REM sleep behavior disorder is not associated with a more rapid cognitive decline in mild dementia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-07)Objectives: REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is associated with cognitive dysfunctions and is a risk factor for development of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. However, it is unknown whether RBD is associated with ... -
Remaining challenges in Tanzania’s efforts to eliminate iodine deficiency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007)Objective: To determine iodine levels in salt and iodine deficiency prevalence in school-aged children in 16 districts in Tanzania with previous severe iodine deficiency. Design: A cross-sectional study in schoolchildren. ... -
Remifentanil as analgesia for labour pain
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-04-18)Aims: To collect updated information about pharmacological labour analgesia in Norway, especially systemic opioids and epidural. Evaluation of efficacy and safety with remifentanil IVPCA (intravenous patient-controlled ... -
Remote magnetic versus manual catheters: evaluation of ablation effect in atrial fibrillation by myocardial marker levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-04-08)Background A remote magnetic navigation (MN) system is available for radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), challenging the conventional manual ablation technique. The myocardial markers were measured to ... -
Remote postconditioning by humoral factors in effluent from ischemic preconditioned rat hearts is mediated via PI3K/Akt-dependent cell-survival signaling at reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-29)Short non-lethal ischemic episodes administered to hearts prior to (ischemic preconditioning, IPC) or directly after (ischemic postconditioning, IPost) ischemic events facilitate myocardial protection. Transferring coronary ... -
Removal of dental amalgam restorations in patients with health complaints attributed to amalgam: A prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background The Norwegian Ministry of Health and Care Services initiated a project including experimental treatment for patients with health complaints attributed to amalgam restorations. Objective The aim was to ... -
Renal function, sex and age influence purines and pyrimidines in urine and could lead to diagnostic misinterpretation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is commonly used in clinical practice for the diagnosis and follow-up of chronic kidney disease. Screening for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) is based on analysis of biomarkers in urine, ... -
Renal Functional Response-Association With Birth Weight and Kidney Volume
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Renal functional response (RFR) is the acute increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) after a protein load. Low RFR is a marker of single nephron hyperfiltration. Low birth weight (LBW) is associated with ... -
Repeated acetylcholine receptor antibody-concentrations and association to clinical myasthenia gravis development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-02)Introduction: We aimed to examine the longitudinal association between Myasthenia Gravis (MG) clinical severity and concentration of acetylcholine receptor (AChR)-antibodies to evaluate if AChR-antibody variations correlate ... -
Repeated bronchoscopy in health and obstructive lung disease: is the airway microbiome stable?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective Little is known concerning the stability of the lower airway microbiome. We have compared the microbiota identified by repeated bronchoscopy in healthy subjects and patients with ostructive lung diseaseases ... -
Repeated dispensing of codeine is associated with high consumption of benzodiazepines
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008)Aims: Our objective was to explore the use of codeine analgesics in individual patients in Norway, giving special attention to the 10% who consume the highest amounts. Methods: We retrieved data from the Norwegian Prescription ... -
Repeated Influenza Vaccination Boosts and Maintains H1N1pdm09 Neuraminidase Antibody Titers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Antibodies to influenza surface protein neuraminidase (NA) have been found to reduce disease severity and may be an independent correlate of protection. Despite this, current influenza vaccines have no regulatory requirements ... -
Reperfusion Therapy with Low-Dose Insulin or Insulin-Like Growth Factor 2; Myocardial Function and Infarct Size in a Porcine Model of Ischaemia and Reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-19)In an open-chest porcine model, we examined whether myocardial pharmacological conditioning at the time of reperfusion with low-dose insulin or insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), not affecting serum glucose levels, could ... -
