Serum levels of the IL-6 family of cytokines predict prognosis in renal cell carcinoma (RCC)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Purpose An improved understanding of RCC immunology should shed further light on RCC tumor biology. Our objective was to study to what extent serum levels of the IL-6 family of cytokines at diagnosis were relevant to ... -
Serum neurofilament as a predictor of 10-year grey matter atrophy and clinical disability in multiple sclerosis: a longitudinal study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The predictive value of serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) on long-term prognosis in multiple sclerosis (MS) is still unclear. Objective Investigate the relation between sNfL levels over a 2-year ... -
Serum uri acid: neuroprotection in thrombolysis. The Bergen NORSTROKE study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-25)Background: A possible synergic role of serum uric acid (SUA) with thrombolytic therapies is controversial and needs further investigations. We therefore evaluated association of admission SUA with clinical improvement and ... -

Sex-specific outcome disparities in very old patients admitted to intensive care medicine: a propensity matched analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Female and male very elderly intensive patients (VIPs) might differ in characteristics and outcomes. We aimed to compare female versus male VIPs in a large, multinational collective of VIPs with regards to outcome and ... -
Sex-specific treatment characteristics and 30-day mortality outcomes of critically ill COVID-19 patients over 70 years of age—results from the prospective COVIP study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose Older critically ill patients with COVID-19 have been the most vulnerable during the ongoing pandemic, with men being more prone to hospitalization and severe disease than women. We aimed to explore sex-specific ... -
The shared genetic basis of mood instability and psychiatric disorders: A cross-trait genome-wide association analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Recent genome-wide association studies of mood instability (MOOD) have found significant positive genetic correlation with major depression (DEP) and weak correlations with other psychiatric disorders. We investigated the ... -
Short and long-term effects of single and multiple sessions of electroconvulsive therapy on brain gray matter volumes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been shown to induce broadly distributed cortical and subcortical volume increases, more prominently in the amygdala and the hippocampus. Structural changes after one ECT ... -
A short endoscopic Secretin test for the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis
(Doctoral thesis, 2018-06-12)Background: The diagnosis of CP is not yet clearly defined. Many national guidelines exist, but - as in many other not clearly defined diseases - there is no worldwide consensus. In CP, evaluation of exocrine pancreatic ... -
Short tau inversion recovery MRI of Modic changes: a reliability study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background Limited reliability data exist for evaluation of spinal edema changes on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences. Purpose To assess the inter-observer reliability ... -
