Data acquisition for high resolution blood oxygen level dependent fMRI
(Doctoral theses at NTNU;2018:75, Doctoral thesis, 2018)Blood oxygen level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) is an important non-invasive technique for investigation of brain function. Using BOLD fMRI, brain activity can be localized with high spatial ... -
Deadly diving? Physiological and behavioural management of decompression stress in diving mammals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Decompression sickness (DCS; ‘the bends’) is a disease associated with gas uptake at pressure. The basic pathology and cause are relatively well known to human divers. Breath-hold diving marine mammals were thought to be ... -
Decidual and placental NOD1 is associated with inflammation in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction: Inflammation is a normal physiological process that increases to harmful levels in preeclampsia. It affects the interaction between maternal immune cells and fetal trophoblasts at both sites of the maternal-fetal ... -
Defining the cut-off point of clinically significant postoperative fatigue in three common fatigue scales
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose Postoperative fatigue (POF) is an often underestimated problem after surgery. Studies on POF often report fatigue scores without relating this to the clinical relevance for the patients. The aim of this study was ... -
Deletion of Kinin B2 receptor alters muscle metabolism and exercise performance
(Journal article, 2015)Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of metabolic risk factors such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondria is the main site of ATP production and its dysfunction leads to decreased oxidative phosphorylation, ... -
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 ... -
Design of a study evaluating the effects, health economics, and stakeholder perspectives of a multi-component occupational rehabilitation program with an added workplace intervention - A study protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background Recent research has suggested that interventions at the workplace might be the most potent ingredient in return to work interventions, but few studies have investigated the different effects of workplace ... -
Design, Fabrication and Testing Highly Sensitive Single Element Doppler Transducers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Three common piezoelectric materials have been studied for use in pulsed wave Doppler ultrasound, where high sensitivity is required, while bandwidth is less important. A large transducer aperture, 80 mm 2 , results in a ... -
Detailed flow visualization in fetal and neonatal hearts using 2-D speckle tracking
(Journal article, 2016)Two-dimensional blood speckle tracking has shown promise for measuring the complex flow patterns in neonatal hearts when based on linear array and high-frame-rate plane wave imaging. For phased array pediatric imaging, ... -
Detection and differentiation of breast cancer sub-types using a cPLA2a activatable fluorophore
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Cytosolic phospholipase A2α (cPLA2α) has been shown to be elevated in breast cancer and is a potential biomarker in the differentiation of molecular sub-types. Using a cPLA2α activatable fluorophore, DDAO arachidonate, we ... -
Deteksjon og karakterisering av lymfeknuter ved lungekreft: En pilotstudie
(Bachelor thesis, 2019)Lungekreft er i dag den enkeltstående kreftformen som tar livet av flest mennesker i Norge. Årsaken til at så få overlever er at lungekreft oppdages sent og det er lite kunnskap om maligne lymfeknuter i lungehilii og ... -
Detektion af Rygmarvslæsioner ved Multipel Sklerose. Sammenligning af Magnetisk Resonans Vægtninger
(Master thesis, 2019)Adskillige typer for magnetisk resonans billedvægtninger er anbefalet til den bedst mulige fremstilling af multipel sklerose læsioner i rygmarven. Den diagnostiske virkningsfuldhed varierer mellem dem, grundet forskelle i ... -
Developing quality indicators for physician-staffed emergency medical services: a consensus process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background There is increasing interest for quality measurement in health care services; pre-hospital emergency medical services (EMS) included. However, attempts of measuring the quality of physician-staffed EMS (P-EMS) ... -
