Five-minute Apgar score ≤ 5 and molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) - a case control study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-22)Background: The aetiology of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) is unclear. The asymmetric distribution of MIH in the dentition may indicate that an insult of short duration that affects ameloblasts at a vulnerable stage could be a causative factor. Apgar ≤ 5 at 5 min may indicate asphyxia (hypoxic-ischemic insult) during birth. It was hypnotised that low Apgar score during birth may cause MIH. ... -
Longitudinal Evidence for Smaller Hippocampus Volume as a Vulnerability Factor for Perceived Stress
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)Hippocampal volume has been found to be smaller in individuals with stress-related disorders, but it remains unclear whether smaller volume is a consequence of stress or rather a vulnerability factor. Here, we examined this issue by relating stress levels to hippocampal volumes in healthy participants examined every 5 years in a longitudinal population-based study. Based on scores of 25- to ... -

Diversity and anti-fungal susceptibility of Norwegian Candida glabrata clinical isolates
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-08)BACKGROUND: Increasing numbers of immunocompromised patients have resulted in greater incidence of invasive fungal infections with high mortality. Candida albicans infections dominate, but during the last decade, Candida glabrata has become the second highest cause of candidemia in the United States and Northern Europe. Reliable and early diagnosis, together with appropriate choice of antifungal ... -
Development and validation of an instrument to assess oral health literacy in Norwegian adult dental patients
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-05)Objective: To develop and validate an interview instrument to assess oral health literacy in Norwegian adult dental patients. <p/>Materials and methods: The instrument, Adult Health Literacy Instrument for Dentistry (AHLID), was based on an OECD instrument used to assess general literacy in adults. 130 Norwegian adults (mean age 48 years; 57% women) participated. AHLID included a selection of ... -
Fracture resistance of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing-generated composite resin-based molar crowns
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-16)The aim of this study was to investigate whether different fabrication processes, such as the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system or the manual build-up technique, affect the fracture resistance of composite resin-based crowns. Lava Ultimate (LU), Estenia C&B (EC&B), and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic IPS e.max press (EMP) were used. Four types of molar crowns were ... -

Secondary caries and microleakage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-28)Objectives: To critically appraise experimental ex vivo research that has focused on secondary caries, and to offer possible explanations for the seemingly poor correlation to clinical observations. <p>Methods: The literature relating to the etiopathogenesis or prevention of secondary caries gained from experimental ex vivo research was reviewed, with particular emphasis on microleakage and ... -
Comparing caries risk profiles between 5- and 10- year-old children with cleft lip and/or palate and non-cleft controls
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-25)Background: Previous studies have suggested that children with oral clefts may have higher caries prevalence in comparison with non-cleft controls but the relative importance of the potential risk factors is not clear. The aim of this study was to compare the caries risk profiles in a group of cleft lip and/or palate (CL(P)) children with non-cleft controls in the same age using a computerized ... -

Nuclear Legumain Activity in Colorectal Cancer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)The cysteine protease legumain is involved in several biological and pathological processes, and the protease has been found over-expressed and associated with an invasive and metastatic phenotype in a number of solid tumors. Consequently, legumain has been proposed as a prognostic marker for certain cancers, and a potential therapeutic target. Nevertheless, details on how legumain advances ... -
Language of motivation and emotion in an internet support group for smoking cessation: Explorative use of automated content analysis to measure regulatory focus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)The present study describes a novel approach to the identification of the motivational processes in text data extracted from an Internet support group (ISG) for smoking cessation. Based on the previous findings that a “prevention” focus might be more relevant for maintaining behavior change, it was hypothesized that 1) language use (ie, the use of emotional words) signaling a “promotion” focus would ... -
