Synthetic Oligodeoxynucleotide CpG Motifs Activate Human Complement through Their Backbone Structure and Induce Complement-Dependent Cytokine Release
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)Bacterial and mitochondrial DNA, sharing an evolutionary origin, act as danger-associated molecular patterns in infectious and sterile inflammation. They both contain immunomodulatory CpG motifs. Interactions between CpG motifs and the complement system are sparsely described, and mechanisms of complement activation by CpG remain unclear. Lepirudin-anticoagulated human whole blood and plasma were ... -

(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)Biologisk kjønn har betydning for kliniske utfall, og kunnskap om kjønnsforskjeller i behandlingsutfall kan bidra til sikrere og mer tilpasset behandling for pasienter. Hensikten med denne kartleggingsoversikten var å undersøke bruken av kjønnsstratifiserte analyser i studier på effekt av behandling i en norsk sammenheng.<p> <p>Vi utførte en kartleggingsoversikt. Det er en type kunnskapsoppsummering ... -
Impulse-driven oscillations of the near-Earth's magnetosphere
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-09)It is argued that a simple model based on magnetic image arguments suffices to give a convincing insight into both the basic static as well as some transient dynamic properties of the near-Earth's magnetosphere, particularly accounting for damped oscillations being excited in response to impulsive perturbations. The parameter variations of the frequency are given. Qualitative results can also be ... -
Nasjonale og regionale melde- og varselordninger for uønskede hendelser i pasientbehandlingen: systematisk oversikt
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022)Alle virksomheter som yter helse- og omsorgstjenester skal arbeide systematisk for å redusere risiko for pasientskade som følge av tjenesteytelsen eller mangel på ytelse. Likevel oppstår uønskede hendelser av varierende alvorlighetsgrad. Anslagsvis rammer uønskede hendelser én av ti pasienter i norske sykehus. Norske virksomheter som yter helse- og omsorgstjenester plikter å varsle om alvorlige ... -

Utvalgt forskning om melde- og varselordninger i helse- og omsorgstje-nesten: forenklet metodevurdering – kartlegging
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-10)En nylig utført systematisk oversikt viste at det ikke finnes forskning som har undersøkt effekten av nasjonale og regionale, generelle melde- og varselordninger på alvorlige hendelser i helse- og omsorgstjenesten. Derfor var det hensiktsmessig å undersøke forskning som har sett på tilgrensende problemstillinger.<p> <p>Formålet med dette arbeidet var å kartlegge studier om mulige sammenhenger ... -
Association of Klotho protein levels and KL-VS heterozygosity with Alzheimer disease and amyloid and tau burden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-22)Importance Identification of proteins and genetic factors that reduce Alzheimer disease (AD) pathology is of importance when searching for novel AD treatments. Heterozygosity of the KL-VS haplotype has been associated with reduced amyloid and tau burden. Whether this association is mediated by the Klotho protein remains unclear. Objectives To assess concentrations of Klotho in cerebrospinal ... -
Longitudinal Predictors of Listening Comprehension in Bilingual Primary School-Aged Children
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-17)Research on monolingual children has shown that listening comprehension is predicted by a range of language and cognitive skills; less is known about predictors of listening comprehension in bilingual children and about the role of language input. This study presents longitudinal data on predictors of English listening comprehension in 100 bilingual children between the ages of 5;8 and 6;8 years. ... -
Circulating Isovalerylcarnitine and Lung Cancer Risk: Evidence from Mendelian Randomization and Prediagnostic Blood Measurements
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-04)Background: Tobacco exposure causes 8 of 10 lung cancers, and identifying additional risk factors is challenging due to confounding introduced by smoking in traditional observational studies.<p> <p>Materials and Methods: We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to screen 207 metabolites for their role in lung cancer predisposition using independent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of blood ... -
Effectiveness of a fourth dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine against all-cause mortality in long-term care facility residents and in the oldest old: A nationwide, retrospective cohort study in Sweden
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-13)<p><b> Background:</b> The effect of a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine on the risk of death in the oldest and frailest individuals is unknown. <p><b> Methods</b> Two matched cohorts were formed using Swedish nationwide registers. In the first, residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs) given a fourth dose of an mRNA vaccine from 1 January 2022 onwards were matched 1:1 on birth year and ... -
Sex differences in arterial hypertension
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-22)There is strong evidence that sex chromosomes and sex hormones influence blood pressure (BP) regulation, distribution of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and co-morbidities differentially in females and males with essential arterial hypertension. The risk for CV disease increases at a lower BP level in females than in males, suggesting that sex-specific thresholds for diagnosis of hypertension may ... -
Metallaaromaticity - a protean world
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-01)The nature of magnetically induced current densities (MICD) of metallabenzenes and related compounds has been examined with relativistic DFT calculations to assess the magnetic aromaticity of the molecules. The origin of the total MICD has been analyzed in terms of individual molecular orbital (MO) contributions. Our study reveals that the s-framework of the molecules always makes a diamagnetic ... -

Effect of the Nordmøre grid bar spacing on size selectivity, catch efficiency and bycatch of the Barents Sea Northern shrimp fishery
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-27)The introduction of the Nordmøre grid in shrimp trawls has reduced the bycatch of non-target species. In the Norwegian Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) fishery, the mandatory selective gear consists of a Nordmøre grid with 19 mm bar spacing combined with a 35 mm mesh size diamond mesh codend. However, fish bycatch in shrimp trawls remains a challenge and further modifications of the gear that ... -
Long-Term Telerehabilitation or Unsupervised Training at Home for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)Rationale: Despite the benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), many patients do not access or complete pulmonary rehabilitation, and long-term maintenance of exercise is difficult. Objectives: To compare long-term telerehabilitation or unsupervised treadmill training at home with standard care. Methods: In an international randomized controlled trial, ... -
New integrated molecular approaches for investigating lake settlements in north-western Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-28)Lake settlements, particularly crannogs, pose several contradictions—visible yet inaccessible, widespread yet geographically restricted, persistent yet vulnerable. To further our understanding, we developed the integrated use of palaeolimnological (scanning XRF, pollen, spores, diatoms, chironomids, Cladocera, microcharcoal, biogenic silica, SEM-EDS, stable-isotopes) and biomolecular (faecal stanols, ... -
Behavioural responses of wild anadromous Arctic char experimentally infested in situ with salmon lice
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-24)Salmon lice can impact the marine behaviour, growth, and survival of salmonids, but little is known about their effects on Arctic char. We present behavioural responses from the first dose-response experiment with wild anadromous Arctic char (n = 50) infested in situ with salmon lice (0.0–1.2 lice g<sup>−1</sup> fish) in an area with low natural infestations. Infested fish spent less time at sea ...
