C- reactive protein in schizophrenia-spectrum disorders; relationship to cognitive functions and medications
(Doctoral thesis, 2019-12-05)Background: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders are severe mental illnesses characterized by psychotic symptoms, cognitive dysfunction and functional decline. Cognitive impairments have been recognized as core features of ... -
C77G in PTPRC (CD45) is no risk allele for ovarian cancer, but associated with less aggressive disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-31)The pan lymphocyte marker CD45 exists in various isoforms arising from alternative splicing of the exons 4, 5 and 6. While naïve T cells express CD45RA translated from an mRNA containing exon 4, exons 4–6 are spliced out ... -
Call for better response evaluation after neoadjuvant therapy in pancreatic cancer

Can bone apposition predict the retention force of a femoral stem? An experimental weight-bearing hip-implant model in goats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-28)Background: The increasing incidence of prosthesis revision surgery in the Western world has led to an increased focus on the capacity for stem removal. We previously reported on a femoral stem implanted in goats with an ... -
Can the cardiovascular family history reported by our patients be trusted? The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Background and purpose: Family history (FH) is used as a marker for inherited risk. Using FH for this purpose requires the FH to reflect true disease in the family. The aim was to analyse the concordance between young and ... -
Cancer and stroke: commonly encountered by clinicians, but little evidence to guide clinical approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The association between stroke and cancer is well-established. Because of an aging population and longer survival rates, the frequency of synchronous stroke and cancer will become even more common. Different pathophysiologic ... -
Cancer and Total Hip Replacement. Cancer as a risk factor for prosthesis and prosthesis as a risk factor for cancer
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-09-18)Annually, 14 million new cancer cases are detected worldwide; the numbers are expected to rise by 70% over the next decades. In Norway, 30,000 new cancer cases are detected every year. Because of screenings and increased ... -
Cancer cachexia associates with a systemic autophagy-inducing activity mimicked by cancer cell-derived IL-6 trans-signaling
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-05-17)The majority of cancer patients with advanced disease experience weight loss, including loss of lean body mass. Severe weight loss is characteristic for cancer cachexia, a condition that significantly impairs functional ... -
Cancer cell line-specific protein profiles in extracellular vesicles identified by proteomics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-04)Extracellular vesicles (EVs), are important for intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological processes. To explore the potential of cancer derived EVs as disease biomarkers for diagnosis, monitoring, ... -
Cancer epigenetics in solid organ tumours: A primer for surgical oncologists
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-05)Cancer is initiated through both genetic and epigenetic alterations. The end-effect of such changes to the DNA machinery is a set of uncontrolled mechanisms of cell division, invasion and, eventually, metastasis. Epigenetic ... -
Cancer in ANCA-Associated Glomerulonephritis: A Registry-Based Cohort Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-12-18)Background. Immunosuppressive therapy for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis has been associated with increased malignancy risk. Objectives. To quantify the cancer risk associated with contemporary ... -
Cancer related mortality in multiple sclerosis. A population based cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Cancer is a major cause of death, but how cancer influences mortality risk in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is unclear. Objectives: Determine all-cause mortality and mortality following a cancer diagnosis among ... -
Cancer risk in children of mothers with epilepsy and high-dose folic acid use during pregnancy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Importance: Women with epilepsy are recommended high doses of folic acid before and during pregnancy owing to risk of congenital anomalies associated with antiseizure medications. Whether prenatal exposure to high-dose ... -
Cancer Stem Cell-Related Markers in Normal and Neoplastic Oral Mucosa. A study on human samples and experimental models
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-06-04)The existence of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in solid cancers is still a controversial issue. Several markers were successfully used to enrich for cells with stem cell-like properties in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). ... -
Cancer-Associated Ischemic Stroke: The Bergen NORSTROKE Study
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-05-25)Background: Stroke and cancer are both leading causes of death and disability in the Western world. Cancer can lead to a hypercoagulable state that can cause ischemic stroke. Mechanisms include disturbance of the coagulation ... -
Cancer-Associated stroke: The Bergen NORSTROKE Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-13)Background: Underlying malignancy can cause ischemic stroke in some patients. Mechanisms include the affection of the coagulation cascade, tumor mucin secretion, infections and nonbacterial endocarditis. The release of ... -
Cancer-related fatigue and treatment burden in surgically treated colorectal cancer patients – A cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to describe cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who were surgically treated with curative intent, identify subgroups at risk of elevated fatigue ... -
The cannabis pathway to non-affective psychosis may reflect less neurobiological vulnerability
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-18)There is a high prevalence of cannabis use reported in non-affective psychosis. Early prospective longitudinal studies conclude that cannabis use is a risk factor for psychosis, and neurochemical studies on cannabis have ... -
Capillary leakage in post-cardiac arrest survivors during therapeutic hypothermia - a prospective, randomised study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-25)Background: Fluids are often given liberally after the return of spontaneous circulation. However, the optimal fluid regimen in survivors of cardiac arrest is unknown. Recent studies indicate an increased fluid requirement ... -
