Det begrensede siktemålet med denne avhandlingen, er å gi en oversikt over sentrale vilkår for psykiatrisk begrepsdannelse og praksis. En slik oversikt vil dog forhåpentligvis gjøre det enklere å bedømme hvilke spørsmål det er viktig å stille, i en klargjøring av psykiatriens potensiale som forvalter av intensjonen om lydhørhet overfor den Andres smerte.

Background: Many parents choose support such as Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for themselves and their children who have cancer. The aim of this paper is to describe, how parents who have children with cancer communicated with conventional health care providers about CAM, and what types and sources of information they would like to receive about CAM when the child was ill.<p> <p>Method: ...

Introduction: Information on self-reported health (SRH) with a simple question on “How do you rate your health?” provides sufficient information to be a reasonable proxy of health. Socioeconomic inequalities in health are often monitored via SRH. Individuals with better socioeconomic status (SES) more likely to rate their SRH as good. The part of the effect of SES (income level and education) operates ...

Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Regardless of the continuous progress in medicine, we still do not have a fully effective anti-cancer therapy. Therefore, the search for new targeted anti-cancer drugs is still an unmet need. Here, we present novel protein–drug conjugates that inhibit tumor growth in a mouse model of human breast cancer. We developed conjugates based on fibroblast ...

The aim of the present study was to examine the association between being a Seventh-Day Adventist and risk factors for disease, pregnancy outcome, cancer incidence, site-specific mortality and total mortality in an unselected Seventh-Day Adventist population.

Purpose - Breast cancers detected at screening need less aggressive treatment compared to breast cancers detected due to symptoms. The evidence on the quality of life associated with screen-detected versus symptomatic breast cancer is sparse. This study aimed to compare quality of life among Norwegian women with symptomatic, screen-detected and interval breast cancer, and women without breast cancer ...

The biodynamics and biokinetics of sex hormones are complex. In addition to the classical steroid receptors (nuclear receptors), these hormones act through several non-genomic mechanisms. Modulation of ABC-transporters by progesterone represents a non-genomic mechanism. In the present study, we employed inside out vesicles from human erythrocytes to characterize high affinity cGMP transport by ABCC5 ...

Purpose Identifying factors causing Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) is an ongoing challenge. Preterm infants, routinely treated with antibiotics in cases of suspected sepsis, are more commonly afected by dental developmental defects. This study aimed to investigate the efects of gentamycin and ampicillin on the developing enamel in neonatal CD-1 mice in vivo.<p> <p>Methods Neonatal mice ...

Purpose - Upper-body exercise performed in a cold environment may increase cardiovascular strain, which could be detrimental to patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study compared cardiovascular responses of CAD patients during graded upper-body dynamic and static exercise in cold and neutral environments.<p> <p>Methods - 20 patients with stable CAD performed 30 min of progressive ...
