There are concerns for harmful health effects of POPs even for the background exposure experienced by the general population and especially for foetuses and children. The overarching aim of this thesis was to enhance our understanding of how human concentrations of ... -
Understanding the binding of inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases by molecular docking, quantum mechanical calculations, molecular dynamics simulations, and a MMGBSA/MMBappl study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-01-14)Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) consist of a class of proteins required for normal tissue function. Their over expression is associated with many disease states and hence the interest in MMPs as drug targets. Almost all MMP inhibitors have been reported to fail in clinical trials due to lack of specificity. Zinc in the binding site of metalloproteinases performs essential biological functions ... -

Understanding the Neural and Behavioral Correlates of Mind Wandering Through Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-08-28)The mind’s tendency to wander is an integral part of the human experience. Recent studies suggest that high-level cognitive functions such as mind wan- dering (MW) can be modulated by non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). However, the effectiveness of tDCS in the cognitive domain remains an issue of debate. This thesis aimed to ... -

Understanding variation in primary medical care: a nine-country qualitative study of clinicians' accounts of the non-clinical factors that shape antibiotic prescribing decisions for lower respiratory tract infection.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)There is a wide variation between European countries in antibiotic prescribing for patients in primary care with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) that is not explained by case mix and clinical factors alone. Variation in antibiotic prescribing that is not warranted by differences in illness and clinical presentation may increase selection of resistant organisms, contributing to the problem ... -
Undersøkelse av en ny topikal antimykotisk "liposom-i-hydrogel" legemiddelformulering med virkestoffet flukonazol
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2014-05-20)Effektiv antifungal behandling er utfordrende og oppnå, og midler til systemisk bruk er forbundet med mange bivirkninger og interaksjoner. Lokal administrasjon er derfor å foretrekke. Målet for lokal dermal antimykotisk behandling er å maksimere deponeringen av legemiddel til huden, og samtidig unngå transdermal passasje med uønskete systemiske effekter, som bivirkninger og interaksjoner. I denne ... -
Undersøkelse av gentamicinspeil blant barn på UNN - En retrospektiv kvalitetssikringsstudie
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-06-01)Bakgrunn: Pasienter som kommer inn med mistanke om infeksjon behandles empirisk med gentamicin, ofte sammen med et beta-laktam antibiotikum. Det er lav terskel å behandle barn med antibiotika ved mistanke om infeksjon, og gentamicin brukes mye. I for høye doser kan gentamicin være toksisk for nyrer og hørsel. UNN Tromsø har egne retningslinjer for gentamicin dosering av nyfødte. For barn etter ... -
Undersøkelse av kommunikasjon mellom personer med spiseforstyrrelse og tannleger, og forebyggende tiltak
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-19)Oppgaven tar for seg hvordan oppleves kommunikasjon mellom personer med spiseforstyrrelse og tannlege. Et gjennomgående funn var at å snakke om spiseforstyrrelse var vanskelig fra begge partenes ståsted. Det vanligste er at personer med spiseforstyrrelse fortsatte å gå til tannlege etter sykdomsdebut, men unnlater å fortelle tannlegen at de har sykdommen. Blant tannleger var egenvurdert kunnskapsnivået ... -
Undersøkelse av signaltransduksjonsmekanismer ved S100A4-indusert aktivering av transkripsjonsfaktoren NF-κB
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-06-19)S100A4 er et lite kalsiumbindende protein som tilhører S100-proteinfamilien. Proteinet er vist å ha en viktig rolle i metastaseprosessen, bl.a. ved å stimulere kreftcellenes motilitet og invasjonsevne. I de senere år har man blitt klar over at flere av de observerte biologiske effektene av S100A4 kan skyldes ekstracellulært protein. Ved transient transfeksjon med et reporterkonstrukt for ... -
