Geographical area and life history traits influence diet in an Arctic marine predator
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-19)
Global changes are thought to affect most Arctic species, yet some populations are more at
risk. Today, the Barents Sea ecoregion is suffering the strongest sea ice retreat ever measured;
and these changes are suspected to modify food access and thus diet of several
species. Biochemical diet tracers enable investigation of diet in species such as polar bears
(Ursus maritimus). We examined ...
Women with coronary heart disease – making sense of their symptoms and their experiences from interacting with their general practitioners
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-01)
Cardiovascular disease and particularly coronary heart disease (CHD)
is the leading cause of death among women and men worldwide.
CHD in women, and their symptoms and treatment trajectory are
not well understood. Studies indicate gender-related differences
in symptom presentation, comorbidity, help-seeking behavior, and
the quality of diagnostics and treatment of CHD. Although the
incidence ...
Scanning acoustic microscopy—A novel noninvasive method to determine tumor interstitial fluid pressure in a xenograft tumor model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-22)
Elevated tumor interstitial fluid pressure (TIFP) is a prominent feature of solid tumors and hampers the
transmigration of therapeutic macromolecules, for example, large monoclonal antibodies, from tumor-supplying
vessels into the tumor interstitium. TIFP values of up to 40 mm Hg have been measured in experimental solid
tumors using two conventional invasive techniques: the wick-in-needle and the ...

Origin and K-Ar age of the phreatomagmatic breccia at the Trepča Pb-Zn-Ag skarn deposit, Kosovo: Implications for ore-forming processes
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-02-29)
The Trepča Pb-Zn-Ag skarn deposit in Kosovo is spatially and temporarily related to the
phreatomagmatic breccia of Oligocene age (~23Ma). The deposit shows features typical for
skarn deposits worldwide, including a stage of isochemical metamorphism, a prograde stage of
an anhydrous, low oxygen and low sulfur fugacity character, and a retrograde stage characterized
by an increase in the water ...
The relationship between ethnic classroom composition and turkish-origin and german students' reading performance and sense of belonging
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-14)
Past research on ethnic composition effects on migrant and ethnic majority students’
performance has reported inconclusive results: Some studies have found no relationship between the
proportion of migrant students in school and students’ performance, some revealed positive effects,
whereas others showed negative effects of the proportion of migrant students. Most of the studies
did not ...
Pan genome and CRISPR analyses of the bacterial fish pathogen Moritella viscosa
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-20)
Background: Winter-ulcer Moritella viscosa infections continue to be a significant burden in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) farming. M. viscosa comprises two main clusters that differ in genetic variation and phenotypes including virulence. Horizontal gene transfer through acquisition and loss of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) is a major driving force of bacterial diversification. To gain insight ...
The Association Between Adiponectin, Serum Uric Acid and Urinary Markers of Renal Damage in the General Population: Cross-Sectional Data from the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-14)
Background/Aims: Uric acid may cause renal damage, whereas adiponectin in some studies has been reported to have renoprotective properties. The renoprotective role of adiponectin under the influence of hyperuricemia has not been explored. We assessed the cross-sectional association between adiponectin, serum uric acid (SUA) and urinary biomarkers of glomerular and tubular damage (albumin-creatinine ...
Overweight modifies the longitudinal association between uric acid and some components of the metabolic syndrome: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)
Background: Elevated uric acid (UA) is associated with the presence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). In a prospective cohort study, we assessed whether baseline and longitudinal change in UA were risk factors for development of MetS and its individual components. <br>
Methods: We included 3087 women and 2996 men who had UA measured in the population based Tromsø Study 1994–95. The participants ...
Musculoskeletal complaints (pain and/or stiffness) and their impact on mortality in the general population. The Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
Background
The long-term consequences of chronic pain and/or stiffness from the musculoskeletal system (musculoskeletal complaints: MSCs) have not been well explored. The aims of this study were to investigate whether MSCs reported at baseline influence all-cause and cause-specific mortality during 21 years follow-up of a general Northern Norwegian adult population.
Methods
A total of 26,977 ...
