<b><p>Background</b> About one in five strokes occur during sleep (wake-up stroke). People with wake-up strokes have previously been considered to be ineligiblefor thrombolytic treatment because the time of stroke onset is unknown. However, recent studies suggest benefit from recanalisationtherapies in selected patients. <b><p>Objectives</b> To assess the effects of intravenous thrombolysis ...

Background: Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring the health in a population. When there is insufcient information to identify the true underlying cause of death, the death will be classifed using less informative codes, garbage codes. If many deaths are assigned a garbage code, the information value of the cause-of-death statistics is reduced. The aim ...

Background Research exploring the use of specific Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) modalities by Norwegian cancer patients is sparse. The aims of this study were therefor to map the different CAM modalities cancer patients use and further investigate their rationale for use, communication about use, self-reported benefits and harms, and their sources of information about the different ...

Background: Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of deaths in Norway, especially among younger males. Traumarelated mortality can be reduced by structural measures, such as organization of a trauma system. Many hospitals in Norway treat few seriously injured patients, one of the reasons for development of the Norwegian trauma system. Since its implementation, there has been continuous improvement ...

<p>Unsafe medical practices and incidents where safety hazards cause harm to patients occur daily in general practice. The costs to society, health care personnel and individual patients are substantial and deserve attention. “Hazards” can be regarded as local error-producing factors, latent failures, which create conditions for unsafe medical practice to take place. “Harm” occurs when these conditions ...

Steroid receptor co-activator-3 (SRC-3) is a co-activator that plays important roles in normal physiology and different diseases including cancer. Its activity is regulated by phosphorylation. Serine 857 (S857) is the most frequently reported phosphorylation site of SRC-3. In this work, we examined several kinases that could phosphorylate SRC-3 at S857 and explored the functional outcome incurred ...

Population-based data on coronavirus disease in Russia and on the immunogenicity of the Sputnik V vaccine are sparse. In a survey of 1,080 residents of Arkhangelsk 40–75 years of age, 65% were seropositive for IgG. Fifteen percent of participants had been vaccinated; of those, 97% were seropositive.

Arbeidsmedisinsk forskning må være relevant og svare på aktuelle utfordringer i samfunnet. Slik kommer faget fremover. Gjennom forankring i praksis kan nye problemstillinger fanges opp, hypoteser genereres og bedre løsninger skapes. Det inngår i et større bilde der økt samhandling mellom akademia og praksis etterspørres av myndighetene og aktørene selv. Det gjelder forøvrig også mange andre ...
