    • Circle of Willis variants and cerebrovascular health: Representations, prevalences, functions and related consequences. Incomplete anatomy and changes to flow appear to induce more unfavourable health outcomes 

      Hindenes, Lars Bakke (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-12-03)
      <p><i>Background:</i> The Circle of Willis (CoW) is a circular structure of arteries in which most of the blood flowing to our brains pass through. The structure has primarily been regarded as important for its ability to redistribute blood flow in case of acute arterial occlusion, but may also have a role in dampening the pressure gradient in cerebral blood flow. The CoW anatomy also varies ...

    • Circular instead of hierarchical. Methodological principles for the evaluation of complex interventions 

      Walach, Harald; Fønnebø, Vinjar; Falkenberg, Torkel; Lewith, George; Jonas, Wayne B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2006-06-24)
      Background: The reasoning behind evaluating medical interventions is that a hierarchy of methods exists which successively produce improved and therefore more rigorous evidence based medicine upon which to make clinical decisions. At the foundation of this hierarchy are case studies, retrospective and prospective case series, followed by cohort studies with historical and concomitant non-randomized ...

    • Circulating tumor cell-derived pre-clinical models for personalized medicine 

      Tellez Gabriel, Marta; Cochonneau, Denis; Jubelin, Camille; Heymann, Marie-Françoise; Heymann, Dominique (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-24)
      The main cause of death from cancer is associated with the development of metastases, resulting from the inability of current therapies to cure patients at metastatic stages. Generating preclinical models to better characterize the evolution of the disease is thus of utmost importance, in order to implement effective new cancer biomarkers and therapies. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are good ...

    • Circulating tumor cells as a tool for assessing tumor heterogeneity 

      Tellez Gabriel, Marta; Heymann, Marie-Françoise; Heymann, Dominique (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-19)
      Tumor heterogeneity is the major cause of failure in cancer prognosis and prediction. Accurately detecting heterogeneity for the development of biomarkers and the detection of the clones resistant to therapy is one of the main goals of contemporary medicine. Metastases belong to the natural history of cancer. The present review gives an overview on the origin of tumor heterogeneity. Recent progress ...

    • Claims for compensation after alleged birth injury in Norway. A study of obstetric claims to the Norwegian System of Compensation to Patients from 1994-2008 

      Andreasen, Stine (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-10-16)
      Birth injuries to mother or child are infrequent in Norway, but very serious to all patients and their families. The consequences of an asphyxiated child might be severe, and the payouts from the Norwegian System of Compensation to Patients (NPE) are huge. These payouts may compensate some of the economical expenses, but neither the physical sequela nor the social consequences. Despite this fact, ...
