    • Low D-dimer levels at diagnosis of venous thromboembolism are associated with reduced risk of recurrence: data from the TROLL registry 

      Rinde, Fridtjof Balteskard; Jørgensen, Camilla Tøvik; Pettersen, Heidi Hassel; Hansen, John Bjarne; Ghanima, Waleed; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-31)
      Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent disease with a high risk of recurrence. It has been suggested that the D-dimer level at the time of VTE diagnosis can be used to identify patients at a low risk of recurrence. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the impact of D-dimer levels measured at the time of VTE diagnosis on the risk of recurrence in a large cohort of patients with a ...

    • The patient´s role in undergraduate health students' interprofessional clinical placements 

      Jensen, Catrine Buck (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-06-16)
      Changed demographics and the prevalence of chronic, non-communicable, and infectious diseases create challenges in healthcare - lack of resources forces a transition from one-to-one to team-based approaches. Health professional education must prepare undergraduates for collaborative practice to ensure a collaborative-ready workforce that involves the patient as a partner. Interprofessional education ...

    • D-dimer for diagnosis and risk assessment of first and recurrent venous thromboembolism 

      Rinde, Fridtjof Balteskard (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-06-15)
      Venøs tromboembolisme (VTE) er en samlebetegnelse på dyp venetrombose (DVT) og lungeemboli. D-dimer, en blodprøve for koagulasjon og fibrinolyse, har vært en sentral del av VTE-diagnostikken i flere tiår. Blodprøven D-dimer har flere bruksområder og kan dermed reflektere ulike aspekter ved VTE. I denne avhandlingen har vi undersøkt i) om det er trygt og effektivt å bruke D-dimer uten samtidig bruk ...

      Valestrand, Eivind Alexander; Hokstad, Leif Martin; Schei, Edvin; Ofstad, Eirik Hugaas; Stenfors, Terese; Kvernenes, Monika (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-14)
      <p><i>Introduction:</i> This study explores narratives of physicians negotiating liminality while becoming and being mentors for medical students. Liminality is the unstable phase of a learning trajectory in which one leaves behind one understanding but has yet to reach a new insight or position. <p><i>Methods:</i> In this study, we analysed semi-structural interviews of 22 physician mentors from ...

    • Aktuelle forskningsområder for bioingeniører innen medisinsk biokjemi 

      Almås, Synnøve Hofseth; Nilsen, Ragnhild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      <p><i>Innledning.</i> Bioingeniørfaget er lite synlig i helsevesenet. Å identifisere forskningsområder innen biokjemisk laboratoriemedisin, kan være et ledd i å synliggjøre yrket. Mer forskning innen bioingeniørfaget er viktig for å kunne evaluere nye behandlingsteknikker, utvikle evidensbasert praksis og bedre pasientbehandling. Dette prosjektet er andre del av en studie som undersøker aktuelle ...

      The colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) plays an important role in the regulation of many inflammatory processes, and overexpression of the kinase is implicated in several disease states. Identifying selective, smallmolecule inhibitors of CSF1R may be a crucial step toward treating these disorders. Through modelling, synthesis, and a systematic structure-activity relationship study, we ...

Intake of omega-3 fatty acids in early life has been associated with lower risk of other immune-mediated diseases in children, but there are limited studies on CD. The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate if maternal intake of EPA and DHA during pregnancy, from food and/or supplements, was associated with ...

    • The long-term effect of carbohydrate intake differing in quantity and quality on appetite in people with obesity - results from a randomized controlled trial (CARBFUNC) 

      Gjerde, Eirin Semb (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-17)
      Background: Overweight and obesity are major risk factors for å series of health consequences. A better understanding of appetite regulation can be an important part of providing treatment strategies. When weight is lost, several physiological adaptations, including changes in appetite, take place. Dietary composition seems to affect appetite, and both carbohydrate quantity and quality may play a ...

      Background: Norway is one of the countries with the highest rate of colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous research on diet and CRC has been heavily based on nutrients and foods, but new findings indicate that the way we process food may be of importance. However, the findings are contradictory. Further, new findings indicate that CRC risk factors might affect colorectal subsites differently. As the ...
