Novel biomarkers in patients with uncontrolled hypertension with and without kidney damage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) are insensitive biomarkers for early detection of hypertension-mediated organ damage (HMOD). In this nationwide cross-sectional ... -
Reference intervals of circulating secretoneurin concentrations determined in a large cohort of community dwellers: the HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objectives Secretoneurin (SN) is a novel cardiac biomarker that associates with the risk of mortality and dysfunctional cardiomyocyte Ca2+ handling in heart failure patients. Reference intervals for SN are unknown. M ... -
Clinicopathological and radiological stratification within FIGO 2018 stages improves risk-prediction in cervical cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Objective: Assess the added prognostic value of the updated International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2018 staging system, and to identify clinicopathological and radiological biomarkers for improved ... -
Lower Limits for Reporting High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin Assays and Impact of Analytical Performance on Patient Misclassification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background: Cardiac troponin measurements are indispensable for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction and provide useful information for long-term risk prediction of cardiovascular disease. Accelerated diagnostic pathways ... -
Areas of consensus on unwarranted and warranted transfers between nursing homes and emergency care facilities in Norway: a Delphi study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Transferring residents from nursing homes (NHs) to emergency care facilities (ECFs) is often questioned as many are terminally ill and have access to onsite care. While some NH to ECF transfers have merit, ... -
Smoking during pregnancy and its effect on placental weight: a Mendelian randomization study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-04)Background: The causal relationship between maternal smoking in pregnancy and reduced offspring birth weight is well established and is likely due to impaired placental function. However, observational studies have given ... -
Three Scandinavian countries did not see the same increase in foetal situs inversus observed in China during the COVID-19 pandemic

Exercise training and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aims The aims of this sub-study of the SMARTEX trial were (1) to evaluate the effects of a 12-week exercise training programme on serum levels of high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) in patients with moderate ... -
A genome-wide association study provides insights into the genetic etiology of 57 essential and non-essential trace elements in humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Trace elements are important for human health but may exert toxic or adverse effects. Mechanisms of uptake, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are partly under genetic control but have not yet been extensively mapped. ... -
Intake of different types of seafood and meat and risk of type 2 diabetes in women: a prospective study supported by a dietary intervention in mice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Detailed knowledge regarding the associations between intake of different types of seafood and meat and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), and insight into possible mechanisms are warranted. In this study we aimed to ... -
No association between long-chain n-3 fatty acid intake during pregnancy and risk of type 1 diabetes in offspring in two large Scandinavian pregnancy cohorts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to investigate whether higher dietary intake of marine n-3 fatty acids during pregnancy is associated with a lower risk of type 1 diabetes in children. Methods The Danish ... -
Osteopontin characterizes bile duct-associated macrophages and correlates with liver fibrosis severity in primary sclerosing cholangitis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background and Aims: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an immune-mediated cholestatic liver disease for which pharmacological treatment options are currently unavailable. PSC is strongly associated with colitis ... -
First trans-diagnostic experiences with a novel micro-choice based concentrated group rehabilitation for patients with low back pain, long COVID, and type 2 diabetes: a pilot study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background The health care is likely to break down unless we are able to increase the level of functioning for the growing number of patients with complex, chronic illnesses. Hence, novel high-capacity and cost-effective ... -
