Som ledd i en bedre blodtrykksbehandling, har vi utarbeidet vedlagte skjema for blodtrykksovervåkning. Hensikten med skjemaet er at en skal få en bedre oversikt over anamnese, utredninger og kontroller. Et vesentlig punkt i blodtrykksovervåkningen er også en standardisering av målemetodene. Vi har derfor gitt anbefalinger om standardisering og omtalt en del feilkilder i forbindelse med målingene.

Incidence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk varies by age and sex. Some studies have reported overall higher risk in men, especially when VTEs triggered by female reproductive factors are excluded. However, higher mortality rates in men may have led to overestimation of lifetime VTE risk in men compared with women. Therefore, we estimated the lifetime risk of VTE in men and women in a Danish, ...

MRNF has been reported to occur in association with some ocular parameters as well as stroke. However, most cases of MRNF occur in isolation and ...

Physical activity (PA) is an important factor in cancer prevention, but positive association between PA and risk of cutaneous melanoma found in recent studies may complicate this strategy. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure during outdoor PA is a plausible explanation for a positive association. We investigated the associations between PA, UVR and melanoma risk in the Norwegian Women and Cancer ...
