(Doctoral thesis, 2017-06-16)Background: Overweight, obesity and physical inactivity are on the increase across the world. However, the general lack of evidence on overweight, obesity and physical inactivity and their correlates in Africa, suggests a ... -
Bodyweight changes are associated with reduced health related quality of life: The Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-10)There is lack of studies investigating the association between bodyweight changes and health related quality of life (HRQL). The aim was to study the effect of relative changes in bodyweight over time on HRQL. In the ... -
Bone cement product and failure in total knee arthroplasty: A follow-up study of 26,147 knee replacements between 1997 and 2013 in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background and purpose — The bone cement market for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Norway has been dominated by a few products and distributors. Palacos with gentamicin had a market share exceeding 90% before 2005, but ... -
Bone mineral density and vitamin D in paediatric intestinal failure patients receiving home parenteral nutrition
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background & aims Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are dependent on long-term home parenteral nutrition (HPN) to ensure growth and development. The primary aim of the present study was to assess bone mineral density ... -
Bone regeneration in rat calvarial defects using dissociated or spheroid mesenchymal stromal cells in scaffold-hydrogel constructs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Three-dimensional (3D) spheroid culture can promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSC). 3D printing offers the possibility to produce customized scaffolds for complex ... -
Bones, blood and steel: How bioelectrical impedance analysis is affected by hip fracture and surgical implants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Introduction: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is in widespread use, but there is uncertainty about its validity in patients with metal implants or after acute hip fracture and surgery. We aimed to investigate the ... -
Boosting of cross-reactive and protection-associated T cells in children after live attenuated influenza vaccination
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05)Background. Live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) stimulate a multifaceted immune response including cellular immunity, which may provide protection against newly emerging strains. This study shows proof of concept ... -
Boosting Schizophrenia Genetics by Utilizing Genetic Overlap With Brain Morphology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Schizophrenia is a complex polygenic disorder with subtle, distributed abnormalities in brain morphology. There are indications of shared genetic architecture between schizophrenia and brain measures despite ... -
Borderline values of troponin-T and high sensitivityC-reactive protein did not predict 2-year mortality inTnTpositive chest-pain patients, whereas brain natriureticpeptide did
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)Background: Troponin-T (TnT), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) have been shown to be independent prognostic indicators of total and cardiac death during short- and long-term ... -

Bortezomib abrogates temozolomide-induced autophagic flux through an ATG5 dependent pathway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction: Glioblastoma (GBM) is invariably resistant to temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. Inhibiting the proteasomal pathway is an emerging strategy to accumulate damaged proteins and inhibit their lysosomal degradation. ... -
Bortezomib administered prior to temozolomide depletes MGMT, chemosensitizes glioblastoma with unmethylated MGMT promoter and prolongs animal survival
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-15)Background Resistance to temozolomide (TMZ) is due in part to enhanced DNA repair mediated by high expression of O6-methyl guanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) that is often characterised by unmethylated promoter. Here, ... -
Both the environment and genes are important for concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2000-08)Concentrations of cadmium and lead in blood (BCd and BPb, respectively) are traditionally used as biomarkers of environmental exposure. We estimated the influence of genetic factors on these markers in a cohort of 61 ... -
Bounding the average causal effect in Mendelian randomisation studies with multiple proposed instruments: An application to prenatal alcohol exposure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background As large-scale observational data become more available, caution regarding causal assumptions remains critically important. This may be especially true for Mendelian randomisation (MR), an increasingly popular ... -
