      Budrionis, Andrius; Augestad, Knut Magne; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Bellika, Johan Gustav (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Background: An increasing quantity of research in the domain of telemedicine show a growing popularity and acceptance of care over distance systems among both clinicians and patients. We focus on telementoring solutions, developed for providing remote guidance to less experienced surgeons. Telestration is often regarded as an extra functionality of some telementoring systems. However, we advocate ...
    • High expression of PDGFR-β in prostate cancer stroma is independently associated with clinical and biochemical prostate cancer recurrence 

      Nordby, Yngve; Richardsen, Elin; Rakaee, Mehrdad; Ness, Nora; Dønnem, Tom; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Busund, Lill-Tove; Bremnes, Roy M.; Andersen, Sigve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-02-24)
      Due to a lack of sufficient diagnostic tools to predict aggressive disease, there is a significant overtreatment of patients with prostate cancer. Platelet derived growth factors (PDGFs) and their receptors (PDGFRs) are key regulators of mesenchymal cells in the tumor microenvironment, and has been associated with unfavorable outcome in several other cancers. Herein, we aimed to investigate the ...
    • High miR-205 expression in normal epithelium is associated with biochemical failure - An argument for epithelial crosstalk in prostate cancer? 

      Nordby, Yngve; Richardsen, Elin; Ness, Nora; Dønnem, Tom; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Busund, Lill-Tove; Bremnes, Roy M.; Andersen, Sigve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-24)
      Due to insufficient prognostic tools, failure to predict aggressive prostate cancer (PC) has left patient selection for radical treatment an unsolved challenge. This has resulted in overtreatment with radical therapy. Better prognostic tools are urgently warranted. MicroRNAs (miRs) have emerged as important regulators of cellular pathways, resulting in altered gene expressions. miR-205 has previously ...
    • Isoflurane increases tolerance to renal ischemia reperfusion injury compared to propofol: An experimental study in pigs 

      Roaldsen, Marius Håke; Ciosek, Timothy Allan; Richardsen, Elin; Al-Saad, Samer; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Aarsæther, Erling Johan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-09)
      <i>Purpose</i>: To compare two clinically relevant anesthetic agents, i.e., isoflurane versus propofol with respect to protection of the kidney in a porcine renal ischemia reperfusion model. <p> <p><i>Materials and Methods</i>: 14 hybrid pigs were randomized to anesthesia with either isoflurane or propofol prior to laparoscopic surgery. Following anesthesia, the left kidney hilum was clamped for ...
    • Targets of Wnt/ß-Catenin Transcription in Penile Carcinoma 

      Arya, Manit; Thrasivoulou, Christopher; Henrique, Rui; Millar, Michael; Hamblin, Ruth; Davda, Reena; Aare, Kristina; Masters, John R.; Thomson, Calum; Muneer, Asif; Patel, Hitendra R.H.; Ahmed, Aamir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-22)
      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, ...
