An endogenous relationship between wages, job opportunity, and skilled labor shortage in Norway
(Master thesis, 2010-11-05)Norway's economy has gone through unprecedented growth in the past decade. The strong growth in GDP, employment, labor productivity, real wage, and labor immigration combines with increasing outflows from the labor force, ... -
Endometrial ablation; less is more? Historical cohort study comparing long-term outcomes from two time periods and two treatment modalities for 854 women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-10)Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding needs surgical treatment if medical therapy fails. After introduction of non-hysteroscopic endometrial ablation as alternative to hysteroscopic endometrial resection, we aimed to compare ... -
Endometrial cancer cells exhibit high expression of p110β and its selective inhibition induces variable responses on PI3K signaling, cell survival and proliferation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12-16)PTEN loss and constitutive activation of the class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway are key drivers of endometrial tumorigenesis. In some cancer types, PTEN-deficient tumors are reliant on class I PI3K p110β ... -
Endometrial carcinoma: a step closer to individualized therapy? Exploring transcriptional alterations in relation to prognostic biomarkers
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-09-30)Background: Endometrial cancer is diagnosed early and has in general a good prognosis. The more important it is to diagnose and treat the poor-prognosis cases. Therapy of endometrial carcinoma patients per today is to a ... -
Endometrial carcinoma; can biomarkers aid in the prediction of aggressive disease? A study with focus on preoperative tumour markers
(Doctoral thesis, 2012-05-04)Background: Although endometrial cancer in general has a good prognosis, 15-20% recurs. Surgery is the main treatment with lymph node sampling increasingly advocated as compulsory for adequate staging. In metastatic disease, ... -
Endoplasmic Reticulum Calcium Pumps and Tumor Cell Differentiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium homeostasis plays an essential role in cellular calcium signaling, intra-ER protein chaperoning and maturation, as well as in the interaction of the ER with other organelles. Calcium is ... -
Endoplasmic reticulum stress as a key mechanism in stunted growth of seawater rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is a salmonid species with a complex life-history. Wild populations are naturally divided into freshwater residents and sea-run migrants. Migrants undergo an energy-demanding ... -
Endorectal ultrasonography, strain elastography and MRI differentiation of rectal adenomas and adenocarcinomas.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02)Aim Strain elastography is a method for recording tissue hardness. Strain in different areas may be compared using strain ratio (SR). The aims of this study were to validate a previously proposed SR cut-off value of 1.25 ... -
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in Norway: Patterns of activity and undesired events
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-03-21)Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the gold standard for the treatment of common bile duct stones (CBDS) and palliative decompression of malignant strictures. However, concerns remain ... -
Endothelial cells in emerging viral infections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-24)There are several reasons to consider the role of endothelial cells in COVID-19 and other emerging viral infections. First, severe cases of COVID-19 show a common breakdown of central vascular functions. Second, SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Endothelial cells influence the osteogenic potential of bone marrow stromal cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-11-17)Background: Improved understanding of the interactions between bone cells and endothelial cells involved in osteogenesis should aid the development of new strategies for bone tissue engineering. The aim of the present study ... -
Endothelial dysfunction in ME/CFS patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-02)Objective: A few earlier studies have found impaired endothelial function in patients with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). The present study investigated large-vessel and small-vessel endothelial ... -
Endothelial microvascular networks affect gene-expression profiles and osteogenic potential of tissue-engineered constructs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-17)Introduction: A major determinant of the potential size of cell/scaffold constructs in tissue engineering is vascularization. The aims of this study were twofold: first to determine the in vitro angiogenic and osteogenic ... -
Endotoxin, dust and exhaled nitrogen oxide among hand pickers of coffee; a cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-12)Background Primary coffee processing takes place in countries where coffee is grown, and may include hand picking of coffee to remove low quality beans. Hand picking is mostly performed by women. No previous studies on ... -
Endozoicomonadaceae symbiont in gills of Acesta clam encodes genes for essential nutrients and polysaccharide degradation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Gammaproteobacteria from the family Endozoicomonadaceae have emerged as widespread associates of dense marine animal communities. Their abundance in coral reefs involves symbiotic relationships and possibly host nutrition. ... -
Endra posisjon på skulderbladet kan gje endra svar på isometrisk test ved epicondyalgi
(Master thesis, 2012-11-01)Purpose: The purpose of this report is to show that altered position of the scapula can provide altered response due to isometric testing of extension of the wrist in persons with lateral epicondyalgia, without changing ... -
Endret beslutningsstøtte i legevaktsentralen: effekter på hastegradsvurdering og ressursbruk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bakgrunn: Beslutningsstøtteverktøy skal hjelpe operatørene i medisinsk nødmeldetjeneste til å prioritere mellom henvendelser om akutt sykdom og skade. Vi ønsket å undersøke om endret bruk av beslutningsstøtte påvirket ... -
Endring av turnus, medbestemmelse og leders påvirkning av turnoverintensjon
(Master thesis, 2022-04-20)Helse Bergen har gjennomført en intervensjon med endring i turnus for 69 enheter i sin organisasjon. Halvparten får endret sin turnus på en annerledes måte enn den andre halvparten. Gruppen som ikke får sin turnus endret ... -
