Inflammatory biomarkers with focus on Calprotectin (S100A8/S100A9) and S100A12 (EN-RAGE) : method development and application in acute radiation proctitis and rheumatoid arthritis patients
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-02-02)Assessments of diseases are usually performed by a combination of clinical symptoms, signs and objective measurements. Biochemical markers of inflammation are important in evaluation of treatment of acute and chronic ... -
Inflammatory bowel disease and asthma. Results from the RHINE study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Asthma and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are common inflammatory diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of IBD with asthma and respiratory symptoms. Methods This study is ... -
Inflammatory markers, the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway, and Vitamin B status after bariatric surgery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-05)Objective: Obesity is associated with increased inflammation and insulin resistance. In conditions with chronic immune activation, low plasma vitamin B6-levels are described, as well as an increased kynurenine:tryptophan-ratio ... -
Inflammatory mediators in saliva and gingival fluid of children with congenital heart defect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives (a) To compare levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in children with and without congenital heart defects (CHD cases and controls) and to test whether a ... -
Inflammatory responses of immune cells and osteoblasts in orthodontically-induced bone remodelling and root resorption: in vitro and in vivo studies
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-11-07)Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by remodelling of the surrounding bone in response to the application of appropriate compressive force (CF) to the tooth. Considerable evidence supports the roles of immune cells of ... -
Inflammatory Stratification in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Reveals Novel Immune Cell Alterations in Patients’ Minor Salivary Glands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)There is a critical need to deconvolute the heterogeneity displayed by the minor salivary glands of primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) patients. This is challenging primarily because the disease etiology remains unknown. The ... -
Inflammatory targeted assessment and laser treatment of knee osteoarthritis : Rater reliability of pain pressure threshold algometry and effectiveness of Low-Level Laser Therapy
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-11-03)Bakgrunn: Ved kneartrose er et høyere nivå av inflammasjon assosiert med mer intens smerte og raskere sykdomsprogresjon. Å redusere kneinflammasjon anbefales derfor som behandlingsmål. Inflammatorisk mediert hyperalgesi ... -
Inflammatory tissue reactions around aseptically loose cemented hip prostheses: A retrieval study of the Spectron EF stem with Reflection All-Poly acetabular cup
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The cemented Spectron EF stem in combination with the cemented non-crosslinked Reflection All-Poly cup showed a high rate of mid-term aseptic loosening. However, the failure mechanisms are not fully known. We assessed the ... -
The influence of acute unloading on left ventricular strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography in a porcine model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Noninvasive measurements of myocardial strain and strain rate by speckle tracking echocardiography correlate to cardiac contractile state but also to load, which may weaken their value as indices of inotropy. In a porcine ... -
