Neuroendocrinology of sexual behavior
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-08)One of the consequences of sexual behavior is reproduction. Thus, this behavior is essential for the survival of the species. However, the individual engaged in sexual behavior is rarely aware of its reproductive consequences. In fact, the human is probably the only species in which sexual acts may be performed with the explicit purpose of reproduction. Most human sexual activities as well as sex ... -
Fødselsrift – hva så? Kvinners vurdering av informasjon om fødselsrift mottatt på barselavdelingen, oppfølgingen de mottar, og betydningen av informasjonen for bekymringer, utfordringer og mestring av fødselsriften de første seks måneder etter fødsel
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2022-03-16)Bakgrunn: Kvinner som rammes av en fødselsrift kan ha et udekt informasjonsbehov.

Hensikt: Hensikten med studien var å kartlegge kvinners vurdering av informasjonen mottatt om sin fødselsrift på barselavdelingen, erfaringen med oppfølgingen fra helsevesenet ... -
Sharing food with infants in Hadza communities in Tanzania
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-28)By analyzing mealtime interactions of Tanzanian Hadza infants with their interactional partners, we explored how two foundational schemas, namely giving/sharing and autonomy are realized and fostered in infants. We focused on three aspects of the mealtime interactions, namely how the infants’ share was protected, whether independent eating was fostered by the infants’ interactional partners, and ... -
Stable or unstable associations between learning environment factors, study approaches and exam grades: cross-sectional analyses across two consecutive program years
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-31)Studies into the relationships between learning environment perceptions, approaches to studying, and academic outcomes have largely followed cross-sectional designs. As a result, knowledge is sparse with regards to whether, or to what degree, the established associations are consistent across years of study. This study aimed to (i) examine associations between occupational therapy students’ academic ... -
The mental health consequences on children of the war in Ukraine: A commentary
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-18)The news from Ukraine is currently full of heart-wrenching stories accompanied by graphic images of civilian casualties and massacres that are telecast world-wide on a daily basis. It is hard to fathom the magnitude of the devastation and disruption to regular lives and everyday routines that war brings with it, the witnessing of countless deaths, the associated trauma of living in perpetual fear, ... -
Plasma levels of platelet-derived microvesicles are associated with risk of future venous thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-18)Background - Microvesicles (MVs) are small double‐membrane encapsulated particles shed from cells. Case‐control studies have reported elevated plasma levels of platelet‐derived MVs (PDMVs) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, it is not known whether high PDMV levels is a risk factor or a consequence of the acute VTE event.<p> <p>Objectives - To investigate the association between ... -
Joint Effect of Multiple Prothrombotic Genotypes and Mean Platelet Volume on the Risk of Incident Venous Thromboembolism
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-31)Background - A high mean platelet volume (MPV), a marker of increased platelet reactivity, is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Whether established prothrombotic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) further increase the VTE risk in subjects with high MPV because of biological interaction remains unknown.<p> <p>Aim - To investigate the joint effect of high MPV and prothrombotic ... -

Dental composites - The effects of matrix composition, suboptimal light curing and water exposure
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-03-30)In Scandinavian countries, resin-based composite materials have been used in restorative dentistry for over 30 years, replacing dental amalgams. Composite materials based on dimethacrylates provide better aesthetics and treatment options. However, according to in-vitro findings, dental composites can be affected by water, potentially reducing the longevity of dental restorations. The proper ... -

Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Role of Daily Presenteeism as an Adaptive Response to Perform at Work Despite Somatic Complaints for Employee Effectiveness
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)Our study seeks to contribute to scholarly understanding of the antecedents and consequences of the crucial, but so far overlooked within-person daily fluctuations in presenteeism. Drawing on theoretical frameworks of presenteeism, which conceptualize presenteeism as an adaptive behavior to deliver work performance despite limitations due to ill-health, we develop a within-person model of daily ... -
Prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: impact of different definitions-the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-10)Background - Management of incidental unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains challenging and depends on their risk of rupture, estimated from the assumed prevalence of aneurysms and the incidence of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Reported prevalence varies, and consistent criteria for definition of UIAs are lacking. We aimed to study the prevalence of UIAs in a general population ... -
Blood cell DNA methylation biomarkers in preclinical malignant pleural mesothelioma: The EPIC prospective cohort
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-28)Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer mainly caused by asbestos exposure. Specific and sensitive noninvasive biomarkers may facilitate and enhance screening programs for the early detection of cancer. We investigated DNA methylation (DNAm) profiles in MPM prediagnostic blood samples in a case-control study nested in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer ... -

Methods for Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB): A Systematic Review and Guidelines
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-14)Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRVB) has been widely used to improve cardiovascular health and well-being. HRVB is based on breathing at an individual’s resonance frequency, which stimulates respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) and the baroreflex. There is, however, no methodological consensus on how to apply HRVB, while details about the protocol used are often not well reported. Thus, the ... -
Membrane Atg8ylation, stress granule formation, and MTOR regulation during lysosomal damage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-11-29)The functions of mammalian Atg8 proteins (mATG8s) expand beyond canonical autophagy and include processes collectively referred to as Atg8ylation. Global modulation of protein synthesis under stress conditions is governed by MTOR and liquid-liquid phase separated condensates containing ribonucleoprotein particles known as stress granules (SGs). We report that lysosomal damage induces SGs acting as ... -
Stress granules and mTOR are regulated by membrane atg8ylation during lysosomal damage
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022)We report that lysosomal damage is a hitherto unknown inducer of stress granule (SG) formation and that the process termed membrane atg8ylation coordinates SG formation with mTOR inactivation during lysosomal stress. SGs were induced by lysosomedamaging agents including SARS-CoV-2ORF3a, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and proteopathic tau. During damage, mammalian ATG8s directly interacted with the ... -
