Adverse events with fatal outcome associated with alemtuzumab treatment in multiple sclerosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-08-12)Objective: Sporadic fatal adverse events have been reported during treatment of multiple sclerosis with alemtuzumab. To provide a systematic overview, we searched the centralized European Medicines Agency database of ... -
Choice of psychological coping in laryngectomized, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients versus multiple sclerosis patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-18)To be treated for cancer must be a frightening experience. Yet quality of life (QoL) of successfully treated cancer patients seems to be relatively similar in comparison with QoL of a general population, with psychological ... -
The cost of multiple sclerosis in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-11-16)Health economic aspects have been increasingly important during introduction of new treatments for multiple sclerosis. As a partial response for Norway, a costof- illness study was carried out to estimate the yearly cost ... -
Discovery and initial verification of differentially abundant proteins between multiple sclerosis patients and controls using iTRAQ and SID-SRM
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01)In the present study, we aimed to discover cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins with significant abundance difference between early multiple sclerosis patients and controls, and do an initial verification of these proteins ... -
Disease-modifying treatments for multiple sclerosis – a review of approved medications
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-13)Background and purpose: There is still no curative treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS), but during the last 20 years eight different disease-modifying compounds have been approved for relapsing remitting MS (RRMS). ... -
Level of education and multiple sclerosis risk after adjustment for known risk factors: The EnvIMS study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05-26)Background: Several recent studies have found a higher risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) among people with a low level of education. This has been suggested to reflect an effect of smoking and lower vitamin D status in the ... -
Level of education and multiple sclerosis risk over a 50-year period: Registry-based sibling study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: The conflicting results from studies on socioeconomic status (SES) and multiple sclerosis (MS) risk might be due to a change in the distribution of environmental exposures over time or to methodological limitations ... -
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 ... -
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics of human cerebrospinal fluid. Biomarker discovery and verification in multiple sclerosis
(Master thesis, 2012-06-01)The main focus of this study was to use mass spectrometry-based proteomics to study protein abundance in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to reveal proteins that could serve as biomarker candidates in multiple sclerosis (MScl). ... -
Time trends in the incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis in Norway during eight decades
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-05)Norway has been subjected to numerous epidemiological investigations on the prevalence and incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS), dating back to 1935. The objective of this study was to review the studies on the prevalence ... -
Timing of use of cod liver oil, a vitamin D source, and multiple sclerosis risk: The EnvIMS study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: Low vitamin D levels have been associated with an increased risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), although it remains unknown whether this relationship varies by age. Objective: The objective of this paper is to ... -
Validation of the multiple sclerosis diagnosis in the Norwegian Patient Registry
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-13)Background: Health registries may yield important data for epidemiological studies. However, in order to be a valuable source for information, the registered data have to be correct. Objectives: The aim of the study was ...
