    • Blood pressure and age-related GFR decline in the general population 

      Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Stefansson, Vidar Tor Nyborg; Jenssen, Trond Geir; Mathisen, Ulla Dorte; Schei, Jørgen; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Wilsgaard, Tom; Melsom, Toralf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-28)
      Background: <br> Hypertension is one of the most important causes of end-stage renal disease, but it is unclear whether elevated blood pressure (BP) also accelerates the gradual decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) seen in the general population with increasing age. The reason may be that most studies have considered only baseline BP and not the effects of changes in BP, antihypertensive ...

    • Blood pressure target achievement and antihypertensive medication use in women and men after first-ever myocardial infarction: the Tromsø Study 1994-2016 

      Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Eggen, Anne Elise; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Nilsen, Amalie; Njølstad, Inger; Wilsgaard, Tom (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-03)
      Background: <br> Recurrent cardiovascular events after myocardial infarction (MI) are frequent, and gender differences in blood pressure treatment have been reported. Despite increased focus on secondary prevention, recent reports indicate that treatment targets are not achieved. There is a need for gender-specific analyses of post-MI blood pressure treatment target achievement and ...

    • Bone matrix levels of Dickkopf and sclerostin are positively correlated with bone mass and strength in postmenopausal osteoporosis 

      Ueland, Thor; Stilgren, Lis; Bollerslev, Jens (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-03-03)
      Wnt signaling plays a pivotal role in maintaining bone mass. Secreted pathway modulators such as sclerostin (SOST) and Dickkopfs (DKKs) may influence bone mass inhibiting the canonical Wnt pathway. We evaluated whether bone protein content of secreted Wnt antagonists is related to age, bone mass, and strength in postmenopausal osteoporosis. We measured cortical and trabecular bone contents of SOST ...

    • Bone trait ranking in the population is not established during antenatal growth but is robustly established in the first postnatal year 

      Skåren, Lise Hansen; Wang, Xiaofang; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-17)
      Efforts to understand the pathophysiology of bone fragility must focus on bone traits during growth. We hypothesized that variance in individual trait ranking in the population distribution is established by genetic factors and is reflected in foetal trait ranking in early pregnancy, but intrauterine factors modify trait ranking in late pregnancy, followed by the reinstating of this ranking during ...

    • Both brain size and biological sex contribute to variation in white matter microstructure in middle-aged healthy adults 

      Eikenes, Live; Visser, Eelke; Vangberg, Torgil Riise; Håberg, Asta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-03)
      Whether head size and/or biological sex influence proxies of white matter (WM) microstructure such as fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) remains controversial. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) indices are also associated with age, but there are large discrepancies in the spatial distribution and timeline of age-related differences reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ...

    • Bradykinin-Induced Shock Increase Exhaled Nitric Oxide, Complement Activation and Cytokine Production in Pigs 

      Seip, Knut Fredrik; Evjenth, Bjørg; Hovland, Anders; Dybwik, Knut Gustav; Johansen, Harald Thidemann; Fure, Hilde; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Nielsen, Erik Waage (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-04)
      Bradykinin is an important mediator in blood pressure regulation, ischemic precondition and capillary leakage, allergy, anaphylaxis, inflammation, and nociception, at least partly via the generation of nitric oxide (NO). Macrophages are particularly abundant in the porcine lung circulation. Upon bradykinin binding macrophages release cytokines and endothelial ...

    • Brain Metastases: Is There Still a Role for Whole-Brain Radiation Therapy? 

      Nieder, Carsten; Andratschke, Nicolaus H.; Grosu, Anca L. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-27)
      Whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) has commonly been prescribed to palliate symptoms from brain metastases, to reduce the risk of local relapse after surgical resection, and to improve distant brain control after resection or radiosurgery. While targeting micrometastases throughout the brain can be considered advantageous, the simultaneous exposure of healthy brain tissue might cause adverse events. ...

    • Bronkiolitt skal ikke behandles med glukokortikoider eller antibiotika 

      Nordal, Ellen Berit; Granslo, Hildegunn Norbakken; Esaiassen, Eirin; Leknessund, Carina Benedikte Bjørkvoll; Forsdahl, Bård Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)
      Vi er inne i en hektisk sesong med virale luftveisinfeksjoner. Respiratorisk syncytialvirus (RS-virus) er den hyppigste årsaken til bronkiolitt hos barn. Pediatriveilederen er tydelig på at perorale glukokortikoider ikke har noen plass i behandlingen av bronkiolitt og at det sjelden er behov for antibiotika.

    • Bruk av medikamenter for alkoholbrukslidelser i Norge 2004–16 

      Heldal, Anne Taraldsen; Skurtveit, Svetlana; Lobmaier, Philipp Paul K.; Vederhus, John-Kåre; Bramness, Jørgen Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-08)
      <p><i>Bakgrunn - </i>Alkoholbrukslidelser forårsaker alvorlig sykelighet og tidlig død. Livstidsprevalens estimeres til 7–10 % i den norske befolkningen. Mange pasienter kommer ikke inn i behandlingsapparatet, og det antas at få av dem som kommer i behandling får medikamentell behandling. På markedet er det flere medikamenter som kan hjelpe til med å redusere mengde inntatt alkohol og å opprettholde ...
