    • Prediction of Ventricular Arrhythmias by QRS/QTc - Ratio in Citalopram or Escitalopram Intoxication 

      Dietrichs, Erik Sveberg; Smith, Godfrey L (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-16)
      <b><p>Background:</b> The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated that citalopram and escitalopram should not be used at daily doses above 40 mg/20 mg due to risk for development of fatal ventricular arrhythmias like torsade de pointes (TdP). Yet, supratherapeutic serum concentrations of citalopram are common and predicting patients at risk for TdP is of high clinical value. Accordingly, ...

    • Improvised use of a digital tool for social interaction in a Norwegian care facility during the COVID-19 pandemic: an exploratory study

    • Writing disorder: The harmful and healing effects of writing in Hornbacher’s Wasted and other anorexia memoirs 

      Grange, Huw (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-31)
      A growing body of evidence points to the potential of life writing about anorexia to foster “disordered reading” practices in certain readers (Seaber, 2016), with particular concerns raised about the breakthrough eating disorder memoir, Marya Hornbacher’s Wasted (1998). With this article, I shift the focus from readers to authors, exploring the positive and negative health consequences of writing ...

    • De første radiografene i Norge - yrkesvalget og utdannelsen 

      Egestad, Helen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      <p><i>Innledning:</i> Radiografi er et ungt fag der dokumentasjon av historien og utviklingen i Norge er begrenset. I Norge ble de første radiografene utdannet tidlig på 1970 tallet. Bakgrunnen for å starte utdanningen var mangel på røntgenassistenter, dårlig rekruttering av sykepleiere til ledige stillinger og at andre land i Vest Europa hadde startet å utdanne teknisk personale for å arbeide på ...

    • Non‑linear associations between healthy Nordic foods and all‑cause mortality in the NOWAC study: a prospective study 

      Jensen, Torill Miriam Enget; Braaten, Tonje Bjørndal; Jacobsen, Bjarne Koster; Skeie, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-25)
      Background: The shape of the associations between intake of foods basic in a healthy Nordic diet and long-term health is not well known. Therefore, we have examined all-cause mortality in a large, prospective cohort of women in Norway in relation to intake of: Nordic fruits and vegetables, fatty fsh, lean fsh, wholegrain products, and low-fat dairy products.<p> <p>Methods: A total of 83 669 women ...

    • Prevalens av og risikofaktorer for selvrapportert hjerteinfarkt og atrieflimmer hos samer og ikke-samer i Tromsøundersøkelsen 

      Einarsson, Sturla Bjørn; Stylidis, Michael; Løchen, Maja-Lisa (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-27)
      Hjerteinfarkt og atrieflimmer er ledende årsaker til mortalitet og morbiditet globalt (1). Det norske dødsårsaksregisteret viser imidlertid at risiko for å dø av hjerte- og kar- sykdommer er mer enn halvert fra år 2000 til 2016 (2). Mannsverk et al. viste i 2012 at nedgangen i mortalitet av koronarsykdom i Tromsø skyldes en nedgang i insidens (3). Senere ble det vist at 66 % av nedgangen ...

    • Transition to Primary School of Children in Economic Disadvantage: Does a Preschool Teacher Training Program Make a Difference? 

      Seabra-Santos, Maria; Major, Sofia; Patras, Joshua; Pereira, Marcelino; Pimentel, Mariana; Baptista, Elsa; Cruz, Francisca; Santos, Mariana; Homem, Tatiana; Azevedo, Andreia Fernandes; Gaspar, Maria Filomena (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-30)
      Transition to school may be experienced as a critical event for both children and their families. Within an ecological framework of transition, the scope of the concept of school readiness in recent years has decentered from the child to the environment, including the readiness of (pre)school education to develop core skills in children. This study aims to understand the extent to which preschool ...

    • Bruk av kosttilskudd blant apotekkunder 

      Nguyen, May Nha Tran (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-05-14)
      Bakgrunn Bruk av kosttilskudd er utbredt over hele verden, og apoteket representerer en salgskanal for denne varegruppen. Det finnes lite forskning om disse produktene, særlig i Norge. Kosttilskudd regnes som næringsmidler, og er dermed ikke regulert på lik linje som legemidler. Dette kan føre til uhensiktsmessig bruk, særlig blant apotekkunder. Disse kan være legemiddelbrukere, hvor en potensiell ...

    • Problemer med foreldresamvær i barnevernet- unge voksnes fortellinger 

      Skoglund, Jeanette; Thørnblad, Renee (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-14)
      De fleste som vokser opp i fosterhjem, har kontakt med foreldre, og det iverksettes betydelige ressurser for å gjennomføre foreldresamvær. Dette er i tråd med samværsretten og bygger på kulturelle verdier der relasjonen mellom barn og biologiske foreldre har avgjørende betydning. Forskningslitteraturen kan hevdes å bekrefte viktigheten av foreldresamvær, men viser også at det kan være problematisk. ...

    • Epigenetics in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Contribution of DNA methylation to Ulcerative Colitis pathogenesis 

      Taman, Hagar (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2022-04-08)
      Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, primarily affecting the colon. Along with Crohn’s disease (CD) they constitute the most common subtypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Genetic variants can only explain approximately 20 % of all IBD cases, indicating a more complex pathogenesis which is not fully understood. It has been implied that an ...

      Precarious manhood beliefs portray manhood, relative to womanhood, as a social status that is hard to earn, easy to lose, and proven via public action. Here, we present cross-cultural data on a brief measure of precarious manhood beliefs (the Precarious Manhood Beliefs scale [PMB]) that covaries meaningfully with other cross-culturally validated gender ideologies and with country-level indices of ...

      Eriksen, Astrid; Melhus, Marita; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-07-12)
      The aim of the study was to compare the level of mental distress of Sami and non-Sami residents in rural Sami core areas with that of people who have moved from these areas to cities in Norway. Previous research on mental health among the adult Sami population has mainly been conducted in rural areas, and there is a knowledge gap concerning the mental health of urban Sami. This study has a ...

    • Lovgivning, innhold og organisering av tannhelsebehandling for sosialt svake grupper i befolkningen 

      Strand, Gunhild Vesterhus; Widström, eeva; Christensen, Lisa Bøge; Wretlind, Katharina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Formålet med denne artikkelen er å beskrive behandlingssystemene for tannhelse i fire nordiske land, både på generell basis, men først og fremst blant sosialt vanskeligstilte grupper. Alle disse landene tilbyr gratis tannbehandling for barn og ungdom, men tilbudet varierer når det gjelder voksne. Voksne i Norge må betale fra egen lomme. I Danmark blir de grunnleggende utgiftene dekket, skjønt ...

      Byers-Heinlein, Krista; Tsui, Angeline Sin Mei; Bergmann, Christina; Black, Alexis K.; Brown, Anna; Carbajal, Maria Julia; Durrant, Samantha; Fennell, Christopher T.; Fiévet, Anne-Caroline; Frank, Michael C.; Gampe, Anja; Gervain, Judit; Gonzalez-Gomez, Nayeli; Hamlin, Kiley; Havron, Naomi; Hernik, Mikołaj; Kerr, Shila; Killam, Hilary; Klassen, Kelsey; Kosie, Jessica E.; Kovács, Ágnes Melinda; Lew-Willams, Casey; Liu, Liquan; Mani, Nivedita; Marino, Caterina; Mastroberardino, Meghan; Mateu, Victoria; Noble, Claire; Orena, Adriel John; Polka, Linda; Potter, Christine E.; Schreiner, Melanie S.; Singh, Leher; Soderstrom, Melanie; Sundara, Megha; Waddell, Connor; Werker, Janet F.; Wermelinger, Stephanie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-12)
      From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) compared with adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multisite study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic ...

    • Challenges with the interpretation of Sami ethnicity and the height differences in epidemiologic research comparing Sami and non-Sami population 

      Siri, Susanna Ragnhild; Michalsen, Vilde Lehne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-07)
      Ethnicity clusters individuals with shared characteristics and is a common variable in epidemiology. Often it is not specified what is meant by a given ethnicity or what characteristics ethnicity entails in the different contexts. In public health research, ethnicity can be viewed as a non-modifiable risk factor of disease because modifying the ethnic composition in a population is not meaningful, ...

    • Helsesykepleier på hjemmebesøk hos mødre med innvandrerbakgrunn. En kvalitativ intervjustudie av mødrenes opplevelser 

      Yulieva Jensen, Anna; Clancy, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-24)
      Tiden etter fødsel kan oppleves av mange mødre med innvandrerbakgrunn som en sårbar periode med emosjonelle endringer og usikkerhet i foreldrerollen. Det foreligger lite forskning om hvordan mødre med innvandrerbakgrunn opplever å bli ivaretatt av helsesykepleier på hjemmebesøk etter fødsel. Hensikten med studien er å undersøke mødrenes opplevelser av helsesykepleiers ivaretakelse av deres behov. ...
