Experimental evaluation of new concepts in hip arthroplasty
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:152, Doctoral thesis, 2011)In this thesis we evaluated two different hip arthroplasty concepts trough in vitro studies andnumerical analyses. The cortical strains in the femoral neck area were increased by 10 to 15 % after insertion of aresurfacing ... -
Experimental pain after sleep restriction and cortical excitability in migraine patients: From cross-sectional studies in the interictal phase to crossover studies on the effect of sleep restriction
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2024:10, Doctoral thesis, 2024)Migraine is a common and debilitating primary headache disorder. Despite having pronounced personal, societal, and economical costs, the pathophysiology of migraine is not fully elucidated. Migraine patients experience ... -
Experimental pain and migraine: Investigating the effect of non-invasive cortical modulation of pain, and phasic alterations of pain in migraineurs
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:130, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Background: Both clinical symptoms, imaging findings, and neurophysiological measures suggest varying cyclic alterations in CNS-function between, before, during and after the migraine headache. Altered pain perception ... -
Experimental sleep restriction facilitates pain and electrically induced cortical responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Study Objectives: Sleep restriction (SR) has been hypothesized to sensitize the pain system. The current study determined whether experimental sleep restriction had an effect on experimentally induced pain and pain-elicited ... -
Experimental sleep restriction increases latency jitter in pain elicited cortical responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective Previous studies have shown increased pain scores to painful stimulation after experimental sleep restriction, but reduced or unchanged magnitude of the event related potentials (ERPs) when averaged in the ... -
Explaining Outcome Differences between Men and Women following Mild Traumatic Brain Injury
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Men and women differ in outcomes following mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study, we previously found that women ... -
Exploring cancer in LRRK2 mutation carriers and idiopathic Parkinson's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Objectives To compare the risk of non‐skin cancer in LRRK2 mutation carriers and individuals with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (iPD), explore the age at which LRRK2 mutation carriers have cancer compared to iPD subjects, ... -
Exploring differences in protein metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : a pilot study
(Master thesis, 2016)Background: FTD is the second commonest presentation of early onset dementia after AD. While the clinical features, pathophysiology and genetics of FTD are heterogeneous, AD is a more homogenous disease. Despite the ... -
Exploring difficult morning awakening in Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome using polysomnography
(Master thesis, 2012)Objective: Difficult morning awakening is an important symptom of delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), but there is little knowledge about this phenomenon. The first aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that DSPS ... -
Exploring drug cost and disease outcome in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with biologic and targeted synthetic DMARDs in Norway in 2010–2019 – a country with a national tender system for prescription of costly drugs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background In Norway, an annual tender system for the prescription of biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) has been used since 2007. This study aimed to explore annual ... -
Exploring genes associated with physical inactivity: genome-wide association analyses within the HUNT Study
(Master thesis, 2019)Introduksjon: Fysisk inaktivitet er selvstendig forbundet med flere kroniske sykdommer og redusert levetid. For å begrense disse negative effektene, har fysisk aktivitetsanbefalinger blitt fremmet for å øke fysisk aktivitet ... -
Exploring intensity-dependent modulations in EEG resting-state network efficiency induced by exercise
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Exhaustive cardiovascular load can affect neural processing and is associated with decreases in sensorimotor performance. The purpose of this study was to explore intensity-dependent modulations in brain network ... -
Exploring life-space in the nursing home. An observational longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Traditional performance-based measurements of mobility fail to recognize the interaction between the individual and their environment. Life-space (LS) forms a central element in the broader context of mobility ... -
Exploring Task-Specific Independent Standing in 3-to 5-Month-Old Infants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Perspectives on developmental milestones suggest that an infant’s ability to stand without support occurs at the age of 9–16 months. The two exploratory tasks were part of a baby swimming routine, conducted over a period ... -
Exploring the Impact of Age and Pre-Stroke Modified Rankin Scale in Elderly Thrombectomy: A 15-Year Single-Center Experience
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction: The selection of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke in the elderly remains challenging due to the underrepresentation of these patients in landmark randomized trials. The aim of this ... -
Exploring the impact of the national tender system on the use of costly drugs treating rheumatoid arthritis patients in ten rheumatology centers in Norway (2010–2019)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) are highly effective in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), albeit high drug cost has restricted their use in many countries. ... -
Exploring the Influence of Tech Savviness and Physical Activity in Older Adults Playing an Exergame
(Chapter, 2022)Exergames are widely being used for various serious purposes such as training balance in older adults. However, despite the potential and growing attention given to such movement-based applications, there is lack of knowledge ... -
Exploring the mediating effect of coping strategies on adjustment after sustaining a spinal cord injury within the Norwegian context
