The human polyomavirus KI: A study on cell permissivity, sub-cellular localization of VP1 and presence in cerebrospinal fluid and urine
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2011-11-17)KI polyomavirus (KIPyV) is a relatively newly discovered human polyomavirus originally identified in respiratory tract samples. Little is known about the route of infection or transmission, and the pathogenic properties of this virus are virtually unknown. The life cycle of KIPyV has not been studied as a permissive cell system has not been identified so far. The bona fide sites of viral replication ... -
Behandling og overlevelse ved kronisk myelogen leukemi ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-09-01)Bakgrunn: Kronisk myelogen leukemi er en sjelden blodkreftsykdom i Norge med ca. 45 nye tilfeller i året. Årsaken til sykdommen skyldes en kromosomfeil på kromosom 22, og i de fleste tilfeller dannes det som heter Philadelphiakromosomet. Behandlingen består av tyrosinkinasehemmere, imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, ponatinib og bosutinib. I enkelte tilfeller responderer pasienter så godt på behandlingen, ... -
Erfaringer med smerteevaluering hos respiratorpasienten
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-09-01)Introduksjon: De fleste kritisk syke pasienter opplever smerte og ubehag under oppholdet på intensivavdelingen. Smertene kan komme av traumer, kirurgi, og autonome plager eller daglige prosedyrer. Selvevaluering av smerte betraktes som gullstandarden, intensivpasienten kan ikke alltid uttrykke sin smerte verbalt grunnet mekanisk ventilasjon, eller sedativa. Intensivsykepleieren spiller en viktig ... -
Iron deficiency in pregnancy and perinatal outcome
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is highly prevalent in pregnant women worldwide. While iron deficiency anemia (IDA) has been associated with preterm birth (PTB) and low birth weight (LBW), there is uncertainty about the possible effects of non-anemic ID on birth outcomes. Aim: The objective of this thesis was to investigate whether ID in pregnancy is an independent factor in contributing to LBW and ... -
Kvalitetssikring av legemiddelbruk i akuttmottak
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)Bakgrunn: Legemiddelfeil oppstår i opptil 14% av alle legemiddeladministreringer, og er assosiert med negative konsekvenser for den enkelte pasient, men kan også ha store samfunnsøkonomiske konsekvenser (1, 2). Legemiddelfeil oppstår ofte i akuttmottak (3), og akuttmottaket er derfor et sentralt sted å undersøke kvalitet på legemiddelhåndtering og -bruk. Formål: Formålet med studien er å undersøke ... -
Forekomst av og kjennetegn ved MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries)
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)Bakgrunn: Den vanligste årsaken til hjerteinfarkt er ruptur av et aterosklerotisk plakk som medfører trombedannelse og delvis eller total okklusjon av koronararterien. Hos 5-25% av infarktpasientene finner man likevel ingen påvisbar okklusjon eller stenose ved koronar angiografi. På bakgrunn av dette har betegnelsen Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries (MINOCA) blitt etablert. ... -
Prevalens av gastroøsofageal reflukssykdom og assosiasjon med kjønn, alder, overvekt, røyking, selvrapportert helse og medikamentbruk
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)Innledning og formål Gastroøsofageal reflukssykdom gir plager som halsbrann og sure oppstøt og er en vanlig tilstand. Denne oppgaven presenterer prevalens av reflukssykdom i en norsk befolkning over tid og belyser assosiasjonen mellom reflukssykdom og overvekt, røyking, selvrapportert helse og bruk av syrehemmende medikamenter. Metode Fra den befolkningsbaserte Tromsøundersøkelsen ble 14279 ... -
Lifestyle changes from online information are associated with discussing the information with a doctor A cross-sectional study among members of the Norwegian Diabetes Association
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)Background: The prevalence of diabetes and the use of electronic health (eHealth) are increasing. There are strong indications that lifestyle changes in a positive direction may reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. However, little is known about the association between the use of eHealth and lifestyle changes in people with diabetes. Objective: The objective of this study ... -
Kirurgisk behandling av kronisk analfissur. Tilhelingsrate og forekomst av inkontinens.
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-31)BAKGRUNN: Kronisk analfissur er en smertefull tilstand kjennetegnet med dårlige forhold for tilheling grunnet spasme i interne analsfinkter. Behandlingsmuligheter omfatter konservative tiltak, medisiner og kirurgi. Tailored lateral sfinkterotomi er en kirurgisk prosedyre hvor interne analsfinkter spaltes svarende til fissurens lengde, med påfølgende reduksjon i spasme som fører til bedre blodtilførsel ... -

(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-30)Objective: Chronic subdural hematoma is one of the most common neurosurgical conditions affecting the elderly. In March 2016 there was a change in drainage technique at the neurosurgical department, UNN, Norway from a continuous irrigation system to an active drain. This was following a multi-center study conducted by Sjåvik, Bartek, et.al showing fewer complications, with the same recurrence rate ... -
The Role of Surgery as a Trigger for Incident Venous Thromboembolism
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-08-30)Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a collective term for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Surgery is a major and well-established transient risk factor (i.e. trigger) for VTE in the general population. However, the impact of major surgery on the risk of VTE has not been thoroughly investigated when other concomitant VTE triggers are also taken into account. Aim: The aim of ... -

Radiography students´ experience using e-learning module in the subject nuclear medicine
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-24)Bachelor's degree in radiography is a high-tech health education. The subject nuclear medicine has been characterized by traditional and passive teaching methods with demotivated and inactive radiography students. As a tool to promote student activity, motivation, and learning, we developed and applied a new digital online teaching module in the subject nuclear medicine. In this study, we seek answers ... -
‘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 ... -
Plasma lipopolysaccharide-binding protein is a biomarker for future venous thromboembolism: Results from discovery and validation studies
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-14)Background<p> <p>Effect-size underestimation impedes biomarker identification. Long follow-up time in prospective studies attenuates effect-size estimates for transient biomarkers, while disease category–specific biomarkers are affected by merging of categories. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). <p>Objectives <p>(i) To re-analyze untargeted ... -
