Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon as biomarkers of a vegan diet
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose Dietary biomarkers can potentially overcome the limitations of self-reported dietary data. While in ecology and archaeology, stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen are widely used as biomarkers, this is not ... -
Staged or Simultaneous Surgery for Colon or Rectal Cancer with Synchronous Liver Metastases: Implications for Study Design and Clinical Endpoints
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-06)In patients presenting with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases, the disease burden related to the liver metastasis is the driving cause of limited longevity and, eventually, risk of death. Surgical resection ... -
Standardised data reporting from pre-hospital advanced airway management - a nominal group technique update of the Utstein-style airway template
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-04)Background: Pre-hospital advanced airway management with oxygenation and ventilation may be vital for managing critically ill or injured patients. To improve pre-hospital critical care and develop evidence-based guidelines, ... -
A standardized clinical pathway for hip fracture patients is associated with reduced mortality: data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose: A standardized clinical pathway is recommended for hip fracture patients. We aimed to survey standardization of treatment in Norwegian hospitals and to investigate whether this affected 30-day mortality and quality ... -
Stem cell function is conserved during shortterm storage of cultured epidermal cell sheets at 12˚C
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Transplantation of cultured epidermal cell sheets (CES) can be life-saving for patients with large area burns. CES have also been successfully used to regenerate eye and urethral epithelia in animal models. Short-term ... -
Steppingstones to the implementation of an inhospital fracture and dislocation registry using the AO/OTA classification: compliance, completeness and commitment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-10-18)Background Musculoskeletal trauma represents a considerable global health burden, however reliable population-based incidence data are scarce. A fracture and dislocation registry was established within a well-defined ... -
Steroid use in elderly critically ill COVID-19 patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This secondary analysis of the COVIP study shows a higher 30-day mortality in critically ill elderly COVID-19 patients who received steroids as part of their treatment -
Stomach antral endocrine cells in patients with irritable bowel syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10)To the best of our knowledge, stomach antral endocrine cells have not previously been investigated in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Thus, in the present study, 76 patients with IBS were examined (designated ... -
Strategies for the delay of surgery in the management of resectable hepatobiliary malignancies during the COVID-19 pandemic
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective: We aimed to review data about delaying strategies for the management of hepatobiliary cancers requiring surgery during the covid-19 pandemic. Background: Given the covid-19 pandemic, many jurisdictions, to spare ... -
Strength of Pulvertaft modifications: tensile testing of porcine flexor tendons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The aim of the study was to present two new modifications of the Pulvertaft weave, allowing a higher number of weaves without the need for a longer overlap. The mechanical properties were measured and compared with the ... -
Strength of side-to-side and step-cut repairs in tendon transfers: biomechanical testing of porcine flexor tendons
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The aim of the study was to compare side-to-side with step-cut repairs to determine how much of the width it is possible to remove and still keep the repair strong enough to start active mobilization. Porcine flexor tendons ... -
