Sykdommen har et svært varierende ... -
The effect of high and low volume of aerobic interval training on endothelial function in healthy men
(Master thesis, 2010)Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Exercise training has shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality and induce large health benefits. Today we experience a sedentary “epidemic”, and despite ... -
Analysis of Manganese Enhanced MRI of the Normal and Injured Rat Central Nervous System
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:40, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Injury or disease in the central nervous system (CNS) such as stroke or Alzheimer's disease is often irreversible, thus patients su_ering from such injuries or diseases have poor prognosis. Important factors in CNS injury ... -
3D ultrasound reconstruction algorithms from analog and digital data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Freehand 3D ultrasound is increasingly being introduced in the clinic for diagnostics and image-assisted interventions. Various algorithms exist for combining 2D images of regular ultrasound probes to 3D volumes, being ... -
Rehabilitation of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:34, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Patients having completed rehabilitation after undergoing THA demonstrate a 40 % reduced muscle strength, 26 % lower maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), 42 % reduced work efficiency and an asymmetric loading of the limbs ... -
The effect of 9 weeks with high intensity aerobic interval training in combination with preloads of protein on weight reduction in overweight and obese women
(Master thesis, 2010)Background: Overweight and obesity are a result of an imbalance between energy expenditure and energy intake. Protein is the macronutrient with the most satiating effect. Preloads of protein has shown to reduce subsequent ... -
The role of entry screening in case finding of tuberculosis among asylum seekers in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Most new cases of active tuberculosis in Norway are presently caused by imported strains and not transmission within the country. Screening for tuberculosis with a Mantoux test of everybody and a chest X-ray ... -
Exercise training in genetic models of heart failure: Mice with congenital disruption of the muscle LIM protein (MLP) or inducible cardiomyocyte-specific disruption of the sarco-(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2)
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:120, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Several lines of evidence suggest that exercise training improves cardiac function and enhances aerobic performance after myocardial infarction, but it is not known whether similar beneficial effects occur in heart failure ... -
Health care providers underestimate symptom intensities of cancer patients: A multicenter European study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010)Background: Many patients with advanced cancer depend upon health care providers for symptom assessment. The extent of agreement between patient and provider symptom assessments and the association of agreement with ... -
Impaired calcium handling in animal and human cardiomyocytes reduces contractility and increases arrhythmia potential: Effects of aerobic exercise training
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2010:133, Doctoral thesis, 2010)Hjertesykdommer utgjør den største dødsårsaken i Europa. Hjertesvikt er endepunktet for hjertesykdommer, og det er estimert at omtrent 10 millioner mennesker har hjertesvikt i Europa. Omtrent 50% av dødsårsakene hos ... -
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. ... -
Improving Elastography using SURF Imaging for Suppression of Reverberations
(Master thesis, 2010)For some of the applications of the Second-order UltRasound Field (SURF) imaging technique, a real-time delay-estimation algorithm has been developed for estimating spatially range-varying delays in RF signals. This algorithm ... -
MRI VOLUMETRY, OLFACTION ANDCOGNITION IN PATIENTS WITH MILDCOGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT AND HEALTHYCONTROLS
(Master thesis, 2010)Background: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is an increasing problem in today’s society andplaces a great cost and burden on the affected individuals and their families, and thesociety. Thus gaining knowledge of this disease is ... -
Healthy 24- and 50 year old males improve peak oxygen consumption and stroke volume equally after 8 weeks of high intensity endurance training
(Master thesis, 2010)Background: With aging, aerobic endurance performance declines and is demonstrated by a reduction in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Although this decrease is influenced to some degree by the state of health and age, ... -
