A pilot study to determine whether combinations of objectively measured activity parameters can be used to differentiate between mixed states, mania, and bipolar depression
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03-01)Background: Until recently, actigraphy studies in bipolar disorders focused on sleep rather than daytime activity in mania or depression, and have failed to analyse mixed episodes separately. Furthermore, even those studies ... -
Pilot testing of the first version of the European Association for Palliative Care basic dataset: A mixed methods study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Inadequate description of palliative care cancer patients in research studies often leads to results having limited generalizability. To standardize the description of the sample, the European Association for ... -
Placental histology predicted adverse outcomes in extremely premature neonates in Norway-population-based study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aim We evaluated the role of placental pathology in predicting adverse outcomes for neonates born extremely preterm (EPT) before 28 weeks of gestation. Methods This was a prospective observational study of 123 extremely ... -
Plasma 25 hydroxyvitamin D level and blood gene expression profiles: a cross-sectional study of the Norwegian Women and Cancer Post-genome Cohort
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background/Objectives: Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with increased risk of developing several diseases, but much is unknown about the molecular effects involved. Gene expression technology is increasingly being ... -
Plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D and mortality in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03)Context and Objective: Vitamin D status may affect cardiovascular disease (CVD) development and survival. We studied the relationship between concentrations of the circulating biomarker 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and ... -
Plasma Concentrations of Extracellular DNA in Acute Kidney Injury
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Current diagnostic methods of acute kidney injury (AKI) have limited sensitivity and specificity. Tissue injury has been linked to an increase in the concentrations of extracellular DNA (ecDNA) in plasma. A rapid turnover ... -
Plasma free choline, betaine and cognitive performance: the Hordaland Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02)Choline and betaine are nutrients involved in one-carbon metabolism. Choline is essential for neurodevelopment and brain function. We studied the associations between cognitive function and plasma concentrations of free ... -
Plasma levels of guanylins are reduced in patients with Crohn’s disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Guanylin (GN) and uroguanylin (UGN) are endogenous ligands for the intestinal receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC-C), an important regulator of intestinal fluid homeostasis. Gene expression and protein levels of ... -
Plasma Retinol and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality in the BECAC Population
(Master thesis, 2014-05-15)Background: Observational studies have suggested a possible link between vitamin A and cardiovascular disease mortality risk. However, randomized supplementation trials have failed to show improvement in survival. There ... -

PNKP Mutations Identified by Whole-Exome Sequencing in a Norwegian Patient with Sporadic Ataxia and Edema
(Journal article, 2017-02)We identified PNKP mutations in a Norwegian woman with AOA. This patient had the typical findings with cognitive dysfunction, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar dysarthria, horizontal nystagmus, oculomotor apraxia, and ... -
Polio and post-polio syndrome in non-Western immigrants: A new challenge for the healthcare system in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: To explore the health situation and identify specific health challenges in non-Western immigrants with polio in Norway, by comparing their status with Western immigrants with polio and native Norwegians with ... -
Poly-ADP-ribose assisted protein localization resolves that DJ-1, but not LRRK2 or α-synuclein, is localized to the mitochondrial matrix
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several proteins linked to familial Parkinson disease have been associated with mitochondrial (dys-)function and have been described to reside within mitochondria. The putative mitochondrial and sub-mitochondrial localization ... -
Polygenic overlap and shared genetic loci between loneliness, severe mental disorders, and cardiovascular disease risk factors suggest shared molecular mechanisms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Clinical and epidemiological evidence suggest that loneliness is associated with severe mental disorders (SMDs) and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the mechanisms underlying the relationship ... -
Polymorphisms in hormone metabolism and growth factor genes and mammographic density in Norwegian postmenopausal hormone therapy users and non-users
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-10-27)Introduction: Mammographic density (MD) is one of the strongest known breast cancer risk factors. Estrogen and progestin therapy (EPT) has been associated with increases in MD. Dense breast tissue is characterized by ... -
Polymorphisms of the XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD genes and risk of colorectal adenoma and carcinoma, in a Norwegian cohort : a case control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-03-16)Background: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variation in DNA repair capacity, which may be associated with risk of developing cancer. For colorectal cancer the importance of mutations in ... -
Polyvinylpyrrolidone deposition disease in patients with intravenous opioid use: a case series
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is an excipient widely used in prescription drugs. Depending on the molecular weight (MW), parenterally administered PVP may accumulate in various tissues. Consequently, moderate and ... -
