<p>Introduction: The association between respiratory support and lung disease is known. This study analysed the duration of different respiratory managements for preterm infants born before week 28 and between week 28-31 and preterm infants with BPD. Regional differences were also evaluated. <p>Materials and methods: a nationwide population-based registry study, and the data is gathered from ...

Technology and innovations have been rapidly evolving and infiltrating almost every aspect of human lives. These innovations have allowed humanity to excel in unprecedented manners. State, market, and culture form the basis of a society, and Big Tech companies have now captured all. Through online surveillance, political advertising online, and algorithmic targeting, there have been serious implications ...

Tema for avhandlingen er hvorvidt Etterretningstjenestens foreslåtte adgang til å benytte overvåkningsmetoden "tilrettelagt innhenting", er i tråd med de menneskerettslige kravene etter Den europeiske menneskerettighetskonvensjonen (EMK) artikkel 8.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate a manual sperm sorting method (Swim-up) and a non-invasive microfluidics method (Zymot microfluidics) with emphasis on formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA fragmentation as objective measurements of spermatozoa quality. Standard phase contrast imaging of spermatozoa was compared with quantitative phase contrast microscopy (QPM) ...

The human polyomavirus BKPyV infects most people worldwide and establishes a lifelong persistent infection in the renourinary tract. The virus rarely gives symptoms in healthy people, but it can cause severe disease under certain immunocompromised states. Despite its high prevalence, our knowledge about how the virus evades host immunity and persists still poor. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) ...

Atmospheric methane oxidizing bacteria (atmMOB) are the only known organisms that can consume methane (CH₄) directly from the air. Therefore, they are referred to as biological CH₄ sink. CH₄ is a potent greenhouse gas, and its increasing atmospheric concentration accelerates global warming. By consuming the CH₄ from the air, atmMOB mitigate global warming. ...

<p><i>Objectives:</i> Most international studies have shown that religion and spirituality (R/S) are related to better mental health, yet the Indigenous Sámi—being more committed to R/S than the majority population in the area—have poorer mental health and are more inclined toward suicidal behavior. Laestadianism—an important R/S factor for these people and this region—is related to poorer mental ...

No previous studies have investigated the systemic absorption of bupivacaine when used topically for posttonsillectomy pain. The present study was undertaken to investigate the pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine after administration by a swab in the tonsillar fossae over 4 min after tonsillectomy. Eleven adult patients undergoing elective tonsillectomy were recruited. After removal of both tonsils, ...

Siktemålet med avhandlingen er å kartlegge hvilke rettslige mekanismer virksomheten som omfattes av åpenhetsloven kan bruke for å sikre seg overfor deres medkontrahenter som ikke omfattes av åpenhetsloven.

<p>Modern medicine is threatened by the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). New agents with unique structures and mechanisms of action are urgently needed to address the problems associated with AMR. To effectively address this challenge, a proper understanding of the structure-activity relationship is required to decipher the mechanism of action of novel compounds. Template-based design ...
