Autoimmunity and viral immunity in Addison’s disease
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-11-27)Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is caused by an immunological destruction of the steroid producing cells of the adrenal cortex. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in disease development, and while ... -
Automatic Estimation of Coronary Blood Flow Velocity Step 1 for Developing a Tool to Diagnose Patients With Micro-Vascular Angina Pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-22)Aim: Our aim was to automatically estimate the blood velocity in coronary arteries using cine X-ray angiographic sequence. Estimating the coronary blood velocity is a key approach in investigating patients with angina ... -
Autotaxin activity predicts transplant-free survival in primary sclerosing cholangitis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-11)Autotaxin has been associated with liver disease severity and transplant-free survival. This study aimed to validate autotaxin as a biomarker in two cohorts of Norwegian large-duct PSC patients, one discovery panel (n=165) ... -
Autozygosity mapping and time-to-spontaneous delivery in Norwegian parent-offspring trios
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Parental genetic relatedness may lead to adverse health and fitness outcomes in the offspring. However, the degree to which it affects human delivery timing is unknown. We use genotype data from ≃25 000 parent-offspring ... -
Auxilin is a novel susceptibility gene for congenital heart block which directly impacts fetal heart function
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective: Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) may develop after transplacental transfer of maternal autoantibodies with cardiac manifestations (congenital heart block, CHB) including atrioventricular block, atrial and ... -
Availability of extended-release naltrexone may increase the number of opioid-dependent individuals in treatment: Extension of a randomized clinical trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background and objective: Opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) is highly available in Norway, but only 50% of opioid-dependent individuals are enrolled in such programs. This study was aimed at examining if availability of ... -
Avoiding organelle mutational meltdown across eukaryotes with or without a germline bottleneck
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and plastid DNA (ptDNA) encode vital bioenergetic apparatus, and mutations in these organelle DNA (oDNA) molecules can be devastating. In the germline of several animals, a genetic “bottleneck” ... -
B cell specificity and pattern in primary Sjögren’s syndrome - Studies in humans and a murine model
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-04-30)Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by focal inflammation of exocrine glands, particularly salivary and lacrimal glands. Here, mononuclear cells, including B cells, infiltrate the glands, ... -
B cells and autoantibodies in AIRE deficiency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare but severe monogenetic autoimmune endocrine disease caused by failure of the Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE). AIRE regulates the negative selection of T cells in the ... -
B vitamin and iron status during infancy
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-30)Adequate nutrition during infancy is essential to ensure normal growth and development. Since 2001, World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of life, which puts great ... -
B vitamin treatments modify the risk of myocardial infarction associated with a MTHFD1 polymorphism in patients with stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06)Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTHFD1) catalyzes three sequential reactions that metabolize derivatives of tetrahydrofolate (THF) in folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism. Impaired MTHFD1 flux has ... -
The B-lymphocyte chemokine CXCL13 in the cerebrospinal fluid of children with Lyme neuroborreliosis: associations with clinical and laboratory variables
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The B-lymphocyte chemokine CXCL13 is increasingly considered as a useful early phase diagnostic marker of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB). However, the large variation in level of CXCL13 in the cerebrospinal fluid ... -
B-vitamin Treatment Modifies the Mortality Risk Associated with Calcium Channel Blockers in Patients with Suspected Stable Angina Pectoris: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including angina pectoris, and hypertension; however, the effect on survival remains uncertain. CCBs impair fibrinolysis ... -
