    • Liver elastography in healthy children using three different systems - how many measurements are necessary? 

      Mjelle, Anders Batman; Mulabecirovic, Anesa; Havre, Roald Flesland; Olafsdottir, Edda Jonina; Gilja, Odd Helge; Vesterhus, Mette (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-21)
      Purpose Liver elastography is increasingly being applied in screening for and follow-up of pediatric liver disease, and has been shown to correlate well with fibrosis staging through liver biopsy. Because time is of the ...
    • Liver Elastography in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis Patients Using Three Different Scanner Systems 

      Mjelle, Anders Batman; Fossdal, Guri; Gilja, Odd Helge; Vesterhus, Mette (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      The aim of the study described here was to characterize three different liver elastography methods in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients, for the first time exploring 2-D shear wave elastography (2-D-SWE) in PSC ...
    • Monogenic diabetes and pancreatic exocrine dysfunction in mouse and man 

      Vesterhus, Mette (Doctoral thesis, 2009-12-04)
      Exocrine and endocrine pancreatic disease is often observed to occur together. The close colocalization of the endocrine and exocrine tissues within one organ, as well as their common embryological ancestry, have given ...
    • Normal Liver Stiffness Values in Children - A Comparison of Three Different Elastography Methods 

      Mjelle, Anders Batman; Mulabecirovic, Anesa; Havre, Roald Flesland; Rosendahl, Karen; Juliusson, Petur Benedikt; Olafsdottir, Edda Jonina; Gilja, Odd Helge; Vesterhus, Mette (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)
      Objectives: Noninvasive tests for the evaluation of liver fibrosis are particularly helpful in children to avoid general anesthesia and potential complications of invasive tests. We aimed to establish reference values for ...
    • Reduced Pancreatic Volume in Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 1A-Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young 

      Vesterhus, Mette; Haldorsen, Ingfrid S.; Ræder, Helge; Molven, Anders; Njølstad, Pål Rasmus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-09)
      Context: There are interplays between the endocrine and exocrine pancreas. Werecently reported an increased frequency of exocrine dysfunction in HNF1A-maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3) patients, compared with ...
