Machine learning applications in proteomics research: How the past can boost the future
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Machine learning is a subdiscipline within artificial intelligence that focuses on algorithms that allow computers to learn solving a (complex) problem from existing data. This ability can be used to generate a solution ... -
Machine learning based on biomarker profiles identifies distinct subgroups of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims The lack of effective therapies for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often ascribed to the heterogeneity of patients with HFpEF. We aimed to identify distinct pathophysiologic ... -
Macular hole – surgical treatment, epidemiology, and risk of bilateral disease
(Doctoral thesis, 2022-12-08)Bakgrunn: Makulahull er en tilstand som hemmer sentralsynet og gir redusert livskvalitet. Personer som har fått et makulahull i et øye, har økt risiko for å utvikle makulahull også i det andre øyet. De siste 30 årene har ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-27)This paper aims to investigate the relevance of morphological changes in the main stabilizing structures of the craniocervical junction in persons with cervicogenic headache (CEH). A case control study of 46 consecutive ... -
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 ... -
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Depressed Subjects Treated With Electroconvulsive Therapy—A Systematic Review of Literature
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is considered to be the most effective acute treatment for otherwise treatment resistant major depressive episodes, and has been used for over 80 years. Still, the underlying mechanism of ... -
Magnetisk resonanstomografi i multisenterstudier. Objektiv og subjektiv evaluering av bildekvalitet
(Master thesis, 2011-12-05)Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technically vulnerable acquisition method. Sequence optimization across equipment increase image quality and reproducibility of multicenter data. Comparisons of scanner-related ... -
Magnetization transfer ratio does not correlate to myelin content in the brain in the MOG-EAE mouse model
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-02)Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) method which may detect demyelination not detected by conventional MRI in the central nervous system of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A ... -
Magnitude and determinants of out of pocket health expenditure among patients visiting outpatients in public hospitals in East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Out-of-pocket payment (OOP) for healthcare services remained the main means of the financing health system in developing countries for a decade. Therefore, we assessed the magnitude and determinants of OOP ... -
