      Salehi, Pegah; Hassan, Syed Zohaib; Lammerse, Myrthe; Shafiee Sabet, Saeed; Riiser, Ingvild; Røed, Ragnhild Klingenberg; Sinkerud Johnson, Miriam; Hicks, Steven; Thambawita, Vajira; Powell, Martine; Lamb, Michael E.; Baugerud, Gunn Astrid; Halvorsen, Pål; Riegler, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-01)
      When responding to allegations of child sexual, physical, and psychological abuse, Child Protection Service (CPS) workers and police personnel need to elicit detailed and accurate accounts of the abuse to assist in decision-making and prosecution. Current research emphasizes the importance of the interviewer’s ability to follow empirically based guidelines. In doing so, it is essential to implement ...

      INTRODUCTION Globally, evidence suggests that one-third of nulliparous women experience delay in the first stage of labor with an increased risk of poor maternal and neonatal outcomes. With this study, we explore how clinical challenges related to prolonged labor are perceived by nurse-midwives and doctors in Tanzania.<p> <p>METHODS A qualitative study with group interviews of either nurse-midwives ...

    • Geomagnetic induced currents in long subsea power cables 

      Solheim, Kristian Thinn; Johnsen, Magnar Gullikstad (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-09-16)
      This report focuses on geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) that can be induced in long subsea power cables. Literature indicates that the water depth itself, in which the cable will be laid, will not contribute to an attenuation of the geoelectric field for those water depths relevant for the Krafla power cable. However, the presence of a coast will introduce a strong enhancement. Even minor ...

      Given the highly variable clinical phenotype of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a deeper analysis of the host genetic contribution to severe COVID-19 is important to improve our understanding of underlying disease mechanisms. Here, we describe an extended GWAS meta-analysis of a well-characterized cohort of 3255 COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure and 12 488 population controls from ...

    • The lateral trauma position: What do we know about it and how do we use it? A cross-sectional survey of all Norwegian emergency medical services 

      Fattah, Sabina; Ekås, Guri Ranum; Hyldmo, Per Kristian; Wisborg, Torben (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011-08-04)
      Background: Trauma patients are customarily transported in the supine position to protect the spine. The Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure (ABCDE) principles clearly give priority to airways. In Norway, the lateral trauma position (LTP) was introduced in 2005. We investigated the implementation and current use of LTP in Norwegian Emergency Medical Services (EMS).<p> <p>Methods: ...

      Ueland, Thor; Sørvoll, Ingvild Hausberg; Mørtberg, Trude Victoria; Dahl, Tuva Børresdatter; Lerum, Tøri Vigeland; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Ranheim, Trine; Nezvalova-Henriksen, Katerina; Dyrhol-Riise, Anne Ma; Holme, Pål Andre; Aaløkken, Trond Mogens; Skjønsberg, Ole Henning; Barratt-Due, Andreas; Ahlen, Maria Therese; Aukrust, Pål; Halvorsen, Bente (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-28)
      Thromboembolic events are frequent and associated with poor outcome in severe COVID-19 disease. Anti-PF4/polyanion antibodies are related to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and thrombus formation, but data on these antibodies in unselected COVID-19 populations are scarce. We assessed the presence of anti-PF4/polyanion antibodies in prospectively collected serum from an unselected cohort ...

    • Elevated plasma levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 are associated with risk of future incident venous thromboembolism

      Background: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the main inhibitor of fibrinolysis, is frequently elevated in obesity and could potentially mediate the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in obese subjects. However, whether PAI-1 is associated with VTE remains uncertain.<p> <p>Objective: To investigate the association between plasma PAI-1 levels and risk of future incident VTE and whether ...

    • Impact of childhood trauma on antipsychotic effectiveness in schizophrenia spectrum disorders: A prospective, pragmatic, semi-randomized trial 

      Mørkved, Nina; Johnsen, Erik; Kroken, Rune Andreas; Winje, Dagfinn; Larsen, Tor Ketil; Thimm, Jens; Rettenbacher, M.A.; Johannesen, C.A. Bartz; Løberg, Else-Marie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-13)
      Antipsychotic medications are generally effective in ameliorating psychotic symptoms in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). Identifying predictors associated with poor treatment response is important for a personalized treatment approach. Childhood trauma (CT) may have a general and differential effect on the effectiveness of different types of antipsychotics in SSDs. The Bergen-Stavanger- ...

      Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Kalhagen, Kjersti; Kolås, Eivind Hugaas; Fer, Ilker; Nilsen, Frank; Cottier, Finlo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-05)
      The Atlantic Water inflow to the Arctic Ocean is transformed and modified in the area north of Svalbard, which influences the Arctic Ocean heat and salt budget. Year-round observations are relatively sparse in this region partially covered by sea ice. We took advantage of one-year-long records of ocean currents and hydrography from seven moorings north of Svalbard. The moorings are organized in ...

    • Secure and scalable deduplication of horizontally partitioned health data for privacy-preserving distributed statistical computation 

      Yigzaw, Kassaye Yitbarek; Michalas, Antonis; Bellika, Johan Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-03)
      Background: Techniques have been developed to compute statistics on distributed datasets without revealing private information except the statistical results. However, duplicate records in a distributed dataset may lead to incorrect statistical results. Therefore, to increase the accuracy of the statistical analysis of a distributed dataset, secure deduplication is an important preprocessing step.<p><p> ...

      Torp, May-Kristin; Ranheim, Trine; Schjalm, Camilla; Hjorth, Marit; Heiestad, Christina Mathisen; Dalen, Knut Tomas; Nilsson, Per; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Pischke, Soeren; Lien, Egil; Vaage, Ingvar Jarle; Yndestad, Arne; Stensløkken, Kåre-Olav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-01)
      The innate immune system is rapidly activated during myocardial infarction and blockade of extracellular complement system reduces infarct size. Intracellular complement, however, appears to be closely linked to metabolic pathways and its role in ischemia-reperfusion injury is unknown and may be different from complement activation in the circulation. The purpose of the present study was to investigate ...

    • Urban Neighbourhood Environments, Cardiometabolic Health and Cognitive Function: A National Cross-Sectional Study of Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Australia 

      Cerin, Ester; Barnett, Anthony; Shaw, Jonathan E.; Martino, Erika; Knibbs, Luke D.; Tham, Rachel; Wheeler, Amanda J.; Anstey, Kaarin J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-07)
      Population ageing and urbanisation are global phenomena that call for an understanding of the impacts of features of the urban environment on older adults’ cognitive function. Because neighbourhood characteristics that can potentially have opposite effects on cognitive function are interdependent, they need to be considered in conjunction. Using data from an Australian national sample of 4141 adult ...
