Borderline values of troponin-T and high sensitivityC-reactive protein did not predict 2-year mortality inTnTpositive chest-pain patients, whereas brain natriureticpeptide did
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)Background: Troponin-T (TnT), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) have been shown to be independent prognostic indicators of total and cardiac death during short- and long-term ... -
Bounding the average causal effect in Mendelian randomisation studies with multiple proposed instruments: An application to prenatal alcohol exposure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background As large-scale observational data become more available, caution regarding causal assumptions remains critically important. This may be especially true for Mendelian randomisation (MR), an increasingly popular ... -
The brain and brown fat
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-10)Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a specialized organ responsible for thermogenesis, a process required for maintaining body temperature. BAT is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which activates lipolysis and ... -
‘Brain fog’, guilt, and gratitude: experiences of symptoms and life changes in older survivors 6 months after hospitalisation for COVID-19
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose Several of those who have been infected with COVID-19 suffer from the post-COVID-19 condition months after the acute infection. Little is known about how older survivors have experienced the consequences and how ... -

(Doctoral thesis, 2022-12-16)Hjerneplasitisitet undersøkt hos individer med mild kognitiv svikt etter PC-administrert arbeidsminnetrening, evaluert med multimodal MRI teknikk, en randomisert kontroll studie. Formål: Hovedmålet med studien var å ... -
Brain reactivity during aggressive response in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder treated with a selective progesterone receptor modulator
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by late luteal phase affective, cognitive, and physical impairment. The disorder causes significant suffering in about 5% of women in their ... -
Brain scans from 21,297 individuals reveal the genetic architecture of hippocampal subfield volumes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-02)The hippocampus is a heterogeneous structure, comprising histologically distinguishable subfields. These subfields are differentially involved in memory consolidation, spatial navigation and pattern separation, complex ... -
Brainstem NTCP and dose constraints for carbon ion RT—Application and translation from Japanese to European RBE-weighted dose
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background and Purpose: The Italian National Center of Oncological Hadrontherapy (CNAO) has applied dose constraints for carbon ion RT (CIRT) as defined by Japan’s National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS). However, ... -
BRCA1 Norway: comparison of classifcation for BRCA1 germline variants detected in families with suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer between different laboratories
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Pathogenic germline variants in Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) predispose carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Through genetic testing of patients with suspected HBOC an increasing number ... -
Breastfed Infants With Spells, Tremor, or Irritability: Rule Out Vitamin B12 Deficiency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: In Norway, 5-10% of neonates and infants have biomarkers suggesting vitamin B12 deficiency from newborn screening tests and unselected clinical screening, respectively. Aims: The aims were to identify risk ... -
Breathing patterns in people with exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO) is common, but we lack readily available diagnostic tools. The larynx represents an important point of resistance in the airways, and we therefore hypothesized that EILO is ... -
Bridging the evidence gap for implementing antibiotic stewardship in Norway: Interventions, process measures and patient outcomes related to antibiotic prescribing in hospitals
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-12-09)Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge for patient safety worldwide, as a growing number of infections become difficult to treat and the advances made in modern medicine are threatened. Overuse and misuse ... -
A Brief Review on the Regulatory Roles of MicroRNAs in Cystic Diseases and Their Use as Potential Biomarkers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)miRNAs are small endogenous conserved non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression through mRNA degradation or translational inhibition, modulating nearly 60% of human genes. Cystic diseases ... -
Bronchial hyper-responsiveness after preterm birth
