leading to personalised medicine. This review summarises the challenges and potential uses of nanodelivery system for the topical drug therapy of vaginal diseases. The vaginal route of drug administration remains a challenge in the development ... -
Napping alone in the snow and cuddling with mommy at night: An exploratory, qualitative study of Norwegian beliefs on infant sleep
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-23)This study addresses Norwegian infants’ sleeping places during the day and night. In the first part we asked the general public to indicate where they think infants should sleep by placing stickers on a depiction of different sleeping places. This revealed that infants were expected to predominantly sleep outside in a stroller during the day and either bedshare, room share or sleep independently ... -

A Narrative Care approach for persons living with dementia in institutional care settings
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-02)Aims and objectives We will provide insights in the theoretical background and key concepts of a Narrative Care approach, such as narrative cultures, narrative curiosity, narrative co‐composition and narrative reflective practice. Background Care understood as narrative practice underscores the importance of experiences and how these shape identities. Important to the quality of care in institutional ... -
Narrative care: Unpacking pandemic paradoxes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2021-09-19)During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, public health has issued three interrelated dominant narratives through social media and news outlets: First, to care for others, we must keep physically distant; second, we live in the same world and experience the same pandemic; and third, we will return to normal at some point. These narratives create complexities as they collide with the authors' ... -
Nasjonal anbefaling for utredning og behandling av døgnrytmelidelser
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)Nasjonal kompetansetjeneste for søvnsykdommer (fra 2023: Nasjonalt senter for søvnmedisin) nedsatte høsten 2022 en arbeidsgruppe for å utvikle en nasjonal anbefaling for utredning og behandling av døgnrytmelidelser. Gruppen bestod av personer med ulik yrkesbakgrunn (allmennlege, psykolog, psykiater, klinisk nevrofysiolog, fysiolog, sykepleier), som alle har forskningskompetanse innen fagområdet. ... -
Nasjonal koordinering kan styrke sikkerheten
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-02-17)Det er nødvendig med en nasjonal samordning for å øke kompetansen og styrke bevisstheten rundt vold og trusler i ambulansetjenesten. Slik koordinering kan sikre enhetlig og kunnskapsbasert utvikling av ambulansetjenesten – til det beste for pasienter og ansatte. -
Nasjonale og regionale melde- og varselordninger for uønskede hendelser i pasientbehandlingen: systematisk oversikt
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)Alle virksomheter som yter helse- og omsorgstjenester skal arbeide systematisk for å redusere risiko for pasientskade som følge av tjenesteytelsen eller mangel på ytelse. Likevel oppstår uønskede hendelser av varierende alvorlighetsgrad. Anslagsvis rammer uønskede hendelser én av ti pasienter i norske sykehus. Norske virksomheter som yter helse- og omsorgstjenester plikter å varsle om alvorlige ... -
Nasjonalt utbrudd av Pseudomonas aeruginosa i sykehus forårsaket av ferdigfuktede ikke-sterile vaskekluter, Norge, 2021-2022
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-06)I november 2021 ble Folkehelseinstituttet varslet om at tre intensivpasienter hadde dødd av blodbaneinfeksjon med bakterien Pseudomonas aeruginosa ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge i Tromsø i løpet av kort tid. De hadde identiske isolater forenlig med et klonalt utbrudd. Helgenomsekvensering viste at det var en ny sekvenstype, ST3875, som ikke har vært påvist i Norge eller andre land. Nye ... -
Natalizumab ved Multippel Sklerose. Praksis og erfaring fra Nevrologisk avdeling, Nordlandssykehuset i Bodø
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2019-06-02)Bakgrunn: Natalizumab (Tysabri®) er et immunmodulerende legemiddel som brukes som behandling mot multippel sklerose (MS). Det tilbys vanligvis som andrelinjebehandling, men enkelte pasienter med aggressiv sykdom starter direkte med natalizumab. Det er generelt et godt tolerert og effektivt legemiddel, men er assosiert med enkelte alvorlige bivirkninger, som den sjeldne tilstanden progressiv ... -
National health registries – a ‘goldmine’ for studying non-communicable disease occurrence in Norway – the NCDNOR project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-10)To estimate occurrence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) over the life-course in the Norwegian population, national health registries are a vital source of information since they fully represent the entire non-institutionalised population. However, as they are mainly established for administrative purposes, more knowledge about how NCDs are recorded in the registries is needed. To establish this, ... -
National Integration Components Challenge the Epic Implementation in Central Norway
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022)Electronic health record (EHR) suites cover a broad range of cross-sectoral use scenarios. Thereby, they streamline information flows but also require that healthcare professionals with diverse responsibilities must adapt to one and the same system. In the region of Central Norway, the EHR suite from Epic is being implemented at hospitals as well as in municipal healthcare. However, the 64 municipalities ... -
