    • Increased Systemic and Local Interleukin 9 Levels in Patients with Carotid and Coronary Atherosclerosis 

      Gregersen, Ida; Skjelland, Mona; Holm, Sverre; Holven, Kirsten Bjørklund; Sørensen, Kirsten; Russell, David; Askevold, Erik Tandberg; Dahl, Christen Peder; Ørn, Stein; Gullestad, Lars; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Halvorsen, Bente (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Objective: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that involves a range of inflammatory mediators. Although interleukin (IL)-9 has been related to inflammation, there are at present no data on its role in atherosclerosis. Here we have examined IL-9 and IL-9 receptor (IL-9R) systemically and locally in patients with coronary and carotid atherosclerosis. Methods: Plasma IL-9 was quantified ...

    • Probability mapping of scarred myocardium using texture and intensity features in CMR images 

      Kotu, Lasya Priya; Engan, Kjersti; Skretting, Karl; Måløy, Frode; Ørn, Stein; Woie, Leik; Eftestøl, Trygve (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The myocardium exhibits heterogeneous nature due to scarring after Myocardial Infarction (MI). In Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging, Late Gadolinium (LG) contrast agent enhances the intensity of scarred area in the myocardium. In this paper, we propose a probability mapping technique using Texture and Intensity features to describe heterogeneous nature of the scarred myocardium in Cardiac ...
