(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-01)Objectives To determine whether an association exists between delirium and length of time indwelling urine catheters (IUC) are used in octogenarian patients treated with surgical aortic valve treatment (SAVR) or transcatheter ... -
Infected Hip and Knee Arthroplasties in Rheumatoid Arthritis. A register-based study with focus on risk factors
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-09-05)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease which primarily affects and damages synovial joints. Patients with RA will therefore often undergo joint replacement surgery. Infections after such ... -
Inflammation and cognition in severe mental illness: patterns of covariation and subgroups
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A potential relationship between dysregulation of immune/inflammatory pathways and cognitive impairment has been suggested in severe mental illnesses (SMI), such as schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar (BD) spectrum disorders. ... -
Inflammation, sex, blood pressure changes and hypertension in midlife: the Hordaland Health Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Our aim was to test sex-specific associations of circulating markers of inflammation with blood pressure (BP) and incident hypertension in midlife. Participants in the Hordaland Health study (n = 3280, 56% women, mean age ... -
Inflammatory biomarkers with focus on Calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and S100A12 (EN-RAGE) : method development and application in acute radiation proctitis and rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-02-02)Assessments of diseases are usually performed by a combination of clinical symptoms, signs and objective measurements. Biochemical markers of inflammation are important in evaluation of treatment of acute and chronic ... -
Inflammatory markers, the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, and Vitamin B status after bariatric surgery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-05)Objective: Obesity is associated with increased inflammation and insulin resistance. In conditions with chronic immune activation, low plasma vitamin B6-levels are described, as well as an increased kynurenine:tryptophan-ratio ... -
The influence of acute unloading on left ventricular strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography in a porcine model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Noninvasive measurements of myocardial strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography correlate to cardiac contractile state but also to load, which may weaken their value as indices of inotropy. In a porcine ... -
