Analysis of salivary mycobiome in a cohort of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients from Sudan identifies higher salivary carriage of malassezia as an independent and favorable predictor of overall survival
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-12)Background: Microbial dysbiosis and microbiome-induced inflammation have emerged as important factors in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tumorigenesis during the last two decades. However, the “rare biosphere” of the ... -
Analysis of structural brain asymmetries in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in 39 datasets
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective Some studies have suggested alterations of structural brain asymmetry in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but findings have been contradictory and based on small samples. Here, we performed the ... -
Analytical considerations in deriving 99th percentile upper reference limits for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin assays: Educational recommendations from the IFCC committee on clinical application of cardiac bio-markers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry Committee on Clinical Application of Cardiac Bio-Markers provides evidence-based educational documents to facilitate uniform interpretation and utilization of cardiac ... -
Analytical performance of cardiac troponin assays – Current status and future needs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Concurrent with the introduction of cardiac troponin measurements into the diagnostic definition of myocardial infarction (MI), clinicians and laboratory professionals signaled a clear clinical need for improved analytical ... -
Analytical quality control of INR measurements in primary care
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-11-29)In Norway, most patients on oral anticoagulation with warfarin are treated in primary care. The treatment is monitored with the laboratory method prothrombin time, expressed as International normalized Ratio (INR). It is ... -
Analyzing the Structure of Pathways and Its Influence on the Interpretation of Biomedical Proteomics Data Sets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Biochemical pathways are commonly used as a reference to conduct functional analysis on biomedical omics data sets, where experimental results are mapped to knowledgebases comprising known molecular interactions collected ... -
Anaphylaxis following prick-by-prick testing with peanut
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Anaphylaxis due to prick‐by‐prick testing is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication. Personnel performing testing should be able to recognize and treat anaphylaxis. Adrenaline must be available. In high‐risk ... -
Anastomotic leak after surgery for colon cancer and effect on long‐term survival
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Aim An anastomotic leak after surgery for colon cancer is a recognized complication but how it may adversely affect long‐term survival is less clear because data are scarce. The aim of the study was to investigate the ... -
The anatomic centers of the femoral and tibial insertions of the anterior cruciate ligament: a systematic review of imaging and cadaveric studies reporting normal center locations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is regularly reconstructed if knee joint function is impaired. Anatomic graft tunnel placement, often assessed with varying measurement methods, in the femur and tibia is ... -
Anatomy and evolution of database search engines — a central component of mass spectrometry based proteomic workflows
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-13)Sequence database search engines are bioinformatics algorithms that identify peptides from tandem mass spectra using a reference protein sequence database. Two decades of development, notably driven by advances in mass ... -
ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. Prognostic factors and outcome in a Norwegian cohort
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-02-16)Objective. The objective of this dissertation is to (I) explore the temporal survival and identify prognostic factors in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis with renal affection, ... -
Ancestrally Duplicated Conserved Noncoding Element Suggests Dual Regulatory Roles of HOTAIR in cis and trans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-04)HOTAIR was proposed to regulate either HoxD cluster genes in trans or HoxC cluster genes in cis, a mechanism that remains unclear. We have identified a 32-nucleotide conserved noncoding element (CNE) as HOTAIR ancient ... -
Androgen receptor as potential therapeutic target in metastatic endometrial cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06-30)Purpose: The expression and involvement of estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) is extensively studied in endometrial cancer. Androgen receptor (AR) is a hormone receptor less studied in female cancers, and we here ... -
The ANeED study – ambroxol in new and early dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB): protocol for a phase IIa multicentre, randomised, double-blinded and placebo-controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-26)Background: Currently, there are no disease-modifying pharmacological treatment options for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The hallmark of DLB is pathological alpha-synuclein (aS) deposition. There are growing amounts ... -
Aneuploidy related transcriptional changes in endometrial cancer link low expression of chromosome 15q genes to poor survival
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Aneuploidy is a widely studied prognostic marker in endometrial cancer (EC), however, not implemented in clinical decision-making. It lacks validation in large prospective patient cohorts adjusted for currently standard ... -
