    • The lower airways microbiota and antimicrobial peptides indicate dysbiosis in sarcoidosis 

      Knudsen, Kristel Svalland; Lehmann, Sverre; Nielsen, Rune; Tangedal, Solveig; Paytuví-Gallart, Andreu; Sanseverino, Walter; Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad; Hiemstra, Pieter S.; Eagan, Tomas Mikal Lind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-19)
      Background: The role of the pulmonary microbiome in sarcoidosis is unknown. The objectives of this study were the following: (1) examine whether the pulmonary fungal and bacterial microbiota differed in patients with ...
    • Motivation and response rates in bronchoscopy studies 

      Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad; Eagan, Tomas Mikal; Leiten, Elise Orvedal; Nordeide, Eli; Bakke, Per S.; Lehmann, Sverre; Nielsen, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05-02)
      Background Bronchoscopy is frequently used to sample the lower airways in lung microbiome studies. Despite being a safe procedure, it is associated with discomfort that may result in reservations regarding participation ...
    • The mycobiome in COPD: Descriptive and longitudinal analysis, and participation in research bronchoscopy studies 

      Martinsen, Einar Marius Hjellestad (Doctoral thesis, 2021-06-25)
      Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a high-prevalent lung disease with high mortality rates. The COPD pathogenesis is only partly understood, and we do not know why some risk factor exposed subjects ...
