Lekva, Tove; Sundaram, Arvind; Roland, Marie Cecilie; Åsheim, June; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Norwitz, Errol R.; Aukrust, Pål; Gilfillan, Gregor; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-23)

Background - Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increased in preeclampsia (PE) and are associated with severity and progression. We examined in this exploratory cohort study if the mRNAs and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in plasma-derived EVs were dysregulated in PE compared to normal pregnancy and display different temporal patterns during gestation.<p> <p>Methods - We isolated EVs ...

Determinants of practice for providing decision coaching to facilitate informed values-based decision-making: Protocol for a mixed-methods systematic review

Berger-Höger, Birte; Lewis, Krystina B.; Cherry, Katherine; Finderup, Jeanette; Gunderson, Janet; Kaden, Jana; Kienlin, Simone Maria; Rahn, Anne C.; Sikora, Lindsey; Stacey, Dawn; Steckelberg, Anke; Zhao, Junqiang (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-15)

Introduction - Decision coaching is a non-directive approach to support patients to prepare for making health decisions. It is used to facilitate patients’ involvement in informed values-based decision-making and use of evidence-based health information. A recent systematic review revealed low certainty evidence for its effectiveness with and without evidence-based information. However, there may ...

Differences in mammography screening attendance among non-Western immigrants in Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway

Njor, Sisse Helle; Heinävaara, Sirpa; Stefansdóttir, Hrefna; Nygård, Mari; Guðmundsdóttir, Eva María; Bhargava, Sameer; Leivonen, Aku; Campbell, Suzanne; Søborg, Bo; Hofvind, Solveig Sand-Hanssen; Sarkeala, Tytti; Vejborg, Ilse; Lamminmäki, Maarit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-22)

Several studies have shown that attendance rates are lower among non-Western immigrants than among natives. As the Nordic countries have quite similar health systems and populations but also differences in the organisation of their organised mammography screening programmes, differences in attendance rates could highlight organisational factors that might increase the attendance rates. Mammography ...

Cerebrospinal fluid neurofilament light chain mediates age-associated lower learning and memory in healthy adults

Hemminghyth, Mathilde Suhr; Chwiszczuk, Luiza; Breitve, Monica Haraldseid; Gisladottir, Berglind; Grøntvedt, Gøril Rolfseng; Nakling, Arne Exner; Rongve, Arvid; Fladby, Tormod; Kirsebom, Bjørn-Eivind Seljelid (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-27)

Multiple cognitive domains, including learning, memory, and psychomotor speed, show significant reductions with age. Likewise, several cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurodegenerative biomarkers, including total tau (t-tau, a marker of neuronal body injury) and neurofilament light chain (NfL, a marker of axonal injury) show age-related increases in normal aging. In the current study, we aimed to investigate ...

The current status of environmental forensic science in the member institutes of the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI)

Mäkelä, Tuukka; Huhtala, Sami; Lindqvist, Mimmi A.; Bucht, Rebecca (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-04)

The paper presents the results of a questionnaire survey carried out by The Forensic laboratory of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI-FL), aiming to get an overview of the current status of environmental forensic science (EFS) and environmental crimes investigation in the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI). A questionnaire was sent out to 71 ENFSI member institutes and ...

Shell-Based Finite Element Modeling of Herøysund Bridge in Norway

Azad, Zeeshan; Singh, Harpal; Nicoletti, Vanni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-23)

This paper thoroughly examines the application of the Finite Element Method (FEM) to the numerical modal analysis of Herøysund Bridge, focusing on the theoretical backdrop, the construction process, and FEM techniques. This work examines the specific applied FEM approaches and their advantages and disadvantages. This Herøysund Bridge analysis employs a two-pronged strategy consisting of a 3D–solid ...

Jakten på Varangermarkedet – søk etter flerkulturelle møter i et samisk landskap

Spangen, Marte; Kleppe, Jan Ingolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-29)

Den 6. mars 1530 skriver Hans Eriksson brev til erkebiskop Engelbrektson for å rapportere at han reiste fra «Slotthet» ni dager etter jul for å handle med russerne. Russerne møtte imidlertid ikke opp fordi de hadde blitt innkalt til «kungen af Rysseland». Eriksson forteller dessuten at det hadde brutt ut strid mellom de kristne og de hedenske karelerne, slik at disse gruppene heller ikke var ...

The intra-individual reliability of 1H-MRS measurement in the anterior cingulate cortex across 1 year

Wang, Mengyun; Korbmacher, Max; Eikeland, Rune; Craven, Alexander R.; Specht, Karsten (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-20)

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is the primary method that can measure the levels of metabolites in the brain in vivo. To achieve its potential in clinical usage, the reliability of the measurement requires further articulation. Although there are many studies that investigate the reliability of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), comparatively few studies have investigated the reliability of ...

Vitamin D – a scoping review for Nordic nutrition recommendations 2023

Brustad, Magritt; Meyer, Haakon Eduard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-13)

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient. Its role in calcium and phosphorous metabolism, and in the development and maintenance of a healthy skeleton is well documented. In addition, there is some evidence for vitamin D decreasing total mortality and cancer mortality modestly, but not cancer incidence. Vitamin D is unique, as both diet and sun induced production in skin are sources to this vitamin. ...

Social media as an effective provider of quality assured and accurate information to increase vaccine rates: A systematic review

Hansen, Rita-Kristin; Baiju, Nikita; Gabarron, Elia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-26)

Background: Vaccination programs are instrumental in prolonging and improving people’s lives by preventing diseases such as measles, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and influenza from escalating into fatal epidemics. Despite the significant impact of these programs, a substantial number of individuals, including 20 million infants annually, lack sufficient access to vaccines. Therefore, it is ...

Availability of fresh water in cold climate regions

Awong, Nu Dah; Gudmestad, Ove Tobias (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-21)

Challenges related to the availability of fresh water in cold climate regions are discussed with emphasis on possible degradation of the quality of drinking water. The permafrost in this region has been consistent in making sure there is little drainage in the ground. This is important, as fresh water is mainly supplied through melting water from snow and ice in the many winter months. Climate ...

Gradually decreasing daylength after smoltification induced by “winter signal“ reduced sexual maturation in male Atlantic salmon

Skjold, Vetle; Rørvik, Kjell-Arne; Sveen, Lene; Burgerhout, Erik; Mota, Vasco C.; Weihe, Runi; Ytrestøyl, Trine; Bou, Marta; Jacobsen, Hans Jakup; Allaoui, Giovanni; Fuskevåg, Ole-Martin; Dessen, Jens-Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-16)

Introduction: Maturation in seawater-adapted (smoltified) male Atlantic salmon is undesirable yet frequently reported in fish weighing up to 1 kg reared under intensive conditions in land-based facilities. Although the photoperiod regulates both smoltification and maturation, the optimal post-smoltification regimen for the prevention of maturation is unclear.<p> <p>Methods: In this study, ...
