Immigrants’ use of emergency primary health care in Norway: a registry-based observational study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-07)Background: Emigrants are often a selected sample and in good health, but migration can have deleterious effects on health. Many immigrant groups report poor health and increased use of health services, and it is often ... -
The Immigration Issue and the vox Populi: Letters to the Editor in six Scandinavian Newspapers 1970–2016
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Letters to the editor are argued to be a staple of the public sphere and, by providing regular citizens with a platform to voice their concerns to a large audience, a central democratic function of a liberal press. However, ... -
Immigration to late medieval Bergen - A study of names and positions in an international City
(Master thesis, 2016-05-29)This study is an attempt at answering the following questions: How did the pattern of immigration to Bergen change over the late medieval period? If there were changes, what are the possible reasons for these? Late medieval ... -
Immigration, acculturation, and preferred help-seeking sources for depression: comparison of five ethnic groups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Immigrants are more likely than the majority population to have unmet needs for public mental health services. This study aims to understand potential ethnic differences in preferred help-seeking sources for ... -
Immiscible Viscous Fingering: Modelling Unstable Water–Oil Displacement Experiments in Porous Media
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Viscous fingering in porous media occurs when the (miscible or immiscible) displacing fluid has a lower viscosity than the displaced fluid. For example, immiscible fingering is observed in experiments where water displaces ... -
Immune activation and HIV-specific T cell responses are modulated by a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor in untreated HIV-infected individuals: An exploratory clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-02)Pathologically elevated immune activation and inflammation contribute to HIV disease progression and immunodeficiency, potentially mediated by elevated levels of prostaglandin E2, which suppress HIV-specific T cell responses. ... -
Immune cell profiling in COVID-19 recovered patients using mass cytometry
(Master thesis, 2021-05-20)Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the zoologic virus severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is among the most impactful pandemics in modern history. Infection impact has variating tendency ... -
Immune cells and soluble immune markers in different stages of tuberculosis. Potential biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment efficacy
(Doctoral thesis, 2017-03-30)Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health problem, especially in the developing world. In order to end the TB epidemic, reliable and rapid diagnostic tools that can identify and discriminate between latent and active TB ... -
Immune checkpoint molecule herpes virus entry mediator is overexpressed and associated with poor prognosis in human glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Dysregulation of immune checkpoint molecules leads to immune evasion in human tumours but has become a viable target for tumour therapy. Here, we examined expression of Herpes virus entry mediator (HVEM), an ... -
Immune marker levels in severe mental disorders: associations with polygenic risk scores of related mental phenotypes and psoriasis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Several lines of evidence implicate immune abnormalities in the pathophysiology of severe mental disorders (SMD) and comorbid mental disorders. Here, we use the data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of autoimmune ... -
Immune regulatory mechanisms in endocrine autoimmune disorders
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-09-15)Ulike mekanismer eksisterer for at immunforsvaret skal lære å skille det som er eget fra det som er fremmed, også kjent som immunologisk toleranse. I noen tilfeller brytes denne toleransen, noe som kan føre til at enkelte ... -
Immune response to influenza after vaccination and infection
(Doctoral thesis, 2016-09-23)Influenza causes great human morbidity and mortality from annual epidemics and pandemics occurring at irregular intervals. The socioeconomic impact of influenza is significant with 5% of adults and 20% of children infected, ... -
Immune Responses in Acute and Convalescent Patients with Mild, Moderate and Severe Disease during the 2009 Influenza Pandemic in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-25)Increased understanding of immune responses influencing clinical severity during pandemic influenza infection is important for improved treatment and vaccine development. In this study we recruited 46 adult patients during ... -
Immune-instructive copolymer scaffolds using plant-derived nanoparticles to promote bone regeneration
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Age-driven immune signals cause a state of chronic low-grade inflammation and in consequence affect bone healing and cause challenges for clinicians when repairing critical-sized bone defects in elderly ... -
Immune-related genetic enrichment in frontotemporal dementia: An analysis of genome-wide association studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-09)Background: Converging evidence suggests that immune-mediated dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Although genetic studies have shown that immune-associated loci are ... -
Immunochemistry-Based Diagnosis of Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis: A Strategy for Large-Scale Production of MPT64-Antibodies for Use in the MPT64 Antigen Detection Test
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Tuberculosis (TB) is a global health problem. The immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based MPT64 antigen detection test has shown promising results for diagnosing extrapulmonary TB in previous studies. However, the anti-MPT64 ... -
