Anti-Obesity and Anti-Hypertensive Action of Calanus Oil
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-03-04)In this doctoral project we have examined the biological effects of Calanus oil in a mouse model of obesity. Calanus oil is extracted from the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus and is one of the richest sources of poly-unsaturated fatty acids in nature. C57BL/6J mice were given a high-fat diet (HFD) over a 27 wk period in order to induce obesity, which was reflected in deposition of considerable ... -

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma - Role of the Plasminogen Activation System in Tumour Progression.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2015-01-30)Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive and unpredictable cancer with a high tendency to recur and metastasise. Despite increasing efforts to improved treatment, the 5-year survival rate is still low. We discovered that low expression levels of the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) and the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) two proteins normally involved in the ... -

Aspects of breast cervical cancer screening
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1992)The purpose of the thesis was to investigate aspects of breast cancer screening such as the feasibility, non-attendance and adverse effects of a general mammography screening program. A second objective was to examine whether risk factors for cervical neoplasia could be identified for potential utilization in a selective screening program for cervical cancer. -

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide and its relation to exercise, asthma and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in a subarctic childhood population. A study of asthma and allergy among schoolchildren in Nordland County.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-11-07)Astma og allergisk øye- og nesekatarr (rhinokonjunktivitt, AR) er de vanligste kroniske sykdommene blant barn i den vestlige verden. I de siste tiårene har prevalensen (forekomsten) av sykdommene økt betydelig, men i enkelte Europeiske land rapporteres det om en utflating i prevalensen av astma. I klinisk praksis brukes laboratorietester til å understøtte diagnosene astma og AR. Analyser av biologiske ... -

Cardiovascular risk factors, atherosclerosis and venous thromboembolism - The Tromsø study
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-12-22)Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common and potentially fatal disease, often occuring in the absence of obvious predisposing factors. Recent observational studies in selected populations have suggested a closer association between arterial thrombosis (myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke) and VTE, two disease entities considered separate in terms of pathophysiology, epidemiology and treatments. ... -
Mitogen-activated protein kinase-activated protein kinase 5 - Structure, function and inhibition
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-09-26)Protein kinases have become central in the efforts to understand the nature of various diseases, and a lot is invested into creating effective therapeutic strategies and finding effective and selective protein kinase inhibitors. In order to succeed it is also important to focus on the structure of the kinases, their exact biological role, and how they interact and cooperate in the signaling. The ... -

Three public projects make up the basis of my data collection in which the main categories of data are interviews, ... -
Safe Blood Transfusion: Screening for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Virus Infections in Potential Blood Donors in Rural Southeast Asia
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-11-06)2,400 blood samples from potential voluntary rural blood donors in a multicentre cross-sectional study in Cambodia and Vietnam were analysed with rapid and EIA tests for detection of HBsAg, anti-HBc and anti-HCV at local laboratories. 640 randomly selected blood samples were blindly validated in a Norwegian accredited micro-laboratory by a chemiluminescent micro particle immunoassay technique (CMIA). ... -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT): statistical analysis and revision of molecular genetic diagnostics in a patient population and identification of the disease locus in a large Norwegian family with CMT.
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-09-19)CMT is a common inherited disease of the peripheral nerves that may be caused by mutations in multiple genes, most are rare. Our aim was to describe the spectrum of mutations and genes in Norwegian CMT patients, identify factors associated with diagnostic findings, revise the testprotocol, and evaluate the assessments of genetic variants of uncertain clinical significance. Furthermore, we searched ... -
Managing childhood obesity, The Finnmark Activity School
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-12-11)Childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and represents a major threat to children’s health. Data on effectiveness of treatment programs for childhood obesity beyond one year is limited and there is little high-quality evidence to recommend one treatment over another. The objective of the clinical trial The Finnmark Activity School was to compare a new multidisciplinary approach ... -
Cancer-related venous thromboembolism: epidemiology and risk factors
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2014-11-28)The association between cancer and venous thromboembolism (VTE) was described already in the 19th century and cancer has later been acknowledged as one of the most important risk factors for VTE. Population-based studies on the subject with information about confounders and validated endpoints are lacking. The first aim of this thesis was to estimate the frequency of VTE among cancer patients in a ...
