The Pathology Atlas is an open-access database that reports the prognostic value of protein-coding transcripts in 17 cancers, including head and neck cancer. However, cancers of the various head and neck anatomical sites are specific biological entities. Thus, the aim of the present study was to validate promising prognostic markers for head and neck cancer reported in the Pathology Atlas in oral ...

Sammendrag Introduksjon: I begynnelsen av 2020 ble samfunnet i Norge rammet av COVID-19. Dette medførte begrensninger for idretten i landet, som samfunnet generelt. Dette har medført begrenset mulighet for organisert fotball. Norges fotballforbund har rapportert om frafall på 8% i barne- og ungdomsfotballen og det fryktes større frafall i seniorfotballen. Videre tar den teoretiske rammen i denne ...

<i>Background</i> - Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) in testicular cancer (TC) is associated with elevated venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk, but trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of thromboprophylaxis are lacking.<br><br> <i>Objective</i> - To evaluate the arterial thromboembolism (ATE) and VTE incidence and risk factors during first-line CBCT for metastatic TC, and the effect of ...

<i>Background</i> - Subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are prone to accelerated decay of muscle strength and mass with advancing age. This is believed to be driven by disease-inherent systemic pathophysiologies, which are also assumed to drive muscle cells into a state of anabolic resistance, leading to impaired abilities to adapt to resistance exercise training. Currently, ...

The last decade has witnessed the development of sophisticated biobehavioral and genetic, ambulatory, and other measures that promise unprecedented insight into psychiatric disorders. As yet, clinical sciences have struggled with implementing these objective measures and they have yet to move beyond “proof of concept.” In part, this struggle reflects a traditional, and conceptually flawed, application ...

<i>Introduction</i> - Compared with many other countries Russia has a high prevalence of diabetes in men and women. However, contrary to what is found in most other populations, the risk is greater among women than men. The reasons for this are unclear.<br><br> <i>Research design and methods</i> - Prevalence and risk factors for diabetes at ages 40–69 years were compared in two population-based ...

Antibiotic resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is a leading public health threat and gastrointestinal carriage is an established risk factor for subsequent infections during hospitalization. Our study contributes new knowledge of risk factors for gastrointestinal carriage and the genomic population structure of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> colonizing humans in a representative sample of a general population ...

Vi undersøkte hva forskning fra 2010-2019 sier om tiltak, metoder og strategier som skal legge til rette for god omsorg for barn og unge i barnevernsinstitusjoner.

<i>Background</i> - Despite gluteus medius (GMED) tendinosis being relatively common, its presence in association with hip osteoarthritis (OA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) is not well studied. It was hypothesized that more tendon degeneration would be found in patients with OA of the hip and in those that had undergone THA than that in a control group.<br><br> <i>Methods</i> - One hundred ...

<p>Bakgrunn: Lungekreft er den kreftsykdommen som tar flest liv, likevel kan pasienter med tidlig stadium ikke-småcellet lungekreft (NSCLC) ofte tilbys kurativ behandling og overlevelsen er betydelig bedret fra tidligere. Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke om pasienter har fått behandling i tråd med retningslinjene i Handlingsprogrammet for lungekreft, med særlig vekt på andel kurativ ...
