Functional transcriptomics in 17 year-old blood samples? Yes, we can! -Long-term RNA in situ stability in blood samples collected in PAXgene Blood RNA Tubes (PreAnalytiX GmbH) collected in 2003
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2021)Analysis of blood RNA transcription profiles is hindered by ex vivogene expression changes, as well as degradation and loss of RNA over time during specimen transportation and storage. The PAXgeneBlood RNA System was developed by PreAnalytiXto overcome these problems. So far, quality control data has shown that the PAXgene Blood RNA System stabilizes and preserves RNA in blood specimens for up to ... -

Adherence to lifestyle recommendations among Norwegian cancer survivors and the impact of traditional and complementary medicine use: the Tromsø Study 2015–2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-19)Introduction Adherence to healthy lifestyle recommendations has positive effects on cancer outcomes yet adherence is low among cancer survivors. Differences in adherence between women and men, phase of survivorship, and other factors that might increase adherence, like the use of traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM), need to be explored. We aimed to study the adherence to national recommendations ... -
Effects of Interventions to Prevent Work-Related Asthma, Allergy, and Other Hypersensitivity Reactions in Norwegian Salmon Industry Workers (SHInE): Protocol for a Pragmatic Allocated Intervention Trial and Related Substudies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-07)Background: Workers in the salmon processing industry have an increased risk of developing respiratory diseases and other hypersensitivity responses due to occupational exposure to bioaerosols containing fish proteins and microorganisms, and related allergens. Little is known about effective measures to reduce bioaerosol exposure and about the extent of skin complaints among workers. In addition, ... -
C-reactive protein point-of-care testing for safely reducing antibiotics for acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: The PACE RCT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03)Background - Most patients presenting with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) in primary care are prescribed antibiotics, but these may not be beneficial, and they can cause side effects and increase the risk of subsequent resistant infections. Point-of-care tests (POCTs) could safely reduce inappropriate antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial resistance.<p> ... -
Association of Mediterranean diet with survival after breast cancer diagnosis in women from nine European countries: results from the EPIC cohort study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-26)Background - The Mediterranean diet has been associated with lower risk of breast cancer (BC) but evidence from prospective studies on the role of Mediterranean diet on BC survival remains sparse and conflicting. We aimed to investigate whether adherence to Mediterranean diet prior to diagnosis is associated with overall and BC-specific mortality.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 13,270 incident breast ... -
Educational interventions to ensure provision of doctors in rural areas - a systematic review
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-10)Introduction: Recruiting doctors in rural areas is challenging.

This study aimed to explore undergraduate medical education interventions introduced to recruit doctors to rural areas, and the results of these interventions. Methods: We undertook a systematic search using search words 'rural', 'remote', 'workforce', 'physicians', ... -
13-Type HPV DNA Test versus 5-Type HPV mRNA Test in Triage of Women Aged 25–33 Years with Minor Cytological Abnormalities–6 Years of Follow-Up
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-25)Background: A specific, cost-effective triage test for minor cytological abnormalities is essential for cervical cancer screening among younger women to reduce overmanagement and unnecessary healthcare utilization. We compared the triage performance of one 13-type human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test and one 5-type HPV mRNA test. Methods: We included 4115 women aged 25–33 years with a screening ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-14)Background - The atherosclerotic effect of an adverse lipid profile is assumed to accumulate throughout life, leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Still, little is known about age at onset and duration of unfavorable lipid levels before MI.<p> <p>Methods and Results - Longitudinal data on serum lipid levels for 26 130 individuals (50.5% women, aged 20–89 years) were obtained ... -
Evaluation of Synthetic Categorical Data Generation Techniques for Predicting Cardiovascular Diseases and Post-Hoc Interpretability of the Risk Factors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-23)Machine Learning (ML) methods have become important for enhancing the performance of decision-support predictive models. However, class imbalance is one of the main challenges for developing ML models, because it may bias the learning process and the model generalization ability. In this paper, we consider oversampling methods for generating synthetic categorical clinical data aiming to improve the ... -
Amplified disparities: The association between spousal education and own health
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-11)Positive associations between own educational attainment and own health have been extensively documented. Studies have also shown spousal educational attainment to be associated with own health. This paper investigates the extent to which spousal education contributes to the social gradient in health, net of own education; and whether parts of a seeming spousal education effect are attributable to ... -
Pre-diagnostic intake of vitamin D and incidence of colorectal cancer by anatomical subsites: the Norwegian Women and Cancer Cohort Study (NOWAC)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-09)According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, vitamin D might decrease the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).
