(Doctoral thesis, 2006-11-24)Sammendrag (Norwegian summary) Formålet med denne studien var å undersøke forekomsten av barneulykker i Bergen sammenliknet med forekomsten andre steder innenlands og utenlands. Vi ønsket å undersøke hvilke barn, karakterisert ... -
Molecular dysfunction associated with the human mitochondrial 3302A>G mutation in the MTTL1 (mt-tRNA Leu(UUR))) gene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-11-27)The gene encoding mt-tRNALeu(UUR), MT-TL1, is a hotspot for pathogenic mtDNA mutations. Amongst the first to be described was the 3302A>G transition which resulted in a substantial accumulation in patient muscle of RNA19, ... -

Postural control in a simulated saturation dive to 240 msw.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007)INTRODUCTION: There is evidence that increased ambient pressure causes an increase in postural sway. This article documents postural sway at pressures not previously studied and discusses possible mechanisms. METHODS: Eight ... -

Hyperoxia retards growth and induces apoptosis and loss of glands and blood vessels in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors
(Journal article, 2007-01-30)This study investigated the effects of hyperoxic treatment on growth, angiogenesis, apoptosis, general morphology and gene expression in DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors. Methods: One group of animals was exposed to normobaric ... -
Assessing medical students’ attitudes towards learning communication skills – which components of attitudes do we measure?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-03-30)Background. The Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS) created by Rees, Sheard and Davies and published in 2002 has been a widely used instrument for measuring medical students' attitudes towards learning communication ... -
Gene expression profiles in rat brain disclose CNS signature genes and regional patterns of functional specialisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-04-04)Background: The mammalian brain is divided into distinct regions with structural and neurophysiological differences. As a result, gene expression is likely to vary between regions in relation to their cellular composition ... -

Lipogenic effects of antipsychotic drugs in cultured cells and in rat
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-05-10)The etiology of the serious psychiatric disorder schizophrenia is unknown. Epidemiological studies indicate a high heritability with a complex pattern of transmission. Moreover, structural and genetic findings indicate ... -
The use of prosthetic grafts in above-knee femoropopliteal bypass surgery : a clinical study of long-term results and risk factors for failure
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-05-24)Purpose: The purpose of this study has been to investigate the results of above-knee prosthetic femoropopliteal bypass surgery and to identify risk factors for complications and graft failure. The influence of comorbidity, ... -

Portal and umbilical venous distribution in the human fetus : a longitudinal ultrasound study
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-06-26)Knowledge of the venous perfusion of the human fetal liver is fragmentary and mainly limited to the umbilical circulation. Current ultrasound technology makes it possible to study blood flow noninvasively and to give new ... -
Magnetic resonance imaging of the knee in Norway 2002–2004 (national survey): rapid increase, older patients, large geographic differences
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-07-22)Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee is the second most common MRI examination in Norway after head/brain MRI. Little has been published internationally on trends in the use of knee MRI after 1999. This ... -
Use of immunohistochemical markers can refine prognosis in triple negative breast cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-07-24)Background: Basal-like breast cancer has been extensively characterized on the basis of gene expression profiles, but it is becoming increasingly common for these tumors to be defined on the basis of immunohistochemical ... -
Multiple organ failure after trauma affects even long- term survival and functional status
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-09-04)Background The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of organ failure in trauma patients treated in an intensive care unit (ICU), and to study the relationship between organ failure and long-term survival and ... -
Brain MRI changes in Parkinson’s disease A cross sectional study
(Doctoral thesis, 2007-11-09)Background: Cognitive impairment is common even in newly diagnosed Parkinson’s disease (PD), and characteristically involves executive and visuospatial functions with deficits also in the memory domain. There is an increased ...
