High Arctic plant phenology is determined by snowmelt patterns but duration of phenological periods is fixed: an example of periodicity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-29)
The duration of specific periods within a plant’s life cycle are critical for plant growth and
performance. In the High Arctic, the start of many of these phenological periods is determined by
snowmelt date, which may change in a changing climate. It has been suggested that the end of these
periods during late-season are triggered by external cues, such as day length, light quality or
temperature, ...
Static and functional hemodynamic profiles of women with abnormal uterine artery doppler at 22-24 weeks of gestation
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016)
Objective
To compare cardiac function, systemic hemodynamics and preload reserve of women with increased (cases) and normal (controls) uterine artery (UtA) pulsatility index (PI) at 22–24 weeks of gestation.
Materials and Methods
A prospective cross-sectional study of 620 pregnant women. UtA blood flow velocities were measured using Doppler ultrasonography, and PI was calculated. Mean UtA ...
Dispatch guideline adherence and response interval-a study of emergency medical calls in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-13)
Background:<br>
The Emergency Medical Communication Centre (EMCC) operators in Norway report using the Norwegian Index for Medical Emergency Assistance (Index), a criteria-based dispatch guideline, in about 75 % of medical emergency calls. The main purpose of a dispatch guideline is to assist the operator in securing a correct response as quickly as possible. The effect of using the guideline on ...
Ambulance helicopter contribution to search and rescue in North Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-09-13)
Background:
Search and rescue (SAR) operations constitute a significant proportion of Norwegian ambulance helicopter missions, and they may limit the service’s capacity for medical operations. We compared the relative contribution of the different helicopter resources using a common definition of SAR-operation in order to investigate how the SAR workload had changed over the last years.
Methods:
We ...
Does the Incredible Years Teacher Classroom Management Training programme have positive effects for young children exhibiting severe externalizing problems in school?: A quasi-experimental pre-post study.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-10-26)
<b>Background:</b> Young children exhibiting severe externalizing problems in school are at risk of developing several poor
outcomes. School-based intervention programs have been found to be effective for students with different problems,
including those with behavioral problems, emotional distress, or social problems. The present study investigated
whether the IY-TCM programme, as a universal ...
Good-bye to tropical alpine plant giants under warmer climates? Loss of range and genetic diversity in Lobelia rhynchopetalum
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-11-25)
The main aim of this paper is to address consequences of climate warming on loss of
habitat and genetic diversity in the enigmatic tropical alpine giant rosette plants using
the Ethiopian endemic Lobelia rhynchopetalum as a model. We modeled the habitat
suitability of L. rhynchopetalum and assessed how its range is affected under two climate
models and four emission scenarios. We used three ...
Amplitude and size scaling for interchange motions of plasma filaments
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-07)
The interchange dynamics and velocity scaling of blob-like plasma filaments are investigated using
a two-field reduced fluid model. For incompressible flows due to buoyancy, the maximum velocity
is proportional to the square root of the relative amplitude and the square root of its cross-field size.
For compressible flows in a non-uniform magnetic field, this square root scaling only holds ...
Usher syndrome in Denmark: mutation Spectrum and some clinical observations
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-12)
Background:<br>
Usher syndrome (USH) is a genetically heterogeneous deafness-blindness syndrome,
divided into three clinical subtypes: USH1, USH2 and USH3.<br>
Methods:<br>
Mutations in 21 out of 26 investigated Danish unrelated individuals with USH
were identified, using a combination of molecular diagnostic methods.<br>
Results:<br>
Before Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) became available ...
Persistent Organic Pollutants and the Association with Maternal and Infant Thyroid Homeostasis: A Multipollutant Assessment
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01)
Background:<br>Disruption of thyroid homeostasis has been indicated in human studies targeting
effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Influence on the maternal thyroid system by POPs
is of special interest during pregnancy because such effects could impair infant thyroid homeostasis.<br>
Objectives:<br>We investigated the association between POPs and thyroid-stimulating hormone
(TSH) ...
Pain tolerance in persons with recognized and unrecognized myocardial infarction: a population-based, cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-21)
<b>Background</b> Unrecognized myocardial infarction (MI) is a prevalent condition associated with a similar risk of death as recognized MI. It is unknown why some persons experience MI with few or no symptoms; however, one possible explanation is attenuated pain sensitivity. To our knowledge, no previous study has examined the association between pain sensitivity and recognition of MI.
<b>Methods ...
