Dust exposure and respiratory health among Tanzanian coffee factory workers
(Doctoral thesis, 2013-09-27)Introduction: Exposure to organic dust may cause detrimental effects to the respiratory system of exposed workers. Organic dust is commonly contaminated with microbes and their derivatives such as bacteria and endotoxin, ... -
Dust Exposure and Respiratory Health Among Workers in Primary Coffee Processing Factories in Tanzania and Ethiopia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: In primary coffee factories the coffee beans are cleaned and sorted. Studies from the 80- and 90-ties indicated respiratory health effects among the workers, but these results may not represent the present ... -
Dust exposure and respiratory health problems in a labour-intensive coal mine in Tanzania
(Doctoral thesis, 2006-12-05)Dust exposure and respiratory health problems were studied among randomly selected workers in a coal mine in Tanzania. The aim of the study was to assess the personal respirable dust and quartz exposure and the prevalence ... -
Duty to treat and perceived risk of contagion during the COVID-19 pandemic: Norwegian physicians’ perspectives and experiences—a questionnaire survey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The COVID-19 pandemic actualised the dilemma of how to balance physicians´ obligation to treat patients and their own perceived risk of being infected. To discuss this in a constructive way we need empirical ... -
Dwarfism in mice lacking collagen-binding integrins alpha 2 beta 1 and alpha 11 beta 1 is caused by severely diminished IGF-1 levels
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02)Mice with a combined deficiency in the α2β1 and α11β1 integrins lack the major receptors for collagen I. These mutants are born with inconspicuous differences in size but develop dwarfism within the first 4 weeks of life. ... -
Dying at home in Norway: Health care service utilization in the final months of life
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-06-18)Background: Although many people prefer to die at home, few people die at home in Norway. We know little about sociodemographic characteristics of people who die at home, the extent of palliative end of life care provided ... -
Dying with dignity – Dignity-preserving care for older women living with incurable cancer at home
(Doctoral thesis, 2021-12-08)Background: the global population is ageing rapidly and most older people are women. They live longer than men, report more illnesses and have a poorer health status. When living with incurable cancer, gender perspectives ... -
Dynamic Arc SUMOylation and Selective Interaction with F-Actin-Binding Protein Drebrin A in LTP Consolidation In Vivo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-10)Activity-regulatedcytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) protein is implicated as a master regulator of long-term forms of synaptic plasticity and memory formation, but the mechanisms controlling Arc protein function are ... -
Dynamic contrast enhanced MRI detects early response to adoptive NK cellular immunotherapy targeting the NG2 proteoglycan in a rat model of glioblastoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-30)There are currently no established radiological parameters that predict response to immunotherapy. We hypothesised that multiparametric, longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of physiological parameters and ... -
Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI shows altered blood–brain barrier function of deep gray matter structures in neuroborreliosis: a case–control study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Main aim was assessment of regional blood–brain barrier (BBB) function by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with neuroborreliosis. Secondary aim was to study the correlation ... -
Dynamic differences in dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism in sputum of COPD patients and controls
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Disturbances in onset and resolution of inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are incompletely understood. Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can be converted into lipid mediators ... -
Dynamic expression of long noncoding RNAs and repeat elements in synaptic plasticity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-01)Long-term potentiation (LTP) of synaptic transmission is recognized as a cellular mechanism for learning and memory storage. Although de novo gene transcription is known to be required in the formation of stable LTP, the ... -
A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. I. Model description and sensitivity analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-23)Background: Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector involved. Another common assumption in ... -
A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. II. Validation of species distribution and seasonal variations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-25)Background: The first part of this study aimed to develop a model for Anopheles gambiae s.l. with separate parametrization schemes for Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis. The characterizations were constructed ... -
Dynamic switching between intrinsic and extrinsic mode networks as demands change from passive to active processing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-08)In this study we report on the relationship between default and extrinsic mode networks across alternating brief periods of rest and active task processing. Three different visual tasks were used in a classic fMRI ON–OFF ... -
The Dynamics and Prognostic Potential of DNA Methylation Changes at Stem Cell Gene Loci in Women's Cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-02-09)Aberrant DNA methylation is an important cancer hallmark, yet the dynamics of DNA methylation changes in human carcinogenesis remain largely unexplored. Moreover, the role of DNA methylation for prediction of clinical ... -
Dynamics of circulating lymphocytes responding to human experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of children's and travelers’ diarrhea, with no licensed vaccine. This study aimed to explore the role of cellular immunity in protection against human ETEC ... -
