      Kraft, Kristian Bandlien; Hoff, Eivor Hovde; Nylenna, Magne; Moe, Cathrine Fredriksen; Mykletun, Arnstein; Østby, Kristian Amundsen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-15)
      Background Fee-for-service is a common payment model for remunerating general practitioners (GPs) in OECD countries. In Norway, GPs earn two-thirds of their income through fee-for-service, which is determined by the number of consultations and procedures they register as fees. In general, fee-for-service incentivises many and short consultations and is associated with high service provision. GPs ...
    • Characterization and prognostic value of lymphatic vessels in an oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma cohort 

      Andersson Cronblad, Ida; Warvik, Cathrine Elise; Bjerkli, Inger-Heidi; Eriksson Steigen, Sonja; Uhlin-Hansen, Lars; Magnussen, Synnøve; Hadler-Olsen, Elin; Wirsing, Anna Maria (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2022-05-21)
      Tumor lymphangiogenesis increases the area of interaction between lymphatic vessels and tumor cells, and may thereby facilitate metastases. In oral cancer high lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and large lymphatic vessel area (LVA) have been associated with more aggressive tumors, but results from different studies are not conclusive. The aim of this study was to assess the association of tumor-associated ...
