The value of spot urinary creatinine as a marker of muscle wasting in patients with new-onset or worsening heart failure
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Muscle wasting and unintentional weight loss (cachexia) have been associated with worse outcomes in heart failure (HF), but timely identification of these adverse phenomena is difficult. Spot urinary creatinine ... -
Variability of Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Is Driven by Interferon-α and Interferon-α Blood Levels Are Associated With the Class II HLA–DQ Locus
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective Primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is the second most frequent systemic autoimmune disease, affecting 0.1% of the general population. To characterize the molecular and clinical variabilities among patients with ... -
Variants in the fetal genome near pro-inflammatory cytokine genes on 2q13 associate with gestational duration
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-02)The duration of pregnancy is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors. Here we report a fetal genome-wide association meta-analysis of gestational duration, and early preterm, preterm, and postterm ... -
Vascular endothelial function assessed by flow-mediated vasodilatation in young adults born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight: A regional cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Preterm birth and low birthweight have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in young adults. Endothelial dysfunction is established as an early marker for development of atherosclerotic ... -
Vascular normalisation as the stepping stone into tumour microenvironment transformation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A functional vascular system is indispensable for drug delivery and fundamental for responsiveness of the tumour microenvironment to such medication. At the same time, the progression of a tumour is defined by the interactions ... -
Vegan diet and bone health—results from the cross-sectional RBVD study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Scientific evidence suggests that a vegan diet might be associated with impaired bone health. Therefore, a cross-sectional study (n = 36 vegans, n = 36 omnivores) was used to investigate the associations of veganism with ... -
Ventilator flow data predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely premature neonates
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Early prediction of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may facilitate tailored management for neonates at risk. We investigated whether easily accessible flow data from a mechanical ventilator can predict BPD in neonates ... -
Ventilatory efficiency in children and adolescents born extremely preterm
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-13)Purpose: Children and adolescents born extremely preterm (EP) have lower dynamic lung volumes and gas transfer capacity than subjects born at term. Most studies also report lower aerobic capacity. We hypothesized that ... -
Vinorelbine and gemcitabine vs vinorelbine and carboplatin as first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC. A phase III randomised controlled trial by the Norwegian Lung Cancer Study Group
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Platinum-based doublet chemotherapy is the standard first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but earlier studies have suggested that non-platinum combinations are equally effective ... -
Viral diarrhoea in children under two years of age in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Clinical and molecular epidemiology
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-12-08)Introduction: Diarrhoeal disease is one of the leading causes of illness and death in children below five years, especially in developing countries. It is estimated to cause 0.7 million deaths among children younger than ... -
Virtual reality simulation training in stroke thrombectomy centers with limited patient volume—Simulator performance and patient outcome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Virtual reality simulation training may improve the technical skills of interventional radiologists when establishing endovascular thrombectomy at limited-volume stroke centers. The aim of this study was to ... -
Visceral fat percentage for prediction of outcome in uterine cervical cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective The prognostic role of adiposity in uterine cervical cancer (CC) is largely unknown. Abdominal fat distribution may better reflect obesity than body mass index. This study aims to describe computed tomography ... -
Vitamin B12 Deficiency (Un-)Detected Using Newborn Screening in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Untreated vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency may cause delayed development in infants. Several newborn screening (NBS) programs have reported an increased detection rate of B12 deficiency when second-tier dried blood spot (DBS) ... -
Vitamin D Deficiency is Associated with Increased Use of Antimicrobials among Preschool Girls in Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-03-07)Preschool children in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, are highly exposed to influenza viruses. Factors related to infections, nutrition, and environmental conditions that might explain the burden of influenza among these children ... -
Vitamin D levels, brain volume, and genetic architecture in patients with psychosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-08-24)Background: Lower vitamin D levels are found in people with schizophrenia and depressive disorders, and also associated with neuroimaging abnormalities such as reduced brain volume in both animals and humans. Reduced whole ... -
Vitamin D predicts all-cause and cardiac mortality in females with suspected acute coronary syndrome: a comparison with brain natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Vitamin D may not only reflect disease but may also serve as a prognostic indicator. Our aim was to assess the gender-specific utility of vitamin D measured as 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] to predict all-cause and cardiac ... -
Vitamin D supplementation and its influence on musclestrength and mobility in community-dwelling olderpersons: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)Background: It has been suggested that vitamin D status or supplementation is important for maintaining or improving muscle strength and mobility in older adults. The study results, however, do not provide consistent ... -
