    • Anal Sphincter Length as Determined by 3-Dimensional Endoanal Ultrasound and Anal Manometry: A Study in Healthy Nulliparous Women 

      Norderval, Stig; Pedersen, Torunn; Collinson, Rowan J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-23)
      <i>Objectives</i> - The normal female external anal sphincter (EAS) is shorter anteriorly than laterally and posteriorly. Furthermore, the thickness of the very proximal part of the circular EAS is thinner than 50% of the lateral and posterior EAS thickness. The extent of these features is not fully explored. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the normal anal sphincter with 3‐dimensional ...

    • Blodlipider og ferritin blant ungdomsskoleelever i Finnmark 

      Pedersen, Torunn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-09-14)
      Jeg undersøker lipid- og ferritinnivåene blant ungdomsskoleelever, 13-14 år, i Kirkenes, Øst-Finnmark, og sammenlikner med tidligere funn i samme fylke, som har høy mortalitet av hjerte- og karsykdommer, samt høyt kolesterolnivå. Oppgaven tar sikte på å undersøke om nivået av disse variablene har endret seg over en periode på 15-20 år, i tråd med kolesterolnivået blant voksne i Finnmark. Det gjøres ...

    • Carbapenem resistance determinants acquired through novel chromosomal integrations in extensively drug-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa 

      Janice, Jessin; Agyepong, Nicholas; Owusu-Ofori, Alex; Govinden, Usha; Essack, Sabiha; Samuelsen, Ørjan; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Pedersen, Torunn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-17)
      Two novel bla<sub>DIM-1</sub>- or bla<SUB>IMP-1</SUB>-containing genomic islands (GIs) were discovered by whole-genome sequence analyses in four extensively drug-resistant (XDR) <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> isolates from inpatients at a tertiary hospital in Ghana. The strains were of sequence type 234 (ST234) and formed a phylogenetic clade together with ST111, which is recognized as a global ...

    • ICESluvan, a 94-Kilobase Mosaic Integrative Conjugative Element Conferring Interspecies Transfer of VanB-Type Glycopeptide Resistance, a Novel Bacitracin Resistance Locus, and a Toxin- Antitoxin Stabilization System 

      Bjørkeng, Eva katrin; Hjerde, Erik; Pedersen, Torunn; Sundsfjord, Arnfinn; Hegstad, Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      A 94-kb integrative conjugative element (ICESluvan) transferable to Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis from an animal isolate of Streptococcus lutetiensis consists of a mosaic of genetic fragments from different Gram-positive bacteria. A variant of ICESluvan was confirmed in S. lutetiensis from a patient. A complete Tn5382/Tn1549 with a vanB2 operon is integrated into a streptococcal ...
