User need and resource allocation in public long-term care. The use of disability and impairment instruments: Application on a large Norwegian municipality
(Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2016:89, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Summary: In the coming decades, the European countries will witness great demographic changes. Within the next 25 years, the number of people aged 80 years or older will double. The elderly’s overall use of resources ... -
User-centered development of a computerized pain body map: Digital assessment of pain distribution in patients with advanced cancer
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2016:249, Doctoral thesis, 2016)Summary Pain is among the most feared symptoms of cancer, and in order to provide adequate pain management, pain assessment and communication are of paramount importance. Changes in pain location and intensity may be ... -
User-centred Design of a Digital Care Plan for Patients and Professionals in Cross-organisational Teams
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Care for patients with multimorbidity and long-term complex needs is costly and with demographic changes this group is growing. The research project Dignity Care addresses how to improve the care for this patient group by ... -
The Uses of Attention: Elements of Meditative Practice
(Chapter, 2014)This essay explores typical features of meditative techniques, primarily by investigating two aspects of attention: its focus and its mode. -
Using adopted individuals to partition indirect maternal genetic effects into prenatal and postnatal effects on offspring phenotypes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Maternal genetic effects can be defined as the effect of a mother’s genotype on the phenotype of her offspring, independent of the offspring’s genotype. Maternal genetic effects can act via the intrauterine environment ... -
Using Automated Feature Selection for Building Case-Based Reasoning Systems: An Example from Patient-Reported Outcome Measurements
(Chapter, 2021)Feature selection for case representation is an essential phase of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system development. To (semi-)automate the feature selection process can ease the knowledge engineering process. This paper ... -
Using blood calprotectin as a measure of blood neutrophils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Presently, bed-side or at home quantification of neutrophils in blood (b-neutrophils) is not practical, because cytometric methods are too expensive and technically demanding. We have explored whether calprotectin concentration ... -
Using computer vision to quantify mirror movements in children with unilateral cerebral palsy
(Master thesis, 2016)Mirror movements (MM) are common in children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP). In the clinic and in research, MM are most often assessed qualitatively using the scoring system proposed by Woods and Teuber ... -
Using death certificate data to study place of death in 9 European countries: opportunities and weaknesses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2007)Background: Systematic and reliable epidemiological information at population level, preferably cross-national, is needed for an adequate planning of (end-of-life) health care policies, e.g. concerning place of death, ... -
Using electrophysiological measures to evaluate the sense of presence in immersive virtual environments: An event‐related potential study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sense of presence has been often explored in the context of virtual reality (VR) and immersive visual technologies; however, standardized and objective measures of the sense of presence have been difficult to find. Studies ... -
Using Genomic Structural Equation Modeling to Partition the Genetic Covariance Between Birthweight and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors into Maternal and Offspring Components in the Norwegian HUNT Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The Barker Hypothesis posits that adverse intrauterine environments result in fetal growth restriction and increased risk of cardiometabolic disease through developmental compensations. Here we introduce a new statistical ... -
Using Intervention Mapping to Develop a Decision Support System–Based Smartphone App (selfBACK) to Support Self-management of Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Development and Usability Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: International guidelines consistently endorse the promotion of self-management for people with low back pain (LBP); however, implementation of these guidelines remains a challenge. Digital health interventions, ... -
Using machine learning to assess the extent of busy ambulances and its impact on ambulance response times: A retrospective observational study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Background Ambulance response times are considered important. Busy ambulances are common, but little is known about their effect on response times. Objective To assess the extent of busy ambulances in Central Norway ... -
Using Metabolomics to Differentiate Player Positions in Elite Male Basketball Games: A Pilot Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: The current study compared metabolic profiles and movement patterns between different player positions and explored relationships between indicators of internal and external loads during elite male basketball ... -
Using microdialysis to administer and assess drugs aimed at attenuating Alzheimer’s disease-related neuropathology
(Master thesis, 2021)Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and is characterized by the neuropathological hallmarks amyloid-β and neurofibrillary tangles. Despite tremendous efforts in understanding the molecular, pathophysiological, ... -
Using multiple random index dates with the reverse waiting time distribution improves precision of estimated prescription durations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose To improve the precision of prescription duration estimates when using the reverse waiting time distribution (rWTD). Methods For each patient we uniformly sampled multiple random index dates within a sampling ... -
Using multivariable Mendelian randomization to estimate the causal effect of bone mineral density on osteoarthritis risk, independently of body mass index
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives Observational analyses suggest that high bone mineral density (BMD) is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA); it is unclear whether this represents a causal effect or shared aetiology and whether these ... -
Using network intervention analysis to explore associations between participant expectations of and difficulties with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia and clinical outcome: A proof of principle study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Research about predictors of response to cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is ongoing. We examined any whether pre-intervention expectations or post-intervention appraisals of difficulties in ... -
Using persistent homology to reveal hidden covariates in systems governed by the kinetic Ising model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We propose a method, based on persistent homology, to uncover topological properties of a priori unknown covariates in a system governed by the kinetic Ising model with time-varying external fields. As its starting point ... -
