    • Ubevisst aktivering av betinget smerteresponser og spatiale frekvenser 

      Jakobsen, Karoline Sofie Berg; Ahlquist, Elisabeth (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-12-14)
      Bakgrunn: Kroniske smerte har de siste årene blitt mer utbredt, men kunnskapen om kroniske smerter er fortsatt lav. Sentralnervesystemet (SNS) sees på som viktig i forhold til forståelse av slike smerter. SNS bruker endogen smertemodulering for å redusere eller forsterke smerten et individ opplever. Nyere forskning viser at endogen smertemodulering kan påvirkes av ubevisste mekanismer, men hvordan ...

    • The ubiquitin E3 ligase TRIM27 emerges as a new player in mitophagy 

      Berge, Anne Kristin McLaren; Garcia, Juncal Garcia; Sjøttem, Eva; Olsvik, Hallvard Lauritz (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-05)
      Mitochondria are the center for energy production, cell fate determination and synthesis of essential biomolecules in cells. Hence, mitochondrial quality control mechanisms are essential for cellular health. Failure of these control mechanisms may lead to damaged mitochondria that represent a threat to cell survival. Mitophagy is a selective autophagy process that removes damaged mitochondria ...

    • Uheldige barndomsopplevelser som risikofaktor for utvikling av fibromyalgi i voksenalder 

      Grimstad, Lars Christian (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-05-31)
      Bakgrunn: Langvarige smerter rammer i dag rundt 30% av den voksne befolkningen i Norge, og befolkningsstudier viser at vedvarende smerter står for halvparten av all uførhet og langtidssykemeldinger. En av disse kroniske smertelidelsene med relativt høy prevalens i Norge er fibromyalgi. Til tross for at mange lider av dette kroniske smertesyndromet, er etiologien fortsatt ukjent og kurerende behandling ...

    • Ultrasound assessed carotid atherosclerosis in a general population : the Tromsø study 

      Joakimsen, Oddmund (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2000)
      As a neurologist with a special interest in cerebrovascular diseases, and with several years of practice with ultrasound examinations of extra- and intracranial arteries, I have some times experienced patients in whom ultrasound revealed unexpected findings which surprised mc, and made me wonder about etiological relationships and clinical implications. Thus, ultrasound examinations of the carotid ...

    • Ultrasound imaging of carotid atherosclerosis in a normal population. The Tromsø Study 

      Johnsen, Stein Harald; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2009)
      In the Tromsø study, we have successfully used high resolution ultrasonography for assessing atherosclerosis development in a general population. The method is well suited for large epidemiological surveys. Methodological problems could be overcome by using highly standardized protocols, pre-study training of sonographers and readers, and off-line computer-based batch reading of digitized images. ...
