A novel, single-amplification PCR targeting mitochondrial genome highly sensitive and specific in diagnosing malaria among returned travellers in Bergen, Norway
Haanshuus, Christel Gill; Mohn, Stein Christian; Mørch, Kristine; Langeland, Nina; Blomberg, Bjørn; Hanevik, Kurt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-22)Background: Nested PCR is a commonly used technique in diagnosis of malaria owing to its high sensitivity and specificity. However, it is time-consuming, open to considerable risk of contamination and has low cost-efficiency. ... -
PNPLA 3 I148M genetic variant associates with insulin resistance and baseline viral load in HCV genotype 2 but not in genotype 3 infection
Rembeck, Karolina; Maglio, Cristina; Lagging, Martin; Christensen, Peer Brehm; Färkkilä, Martti; Langeland, Nina; Mørch, Kristine; Buhl, Mads R.; Pedersen, Court; Norkrans, Gunnar; Hellstrand, Kristoffer; Lindh, Magnus; Pirazzi, Carlo; Burza, Maria A.; Romeo, Stefano; Westin, Johan; for the NORDynamIC group (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-14)Background: Hepatic steatosis in HCV patients has been postulated as a risk factor associated with a higher frequency of fibrosis and cirrhosis. A single genetic variant, PNPLA3 I148M, has been widely associated with ... -
Postinfectious and sporadic functional gastrointestinal disorders have different prevalences and rates of overlap: results from a controlled cohort study 3 years after acute giardiasis
Wensaas, Knut-Arne; Hanevik, Kurt; Hausken, Trygve; Eide, Geir Egil; Langeland, Nina; Mørch, Kristine; Rørtveit, Guri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common complication following gastroenteritis, and a high prevalence of postgiardiasis IBS has previously been reported. This study aims to investigate the prevalence, adjusted ... -
Presence of interferon-λ 4, male gender, absent/mild steatosis and low viral load augment antibody levels to hepatitis C virus
Waldenström, Jesper; Hellstrand, Kristoffer; Westin, Johan; Nilsson, Staffan; Christensen, Peer; Färkkilä, Martti; Mørch, Kristine; Langeland, Nina; Norkrans, Gunnar; Lagging, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives Despite recombinant interferon-λ 4 (IFN-λ4) demonstrating anti-viral activity in vitro and the ancestral functional gene (IFNL4) being conserved in all other primates, there has been speculation that IFN-λ4 may ... -
The relation of 25-hydroxy vitamin D concentrations to liver histopathology, seasonality and baseline characteristics in chronic hepatitis C virus genotype 2 or 3 infection
Waldenström, Jesper; Nyström, Kristina; Nilsson, Staffan; Norkrans, Gunnar; Ydreborg, Magdalena; Langeland, Nina; Mørch, Kristine; Westin, Johan; Lagging, Martin (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background and objectives The hydroxylation to 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) occurs in the liver and the impact of liver disease on vitamin D is unclear. This study evaluated the relationship between vitamin D concentrations ... -

The aim of this report was to identify ... -
