I Norge har 20 % av barn 80 % av de registrerte kariesangrepene. Forskning viser at foreldres kunnskap, atferd og evne til å forstå helseinformasjon påvirker barnets tannhelse. Vi ville undersøke hvilke erfaringer tannleger/tannpleiere har vedrørende disse barna og deres foreldre. Tanker om hvordan man kan på best mulig måte ivareta disse barnas tannhelse var også av interesse. Hensikten med intervjuet ...

I masteroppgaven ønsker vi kort å beskrive hvilken beskyttende tiltak som finnes for barn som er utsatt for vold, overgrep, omsorgssvikt og dental forsømmelse. Vi ønsker også og kartlegge rutiner og beredskap i den Offentlige Tannhelsetjenesten i Nordland og Troms, ved mistanke om at barn er utsatte for overnevnte. Våren 2017 skal Helsedirektoratet presentere nye nasjonale retningslinjer angående ...

Sammendrag Hensikt: Denne masteroppgaven har tatt sikte på å utforske tanker og erfaringer tannleger har om pasienter som benytter seg ulikt av tannhelsetjenesten (THT) og hva som er viktig for tannlegen for å oppnå gode relasjoner med pasienter. Oppgaven har tatt et eksplorativt blikk på tematikken. Metode: Det ble benyttet kvalitativ forskningsmetode, tematikken ble utforsket gjennom s ...

Background: The main cause to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a translocation between chromosome 9 and 22, resulting in the Philadelphia chromosome, containing a BCR-ABL fusion-gene that encodes a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Imatinib, a selective inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase, is the first-line treatment for CML-patients. However, drug-resistance is an increasing problem, and the ...

With the current possible presence of thousands of PFAS compounds in industrial emissions, there is an increasing need to assess the impacts of PFAS regulation of conventional PFAS on one hand and the exposure to emerging and yet unknown PFAS on the other. Today’s analytical methodologies using targeted approaches are not sufficient to determine the complete suite of PFAS present. To evaluate the ...

Background Current security predictions are based on new non-linear hybrid threats with the potential to harm both military and civilian public health (PH). Inadequate hand hygiene practices may increase vulnerability unless resilience can be improved. Handwashing habits are difficult to change but are key to successful decontamination and maintenance of low risk (GREEN) zones the Norwegian Army’s ...

<i>Objectives</i> - Recent investigations in humans and mouse models with lupus have revealed evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction and production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) in T cells and neutrophils. This can provoke numerous cellular changes including oxidation of nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and even induction of cell death. We have previously observed that in T cells ...

Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PeCa) is a rare malignancy and little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis of PeCa. The Wnt signaling pathway, with the transcription activator ß-catenin as a major transducer, is a key cellular pathway during development and in disease, particularly cancer. We have used PeCa tissue arrays and multi-fluorophore labelled, quantitative, ...

Limitation of excessive inflammation due to selective degradation of pro-inflammatory proteins is one of the cytoprotective functions attributed to autophagy. In the current study, we highlight that selective autophagy also plays a vital role in promoting the establishment of a robust inflammatory response. Under inflammatory conditions, here TLR3-activation by poly(I:C) treatment, the inflammation ...
