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 ...

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 ...

Emotions are not necessarily universal across different languages and cultures. Mental lexicons of emotions depend strongly on contextual factors, such as language and culture. The Chinese language has unique linguistic properties that are different from other languages. As a main variant of Chinese, Cantonese has some emotional expressions that are only used by Cantonese speakers. Previous work on ...

Background and aims - Biological therapy for inflammatory bowel disease is efficient in many cases but not all. The underlying molecular mechanisms behind non-response to biological therapy in inflammatory bowel disease are poorly described. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the mucosal cytokine transcript profile in non-immunogenic, non-responder patients with adequate trough level.<p> <p>Material ...

Rare variant association tests (RVAT) have been developed to study the contribution of rare variants widely accessible through high-throughput sequencing technologies. RVAT require to aggregate rare variants in testing units and to filter variants to retain only the most likely causal ones. In the exome, genes are natural testing units and variants are usually filtered based on their functional ...

<p><b> Background</b> The transition to parenthood has received increasing attention in research, partly due to evidence pointing out the crucial developmental period of a child’s first thousand days. Parenting programmes aim to prepare and support families in their transition and distress. For a programme to be implemented successfully it is important to consider parents’ needs and resources. ...

Purpose - New physicians need to master non-technical skills (NTS), as high levels of NTS have been shown to increase patient safety. It has also been shown that NTS can be improved through training. This study aimed to establish the necessary NTS for Norwegian medical students to create a tool for formative and summative assessments.<p> <p>Methods - Focus group interviews were conducted with ...

Introduction: Active patient participation is an important factor in optimizing post-stroke recovery, yet it is often low, regardless of stroke severity. The reasons behind this trend are unclear.<p> <p>Purpose: To explore how people who have suffered a stroke, perceive the transition from independence to dependence and whether their role in post-stroke rehabilitation influences active ...

BAKGRUNN - Hud- og bløtvevsinfeksjoner er vanlig hos barn. Vi ønsket å undersøke forekomsten av meticillinresistens blant gule stafylokokker i sårsekret fra barn i Norge.<p> <p>MATERIALE OG METODE - Vi gjennomførte en observasjonsstudie basert på data fra Norsk overvåkingssystem for antibiotikaresistens hos mikrober (NORM) for perioden 2013–21. Resistensdata fra sårsekret med vekst av gule ...

Pediatric neuroradiology is a subspecialty within radiology, with possible pathways to train within the discipline from neuroradiology or pediatric radiology. Formalized pediatric neuroradiology training programs are not available in most European countries. We aimed to construct a European consensus document providing recommendations for the safe practice of pediatric neuroradiology. We particularly ...
