    • Assessing and Improving EHRs Data Quality through a Socio-technical Approach 

      Darko-Yawson, Samuel; Ellingsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-21)
      The implementation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in developing countries is considered a means for improving data quality and high quality care. However, existing research, indicate that EHRs have recorded greater quantity of bad data instead of improving the quality of data. The reasons for this is not exactly clear. Accordingly, this paper takes a broader socio-technical approach to explore ...

    • Concepts of ‘self’ in delusion resolution 

      Longenecker, Julia; Hui, Christy; Chen, Eric YH; Elvevåg, Brita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-04)
      The concept of ‘self’ has a pivotal role in psychotic symptoms (Conrad, 1958), but its utility in the treatment process has been limited. Since perceptions of ‘self’ – and of ‘others’ – change as symptoms evolve and resolve (Parnas andHandest, 2003), if appropriately assayed this concept provides a unique entry-point through which the congruity between delusions and illness can be examined. The ...

    • The Association Between Adiponectin, Serum Uric Acid and Urinary Markers of Renal Damage in the General Population: Cross-Sectional Data from the Tromsø Study 

      Solbu, Marit Dahl; Norvik, Jon Viljar; Storhaug, Hilde-Merete; Eriksen, Bjørn Odvar; Melsom, Toralf; Eggen, Anne Elise; Zykova, Svetlana; Kronborg, Jens; Jenssen, Trond Geir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-14)

      Introduction: Coagulation and fibrinolysis remain sparsely addressed with regards to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We hypothesized that ARDS development might be associated with changes in plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis. Our aim was to investigate the relationships between ARDS diagnosis and plasma concentrations of tissue factor (TF), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), and ...

    • Effects of Constant Flow vs. Constant Pressure Perfusion on Fluid Filtration in Severe Hypothermic Isolated Blood-Perfused Rat Lungs 

      Halsøy, Kathrine; Kondratyev, Timofey; Tveita, Torkjel; Bjertnæs, Lars J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-23)
      Victims of severe accidental hypothermia are prone to fluid extravasation but rarely develop lung edema. We hypothesize that combined hypothermia-induced increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and a concomitant fall in cardiac output protect the lungs against edema development. Our aim was to explore in hypothermic- isolated blood-perfused rat lungs whether perfusion at constant ...

    • Seasonal changes in vitamin D-effective UVB availability in Europe and associations with population serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D 

      O'Neill, Colette M; Kazantzidis, Andreas; Ryan, Mary J; Barber, Niamh; Sempos, Christopher T.; Durazo-Arvizu, Ramon A.; Jorde, Rolf; Grimnes, Guri; Eiriksdottir, Gudny; Gudnason, Vilmundur; Cotch, Mary Frances; Kiely, Mairead; Webb, Ann R; Cashman, Kevin D (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-30)
      Low vitamin D status is common in Europe. The major source of vitamin D in humans is ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced dermal synthesis of cholecalciferol, whereas food sources are believed to play a lesser role. Our objectives were to assess UVB availability (Jm−2) across several European locations ranging from 35° N to 69° N, and compare these UVB data with representative population serum 25-hydroxyvitamin ...
