(Master thesis, 2016-06-06)Leishmania is an intracellular protozoa causing the tropical disease leishmaniasis. The disease is spread by female sandflies from the Phlebotomus and the Lutzomyia genera, and can cause diverse manifestations ranging from ... -
ramr: an R/Bioconductor package for detection of rare aberrantly methylated regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Motivation: With recent advances in the field of epigenetics, the focus is widening from large and frequent disease- or phenotype-related methylation signatures to rare alterations transmitted mitotically or transgenerationally ... -
Randomized clinical trial to assess whether the duration of cotrimoxazole preventive therapy in HIV patients with CD4 counts >350 CD4 cells/μL by antiretroviral treatment influences the rate of carriage of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Study protocol
(Report, 2016-09-20)Cotrimoxazole preventive therapy (CPT) is recommended for prevention of morbidity and mortality due to Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PJP) and other infections in HIV positive patients with low immunity. In industrial ... -
Randomized controlled trials and alternative study designs in surgical oncology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Surgery is central to the cure of most solid cancers and an integral part of modern multimodal cancer management for early and advanced stage cancers. Decisions made by surgeons and multidisciplinary team members are based ... -
Randomized implementation of a primary human papillomavirus testing-based cervical cancer screening protocol for women 34 to 69 years in Norway
