Simple cardiovascular risk stratification by replacing total serum cholesterol with anthropometric measures: The MORGAM prospective cohort project
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-27)To assess whether anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], waist-hip ratio [WHR], and estimated fat mass [EFM]) are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and to assess their added prognostic value compared with serum total-cholesterol. The study population comprised 109,509 individuals (53% men) from the MORGAM-Project, aged 19–97 years, without established ... -
The impact of long-term azithromycin on antibiotic resistance in HIV-associated chronic lung disease
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-07)Selection for resistance to azithromycin (AZM) and other antibiotics such as tetracyclines and lincosamides remains a concern with long-term AZM use for treatment of chronic lung diseases (CLD). We investigated the impact of 48 weeks of AZM on the carriage and antibiotic resistance of common respiratory bacteria among children with HIV-associated CLD. Nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs and sputa were ... -

‘Beyond my Control’: Dealing with the Existential Uncertainty of Cancer in Online Texts
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-14)In this paper, we explore how existential aspects of being diagnosed and living with cancer are shared in stories that are publicly communicated online. Through a narrative analysis of online texts and blogs, we explore how people deal with their cancer experiences, how cultural norms about illness are expressed in their stories and why they write and publish their stories online. We found that the ... -
Associations with Post-Consultation Health-Status in Primary Care Managed Acute Exacerbation of COPD
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-16)Background: It has been demonstrated that antibiotic prescribing for Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (AECOPD) can be safely reduced in primary care when general practitioners have access to C-reactive protein (CRP) rapid testing.<p> <p>Aim: To investigate the factors associated with post-consultation COPD health status in patients presenting with AECOPD in this sett ... -
Helseundersøkelsen i Arkhangelsk 2000
(Others; Andre, 2003)Institutt for samfunnsmedisin ved Universitetet i Tromsø har siden slutten av 1980-tallet hatt samarbeide med klinikere og forskere fra Universitetet i Arkhangelsk. Dette samarbeidet har resultert i utveksling av helsepersonell og studenter, flere utviklings- og forskningsprosjekter har blitt igangsatt og avsluttet, og en rekke felles møter og konferanser om situasjonen for folkehelsen i Russland ... -
Comparing the New Interdisciplinary Health in Work Intervention With Conventional Monodisciplinary Welfare Interventions at Norwegian Workplaces: Protocol for a Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Trial
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-07)Background: Musculoskeletal and mental health complaints are the dominant diagnostic categories in long-term sick leave and disability pensions in Norway. Continuing to work despite health complaints is often beneficial, and a good work environment can improve work inclusion for people affected. In 2001, the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration began to offer inclusive work measures to ... -
Pooled analysis of all-cause and cause-specific mortality among Nordic military veterans following international deployment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-12)Objectives - To investigate all-cause and cause-specific mortality risks, including deaths from external, cardiovascular and cancer causes, among deployed Nordic military veterans in comparison to the general population in each country.<p> <p>Design - Pooled analysis.<p> <p>Setting - Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden.<p> <p>Participants - Military veterans deployed between 1990 and 2010 ... -
Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Method to Predict Cerebral Palsy From Spontaneous Movements in Infants at High Risk
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-11)Importance Early identification of cerebral palsy (CP) is important for early intervention, yet expert-based assessments do not permit widespread use, and conventional machine learning alternatives lack validity. Objective To develop and assess the external validity of a novel deep learning–based method to predict CP based on videos of infants’ spontaneous movements at 9 to 18 weeks’ corrected ... -
ILSA 2017 in Tromsø : proceedings from the 42nd annual conference of the International Lung Sound Association
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017)The usefulness of lung auscultation is changing. It depends on how well practitioners understand the generation of sounds. It also depends on their knowledge on how lung sounds are associated with lung and heart diseases, as well as with other factors such as ageing and smoking habits. In clinical practice, practitioners need to give sufficient attention to lung auscultation, and they should use ... -
Dietary intakes of dioxins and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and breast cancer risk in 9 European countries
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-26)Background: Dioxins and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) are persistent organic pollutants that have demonstrated endocrine disrupting properties. Several of these chemicals are carcinogenic and positive associations have been suggested with breast cancer risk. In general population, diet represents the main source of exposure.<p><p> Methods: Associations between dietary intake of 17 dioxins and 35 PCBs ... -
Anti-cancer therapy is associated with long-term epigenomic changes in childhood cancer survivors
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-30)BACKGROUND: Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) exhibit significantly increased chronic diseases and premature death. Abnormalities in DNA methylation are associated with development of chronic diseases and reduced life expectancy. We investigated the hypothesis that anti-cancer treatments are associated with long-term DNA methylation changes that could be key drivers of adverse late health ... -
Epigenetic mechanisms of lung carcinogenesis involve differentially methylated CpG sites beyond those associated with smoking
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-20)Smoking-related epigenetic changes have been linked to lung cancer, but the contribution of epigenetic alterations unrelated to smoking remains unclear. We sought for a sparse set of CpG sites predicting lung cancer and explored the role of smoking in these associations. We analysed CpGs in relation to lung cancer in participants from two nested case–control studies, using (LASSO)-penalised ... -
