    • Grading of oral squamous cell carcinomas – Intra and interrater agreeability: Simpler is better? 

      Steigen, Sonja E; Søland, Tine Merete; Nginamau, Elisabeth Sivy; Laurvik, Helene; Costea, Daniela-Elena; Johannessen, Anne Christine; Jebsen, Peter Wilhelm; Bjerkli, Inger-Heidi; Uhlin-Hansen, Lars; Hadler-Olsen, Elin Synnøve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-03)
      <i>Background</i> - Numerous studies have been presented on histological grading of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) for predicting survival, but uncertainty of their usefulness rises due to discordances of results. A scoring system should be robust and well validated, and intra‐ and interrater agreement can be used as a tool to visualize the strength of reproducibility.<p><p> <i>Methods</i> ...

Blood was circulated through an <i>ex vivo</i> plasma separation model. Leukocyte CD11b expression and leukocyte–platelet conjugates were ...

    • Gratis frokost i videregående skole fra kantinepersonell sitt perspektiv - en kvalitativ studie 

      Theodorsen, Merete (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-13)
      Bakgrunn: Skolemåltider er på den politiske dagsorden og Regjeringen foreslår gradvis innføring av et daglig måltid i skolen. Ulike skolemåltider er prøvd ut i Norge, men lite er knyttet til forskning. De fleste videregående skoler har kantiner og kantinepersonell kan sitte på verdifull erfaring og opplevelser som vil være nyttig ved innføring av skolemåltider nasjonalt. Hensikt: Undersøke ...

      Abstract Background: Intracranial hypertension is a serious complication in patients with acute liver failure (ALF) which leads to brain herniation and 30% mortality. An increase in intracranial pressure (ICP) is accompanied by an increase in brain water (cerebral oedema) in which hyperammonemia is believed to play a major role. The aim of this study was to measure the amount of brain water in ...

    • Grazing incidence to total internal reflection fluorescence structured illumination microscopy enabled by a prism telescope 

      Ortkrass, Henning; Wiebusch, Gerd; Linnenbrügger, Jochen; Schürstedt, Jasmin; Szafranska, Karolina Joanna; McCourt, Peter Anthony; Huser, Thomas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)
      In super-resolution structured illumination microscopy (SR-SIM) the separation between opposing laser spots in the back focal plane of the objective lens affects the pattern periodicity, and, thus, the resulting spatial resolution. Here, we introduce a novel hexagonal prism telescope which allows us to seamlessly change the separation between parallel laser beams for 3 pairs of beams, simultaneously. ...
