Reference intervals of circulating secretoneurin concentrations determined in a large cohort of community dwellers: the HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objectives Secretoneurin (SN) is a novel cardiac biomarker that associates with the risk of mortality and dysfunctional cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling in heart failure patients. Reference intervals for SN are unknown. M ... -
Vertical distribution of epibenthic megafauna of a large seamount west of Cape Verde islands (tropical North Atlantic)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Seamounts are thought to function as hotspots of megafauna diversity due to their topology and environmental characteristics. However, assessments of megafauna communities inhabiting seamounts, including diversity and ... -
Biotic transformation of methylmercury at the onset of the Arctic spring bloom
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Despite the lack of local anthropogenic mercury sources, methylated mercury (MeHg) concentrations in Arctic biota are higher than in biota from lower latitudes. The main entry route occurs during the bioconcentration of ... -
Effects of time spent in pregnancy or brooding on immunocompetence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Sexes of a species may show different characteristics beyond the differences in their sexual organs and such sexual dimorphism often occurs in the level of immune response when exposed to pathogens (immunocompetence). In ... -
Clinicopathological and radiological stratification within FIGO 2018 stages improves risk-prediction in cervical cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective: Assess the added prognostic value of the updated International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 staging system, and to identify clinicopathological and radiological biomarkers for improved ... -
Age of onset for increased dose-adjusted serum concentrations of antidepressants and association with sex and genotype: An observational study of 34,777 individuals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the age of onset for increased dose-adjusted serum concentrations (C/D ratio) of common antidepressant drugs and to explore the potential association with sex and CYP2C19/CYP2D6 ... -
Evaluation of the nurse-assisted eHealth intervention ‘eHealth@Hospital-2-Home’ on self-care by patients with heart failure and colorectal cancer post-hospital discharge : protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-04)Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are prone to comorbidity, a high rate of readmission, and complex healthcare needs. Self-care for people with HF and CRC after hospitalisation can ... -
