Low immunoglobulin levels increase the risk of severe hypogammaglobulinemia in granulomatosis with polyangiitis patients receiving rituximab
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-06)Background: Randomized controlled trials and retrospective studies in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) concurred that rituximab (RTX) is effective to induce and maintain remission. Infections and hypogammaglobulinemia during RTX were usually infrequent and uncomplicated. But in the Tromsø study cohort, 45 % of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) developed hypogammaglobulinemia ... -
Prediabetes and Risk of Glomerular Hyperfiltration and Albuminuria in the General Nondiabetic Population: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-29)Background: The role of prediabetes as a risk factor for hyperfiltration and albuminuria in persons who do not develop diabetes is unclear. The lack of evidence is mainly due to the difficulty of accurately assessing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the near-normal range of GFR. We investigated whether prediabetes is an independent risk factor for glomerular hyperfiltration and high-normal ... -

Appendix E Telemedisinske løsninger i maritime operasjoner og redningstjeneste
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2016)Folk som jobber i maritime miljø har ikke enkel tilgang til sentrale helsetjenester, og det gjelder spesielt for sjøfolk som arbeider i arktiske områder. Selv om telemedisin har vært en suksess på land, har telemedisin kun i begrenset grad blitt tatt i bruk til havs. Dette skyldes blant annet fravær av gode kommunikasjonsløsninger, dårlige værforhold, store avstander og lange perioder utenfor ... -
Type 1 diabetes in Twitter: who all listen to?
(Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2015)Knowing what the conversation on Twitter regarding type 1 diabetes (T1D) is about can help in understanding the kind of information relevant to the individuals affected by the disease. The profile of Twitter users posting on T1D was collected and classified. The number of re-tweets was also registered. The tweets posted by non-governmental organizations (NGOs), communication media, and individuals ... -
Transfers to hospital in planned home birth in four Nordic countries – A prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-29)Introduction. Women planning for home birth are transferred to hospital in case of complications or elevated risk for adverse outcomes. The aim of the present study was to describe the indications for transfer to hospital in planned home births, and the proportion of cases in which this occurs. <p>Material and methods. Women in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland who had opted for, and were ... -
Combining autologous ventral hernia repair using component separation with DIEP breast reconstruction
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-02)Concern about flap viability and abdominal wall integrity would normally exclude a patient with a large ventral midline hernia from having a breast reconstruction with a deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. Ventral hernia repair using the abdominoplasty approach has been reported before. The abdominoplasty flap would normally be discarded. This article presents a unique case of a ... -

Risk Factors and Adverse Events Poorly Predict Infections and Hypogammaglobulinemia in Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Patients Receiving Rituximab
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background. 29 GPA patients from the Northern Norway vasculitis disease registry received rituximab (RTX) induction and maintenance. 24% and 31% had, respectively, severe and chronic infections while 45% had hypogammaglobulinemia and 28% discontinued RTX due to hypogammaglobulinemia. The aim of the study was to examine how known predictors and adverse events interacted with adverse events using ... -
Existing data sources in clinical epidemiology: The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer Cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-16)Background: Although venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a known common complication in cancer patients, there is limited knowledge on patient-related and cancer-specific risk factors in the general population. The Scandinavian Thrombosis and Cancer (STAC) Cohort was established by merging individual data from three large Scandinavian cohorts (The Tromsø Study, the second Nord-Trøndelag Health Study, ... -
Automated analysis of color tissue Doppler velocity recordings of the fetal myocardium using a new algorithm
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-27)Background: Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) can be used to assess fetal cardiac function and it has been shown to detect changes associated with hypoxia in animal models. However, the analysis is cumbersome and time consuming. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a new algorithm developed for the automated analysis of color TDI velocity recordings of the fetal myocardium. ... -
Social representation of hearing aids: Cross-cultural study in India, Iran, Portugal, and the United Kingdom
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-06)Background: The current study was aimed at understanding the social representation of hearing aids in India, Iran, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. We also compared these results to explore the cross-cultural differences and similarities among these countries. <p>Methods: The study involved a cross-sectional design, and the data were collected from four different countries using the snowball ... -

Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation in home-based online groups: A mixed method pilot study in COPD
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-12-10)Background: Comprehensive multidisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation is vital in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is considered for any stage of the disease. Rehabilitation programmes are often centre-based and organised in groups. However, the distance from the patient’s home to the centre and lack of transportation may hinder participation. Rehabilitation at ... -
Low oxygen saturation and mortality in an adult cohort; the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-12)Background: Oxygen saturation has been shown in risk score models to predict mortality in emergency medicine. The aim of this study was to determine whether low oxygen saturation measured by a single-point measurement by pulse oximetry (SpO2) is associated with increased mortality in the general adult population. <p>Methods: Pulse oximetry was performed in 5,152 participants in a cross-sectional ... -
Prevalence and characteristics of suicide attempters and ideators among acutely admitted psychiatric patients in northwest Russia and northern Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-04)Background: More knowledge about suicidality and suicide risk profiles in acute psychiatric hospital patients (both first-time and chronic patients) is needed. While numerous factors are associated with suicidality in such populations, these may differ across cultures. Better understanding of factors underlying suicide risk can be informed by cross-cultural studies, and can aid development of ... -
Staphylococcus Aureus carriage and long-term Rituximab treatment for Granulomatosis with polyangiitis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-25)Objective. Chronic nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) increases the risk of relapse while Rituximab (RTX) is an effective agent for inducing and maintaining remission in patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). We investigated whether B cell depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia that occur during RTX treatment increase the risk of chronic SA nasal carriage and subsequent ... -
Serglycin is part of the secretory repertoire of LPS-activated monocytes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-11)Monocytes play multiple roles in the immune system, and are active in both acute and chronic diseases. Patients exposed to bacterial infections depend on monocytes in defense reactions, but excessive immune reactions may also cause morbidity through systemic inflammatory responses. Few studies have addressed the importance of proteoglycans, and in particular, the hematopoietic serglycin, in such ...
