In the ProPEL study the effect of a protocol designed for elderly patients about to undergo emergency abdominal surgery will be investigated. The protocol addresses issues of both frailty and ceiling-of -care decisions.
Patients with left bundle branch block have an increased risk for the development of heart-failure and death. However, risk factors for unfavorable outcomes are still poorly defined. This study aims to identify echocardiographic parameters and ECG characteristics by machine learning in order to develop individual risk assessment
Behavioral disturbances are often seen in children after anesthesia both immediately after surgery (emergence delirium) and after discharge from hospital. Persisting behavioral changes may affect emotional and cognitive development. It is known that both type of surgery and anesthetic management affect the occurrence of behavioral disturbances. Specifically, differences in occurrence were found after sevoflurane anesthesia and propofol anesthesia, two anesthetics that are generally used in practice. However, evidence is based on methodologically weak studies. The described occurrence of behavioral disturbances in children after anesthesia is not in line with the investigators' clinical experience, and neither are the described differences in occurrence between sevoflurane anesthesia and propofol anesthesia. This study will compare emergence delirium and behavioral changes after discharge from hospital in children who had surgery for removal of their tonsils under sevoflurane anesthesia versus propofol anesthesia.
This study is being done to find out how often endometrial cancer recurs after the standard treatment as well as how often the standard treatment results in a lymphedema.
Sleep disturbance is recognized as a major problem for patients with psychosis and is seen in nearly all patients admitted in acute crisis to a psychiatric hospital. Cognitive behavioral treatment is recommended as first-line treatment for insomnia in national and international guidelines. This study explores effect of adapting the milieu therapy to comply with the principles of CBT for insomnia.

This study investigates whether bread with added galactomannan, a soluble fiber, can reduce the postprandial glucose response in healthy overweight adults.
Patients with substance use disorders have low employment rates and are to a large extent on the outside of the ordinary labor market. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence based method developed to aid persons with severe mental disorders in obtaining ordinary work. IPS has been used clinically in the addiction field, but has been subject to little research. The trial "From addiction to employment" is a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effect of an IPS intervention on employment outcome among substance use disorder patients in specialized health care treatment in Oslo, Norway. The study is conducted at the Department for Substance Use Disorder Treatment at Oslo University Hospital. The trial begins to include patients March 1st 2020 and will include for two years, until February 28th 2022.
To investigate and make valid estimates of the occurrence of dementia and the most common subtypes of dementia in Trøndelag, and transfer these figures to estimates of the occurrence of dementia in Norway as a whole, by age, sex and severity of dementia. Furthermore, the proportion of people without dementia diagnosis among those with dementia will be examined. The investigators will further investigate whether there are differences in dementia prevalence between males and females and educational groups and look at factors associated with a lack of diagnosis.
