(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-01-14)Objective: Investigate the incidence of multiple sclerosis during 1953–2013 and estimate the prevalence rate of MS on 1 January 2003 and 2013 in Hordaland County, Western Norway. Methods: All patients with onset of disease ... -
Abnormal Uroguanylin Immunoreactive Cells Density in the Duodenum of Patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome Changes following Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Altered densities of enteroendocrine cells play an important role in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Uroguanylin activates guanylate cyclase-C to regulate intestinal electrolyte and water transport. Aim. To ... -
Accumulation of Globotriaosylceramide in Podocytes in Fabry Nephropathy Is Associated with Progressive Podocyte Loss
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background In males with classic Fabry disease, the processes leading to the frequent outcome of ESKD are poorly understood. Defects in the gene encoding α-galactosidase A lead to accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL3) ... -
Accuracy of surgical complication rate estimation using ICD-10 codes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02)Background: The ICD‐10 codes are used globally for comparison of diagnoses and complications, and are an important tool for the development of patient safety, healthcare policies and the health economy. The aim of this ... -
AChR antibodies show a complex interaction with human skeletal muscle cells in a transcriptomic study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-08)Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies are the most important pathogenic marker in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). The antibodies bind to AChRs on the postsynaptic membrane, and this leads to receptor degradation, ... -
Actigraphic assessment of motor activity in acutely admitted inpatients with bipolar disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-20)Introduction: Mania is associated with increased activity, whereas psychomotor retardation is often found in bipolar depression. Actigraphy is a promising tool for monitoring phase shifts and changes following treatment ... -
Actigraphic registration of motor activity reveals a more structured behavioural pattern in schizophrenia than in major depression
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-05-27)Background: Disturbances in motor activity pattern are seen in both schizophrenia and depression. However, this activity has rarely been studied objectively. The purpose of the present study has been to study the complexity ... -
Actigraphy as an objective intra‑individual marker of activity patterns in acute‑phase bipolar disorder: a case series
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-03-07)Background: Actigraphy could be an objective alternative to clinical ratings of motor activity in bipolar disorder (BD), which is of importance now that increased activity and energy are added as cardinal symptoms of ... -
Actigraphy assessment of motor activity and sleep in patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome and the effects of intranasal oxytocin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background and aims The alcohol withdrawal syndrome increases autonomic activation and stress in patients during detoxification, leading to alterations in motor activity and sleep irregularities. Intranasal oxytocin has ... -
Acute cerebral infarcts in multiple arterial territories : The Bergen NORSTROKE study
(Doctoral thesis, 2020-09-18)Introduction The majority of acute cerebral infarcts results from an occlusion of one single cerebral artery followed by loss of blood supply to the respective arterial territory. However, several independent arterial ... -
Acute complications of spinal cord injuries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The aim of this paper is to give an overview of acute complications of spinal cord injury (SCI). Along with motor and sensory deficits, instabilities of the cardiovascular, thermoregulatory and broncho-pulmonary system are ... -
