Streptococcus dysgalactiae Bloodstream Infections, Norway, 1999-2021
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Streptococcus dysgalactiae increasingly is recognized as a pathogen of concern for human health. However, longitudinal surveillance data describing temporal trends of S. dysgalactiae are scarce. We retrospectively identified ... -
Imaging tumor lactate is feasible for identifying intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients with postsurgical biochemical recurrence
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)While radical prostatectomy remains the mainstay of prostate cancer (PCa) treatment, 20 to 40% of patients develop postsurgical biochemical recurrence (BCR). A particularly challenging clinical cohort includes patients ... -
eRegMat – a digital registry for improved quality of antenatal care: a cluster-randomized trial in a rural area in Bangladesh
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction Longitudinal client tracking systems with digital health interventions are recommended for implementation in resource-limited settings but lack evidence of benefits, harms, and implementation. In the eRegMat ... -
Longitudinal Relationship Between Reduced Modic Change Edema and Disability and Pain in Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain

The impact of gingivitis reduction on lung function: a randomized trial under intensified oral hygiene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Periodontal disease and lung function impairment were found to be associated with low-grade systemic or local inflammation, and it might be that gingival/periodontal inflammation triggers lung function due ... -
Adult presentation of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency: a possible cause of hyperammonemia after high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Hyperammonemia is a rare and often fatal complication following the conditioning therapy in autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients. It is characterized by anorexia, vomiting, lethargy and coma without ... -
Targeted client communication to improve timely antenatal care utilization : Assessment, development and evaluation
(Doctoral thesis, 2024-09-09)Bakgrunn Rettidige svangerskapskontroller reduserer sykelighet og dødelighet hos mor og nyfødt ved at gravide med økt risiko for svangerskapsrelaterte komplikasjoner kan identifiseres i tide, sikres adekvat behandling og ... -
Oral bacterial composition associated with lung function and lung inflammation in a community-based Norwegian population
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background The oral cavity is the gateway to the bacteria community in the lung. Disruption of the symbiotic balance of the oral microbiota has been associated with respiratory diseases. However, little is known about ... -
