Functional profiling reveals altered metabolic activity in divers’ oral microbiota during commercial heliox saturation diving
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: The extreme environment in saturation diving affects all life forms, including the bacteria that reside on human skin and mucosa. The oral cavity alone is home to hundreds of different bacteria. In this study, ... -
Loss of statin treatment years during pregnancy and breastfeeding periods in women with familial hypercholesterolemia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background and aims Women with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are recommended to initiate statin treatment at the same age as men (from 8 to 10 years of age). However, statins are contraindicated when ... -
Examining the educational impact of the mini-CEX: a randomised controlled study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (mini-CEX) as a formative assessment tool among undergraduate medical students, in terms of student perceptions, effects on direct ... -
Lung function and peak oxygen uptake in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease phenotypes with and without emphysema
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Previous studies of associations of forced expiratory lung volume in one second (FEV1) with peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have not taken sex, age and height related variance ... -
Cardiovascular outcomes at recommended blood pressure targets in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to all middle-aged and elderly hypertensive study patients with high cardiovascular risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Event-based clinical outcome trials have shown limited evidence to support guidelines recommendations to lower blood pressure (BP) to <130/80 mmHg in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients with diabetes ... -
Semiquantitative Real-Time PCR to Distinguish Pneumocystis Pneumonia from Colonization in a Heterogeneous Population of HIV-Negative Immunocompromised Patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pneumocystis jirovecii is a threat to iatrogenically immunosuppressed individuals, a heterogeneous population at rapid growth. We assessed the ability of an in-house semiquantitative real-time PCR assay to discriminate ... -
How well do neurosurgeons predict survival in patients with high-grade glioma?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Due to the lack of reliable prognostic tools, prognostication and surgical decisions largely rely on the neurosurgeons’ clinical prediction skills. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of neurosurgeons’ prediction ... -
Prescriptions of analgesics during chronic cancer disease trajectories: A complete national cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose Pain management principles vary considerably between chronic noncancer, acute and cancer pain. Cancer patients responding to oncological treatment may live with low tumor burden for years. Opioid treatment should ... -
Clinical Predictors for Analgesic Response to Radiotherapy in Patients with Painful Bone Metastases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Radiotherapy (RT) reduces pain in about 60% of patients with painful bone metastases, leaving many patients without clinical benefit. This study assesses predictors for RT effectiveness in patients with painful ... -
Normative data for pituitary size and volume in the general population between 50 and 66 years
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose The main aim of this study was to provide normative data for pituitary height and volume in persons between 50 and 66 years in the general population. The secondary aim was to establish a convenient surrogate marker ... -
A prospective observational study comparing two supraglottic airway devices in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Airway management in patients with out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is important and several methods are used. The establishment of a supraglottic airway device (SAD) is a common technique used during OHCA. ... -
Improved unsupervised physics-informed deep learning for intravoxel incoherent motion modeling and evaluation in pancreatic cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose Earlier work showed that IVIM-NETorig, an unsupervised physics-informed deep neural network, was faster and more accurate than other state-of-the-art intravoxel-incoherent motion (IVIM) fitting approaches to ... -
Neural networks for parameter estimation in microstructural MRI: application to a diffusion-relaxation model of white matter
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Specific features of white matter microstructure can be investigated by using biophysical models to interpret relaxation-diffusion MRI brain data. Although more intricate models have the potential to reveal more details ... -
Long-term results in the treatment of lower limb occlusive disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:127, Doctoral thesis, 2021)Background: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death globally, accounting for 31 % of deaths in 2016 according to WHO statistics. Arterial disease in the lower limb, and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are ... -
The pharmacokinetic interaction between nasally administered naloxone and the opioid remifentanil in human volunteers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose Remifentanil has been shown to increase the bioavailability of nasally administered naloxone. The aim of this study was to explore the nature of this observation. Methods We analysed samples from three pharmacokinetic ... -
Changes in appetite during weight loss stabilization using a ketogenic diet
(Master thesis, 2021)Bakgrunn: Vektoppgang etter vekttap er hovedproblemet innen fedmebehandling, hvor mindre enn 20 % klarer å vedlikeholdet et vekttap på 10 % over ett år. Med vekttap følger økt appetitt (økt sultfølelse, ønske om å spise ... -
Surgery for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: A Nationwide Registry-Based Observational Study With Patient-Reported Outcomes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)BACKGROUND Indications and optimal timing for surgical treatment of degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) remain unclear, and data from daily clinical practice are warranted. OBJECTIVE To investigate clinical ... -
REBOARREST, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in non-traumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a study protocol for a randomised, parallel group, clinical multicentre trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is poor and dependent on high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) may be advantageous ... -
