Applications of Machine Learning in Human Microbiome Studies: A Review on Feature Selection, Biomarker Identification, Disease Prediction and Treatment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The number of microbiome-related studies has notably increased the availability of data on human microbiome composition and function. These studies provide the essential material to deeply explore host-microbiome associations ... -
Applying machine learning in motor activity time series of depressed bipolar and unipolar patients compared to healthy controls
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Current practice of assessing mood episodes in affective disorders largely depends on subjective observations combined with semi-structured clinical rating scales. Motor activity is an objective observation of the inner ... -
Applying polygenic risk scoring for psychiatric disorders to a large family with bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-10-08)Psychiatric disorders are thought to have a complex genetic pathology consisting of interplay of common and rare variation. Traditionally, pedigrees are used to shed light on the latter only, while here we discuss the ... -
Applying the theory of planned behaviour to explain HIV testing in antenatal settings in Addis Ababa - a cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-08-18)Background: To facilitate access to the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services, HIV counselling and testing are offered routinely in antenatal care settings. Focusing a cohort of pregnant women ... -
Appraising Drugs Based on Cost-effectiveness and Severity of Disease in Norwegian Drug Coverage Decisions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Importance: Rising health care costs are a major health policy challenge globally. Norway has implemented a priority-setting system intended to balance cost-effectiveness and concerns for fair distribution, but little is ... -
Approach to the Patient: Diagnosis of Primary Adrenal Insufficiency in Adults
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) is easy to diagnose. The challenge is to consider it as a differential diagnosis since it is rare, symptoms develop gradually and are unspecific and common. In Western countries autoimmune ... -
Approaching a diagnostic point-of-care test for pediatric tuberculosis through evaluation of immune biomarkers across the clinical disease spectrum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-04)The World Health Organization (WHO) calls for an accurate, rapid, and simple point-of-care (POC) test for the diagnosis of pediatric tuberculosis (TB) in order to make progress “Towards Zero Deaths”. Whereas the sensitivity ... -
Appropriate waist circumference cut points for identifying insulin resistance in black youth: a cross sectional analysis of the 1986 Jamaica birth cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-12-07)Background While the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has ethnic specific waist circumference (WC) cut-points for the metabolic syndrome for Asian populations it is not known whether the cut-points for black populations ... -
Arachnoid cysts do not contain cerebrospinal fluid: A comparative chemical analysis of arachnoid cyst fluid and cerebrospinal fluid in adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-10)Background Arachnoid cyst (AC) fluid has not previously been compared with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the same patient. ACs are commonly referred to as containing "CSF-like fluid". The objective of this study was to ... -

(Master thesis, 2024-05-15)Bakgrunn: Arbeidsoppgåver og arbeidsbelasting endra seg i forpleining offshore (kokkar, reinhaldsoperatør og forpleiningsleiar) under koronapandemien som følgje av smittevernstiltak. Dette kan ha påverka risiko for helseplagar ... -
Arc expression and protein-protein interactions in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Exercise- and novelty-induced changes in Arc, BDNF, and PS1 expression and Arc PS1 interaction in APP/PS1 and WT mice
(Master thesis, 2017)The overarching goal of this project was to help elucidate how some of the molecular mechanisms behind memory and learning differ between healthy brains and those with neurodegenerative diseases, specifically by studying ... -
Arc interacts with the integral endoplasmic reticulum protein, calnexin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-20)Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein, Arc, is a major regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory formation. Here we reveal a novel interaction partner of Arc, a resident endoplasmic reticulum ... -
Arc is a flexible modular protein capable of reversible self-oligomerization
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The immediate early gene product Arc (activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein) is posited as a master regulator of long-term synaptic plasticity and memory. However, the physicochemical and structural properties ... -
The Arc of synaptic memory
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010)The immediate early gene Arc is emerging as a versatile, Wnely tuned system capable of coupling changes in neuronal activity patterns to synaptic plasticity, thereby optimizing information storage in the nervous system. ... -
