Functional and Prognostic Role of MicroRNAs in Cancer Associated Fibroblasts and Stroma in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-23)Nyere studier har vist at forandringer i bindevevscellene som omgir kreftsvulsten er viktige for utviklingen av munnhulekreft. Kreft stroma kan regulere fenotypen av kreftcellene, og på den måten kan påvirke klinisk forløpet ... -
Congener-specific accumulation of persistent organic pollutants in marine fish from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in marine fish may pose a health risk to human consumers. Using data from ∼8400 individuals of 15 fish species collected in the North-East Atlantic Ocean (NEAO), we ... -
A standardized clinical pathway for hip fracture patients is associated with reduced mortality: data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Purpose: A standardized clinical pathway is recommended for hip fracture patients. We aimed to survey standardization of treatment in Norwegian hospitals and to investigate whether this affected 30-day mortality and quality ... -
Increasing risk of revision due to infection after primary total hip arthroplasty: results from the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background and purpose: The incidence of periprosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty (THA) may be increasing. We performed time-trend analyses of risk, rates, and timing of revision due to infection after ... -
Does maternal genetic liability to folate deficiency influence the risk of antiseizure medication-associated language impairment and autistic traits in children of women with epilepsy?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Prenatal exposure to antiseizure medication (ASM) may lead to low plasma folate concentrations and is associated with impaired neurodevelopment. Objectives: To examine whether maternal genetic liability to ... -
Effect of ADHD Medication on Criminality and Injuries : Quasi-Experimental Evidence for Patients on the Margin of Treatment
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-11-07)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) er den vanligste nevropsykiatriske lidelsen hos barn og unge. Store geografiske variasjoner i diagnostisering og medisinering av ADHD har bidratt til bekymringer om under- ... -
Effect of Pharmacological Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder on Criminality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objective: Criminality rates are higher among persons with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and evidence that medication reduces crime is limited. Medication rates between clinics vary widely even within ... -
Effect of ADHD medication on risk of injuries: a preference-based instrumental variable analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)ADHD is associated with an increased risk of injury. Causal evidence for effects of pharmacological treatment on injuries is scarce. We estimated effects of ADHD medication on injuries using variation in provider preference ... -
Seed Amplification Assay as a Diagnostic Tool in Newly-Diagnosed Parkinson's Disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Seed amplification assays (SAA) are the first credible molecular assay for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, the value of SAA to support the clinicians’ initial diagnosis of PD is not clear. In our study, we analyzed ... -
Diagnostic utility of oropharyngeal swabs as an alternative to lower respiratory tract samples for PCR-based syndromic testing in patients with community-acquired pneumonia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Syndromic PCR-based analysis of lower respiratory tract (LRT) samples in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) improves the bacterial yield and time-to-results compared to culture-based methods. However, obtaining ... -
Syndromic molecular testing in adults hospitalized for suspected community-acquired pneumonia
(Doctoral thesis, 2023-10-26)Den mikrobielle etiologien hos pasienter med samfunnservervet lungebetennelse (CAP) blir ofte ikke avklart på grunn av utilstrekkelige mikrobiologiske metoder og vanskeligheter med å skaffe prøver fra nedre luftveier. Rask ... -
