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, ... -
Docetaxel Liposomes - A formulation Screening Study
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2019)<p>Docetaxel (DOC) is a potent anticancer drug with several limitations, including poor solubility and the reported serious side effects, attributed to either the drug itself or the solvent used. Thus, it is interesting to entrap the drug into liposomes in order to solubilize the drug and improve the therapeutic outcome. <p>The fist aim of this study was to establish a small-scale screening method ... -

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> ... -
User satisfaction with antenatal care in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-31)Background - In Norway, antenatal care is delivered free of charge in the municipality. Satisfaction with care is considered to be an important predictor of utilization of health care. The aim of this study was to examine women's satisfaction with antenatal care, and to identify factors that predict overall satisfaction with the service.<p> <p>Methods - A total of 611 women completed a survey ... -
How we treat octogenarians with brain metastases
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-08)Biologically younger, fully independent octogenarians are able to tolerate most oncological treatments. Increasing frailty results in decreasing eligibility for certain treatments, e.g., chemotherapy and surgery. Most brain metastases are not an isolated problem, but part of widespread cancer dissemination, often in combination with compromised performance status. Multidisciplinary assessment ... -
PRO: Do We Still Need Whole-Brain Irradiation for Brain Metastases?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-15)(1) Background: In recent decades, the use of whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) in the treatment of brain metastases has significantly decreased, with clinicians fearing adverse neurocognitive events and data showing limited efficacy regarding local tumor control and overall survival. The present study thus aimed to reassess the role that WBRT holds in the treatment of brain metastases. (2) ... -
Impact of a staggered scaffold structure on the mechanical properties and cell response in bone tissue engineering
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-20)The primary goal of bone tissue engineering is to fabricate scaffolds that can provide a microenvironment similar to that of natural bone. Therefore, various scaffolds have been designed to replicate the bone structure. Although most tissues exhibit complicated structures, their basic structural unit includes stiff platelets arranged in a staggered microarray. Therefore, many researchers have ... -
Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Invasive Bacterial Infections in Children—A Population-Based Study From Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05)Objective: To describe epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) data of bacteria causing invasive infections in Norwegian children (0–18 years).<p> <p>Methods: Population-based observational study using prospectively collected AST data from the Norwegian Surveillance System of Antimicrobial Resistance from 2013 to 2017. We included all clinically relevant bacterial isolates ... -
Executive functioning as a moderator of flossing behaviour among young adults: a temporal self-regulation theory perspective
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-27)Background - Flossing among young adults is often infrequent and barriers not completely understood. One explanation concerns the capacity for executive functioning (EF) during the self-regulation of behaviour.<p> <p>Methods - Using Temporal Self-Regulation Theory (TST) as a framework to explore EF, young adults from Norwegian universities completed a survey that measured monthly flossing frequency, ... -
Pro-arrhythmic effect of escitalopram and citalopram at serum concentrations commonly observed in older patients – a study based on a cohort of 19,742 patients
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-26)Background - For a decade, patients have been advised against using high citalopram- and escitalopram-doses due to risk for ventricular arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Still, these drugs are widely used to treat depression and anxiety especially in older patients. It is unclear why they are cardiotoxic and at what serum concentrations patients are at risk for arrhythmias. Thus, how many patients that ... -
Evaluating the suitability of the Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) for female footballers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-13)Background - The Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) is a screening tool developed to detect endurance athletes and dancers at risk for development of persistent low energy availability (LEA) and the female athlete triad (Triad). This study investigated the applicability of the LEAF-Q in a cohort of sixty professional female football players.<p> <p>Methods - The participants ... -
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 ... -
Biliverdin Reductase B Is a Plasma Biomarker for Intraplaque Hemorrhage and a Predictor of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Symptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-24)Background: Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) is a hallmark of atherosclerotic plaque instability. Biliverdin reductase B (BLVRB) is enriched in plasma and plaques from patients with symptomatic carotid atherosclerosis and functionally associated with IPH. Objective: We explored the biomarker potential of plasma BLVRB through (1) its correlation with IPH in carotid plaques assessed by magnetic resonance ... -
Patient and public involvement in health research from researchers' perspective
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-21)Background: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is increasingly considered an integral part of health research, and the focus has shifted from why we need PPI to how users can be involved in a meaningful way. The rationale for investigating experiences with PPI from the perspective of occupational therapy (OT)‐trained researchers' originates in the interrelationship between the inclusive approach ... -
