Exogenous miR-451a prevents MMP-9 upregulation in cardiac hypertrophy
(Master thesis, 2016)Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) degrades extracellular matrix and is increased in several cardiac pathologies. Recently microRNA (miR)-451a has been found to inhibit the expression of MMP-9 in human malignancies. However, ... -
Expiratory airflow in late adolescence and early adulthood in individuals born very preterm or with very low birthweight compared with controls born at term or with normal birthweight: a meta-analysis of individual participant data.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Maximal expiratory airflow peaks early in the third decade of life, then gradually declines with age. The pattern of airflow through adulthood for individuals born very preterm (at <32 weeks’ gestation) or ... -
Explaining sex differences in risk of bloodstream infections using mediation analysis in the population-based HUNT study in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Previous studies indicate sex differences in incidence and severity of bloodstream infections (BSI). We examined the effect of sex on risk of BSI, BSI mortality, and BSI caused by the most common infecting bacteria. Using ... -
Exploring the diagnostic potential of adding T2 dependence in diffusion-weighted MR imaging of the prostate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential in the detection and staging of prostate cancer. However, improved tools to distinguish between low-risk and high-risk cancer are needed in order to select the ... -
Exploring the Relationship Between Match-related Physical Performance and Injury – Could Modern Match Analysis Contribute in Injury Prevention?
(Master thesis, 2014)Injury rates are high in modern soccer, and studies have shown that physical performance declines progressively throughout a soccer match, indicating development of fatigue. This gives reason to explore an association ... -
Exploring use of activity monitors for patients with obesity during weight-loss treatment - a qualitative study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Obesity is a major health concern in western countries. In Norway, patients with obesity can attend weight-loss programmes, which focus on changes in dietary and physical activity habits. Use of self-monitoring ... -
Express Team-Based Learning (eTBL): A Time-Efficient TBL Approach in Neuroradiology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Rationale and Objectives Team-based learning (TBL) is a student-centred, teacher-directed instructional method that promotes active learning. The application phase of TBL stimulates group discussion and critical thinking, ... -
Extensive simulated diving aggravates endothelial dysfunction in male pro-atherosclerotic ApoE knockout rats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Introduction: The average age of the diving population is rising, and the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in divers are accordingly increasing. It is an open question whether this risk is altered by ... -
Facilitators and Barriers to the Implementation of EMOTION: An Indicated Intervention for Young Schoolchildren
(Journal article, 2019)Research on implementation of school-based transdiagnostic interventions, conducted by personnel from the municipal services is limited. We investigated facilitators and barriers regarding implementation of EMOTION, an ... -
Factors Affecting the Course of Resuscitation From Cardiac Arrest With Pulseless Electrical Activity in Children and Adolescents
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Although in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrests and cardiopulmonary resuscitation occur >15,000/year in the US, few studies have assessed which factors affect the course of resuscitation in these patients. We ... -
Factors Influencing Running Velocity at Lactate Threshold in Male and Female Runners at Different Levels of Performance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: The primary aim was to examine the relationship between lactate threshold (LT) expressed as percentage of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and running velocity at LT (LTV). A secondary aim was to investigate to ... -
Fast food increases postprandial cardiac workload in type 2 diabetes independent of pre-exercise: A pilot study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Type 2 diabetes aggravates the postprandial metabolic effects of food, which increase cardiovascular risk. We investigated the acute effects of fast food on postprandial left ventricular (LV) function and the ... -
Fast hyperbaric decompression after heliox saturation altered the brain proteome in rats
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Better understanding of the physiological mechanisms and neurological symptoms involved in the development of decompression sickness could contribute to improvements of diving procedures. The main objective of the present ... -
A fast semi-analytical method for propagating leaky Lamb wavefields
(Chapter, 2021)A fast method is presented for calculating the wavefields from initialized leaky Lamb waves on plates immersed in sufficiently light fluids. The method works by precomputing the dispersion relation and attenuation, and ... -
FastPathology: An open-source platform for deep learning-based research and decision support in digital pathology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are the current state-of-the-art for digital analysis of histopathological images. The large size of whole-slide microscopy images (WSIs) requires advanced memory handling to read, ... -
