Eccentric exercise 48 h prior to simulated diving has no effect on vascular bubble formation in rats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)PURPOSE: Decompression sickness (DCS) caused by vascular bubble formation is a major risk when diving. Prior studies have shown that physical exercise has a significant impact in both reducing and increasing bubble formation. ... -
Echocardiographic indices of cardiac function: Normal values and associations with cardiac risk factors in a population free from cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes: the HUNT 3 Study
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:257, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Ultralydundersøkelse av hjertet (ekkokardiografi) er den undersøkelsen som samlet sett gir mest informasjon om hjertets struktur og funksjon. Undersøkelsen er en hjørnestein i utredning og diagnostikk av hjertesykdom. ... -
Echocardiographic Reference Ranges of Global Longitudinal Strain for All Cardiac Chambers Using Guideline-Directed Dedicated Views
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Myocardial deformation by echocardiographic strain imaging is a key measurement in cardiology, providing valuable diagnostic and prognostic information. Reference ranges for strain should be established from ... -
Ectonucleotidase CD39 and Checkpoint Signalling Receptor Programmed Death 1 are Highly Elevated in Intratumoral Immune Cells in Non–small-cell Lung Cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in both sexes worldwide and has a predicted 5-year survival rate of <20%. Immunotherapy targeting immune checkpoints such as the programmed death 1 (PD-1) signaling pathway ... -
The Effect of 12-Week Treatment with Intermittent Negative Pressure on Blood Flow Velocity and Flowmotion, Measured with a Novel Doppler Device (Earlybird). Secondary Outcomes from a Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Treatment with intermittent negative pressure (INP) is proposed as an adjunct to standard care in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The aims of this study were to evaluate the applicability of a ... -
Effect of 24 sessions of high-intensity aerobic interval training carried out at either high or moderate frequency, a randomized trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Purpose: The training response of an intensified period of high-intensity exercise is not clear. Therefore, we compared the cardiovascular adaptations of completing 24 high-intensity aerobic interval training sessions ... -
Effect of 5 years of exercise intervention at different intensities on brain structure in older adults from the general population: A generation 100 substudy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: The aim was to examine the effect of a 5-year exercise intervention at different intensities on brain structure in older adults from the general population partaking in the randomized controlled trial Generation ... -
Effect of 5 years of exercise training on the cardiovascular risk profile of older adults: the Generation 100 randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Aims The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 5 years of supervised exercise training (ExComb), and the differential effects of subgroups of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous ... -
Effect of a multifaceted educational program for care staff concerning fecal incontinence in nursing home patients: Study protocol of a cluster randomized controlled trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Fecal incontinence has a high prevalence in the older population, which cannot be explained by comorbidity or the anatomical or psychological changes of aging alone. Fecal incontinence leads to a high economic ... -
The effect of a music-based caregiving intervention on pain intensity in nursing home patients with dementia. A cluster-randomized controlled study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Treatment of chronic pain in patients with dementia is challenging because they have reduced ability to report pain and are particularly vulnerable to side effects of analgesics. Different types of music-based therapy have ... -
