Rationale for the ASSAIL-MI-trial: a randomised controlled trial designed to assess the effect of tocilizumab on myocardial salvage in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Introduction Interleukin-6 (IL-6) may be involved in ischaemia-reperfusion injury and myocardial remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). We have recently shown that IL-6 inhibition by tocilizumab attenuates systemic ... -
Influenza and associated co-infections in critically ill immunosuppressed patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background It is unclear whether influenza infection and associated co-infection are associated with patient-important outcomes in critically ill immunocompromised patients with acute respiratory failure. Methods Preplanned ... -
Left ventricular global strains by linear measurements in three dimensions: interrelations and relations to age, gender and body size in the HUNT Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Strain is a relative deformation and has three dimensions, in the left ventricle (LV) usually longitudinal (εL), transmural (εT) and circumferential (εC) strain. All three components can be measured generically by the basic ... -
Gene signatures ESC, MYC and ERG-fusion are early markers of a potentially dangerous subtype of prostate cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background Good prognostic tools for predicting disease progression in early stage prostate cancer (PCa) are still missing. Detection of molecular subtypes, for instance by using microarray gene technology, can give new ... -
Coronary artery occlusions diagnosed by transthoracic Doppler
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background Our aim was to assess whether anterograde flow velocities in septal perforating branches could identify an occluded contralateral coronary artery, and to assess the feasibility and accuracy of diagnosing ... -
Arterial Stiffening Provides Sufficient Explanation for Primary Hypertension
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Hypertension is one of the most common age-related chronic disorders, and by predisposing individuals for heart failure, stroke, and kidney disease, it is a major source of morbidity and mortality. Its etiology remains ... -
Reliability of the Woods and Teuber scale; classification of mirror movements in children and adolescents with unilateral cerebral palsy
(Master thesis, 2019)Sammendrag Bakgrunn: Woods and Teuber skalaen (W&T) har i de siste 40 årene vært et av de få verktøyene som brukes til å klassifisere speilbevegelser (MMs) hos barn og ungdom med ensidig cerebral parese (UCP) i klinisk ... -
Five-year results of endovascular aortic repair used according to instructions for use give a good general outcome for abdominal aortic aneurysm
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the rate of sac enlargement and secondary procedures after 5 years when instructions for use are strictly applied with endovascular aortic repair. The secondary ... -
Animal study assessing safety of an acoustic coupling fluid that holds the potential to avoid surgically induced artifacts in 3D ultrasound guided operations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background Use of ultrasound in brain tumor surgery is common. The difference in attenuation between brain and isotonic saline may cause artifacts that degrade the ultrasound images, potentially affecting resection grades ... -
Combining Automatic Angle Correction and 3-D Tracking Doppler for the Assessment of Aortic Stenosis Severity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which causes increased load on the left ventricle. Untreated, this condition can eventually lead to heart failure and death. According to current ... -
Metabolic characterization of triple negative breast cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background The aims of this study were to characterize the metabolite profiles of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and to investigate the metabolite profiles associated with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2/neu ... -
Effects of exercise training on pulmonary vessel muscularization and right ventricular function in an animal model of COPD
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background Right ventricular dysfunction in COPD is common, even in the absence of pulmonary hypertension. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on right ... -
Copenhagen study of overweight patients with coronary artery disease undergoing low energy diet or interval training: the randomized CUT-IT trial protocol
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is accountable for more than 7 million deaths each year according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In a European population 80% of patients diagnosed with CAD are overweight ... -
2-hydroxyglutarate as a magnetic resonance biomarker for glioma subtyping
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Mutations in the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) genes are frequently found in gliomas and in a fraction of acute myeloid leukemia patients. This results in the production of an oncometabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). ... -
Changes in physical activity and related functional and disability levels in the first six months after stroke: A longitudinal follow-up study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Objective: To investigate how physical activity changes over the first 6 months after stroke, and how activity is related to function. Design: A longitudinal study with an initial assessment within 14 days after stroke ... -
