Stroke severity quantification by critical care physicians in a mobile stroke unit
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background Cerebral revascularization in acute stroke requires robust diagnostic tools close to symptom onset. The quantitative National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is widely used in-hospital, whereas shorter ... -
Stroke unit demand in Norway – present and future estimates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-15)Background: All stroke patients should receive timely admission to a stroke unit (SU). Consequently, most patients with suspected strokes – including stroke mimics (SM) are admitted. The aim of this study was to estimate ... -
Stroke volume variation to guide fluid therapy: is it suitable for high-risk surgical patients? A terminated randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-07-22)Background: Perioperative goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) may improve outcome after high-risk surgery. Minimal invasive measurement of stroke volume variation (SVV) has been recommended to guide fluid therapy. We intended ... -
Stromal integrin α11 regulates PDGFR-β signaling and promotes breast cancer progression
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key actors in modulating the progression of many solid tumors, such as breast cancer (BC). Herein, we identify an integrin α11/PDGFRβ–positive CAF subset displaying tumor-promoting ... -
Stromal integrin α11-deficiency reduces interstitial fluid pressure and perturbs collagen structure in triple-negative breast xenograft tumors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-15)Background: Cancer progression is influenced by a pro-tumorigenic microenvironment. The aberrant tumor stroma with increased collagen deposition, contractile fibroblasts and dysfunctional vessels has a major impact on the ... -
Stromal integrin α11β1 affects RM11 prostate and 4T1 breast xenograft tumors differently
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03-18)Purpose It has been implied that the collagen binding integrin α11β1 plays a role in carcinogenesis. As still relatively little is known about how the stromal integrin α11β1 affects different aspects of tumor development, ... -
Strong effects of home-based voluntary HIV counselling and testing on acceptance and equity: A cluster randomised trial in Zambia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-06)Home-based voluntary HIV counselling and testing (HB-VCT) has been reported to have a high uptake, but it has not been rigorously evaluated. We designed a model for HB-VCT appropriate for wider scale-up, and investigated ... -
Strong microsite control of seedling recruitment in tundra
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-19)The inclusion of environmental variation in studies of recruitment is a prerequisite for realistic predictions of the responses of vegetation to a changing environment. We investigated how seedling recruitment is affected ... -

Strongly stable C-stationary points for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In this paper we consider the class of mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (MPCC). Under an appropriate constraint qualification of Mangasarian–Fromovitz type we present a topological and an equivalent ... -
Structural analysis of a relay ramp affecting Eocene carbonate rocks in the Suez Rift, Egypt
(Master thesis, 2013-06-03)Detailed fault zone and relay ramp characterization have only to some extent previously been done in carbonate rocks. This study aims to use field data to contribute a better understanding of the deformation related to ... -
Structural analysis of the Jebel Fadeloun anticline, Tunisia: Impact of fractures and faults on the petrophysical properties of carbonate rocks
(Master thesis, 2015-06-01)Recognizing the structure, evolution and fluid flow within the earth's crust is a critical issue for both academic and applied geoscience. This study presents structural analysis of an anticline, which aim is to elucidate ... -
Structural analysis of the northeastern Mohns Ridge
(Master thesis, 2009-06-24)A structural analysis of the northeastern Mohns Ridge situated in the Norwegian-Greenland Sea has been conducted using bathymetric data acquired during surveys in 2000 and 2001. Fault pattern and volcanic features are ... -
Structural and biochemical characterization of Malaria parasites
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-09-17)The Apicomplexa phylum includes more than 6000 species, and some of them are pathogens of humans and animals of socio-economic importance. The most representative parasites are Plasmodium spp. and Toxoplasma gondii. ... -
Structural and biophysical characterization of transcription factor HNF-1A as a tool to study MODY3 diabetes variants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF-1A) is a transcription factor expressed in several embryonic and adult tissues, modulating the expression of numerous target genes. Pathogenic variants in the HNF1A gene are known to cause ... -

Structural and lithological controls on the architecture of igneous intrusions: examples from the NW Australian Shelf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rift-related magmatism resulting in widespread igneous intrusions has been documented in various basins, including the Faroe Shetland Basin (UK), the Voring and Møre basins (Norway), and along the NW Shelf of Australia. ... -
Structural and Pertrological Survey of Peridotite at Almklovdalen, Norway
(Master thesis, 2016-10-10)The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) HP-UHP metamorphic terrain is a part of the Baltic continental crust generated during the Gothian orogeny and re-mobilized during the Sveconorwegian and the Caledonian orogenies. During its ... -
