Femur Bone Fracture Treatment in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A cost-effectiveness Analysis
(Master thesis, 2017-10-21)Introduction: Surgically treatable conditions represent about 11 % of the world’s Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) lost. Cost-effectiveness analyses for trauma show that surgical interventions are more cost effective ... -
Ferroptosis Holds Novel Promise in Treatment of Cancer Mediated by Non-coding RNAs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Ferroptosis is a newly identified form of regulated cell death that is associated with iron metabolism and oxidative stress. As a physiological mechanism, ferroptosis selectively removes cancer cells by regulating the ... -
Fetal age assessment based on 2nd trimester ultrasound in Africa and the effect of ethnicity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-10-30)Background: The African population is composed of a variety of ethnic groups, which differ considerably from each other. Some studies suggest that ethnic variation may influence dating. The aim of the present study was to ... -
Fetal Liver Blood Flow Distribution: Role in Human Developmental Strategy to Prioritize Fat Deposition versus Brain Development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-08-22)Among primates, human neonates have the largest brains but also the highest proportion of body fat. If placental nutrient supply is limited, the fetus faces a dilemma: should resources be allocated to brain growth, or to ... -
Fetal size in the second trimester is associated with the duration of pregnancy, small fetuses having longer pregnancies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-07-16)Background: Conventionally, the pregnancy duration is accepted to be 280–282 days. Fetuses determined by ultrasound biometry to be small in early pregnancy, have an increased risk of premature birth. We speculate that the ... -
Fetal splanchnic arteries. A longitudinal study and hemodynamic relations to common Doppler parameters
(Doctoral thesis, 2008-05-30)Although the arterial splanchnic circulation is known to be dynamic and of clinical interest during postnatal life, little is known about its prenatal development and function. We hypothesised that current ultrasound ... -
Fetal Superior Vena Cava Blood Flow and Its Fraction of Cardiac Output: A Longitudinal Ultrasound Study in the Second Half of Pregnancy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Introduction: In the fetus, a large proportion of the superior vena cava blood flow (QSVC) comes from the brain. To provide the possibility of using this blood flow as a representation of fetal brain circulation, we aimed ... -
Fever in the tropics: aetiology and case-fatality - a prospective observational study in a tertiary care hospital in South India
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-07-30)Background: The objective of this study was to describe aetiology and case fatality of fever among inpatients in a tertiary care hospital in South India. Methods: This was an observational, prospective study conducted in ... -
Fever-related ataxia: a case report of CAPOS syndrome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background: CAPOS (Cerebellar ataxia, Areflexia, Pes cavus, Optic atrophy and Sensorineural hearing loss) syndrome is caused by the heterozygous mutation, c.2452G > A, in the ATP1A3 gene. Other mutations in this gene ... -
A few more minutes make a difference? The relationship between content and length of GP consultations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-03)Objectives. To investigate the relationship between the length of a medical consultation in a general practice setting and the biopsychosocial information obtained by the physician, and to explore the characteristics of ... -

FGD5 amplification in breast cancer patients is associated with tumor proliferation and a poorer prognosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04)Purpose: Proliferation is a hallmark of cancer. Using a combined genomic approach, FGD5 amplification has been identified as a driver of proliferation in Luminal breast cancer. We aimed to describe FGD5 copy number change ... -
Fibroblast EXT1-Levels Influence Tumor Cell Proliferation and Migration in Composite Spheroids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-07-25)Background: Stromal fibroblasts are important determinants of tumor cell behavior. They act to condition the tumor microenvironment, influence tumor growth, support tumor angiogenesis and affect tumor metastasis. Heparan ... -
Fibroblast α11β1 Integrin Regulates Tensional Homeostasis in Fibroblast/A549 Carcinoma Heterospheroids
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-07-30)We have previously shown that fibroblast expression of α11β1 integrin stimulates A549 carcinoma cell growth in a xenograft tumor model. To understand the molecular mechanisms whereby a collagen receptor on fibroblast can ... -
Fibulin-2 expression associates with vascular invasion and patient survival in breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Stromal elastosis is related to good prognosis in breast cancer and fibulin-2 helps to stabilize elastic fibers in basement membranes. Here, we examined the level of perivascular fibulin-2 expression in relation to elastosis ... -
Fifteen-year trend in treatment outcomes among patients with pulmonary smear-positive tuberculosis and its determinants in Arsi Zone, Central Ethiopia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-19)Background: Directly Observed Treatment Short course (DOTS) strategy is aimed at diagnosing 70% of infectious tuberculosis (TB) and curing 85% of it. Arsi Zone of Ethiopia piloted DOTS strategy in 1992. Since then, the ... -
Fiksjonsbasert kommunikasjonstrening i medisinsk utdannelse - med bruk av teaterfaglige virkemidler
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-01-20)Simulated patients are today used world wide in clinical communication training. Using simulated patients will imply the use of theatrical fiction. Basic elements of a theatrical fiction are relocation of time and space ... -
Filamin A binds to CCR2B and regulates its internalization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-08-17)The chemokine (C-C motif) receptor 2B (CCR2B) is one of the two isoforms of the receptor for monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (CCL2), the major chemoattractant for monocytes, involved in an array of chronic inflammatory ... -
