    • Palliativ omsorg til kreftpasienter i kommunehelsetjenesten. «Hvilke utfordringer møter sykepleierne i små kommuner i Finnmark, i ytelsen av palliativ omsorg til kreftpasienter, og hvordan forholder de seg til disse utfordringene?» 

      Edvardsen, Trine Lise (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2016-05-11)
      Bakgrunn: Denne studien handler om palliativ omsorg til kreftpasienter i kommuner i Finnmark. Samhandlingsreformen legger føringer for at kommunene skal ha ansvar for behandlingen av pasientene i egen kommune. Infrastrukturen i Finnmark, både når det gjelder klima, reisevei til sykehus, og tilgang til fagsykepleiere, gir særskilte utfordringer. Hensikten med denne studien var å få mer kunnskap om ...

    • Palliativ pleie til spedbarn 

      Larsen, Aina (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-05-01)
      Sammendrag Bakgrunn: Dagens teknologiske og medisinske utvikling har redusert spedbarnsdødeligheten, og den har ført til høyere overlevelsesrate for spedbarn født med alvorlige, sjeldne og potensielt dødelige sykdommer. Nesten halvparten av barna med behov for palliasjon dør i løpet av første leveår, og totalt dør 150 spedbarn i Norge årlig. Hensikt: Å undersøke hva som er barnesykepleierens ...

      Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Andersen, Sigve; Brunelli, Cinzia; Dajani, Olav; Ahmed, Herish; Hamre, Hanne Mari; Haukland, Ellinor Christin; Holmberg, Mats; Jordal, Frode; Krogstad, Hilde; Lundeby, Tonje; Løhre, Erik T; Mjåland, Svein; Nordbø, Arve; Paulsen, Ørnulf; Staff, Erik Schistad; Wester, Torunn; Kaasa, Stein; Loge, Jon Håvard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-02)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Several publications have addressed the need for a systematic integration of oncological care focused on the tumor and palliative care (PC) focused on the patient with cancer. The exponential increase in anticancer treatments and the high number of patients living longer with advanced disease have accentuated this. Internationally, there is now a persuasive argument that ...

    • Pallitative care in rural and remote areas. Challenges facing rural nurses in palliative cancer care in the far North of Norway 

      Edvardsen, Trine Lise; Lorem, Geir F; Mehus, Grete (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-02)
      In Finnmark, the northernmost county of Norway, many villages are remote and scattered between vast stretches of uninhabited land, with mountain crossings that are often closed in winter or where one can only drive in single file behind a snowplough. This may mean periodic total isolation and daily challenges with long distances to other professionals and hospitals. These special circumstances mean ...

    • Panoramic radiograph analyses for early detection of osteoporosis in the population of Northern Norway 

      Teterina, Anna (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2024-01-26)
      Osteoporosis is a chronic disease affecting bone tissue that may lead to fractures from minor accidents. Roughly 20% of females and 6 % of males have osteoporosis after age 50, but the disease might be present at a younger age. Early diagnosis is challenging because the disease has no symptoms. Dental radiography is a frequent examination that might be useful for early osteoporosis screening at ...

    • Parathyroid hormone, but not vitamin D, is associated with the metabolic syndrome in morbidly obese women and men : a cross-sectional study 

      Hjelmesæth, Jøran; Hofsø, Dag; Aasheim, Erlend T.; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Moan, Johan; Hager, Helle; Røislien, Jo; Bollerslev, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-03)
      Background: The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism is high among morbidly obese subjects. Further, low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 [OH]D) and magnesium have been associated with increased risk of the metabolic syndrome (MS), and recently, a possible link between PTH and MS has been reported. Although it is well known that the synthesis and secretion ...

    • Paratyroideahormon er en selvstendig mediator for kognitive og psykiske symptomer ved primær hyperparatyroidisme 

      Stette, Fanny Gøran Seip (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-06-04)
      Bakgrunn: Sammenhengen mellom primær hyperparatyroidisme (PHPT) og kognitive og psykiske symptomer har lenge vært anerkjent i klinikken, selv om den underliggende mekanismen er usikker. Mangel på etablerte nevropsykologiske tester for å skille symptomatiske PHPT-pasienter fra de asymptomatiske, gjør at seleksjon av pasienter for kurativ kirurgi i dag baseres på klinisk skjønn. Dette medfører ...
