    • Expression of miR-24-1-5p in Tumor Tissue Influences Prostate Cancer Recurrence: The PROCA-life Study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Wilsgaard, Tom; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Pedersen, Mona Irene; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Giovannucci, Edward; Eggen, Anne Elise; Thune, Inger; Richardsen, Elin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-23)
      The role of miR-24-1-5p and its prognostic implications associated with prostate cancer are mainly unknown. In a population-based cohort, the Prostate Cancer Study throughout life (PROCA-life), all men had a general health examination at study entry and were followed between 1994 and 2016. Patients with available tissue samples after a prostatectomy with curative intent were identified (n = 189). ...

    • Inflammation, hypertension, and microRNA and Prostate Cancer. The Prostate Cancer throughout life (PROCA-life) study 

      Stikbakke, Einar (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-03-31)
      <p><i>Background/Aims:</i> Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men in Norway as well as world-wide, and a major cause of health loss and death with 1.4 million new cases and 375 000 deaths world-wide in 2020. Biological mechanisms involved in PCa development are mainly unknown, but chronic inflammation, one hallmark of cancer development, has been questioned to play a key role in ...

    • Inflammatory serum markers and risk and severity of prostate cancer: The PROCA‐life study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Richardsen, Elin; Knutsen, Tore; Wilsgaard, Tom; Giovannucci, Edward L; McTiernan, Anne; Thune, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-03)
      Whether chronic inflammation mirrored by high levels of systemic inflammatory markers such as high sensitive‐CRP (hs‐CRP) and white blood cell count (WBC) are associated with prostate cancer development remains unclear. In the Prostate Cancer Study throughout Life (PROCA‐<i>life</i>), a prospective population‐based cohort study, 7,356 men were included. Prediagnostic WBC and hs‐CRP were assessed ...

    • An infrared thermographic and laser doppler flowmetric investigation of skin perfusion in the forearm and finger tip : following a short period of vascular stasis 

      Stikbakke, Einar (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-09-15)
      The use of Infrared Thermography to diagnose circulatory problems in the hands is based upon the assumption that a change in skin temperature can be related to a change in skin blood flow. In this study 7 healthy volunteers were exposed to a 3 min period of vascular stasis of the right arm. The resultant reactive hyperaemia with associated skin erythemia was monitored on the forearm and finger tip ...

    • Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, prostate cancer risk, treatment, and survival. The PROCA-life study 

      Stikbakke, Einar; Schirmer, Henrik; Knutsen, Tore; Støyten, Martin; Wilsgaard, Tom; Giovannucci, Edward L.; McTiernan, Anne; Eggen, Anne Elise; Haugnes, Hege Sagstuen; Richardsen, Elin; Thune, Inger (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-22)
      Background: Inflammation has been linked to prostate cancer and hypertension, but it remains equivocal whether elevated blood pressure (BP) influence prostate cancer risk and survival.<p> <p>Method: Using Cox regression models, we examined the association between prediagnostic BP and prostate cancer risk among 12,271 men participating in the Prostate Cancer throughout life (PROCA-life) study. ...
