Investigating individual differences in the acute physiological response during high-intensity interval training in well-trained athletes
(Master thesis, 2021)In previous studies comparing different interval protocols, large individual differences in time above 90% of maximal oxygen consumption (t > 90%V̇O2max) have been observed. Even though t > 90%V̇O2max is regarded as an ... -
Investigating Intra-Individual Networks of Response Inhibition and Interference Resolution using 7T MRI
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Response inhibition and interference resolution are often considered subcomponents of an overarching inhibition system that utilizes the so-called cortico-basal-ganglia loop. Up until now, most previous functional magnetic ... -
Investigating iPSC derived macrophages as a model to study Mtb infection compared to alveolar macrophages, monocyte derived macrophages and THP-1 macrophages
(Master thesis, 2022)Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) er fortsatt et omfattende folkehelseproblem for en stor del av verdens utviklingsland, og forårsaker mer enn 1,5 millioner dødsfall årlig. Imidlertid forblir mange aspekter av interaksjonene ... -
Investigating novel biomarkers of immune activation and modulation in the context of sedentary behaviour: a multicentre prospective ischemic stroke cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Sedentary behaviour is associated with disease, but the molecular mechanisms are not understood. Valid biomarkers with predictive and explanatory properties are required. Therefore, we have investigated traditional ... -
Investigating optimal β-cell-preserving treatment in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults: Results from a 21-month randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Aims To compare outcomes of glucagon‐stimulated C‐peptide tests (GSCTs) in people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) after a 21‐month intervention with either insulin or the dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor ... -
Investigating Possible Effects from a One-Year Coach-Education Program
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The main purpose of the current study was to examine possible effects from a coach education program over one year, in which each coach was supervised by a mentor who facilitated their learning based on coach-centered ... -
Investigating survival, quality of life and cognition in PROton versus photon therapy for IDH- mutated diffuse grade 2 and 3 GLIOmas (PRO-GLIO): a randomised controlled trial in Norway and Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Abstract Introduction The use of proton therapy increases globally despite a lack of randomised controlled trials demonstrating its efficacy and safety. Proton therapy enables sparing of non-neoplastic tissue from ... -
Investigating systems of white matter integrity and cognitive performance using partial least squares analysis
(Master thesis, 2021)Nedgang i kognitive evner i normal aldring er relatert til nedgang i integritet i hjernens hvitstoff, som måles in vivo med bruk av diffusjonstensor avbildning (DTI). Denne studien benyttet partial least squares (PLS), en ... -
Investigating the association between oral health-related QoL and the use of cigarettes and Swedish snus
(Master thesis, 2023)Bakgrunn: I de siste årene har bruken av snus i Norge økt og er nå den mest populære formen for tobakk, der den forbigår sigarettbruk. Den begrensede mengden med forskning gjort på snus og hvordan den påvirker brukeren, ... -
Investigating the causal effect of maternal vitamin B12 and folate levels on offspring birthweight
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Lower maternal serum vitamin B12 (B12) and folate levels have been associated with lower offspring birthweight, in observational studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this relationship is ... -
Investigating the causal effect of smoking on hay fever and asthma: A Mendelian randomization meta-analysis in the CARTA consortium
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Observational studies on smoking and risk of hay fever and asthma have shown inconsistent results. However, observational studies may be biased by confounding and reverse causation. Mendelian randomization uses genetic ... -
Investigating the causal interplay between sleep traits and risk of acute myocardial infarction: a Mendelian randomization study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Few studies have investigated the joint effects of sleep traits on the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). No previous study has used factorial Mendelian randomization (MR) which may reduce confounding, ... -
