Circulating microRNAs as predictive biomarkers of myocardial infarction: Evidence from the HUNT study.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background and aims Several risk prediction models for coronary heart disease (CHD) are available today, however, they only explain a modest proportion of the incidence. Circulating microRNAs (miRs) have recently been ... -
Accuracy of heart rate watches: Implications for weight management
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background Wrist-worn monitors claim to provide accurate measures of heart rate and energy expenditure. People wishing to lose weight use these devices to monitor energy balance, however the accuracy of these devices ... -
Airway segmentation and centerline extraction from thoracic CT - Comparison of a new method to state of the art commercialized methods

Innate immune signalling genetics of pain, cognitive dysfunction and sickness symptoms in cancer pain patients treated with transdermal fentanyl
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Common adverse symptoms of cancer and chemotherapy are a major health burden; chief among these is pain, with opioids including transdermal fentanyl the mainstay of treatment. Innate immune activation has been implicated ... -
The association between normal lung function and peak oxygen uptake in patients with exercise intolerance and coronary artery disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)In coronary artery disease (CAD), exercise intolerance with reduced oxygen uptake at peak exercise (VO2peak) is assumed to primarily reflect cardiovascular limitation. However, oxygen transport and utilization depends on ... -
Diurnal rhythms in the human urine metabolome during sleep and total sleep deprivation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Understanding how metabolite levels change over the 24 hour day is of crucial importance for clinical and epidemiological studies. Additionally, the association between sleep deprivation and metabolic disorders such as ... -
Life after adolescent and adult moderate and severe traumatic brain injury: self-reported executive, emotional, and behavioural function 2-5 years after injury
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Survivors of moderate-severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are at risk for long-term cognitive, emotional, and behaviouralproblems. This prospective cohort study investigated self-reported executive, emotional, and behavioural ... -
Serum and urine concentrations of morphine and morphine metabolites in patients with advanced cancer receiving continuous intravenous morphine: An observational study Cancer palliative care
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background:The feasibility and clinical implication of drug monitoring of morphine, morphine-6-glucuronide (M6G)and morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) need further investigation. This study aimed to determine what predicts ... -
A randomized study of the effect of patient positioning on setup reproducibility and dose distribution to organs at risk in radiotherapy of rectal cancer patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background:The patient positioning in pelvic radiotherapy (RT) should be decided based on both reproducibilityand on which position that yields the lowest radiation dose to the organs at risk (OAR), and thereby less ... -
Association between pulmonary function and peak oxygen uptake in elderly: the Generation 100 study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background Although reduced function of the respiratory system limits peak oxygen uptake in diseases affecting the lungs or airways, the healthy respiratory system is thought to have a spare capacity for oxygen transport ... -
Nanoparticles, ultrasound and microbubble mediated drug delivery in cancer models
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:97, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Denne avhandlingen omhandler forbedring av kreftbehandling gjennom økt levering av cellegift til kreftvev ved bruk av nanopartikler eller ultralyd kombinert med mikrobobler. Ved å kapsle cellegift inn i nanopartikler kan ... -

A new removable airway stent
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background Malignant airway obstruction is a feared complication and will most probably occur more frequently in the future because of increasing cancer incidence and increased life expectancy in cancer patients. Minimal ... -
Maximal strength training as a physical rehabilitation for patients with substance use disorder; a randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background:Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) suffer from multiple health and psychosocial problems.Because poor physical capacities following an inactive lifestyle may indeed contribute to these problems, ... -
Demonstration of non-gaussian restricted diffusion in tumor cells using diffusion time-dependent diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging contrast
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)The diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) technique enables quantification of water mobility for probing microstructural properties of biological tissue and has become an effective tool for collecting information ... -
Quantitative comparison of PET performance-Siemens Biograph mCT and mMR
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background: Integrated clinical whole-body PET/MR systems were introduced in2010. In order to bring this technology into clinical usage, it is of great importance to compare the performance with the well-established PET/CT. ... -
