Expression of NGAL-specific cells and mRNA levels correlate with inflammation in the salivary gland, and its overexpression in the saliva, of patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Salivary gland involvement is a characteristic feature of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS), where tissue destruction is mediated by infiltrating immune cells, and may be accompanied by the presence of adipose tissue. ... -
Expression of β-Catenin, E-Cadherin, and α-Smooth Muscle Actin in Basal Cell Carcinoma Before Photodynamic Therapy in Non-recurrent and Recurrent Tumors: Exploring the Ability of Predicting Photodynamic Therapy outcome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective and cosmetically beneficial treatment of low-risk basal cell carcinomas (BCCs). To optimize PDT response, it is important to correctly select tumors. We sought to find markers ... -
Expressions of governance, risk, and responsibility: Public campaigns in the crisis and risk management of Covid-19 in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden
(Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2023)During the Covid-19 pandemic, public campaigns were an important part of the Scandinavian health authorities’ strategies to combat the spread of the virus. Denmark, Norway, and Sweden had different strategies to manage the ... -
The Expressivity of Quantified Group Announcements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Group announcement logic (GAL) and coalition announcement logic (CAL) allow us to reason about whether it is possible for groups and coalitions of agents to achieve their desired epistemic goals through truthful public ... -
Extended Peer Communities: Appraising the contributions of tacit knowledges in climate change decision-making
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This paper explores the implications of assessing tacit knowledges of climatic change in extended peer communities, as applied in two European research projects on climate action. Post-normal science (PNS) proposes the ... -
Extended valence theory perspective on consumers’ e-waste recycling intentions in Japan
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The gravity of the electronic waste (e-waste) crisis can be attributed to consumers' low participation in ensuring the proper disposal of such materials. Motivating consumers to recycle e-waste requires a deeper understanding ... -
Extending balance assessment for the generalized propensity score under multiple imputation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This manuscript extends the definition of the Absolute Standardized Mean Difference (ASMD) for binary exposure (M = 2) to cases for M > 2 on multiple imputed data sets. The Maximal Maximized Standardized Difference (MMSD) ... -
Extending contact screening within a 50-m radius of an index tuberculosis patient using Xpert MTB/RIF in urban Pakistan: Did it impact treatment outcomes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Pakistan implemented initiatives to detect tuberculosis (TB) patients through extended contact screening (ECS); it improved case detection but treatment outcomes need assessment. Objectives To compare ... -
Extending protein interaction networks using proteoforms and small molecules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Motivation: Biological network analysis for high-throughput biomedical data interpretation relies heavily on topological characteristics. Networks are commonly composed of nodes representing genes or proteins that are ... -
Extending Whitney's extension theorem: nonlinear function spaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We consider a global, nonlinear version of the Whitney extension problem for manifold-valued smooth functions on closed domains , with non-smooth boundary, in possibly non-compact manifolds. Assuming is a submanifold with ... -
Extension of the hard-sphere model for particle-flow simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Discrete element methods require appropriate models for particle-particle collisions. Usually, researchers use soft-sphere types of models where the collision dynamics is solved numerically. This makes the simulation ... -
Extensions in graph normal form
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Graph normal form, introduced earlier for propositional logic, is shown to be a normal form also for first-order logic. It allows to view syntax of theories as digraphs, while their semantics as kernels of these digraphs. ... -
Extensive bidirectional genetic overlap between bipolar disorder and cardiovascular disease phenotypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Patients with bipolar disorder (BIP) have a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), despite considerable individual variation. The mechanisms underlying comorbid CVD in BIP remain largely unknown. We investigated polygenic ... -
Extent and Volume of Lava Flows Erupted at 9°50′N, East Pacific Rise in 2005–2006 From Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Surveys
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Seafloor volcanic eruptions are difficult to directly observe due to lengthy eruption cycles and the remote location of mid-ocean ridges. Volcanic eruptions in 2005–2006 at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise have been well ... -
External Developmental Assets and Positive Identity Among Emerging Adults in Norway, Romania, Slovenia, and Turkey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The present study adopts The Developmental Assets and Positive Youth Development (PYD) perspectives which (in contrast to the deficit-based approaches which highlight risks and deficit in youth development) claim that young ... -
External Hydrocephalus as a Cause of Infant Subdural Hematoma: Epidemiological and Radiological Investigations of Infants Suspected of Being Abused
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) and chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) in infants have been regarded as highly specific for abuse. Other causes of CSDH have not been investigated in a large population. Purpose The ... -
An external quality assessment feasibility study; cross laboratory comparison of haemagglutination inhibition assay and microneutralization assay performance for seasonal influenza serology testing: A FLUCOP study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are designed to provide a snapshot of laboratory proficiency, identifying issues and providing feedback to improve laboratory performance and inter-laboratory agreement ... -
External validation of SAPS II score reported to the Norwegian Intensive Care and Pandemic Registry (NIPaR)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II) is a mortality prediction model widely used to compensate for differences between intensive care units (ICU) in benchmarking and research. Accuracy of SAPS II is ... -
External validation of the RISC, RISC-Malawi, and PERCH clinical prediction rules to identify risk of death in children hospitalized with pneumonia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Existing scores to identify children at risk of hospitalized pneumonia-related mortality lack broad external validation. Our objective was to externally validate three such risk scores. Methods: We applied the ... -
Extra-pair paternity explains cooperation in a bird species
