HLA-DQB1 as a potential prognostic biomarker of hormonal therapy in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The gonadotropin treatment of infertile men may improve spermatogenesis and lead to sperm cell production, however, only a small fraction of treated patients positively responds to such therapy. To identify individual ... -
An ultrasensitive routine LC-MS/MS method for estradiol and estrone in the clinically relevant sub-picomolar range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Current analytical routine methods lack the sensitivity to monitor plasma estrogen levels in breast cancer patients treated with aromatase inhibitors. Such monitoring is warranted for premenopausal patients ... -
Diagnostics of Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction Using Machine Learning: A Narrative Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-05-11)Objective: This paper explores machine learning methods for exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) diagnostics. Traditional diagnostic approaches like CLE scoring face subjectivity, limiting precise objective ... -
Factors that influence recruitment to COVID-19 vaccine trials: a qualitative evidence synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-12-19)Background: The COVID-19 pandemic marked a unique period characterised by an extraordinary global virus spread. The collective effort to halt the transmission of the virus led to various public health initiatives, including ... -
Alterations of lipid homeostasis in morbid obese patients are partly reversed by bariatric surgery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Besides its beneficial effect on weight loss, gastric bypass surgery (GBS) may impact the circulating levels of phospho- and sphingolipids. However, long-term effects have not been explored. To investigate alterations in ... -
The GLI code controls HNF1A levels during foregut differentiation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells towards pancreatic islet endocrine cells is a complex process, involving the stepwise modulation of key developmental pathways, such as the Hedgehog signaling inhibition ... -
Anafylaksi utløst av alfa-gal-allergi
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Denne kasuistikken beskriver en anafylaksi utløst av alfa-gal-allergi. Anamnestiske opplysninger om kombinasjonen av tidligere flåttbitt og nylig inntak av rødt kjøtt var avgjørende for supplerende blodprøvetaking og rett ... -
A speech therapy treatment protocol for exercise induced laryngeal obstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Exercise induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is a common cause of exertional breathing problems in young individuals, relevant to 5%–7% of young people. It is caused by paradoxical inspiratory adduction of ... -
Childbearing in women with congenital heart disease : A nationwide cohort study from Norway 1994-2014
(Doctoral thesis, 2025-03-21)Bakgrunn: Forekomsten av medfødt hjertefeil hos voksne øker på grunn av bedret diagnostikk for å oppdage milde hjertefeil, samt medisinske og kirurgiske fremskritt som har økt overlevelsen for personer med alvorlige ... -
Patient-derived acellular ascites fluid affects drug responses in ovarian cancer cell lines through the activation of key signalling pathways
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2025)Malignant ascites is commonly produced in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and serves as unique microenvironment for tumour cells. Acellular ascites fluid (AAF) is rich in signalling molecules and has been proposed ... -
Associations between non-registered ultrasound examination in pregnancy and adverse perinatal outcomes in immigrant and non-immigrant women: a Norwegian population-based study 1999–2016
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Prenatal ultrasound examinations are important to detect placental dysfunction. Several ultrasound-detected abnormalities can be managed during pregnancy or childbirth, thus improve health outcomes. Maternal ... -
