The aim is to assess oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and factors associated with OHRQoL among the students of the medical university. Methods. The cross-sectional study included 308 Russian speaking third year students aged 19-25 years from the Faculty of General Medicine, Paediatrics, Preventive Medicine and Dentistry of the Northern State Medical University (NSMU), Arkhangelsk, Russian ...

Av doktorgradsstudenter på norske universiteter, er det en fjerdedel som ikke fullfører innen normert tid. Det er lite forskning på hvorfor det er slik i Norge. Å øke gjennomstrømningen vil være nyttig for stipendiaten og har samfunnsøkonomisk gevinst. Denne studien har sett på faktorer som kan virke inn på engasjement og utbrenthet hos norske doktorgradsstudenter. Økt engasjement og mindre utbrenthet ...

Bakgrunn: Det har med tiden blitt et økt fokus på hurtighet som arbeidskrav for langrennsut-øvere. Hurtighetstrening kan gjøres på forskjellige måter, idrettsspesifikk hurtighetstrening er å foretrekke. Ut fra mine søk er det få studier som har sett på effekten av slik trening innenfor langrenn tidligere. Hensikt: Formålet med denne oppgaven var å få ytterligere kunnskap om hvordan hurtighet kan ...

Studiet undersøker forholdet mellom topphastighet i kamp og kroppssammensetningen hos eliteseriespillere i fotball. (N=22), Alder 24,4 ± 4,57, Høyde 181,8 ± 6,2, vekt 76,7 ± 7,4, FFM 64,625 ± 70, KF % 12 ± 2,19, Toppfart 31,3 ± 1,4 km/t (N=20). Hensikten med studiet var å undersøke om fettfri masse og fettprosent har en sammenheng med toppfart (høyest oppnådd fart i sesong) hos et eliteserielag i ...

The mind’s tendency to wander is an integral part of the human experience. Recent studies suggest that high-level cognitive functions such as mind wan- dering (MW) can be modulated by non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). However, the effectiveness of tDCS in the cognitive domain remains an issue of debate. This thesis aimed to ...

This audit describes ionizing and non-ionizing diagnostic imaging at a regional trauma centre. All 144 patients (males 79.2%, median age 31 years) met with trauma team activation from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 were included. We used data from electronic health records to identify all diagnostic imaging and report radiation exposure as dose area product (DAP) for conventional radiography ...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potent tool for modulating endogenous oscillations in humans. The current standard method for rTMS defines the stimulation intensity based on the evoked liminal response in the visual or motor system (e.g., resting motor threshold). The key limitation of the current approach is that the magnitude of the resulting electric field remains elusive. ...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous, complex, and deadly disease, whose treatment has hardly evolved for decades and grounds on the use of intensive chemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy helps reduce AML bulk, but promotes relapse in the long-run by selection of chemoresistant leukemia stem cells (LSC). These may diversify and result in progression to more aggressive forms of AML. <i>In ...

<i>Background</i> - Staff-directed aggression is a concern for service providers in mental healthcare, frequently affecting both the quality of services and staff wellbeing. This also applies to supported housing services for people with mental health problems. Staff themselves consider training to be an important route to improve the prevention and management of staff-directed aggression. The aims ...

The size of the human pupil is controlled by pairs of constrictor and dilator muscles that allow its opening (dilation) and closing (constriction) in response to varying lighting conditions (Mathôt, 2018). Importantly, it has long been known that the pupil also reacts to psychological important stimuli (Hess & Polt, 1960) and has been a firmly established tool for studying “mental effort” in the ...
