Quality of warfarin therapy and quality of life are improved by self-management for two years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Studies from several countries show that self-management of vitamin K antagonist (e.g., warfarin) therapy reduce the risk of complications compared with conventional management. Objectives: The aim of this study ... -
Quantification of the concentration gradient of biomarkers between ovarian carcinoma interstitial fluid and blood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12)Background: Tumor interstitial fluid (TIF) rather than plasma should be used in cancer biomarker discovery because of the anticipated higher concentration of locally produced proteins in the tumor microenvironment. ... -
Quantifying tumour vascularity in non-luminal breast cancers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Aims: Microvessel density (MVD), proliferating MVD (pMVD) and vascular proliferation index (VPI) are methods used to quantify tumour vascularity in histopathological sections. In this study, we assessed MVD, pMVD and VPI ... -
Quantitative analogues to visual spike interpretation in EEG
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-05-03)Bakgrunn: Noen skarpe transienter i EEG er interiktale epileptiforme utladninger (IEU) og representerer en biomarkør for epilepsi. Visuell analyse er den gjeldende gullstandarden for å detektere IEUer. En slik analyse ... -
Quantitative analyses of the hepatic proteome of methylmercury-exposed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) suggest oxidative stress-mediated effects on cellular energy metabolism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-05)Background: Methylmecury (MeHg) is a widely distributed environmental pollutant with considerable risk to both human health and wildlife. To gain better insight into the underlying mechanisms of MeHg-mediated toxicity, we ... -
Quantitative DNA methylation analyses reveal stage dependent DNA methylation and association to clinico-pathological factors in breast tumors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-05)Background: Aberrant DNA methylation of regulatory genes has frequently been found in human breast cancers and correlated to clinical outcome. In the present study we investigate stage specific changes in the DNA methylation ... -
Quantitative PCR Measurement of miR-371a-3p and miR-372-p Is Influenced by Hemolysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-22)Cell-free microRNAs have been reported as biomarkers for several diseases. For testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), circulating microRNAs 371a-3p and 372-3p in serum and plasma have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnostic ... -
Quantitative proteome profiling reveals molecular hallmarks of egg quality in Atlantic halibut: impairments of transcription and protein folding impede protein and energy homeostasis during early development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Tandem mass tag spectrometry (TMT labeling-LC-MS/MS) was utilized to examine the global proteomes of Atlantic halibut eggs at the 1-cell-stage post fertilization. Comparisons were made between eggs judged to ... -
Quantitative proteomic analyses of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells reveal differentially expressed proteins in multiple sclerosis patients and healthy controls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-08)Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neuroinflammatory disease, with an unclear etiology. However, T cells play a central role in the pathogenesis by crossing the blood–brain-barrier, leading to inflammation ... -
Quantitative proteomics comparison of arachnoid cyst fluid and cerebrospinal fluid collected perioperatively from arachnoid cyst patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-04-29)Background: There is little knowledge concerning the content and the mechanisms of filling of arachnoid cysts. The aim of this study was to compare the protein content of arachnoid cysts and cerebrospinal fluid by quantitative ... -
Quantitative proteomics reveals protein dysregulation during T cell activation in multiple sclerosis patients compared to healthy controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-05)Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, neurodegenerative disorder with a strong genetic component that acts in a complex interaction with environmental factors for disease development. CD4+ T cells are pivotal ... -
Quantitative pupillometry in comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: A post-hoc analysis of the TTH48 trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Quantitative pupillometry is an objective method to examine pupil reaction and subsequently grade the response on a neurological pupil index (NPi) scale from 0 to 5. The aim of the present sub-study was to ... -
