Filter by:The socioeconomic gradient in health is well known and is partially explained by differences in health-related behaviours across socioeconomic groups. There is reason to believe that the current economic crisis has been contributing to the observed rapid decrease in the adherence to the Mediterranean diet, thus reducing a protective factor against the development of major chronic diseases. This project aims at investigating whether the economic crisis could account for the shifting from the Mediterranean diet. Additionally, it will address variations in inflammation biomarkers (possibly dietary-related) or metabolic phenotypes as useful biological accounts for the decline in the adherence to Mediterranean diet. This project will also test whether for economically weakest people cultural resources could somehow attenuate the impact of material circumstances on lifestyle changes attributable to the economic crisis.
Demonstrate and compare the 3D morphology of the bladder wall in full and drained states with 2 different kinds of bladder catheters in place. (Foley Catheter vs. Cystosure Catheter)
The study aims to investigate the effect of Permethrin 5% treatment on Signs and symptoms of Demodex-blepharitis in comparison to Synthomycine 5% and Fucithalmic (fusidic acid 1%) .
The main goal of this project is to evaluate the effect of immunosuppression in the weight loss and in the metabolic status of patients after liver transplantation. It is also the purpose of this project to investigate why patients become overweight and obese after liver transplantation.
The investigators will evaluate the detection of cardiac sarcoidosis or inflammation using 18F-FSPG PET/MRI (or PET/CT for participants with metal implants).
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the effects of a Single and Double Dose of Fermented Dairy Beverage on immune health and inflammatory status in healthy adults undergoing stressful exercise.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well exercise intervention works in targeting adiposity and inflammation with movement to improve prognosis in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Different types of exercise may reduce inflammation in fat tissue and minimize the risk of cancer recurrence related to being overweight or obese.
Athletes, especially in endurance sports, are at increased risk of oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases and injuries. The production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS) and inflammatory markers increase during exercise and especially during altitude training. Antioxidant supplementation is commonly used among athletes in the belief that it prevents oxidative stress and oxidative damage. A transient increase of RONS is however necessary to activate signaling cascades initiating training adaptation. Antioxidant supplementation has been shown to inhibit the exercise effects in several independent studies, possibly by interfering/reducing the signal cascades initiated by RONS. However, it is unknown whether a high intake of antioxidant rich foods can affect the amount of RONS, inflammation markers and/or training adaptation. The investigators want to examine whether an increased intake of natural antioxidants in the form of antioxidant-rich foods fruits, vegetables and berries, in line with the official Norwegian dietary advice can affect antioxidant status, immune function and training adaptation associated with altitude training in Norwegian elite athletes.
Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes significant morbidity and is now known to be associated with cardiovascular disease. Research such as this will add to the understanding of the skin as a contributor to systemic inflammation, and it is important to clarify whether skin-only treatment can alleviate systemic inflammation, and potentially influence cardiovascular risk factors.
The Nor-Hand study is a hospital-based observational study including 300 patients with evidence of hand OA by ultrasound and/or clinical examination. The baseline examination (2016-17) consists of functional tests and joint assessment of the hands, medical assessment, pain sensitization tests, ultrasound (hands, acromioclavicular joint, hips, knees and feet), computer tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the dominant hand, conventional radiographs of the hands and feet, fluorescence optical imaging of the hands, collection of blood and urine samples as well as self-reported demographic factors and OA-related questionnaires. Two follow-up examinations are planned after 3 (2019-20) and 8 years (2024-25), respectively. Cross-sectional analyses will be used to investigate agreements and associations between different relevant measures at the baseline examination, whereas the longitudinal data will be used for evaluation of predictors for clinical outcomes and disease progression.
