Background: Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for å series of health consequences. A better understanding of appetite regulation can be an important part of providing treatment strategies. When weight is lost, several physiological adaptations, including changes in appetite, take place. Dietary composition seems to affect appetite, and both carbohydrate quantity and quality may play a ...

Background: Norway is one of the countries with the highest rate of colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous research on diet and CRC has been heavily based on nutrients and foods, but new findings indicate that the way we process food may be of importance. However, the findings are contradictory. Further, new findings indicate that CRC risk factors might affect colorectal subsites differently. As the ...

<p><i>Background</i> At present time, antimicrobial resistance is emerging more rapidly than the development of novel antimicrobials, presenting a serious threat to how we prevent and treat infectious diseases. Several treatment strategies to counteract this development have been proposed, among these is the use of collateral sensitivity in clinical treatment. The ability to predict collateral ...

Obesity has become a global health issue and visceral obesity are associated with several lifestyle diseases. Muscle tissue are known to have anti-inflammatory effects, but how the muscle tissue influences the negative association between visceral obesity and inflammatory- and metabolic biomarkers are a not known. The present thesis aims to investigate the association between different body compositions ...

Bakgrunn og formål: I den norske befolkningen er det et relativt stort bruk av legemidler. Bruk av legemidler kan føre til legemiddelfeil og legemiddelrelaterte problemer. Dette kan skje under informasjonsoverføring mellom omsorgsnivå som fra fastlege til sykehjem, eller også i samme enhet som mellom sykehusavdelinger. Mange av pasientskadene på sykehus er legemiddelrelaterte og mange innleggelser ...

<p>Bakgrunn: Bruken av tvang hos personer med demens med utfordrende atferd i sykehjem blir utsatt for minst ett tvangstiltak i løpet av en uke. I demensplanen for 2025 ble det lagt vekt på oppfølging av tvangslovsutvalget og god kompetanse hos helsepersonell for å redusere tvangsbruk. <p>Problemstilling: Hvordan kan sykepleiere forebygge og unngå bruken av tvang hos eldre personer med demens med ...

Every year backcountry skiers are victims of avalanches, and human errors are recognized as one of the most important factors in explaining why these accidents happen. We used an embedded mixed method design, in which the qualitative data was given priority, in order to investigate how backcountry skiers plan, conduct and evaluate trips in avalanche terrain. In all, a sample of 23 backcountry skiers ...

In recent years, many pathogenic bacteria have developed resistance against the existing antimicrobials, a phenomenon known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR). One of the many reasons contributing to the observed failure of current therapies, is the poor drug penetration across the microbial biofilm. Biofilms are small structural communities of bacterial cells that excrete an extracellular polymeric ...

Tittel: Faktorer som påvirker behandling av slagpasienter etter ankomst til sykehus – en litteraturstudie. Bakgrunn: Ved hjerneslag dør 1,9 millioner hjerneceller per minutt. Bruk av tid er avgjørende i denne fasen for å unngå hjerneskade eller potensiell død hos pasienten. Før reperfusjonsbehandling kan bli administrert, må det tas en computer tomografi (CT) for å utelukke at det er en hjerneblødning ...

Objective - Antidepressants are thought to affect the risk of cardiovascular disease, although the nature of the association is unclear. Men and women have unique cardiovascular risk factors, and sex differences in depression as well as the efficacy of antidepressants are important to consider. We examined whether antidepressant use was associated with risk of having a myocardial infarction (MI) and ...
