High prevalence of vertebral fractures and low trabecular bone score in patients with fragility fractures: A cross-sectional sub-study of NoFRACT
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: Norway has among the highest incidence rates of fractures in the world. Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) and trabecular bone score (TBS) provide information about fracture risk, but their importance have not ... -
A high proportion of dietary casein attenuates the obesogenic effect of high-fat diets in C57BL/6J mice
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)The obesity epidemic is on the rise, and currently represents the largest global health threat. Westernization and advances in food production have led to a contemporary diet comprised of 49 % energy from carbohydrates, ... -
High protein and cholesterol intakes associated with emergence of glucose intolerance in a low-risk Canadian Inuit population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07)Objective: The rate of type 2 diabetes mellitus among Inuit is 12·2 % in individuals over 50 years of age, similar to the Canadian prevalence. Given marked dietary transitions in the Arctic, we evaluated the dietary and ... -
High PTEN gene expression is a negative prognostic marker in human primary breast cancers with preserved p53 function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Purpose: PTEN is an important tumor suppressor in breast cancer. Here, we examined the prognostic and predictive value of PTEN and PTEN pseudogene (PTENP1) gene expression in patients with locally advanced breast cancer ... -
High rate of antimicrobial resistance and multiple mutations in the dihydrofolate reductase gene among Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from HIV-infected adults in a community setting in Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize molecular mechanisms of resistance to trimethoprim and other antibiotics in Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates from HIV-infected adults in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods: ... -
High rates of central obesity and sarcopenia in CKD irrespective of renal replacement therapy - An observational cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-11)Background: Poor nutritional status of patients with renal disease has been associated with worsening of renal function and poor health outcomes. Simply measuring weight and height for calculation of the body mass index ... -
High Throughput Screening of Additives Using Factorial Design to Promote Survival of Stored Cultured Epithelial Sheets
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-18)There is a need to optimize storage conditions to preserve cell characteristics during transport of cultured cell sheets from specialized culture units to distant hospitals. In this study, we aimed to explore a method to ... -
High throughput toxicity screening and intracellular detection of nanomaterials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01)With the growing numbers of nanomaterials (NMs), there is a great demand for rapid and reliable ways of testing NM safety—preferably using in vitro approaches, to avoid the ethical dilemmas associated with animal research. ... -
High visceral fat percentage is associated with poor outcome in endometrial cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10-19)Despite evidence of increased endometrial cancer (EC) risk in obese women, the impact of obesity on clinical and histological phenotype is poorly understood. This study explored abdominal fat volumes and fat distribution ... -
High-affinity anti-Arc nanobodies provide tools for structural and functional studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) is a multidomain protein of retroviral origin with a vital role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and memory formation in mammals. However, the mechanistic ... -
