(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives The aim of this study was to measure blood concentrations of environmental pollutants in Norwegian donors and evaluate the risk of pollutant exposure through blood transfusions. Background Transfused blood ... -
Unsupervised clustering of missense variants in HNF1A using multidimensional functional data aids clinical interpretation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-01)Exome sequencing in diabetes presents a diagnostic challenge because depending on frequency, functional impact, and genomic and environmental contexts, HNF1A variants can cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), ... -
High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin I and T Response Following Strenuous Activity is Attenuated by Smokeless Tobacco: NEEDED (North Sea Race Endurance Exercise Study) 2014
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Use of snus, a smokeless tobacco product, is increasing in Scandinavia. Strenuous physical activity is associated with an acute increase in high‐sensitivity cardiac troponin (swhs‐cTn) concentrations. Current ... -
Long-term effect of cognitive–behavioural therapy in patients with Hypochondriacal Disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for Hypochondriacal Disorder, but the long-term effect has not been examined extensively. Aims To investigate the long-term effect of CBT on ... -
The PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Malignant cell growth is characterized by disruption of normal ... -
Inhibition of NF-κB signaling alters acute myelogenous leukemia cell transcriptomics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is an aggressive hematological malignancy. The pathophysiology of the disease depends on cytogenetic abnormalities, gene mutations, aberrant gene expressions, and altered epigenetic regulation. ... -
Surgical Treatment of Severe Bowel Obstruction as a Rare Complication Following Allogenic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
(Journal article, 2020)Gastrointestinal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease are common complications occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and contribute to a high degree ... -
The Biological Context of C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Studies on the Acute Phase Cytokine Profile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)High serum levels of the acute phase protein C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with an adverse prognosis in renal cancer. The acute phase reaction is cytokine-driven and includes a wide range of inflammatory mediators. ... -
Multimodal imaging of thyroid cancer
(Journal article, 2020)Purpose of review Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer in adults with rising incidence. Challenges in imaging thyroid cancer are twofold: distinguishing thyroid cancer from benign thyroid nodules, which ... -
Single cell signalling and immune cell profiling in psoriasis
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-02-19)Psoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory skin disease with associated autoantigens, autoantibodies, local and systemic inflammation, and systemic comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. ... -
Circulating monocyte subsets in multiple myeloma patients receiving autologous stem cell transplantation – a study of the preconditioning status and the course until posttransplant reconstitution for a consecutive group of patients
(Journal article, 2019)Background Induction therapy of multiple myeloma patients prior to autologous stem cell transplantation has changed from conventional chemotherapy to treatment based on proteasome inhibitors or immunomodulatory drugs. We ... -
