Maximal strength training in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease: implications for physical function and quality of life
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Purpose: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease (IRD) have attenuated muscle strength in the lower extremities, resulting in impaired physical function and quality of life. Although maximal strength training (MST), ... -
Maximal strength training with chronic stroke patients
(Master thesis, 2010)Regaining muscle strength is an essential part of rehabilitation post-stroke. This study aimed to demonstrate that maximal strength training (MST) improves muscle strength, which transfers into improvements in functional ... -
Maximal strength training-induced improvements in forearm work efficiency are associated with reduced blood flow
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Maximal strength training (MST) improves work efficiency. However, since blood flow is greatly dictated by muscle contractions in arms during exercise, and vascular conductance is lower, it has been indicated that arms ... -
Maximal strength training-induced increase in efferent neural drive is not reflected in relative protein expression of SERCA
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction Maximal strength training (MST), performed with heavy loads (~ 90% of one repetition maximum; 1RM) and few repetitions, yields large improvements in efferent neural drive, skeletal muscle force production, and ... -
Maximum velocity estimation in coronary arteries using 3D tracking Doppler
(Journal article, 2018)Several challenges currently prevent the use of Doppler echocardiography to assess blood flow in the coronary arteries. Due to the anatomy of the coronary tree, out-of-plane flow and high beam-to-flow angles easily occur. ... -
Måling av stråledoser til hender på ortopeder ved kirurgi
(Bachelor thesis, 2020)Hvert år utføres det mange ortopediske operasjoner. Ved slike operasjoner benyttes det C-buer med veiledende røntgenstråling. Røntgenstrålingen som anvendes medfører stokastiske- og potensielt deterministiske stråleeffekter ... -
Meaning making for psychological adjustment and quality of life in older long-term breast cancer survivors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
Meaning-making: A underestimated resource for health? a discussion of the value of meaning-making in the conservation and restoration of health and well-being
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This article discusses the function, development and maintenance of meaning and the importance of meaning-making from different perspectives, as it is based on a collaboration between professionals from health science and ... -
Meaningful everyday life projects and activities in breast cancer survivors.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The time-geographic diary, supplemented by interviews, is presented in this study as a useful method to demonstrate that desirable everyday life projects, with associated activities, may positively influence an individual’s ... -
Measurement of health-related quality of life during chemotherapy -the importance of timing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background: Side effects of chemotherapy may occur at different time-points in the treatment cycle, and the exact assessment time relative to chemotherapy may affect HRQoL scores. The current study examined the variation ... -
Mechanical wave velocities in left ventricular walls – in healthy subjects and patients with aortic stenosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background Mechanical wave velocity (MWV) measurement is a promising method for evaluating myocardial stiffness, because these velocities are higher in patients with myocardial disease. Objectives Using high frame ... -
Mechanisms in the Pathophysiology of Diving: Bubble Formation and Cardiovascular Effects of Simulated Diving, Exercise-Induced Muscle Injury and Hyperbaric Oxygen Preconditioning
(Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2014:81, Doctoral thesis, 2014)Currently, there are millions of recreational divers and underwater workers worldwide. Although humans cannot live naturally underwater, certain physiological mechanisms can adapt the human body so that it may explore the ... -
Mediastinal lymph nodes segmentation using 3D convolutional neural network ensembles and anatomical priors guiding
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)As lung cancer evolves, the presence of potentially malignant lymph nodes must be assessed to properly estimate disease progression and select the best treatment strategy. A method for accurate and automatic segmentation ... -
Medical complexity and time to lung cancer treatment - A three-year retrospective chart review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Background The time from a referral for suspected lung cancer is received at a hospital until treatment start has been defined as a quality indicator. Current Norwegian recommendation is that ≥70% should start surgery or ... -
Medisinsk fullskala simulering som undervisningsmetode for sykepleiere som håndterer kritisk syke pasienter: En randomisert kontrollert studie
(Master thesis, 2009)Background: Severe sepsis and septic shock contribute to the high mortality in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Standardized guidelines and good Non-Technical Skills (NTS), as team working and situation awareness, are elements ... -
Melatonin treatment for neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury: Translational barriers and how to break them
