      The diversity of OXA-48-like carbapenemases are continually expanding. In this study, we describe the dissemination and characteristics of a novel class D carbapenemase (CHDL) named OXA-436. In total, six OXA-436-producing Enterobacteriaceae isolates including Enterobacter asburiae (n=3), Citrobacter freundii (n=2) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=1) were identified in four patients in the period between ...

      <i>Escherichia coli</i> sequence type 410 (ST410) has been reported worldwide as an extraintestinal pathogen associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones, third-generation cephalosporins, and carbapenems. In the present study, we investigated national epidemiology of ST410 <i>E. coli</i> isolates from Danish patients. Furthermore, <i>E. coli</i> ST410 was investigated in a global context to provide ...
    • Lotusen vokser i gjørme: perspektiver på kommersialiseringen av amuletter og bruken av penger i den thailandske buddhismen 

      Hansen, Frank (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2013-11-06)
      Denne oppgaven er basert på et syv måneder langt feltarbeid i Thailand 2011/12. I teksten beskriver jeg empirisk produksjonsprosesser, bruk og utveksling av buddhistiske amuletter i Thailand og forklarer den kulturelle logikken som ligger til grunn for forestillingen om at disse innehar supernaturlig kraft. Hovedfokuset er imidlertid utvekslingen av disse amulettene. Jeg har argumentert for at det ...
    • On the path to healing - A qualitative longitudinal study of colorectal cancer patients’ accounts of trajectories to healing in Norway

The National Cancer Strategy (2018-2022) aims to enhance individual care and quality of life for Norwegian cancer patients. In the past decade, person-centered ...
    • Patient pathways as social drama: A qualitative study of cancer trajectories from the patient’s perspective 

      Hansen, Frank; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-11)
      <i>Purpose</i>: The number of persons living with and beyond cancer is increasing. Such persons often have complex needs that last, and change, over time. The aim of this study is to get insights of lived experience of person diagnosed with colorectal cancer and to create an understanding of cancer trajectories as a dynamic process. This study thus explores Victor Turner’s model of social drama in ...
    • “What matters to you?” A longitudinal qualitative study of Norwegian patients’ perspectives on their pathways with colorectal cancer 

      Hansen, Frank; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-12)
      <p><i>Purpose</i>: Person-centred care (PCC) is a well-acknowledged goal throughout the western world both within the health care services sector and for the patients themselves. To be able to create a future health care system that includes improved PCC, we need more in-depth knowledge of what matters to patients, how “what matters” might change over time, and tentative descriptions of commonalities ...
