A critical review of pro-cognitive drug targets in psychosis: convergence on myelination and inflammation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-04)Antipsychotic drugs have thus far focused on dopaminergic antagonism at the D2 receptors, as counteracting the hyperdopaminergia in nigrostriatal and mesolimbic projections has been considered mandatory for the antipsychotic ... -
CRMP5 Antibodies—Diagnostic Challenges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-22)CRMP5-associated paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are rare, and only few studies describe larger cohorts of patients with CRMP5 antibodies. We have included 24 patients with CRMP5 antibodies and compared clinical ... -
Cross talk between cytokine and hyperthermia-induced pathways: identification of different subsets of NF-κB-dependent genes regulated by TNFα and heat shock
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-06)Heat shock inhibits NF-κB signaling, yet the knowledge about its influence on the regulation of NF-κB-dependent genes is limited. Using genomic approaches, i.e., expression microarrays and ChIP-Seq, we aimed to establish ... -
“Cross-cultural translation, validity and reliability of the Norwegian Version of the Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire”
(Master thesis, 2020-11-13)Bakgrunn: The Neurophysiology of Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) ble utviklet som et verktøy for å vurdere hvordan individer konseptualiserer sin egen smerteopplevelse. Spørreskjemaet kan bli brukt for å evaluere om helsepersonell ... -
Cross-cultural Validation of the Norwegian Version of the Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument 2.0
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: The Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument (BPII) 2.0 is a disease-specific quality of life questionnaire for patients with patellofemoral instability. While good psychometric properties have been demonstrated, ... -
Cross-fitted instrument: A blueprint for one-sample Mendelian randomization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-29)Bias from weak instruments may undermine the ability to estimate causal effects in instrumental variable regression (IVR). We present here a new approach to handling weak instrument bias through the application of a new ... -
Cross-reactivity of the CEDIA buprenorphine assay in drugs-of-abuse screening: influence of dose and metabolites of opioids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-28)Purpose: The cloned enzyme donor immunoassay (CEDIA) for buprenorphine is applied for both urine drugs-of-abuse screening and compliance monitoring. Sensitivity, specificity, and optimal cutoff of this assay have differed ... -
A cross-sectional analysis of the association between health related quality of life and bodyweight changes
(Master thesis, 2013-01-05)Introduction Bodyweight outside the normal range is commonly associated with reduced health related quality of life (HRQL), while physical activity has shown to improve HRQL. Few studies have investigated the effect of ... -
A cross-sectional study of health literacy in patients with chronic kidney disease: Associations with demographic and clinical variables
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-26)Aim The aim of this study was to investigate health literacy in patients with chronic kidney disease in a multidimensional perspective. Design A descriptive, cross‐sectional study. Methods Patients with chronic kidney ... -
A cross-sectional study of self-reported general health, lifestyle factors, and disease: the Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-02)Background. Information on self-reported health is important for health professionals, and the aim of this study was to examine associations between lifestyle factors and self-reported health and the mediating effect of ... -
Cross-sectional study on exhaled nitric oxide in relation to upper airway inflammatory disorders with regard to asthma and perennial sensitization
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a well-known marker of type-2 inflammation. FeNO is elevated in asthma and allergic rhinitis, with IgE sensitization as a major determinant. Objective: We aimed to ... -
A cross-sectional study on the nutritional status, dietary diversity, and small fish consumption patterns in coastal fishing communities of Ghana
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Fish is readily available to fishing communities. Given the high nutritional value of fish, these communities are expected to have better nutritional status, compared to non-fishing communities. However, this assumption ... -
