Stereotactic radiotherapy for patients with bone metastases: a selected group with low rate of radiation treatment during the last month of life?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-11-01)Background - Complex high-precision radiotherapy, such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), should only be offered to patients with sufficiently long survival. In the context of bone metastases radiotherapy, low rates of treatment close to the end of life, e.g. last 30 days (RT30), may serve as a quality of care indicator. While traditional, pain-relieving short-course regimens have been studied ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-14)Background Prematurity and enlarged subarachnoid spaces are both hypothesised to represent an increased risk of subdural haemorrhages (SDHs) in infancy, both with and without a history of abuse.<p> <p>Objective To examine the prevalence of a previous haemorrhage, particularly SDHs, in infants born extremely prematurely around term-equivalent age; to examine intra- and inter-observer agreement ... -
Associations between use of antibiotic and non-antibiotic drugs on the gastrointestinal carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a general adult population in Norway
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-11-14)Antimicrobial resistance has long been a problem and a struggle to compromise as life-threatening infections are harder to treat. Among common pathogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae (K.pneumoniae) can be a highly resistant bacteria associated with increased mortality when infecting critically ill and immunocompromised patients. Prevalence of gastrointestinal carriage depends on several risk factors. ... -

Sykepleiers erfaring med kommunal akutt døgnenhet i rurale områder
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-10-01)Bakgrunn: Samhandlingsreformen har ført til at flere pasienter mottar behandling i kommunal akutt døgnenhet (KAD) som et alternativ til sykehusinnleggelse. Innføring av KAD i sykehjem i distriktskommuner har gitt sykepleiere i primærhelsetjenesten nye oppgaver og ansvarsområder. Studien er gjennomført i Troms og Finnmark fylke. I distriktskommunene er det store geografiske avstander innad og til ... -

Impact of the diagnostic label for a low-risk prostate lesion: protocol for two online factorial randomised experiments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-08-09)Introduction - Many types of prostate cancer present minimal risk to a man’s lifespan or well-being, but existing terminology makes it difficult for men to distinguish these from high-risk prostate cancers. This study aims to explore whether using an alternative label for low-risk prostate cancer influences management choice and anxiety levels among Australian men and their partners.<p> <p>Methods ... -
