A Cross-Sectional Study of Peri-Implant Diseases in a Random Norwegian Population: Prevalence, Risk Indicators, and Clinical Validation of Patient-Reported Outcomes.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of peri-implant diseases in a randomly selected Norwegian population. The secondary aims were to explore risk indicators for peri-implant diseases and to validate self-reported outcome measures from a survey with clinical parameters.

Material And Methods: Patients (n = 3083) rehabilitated with dental implants in 2014 were mailed a questionnaire and invited to a clinical examination.

The influence of water turbulence on surface deformations and the gas transfer rate across an air-water interface.

We present experimental results of a study on oxygen transfer rates in a water channel facility with varying turbulence inflow conditions set by an active grid. We compare the change in gas transfer rate with different turbulence characteristics of the flow set by four different water channel and grid configurations. It was found that the change in gas transfer rate correlates best with the turbulence intensity in the vertical direction.

Nurse Anesthetist Practice Over 40 Years: A Repeated Cross-Sectional Study in Norway.

Methods: We invited 34 nursing homes to participate, and 20 leaders (59%) attended focus group interviews.

Experimental study of the mutual interactions between waves and tailored turbulence.

When surface waves interact with ambient turbulence, the two affect each other mutually. Turbulent eddies get redirected, intensified and periodically stretched and compressed, while the waves suffer directional scattering. We study these mutual interactions experimentally in the water channel laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Trondheim.

Striving for a safe ground-A lifeworld approach of family members' experiences of the critical illness trajectory.

Aims And Objectives: To explore the experiences of family members after they have lived through a close one's illness trajectory starting with critical illness and intensive care treatment, throughout hospitalisation and after their return home, and describe what was important and challenging for them during this time.

Background: Being family during and after critical illness and intensive care treatment may be traumatic and challenging. An in-depth understanding of family members' lifeworld throughout a close one's illness trajectory is needed.

Salutogenic nursing home care: Antonovsky's salutogenic health theory as a guide to wellbeing.

The nursing home (NH) population is characterized by a high symptom burden resulting from chronic illnesses and functional impairments that cannot be cured. Most long-term NH residents are in the last phase of life and in need of palliative care. Hence, health and wellbeing are important aims of salutogenic NH care, which includes more than the treatment of residents' diseases and symptoms.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to describe and evaluate the effectiveness of transition interventions to safeguard patient safety and satisfaction during patients' transition from hospital to home health care.

Design: Systematic review.

Data Sources: MEDLINE, Ovid Nursing Database, PsycINFO, EMBASE, CINAHL, Clinical Trials and SveMed+ was systematic searched in January 2019 and September 2020 to identify peer-reviewed papers.

Understanding the Course of Critical Illness Through a Lifeworld Approach.

An increasing number of individuals receive and survive intensive care treatment; however, several individuals experience problems afterward, which may threaten recovery. Grounded in a lifeworld approach, the aim of this study was to explore and describe what intensive care patients experience as limiting and strengthening throughout their illness trajectories. Ten former intensive care patients were interviewed three to eight months after hospital discharge.

The zebrafish cationic amino acid transporter/glycoprotein-associated family: sequence and spatiotemporal distribution during development of the transport system b (slc3a1/slc7a9).

System b absorbs lysine, arginine, ornithine, and cystine, as well as some (large) neutral amino acids in the mammalian kidney and intestine. It is a heteromeric amino acid transporter made of the heavy subunit SLC3A1/rBAT and the light subunit SLC7A9/bAT. Mutations in these two genes can cause cystinuria in mammals.

Genetic Dominant Variants in Segregating in Families with SCA48, Display In Vitro Functional Impairments Indistinctive from Recessive Variants Associated with SCAR16.

Variants in cause both autosomal recessive (SCAR16) and dominant (SCA48) spinocerebellar ataxia. Reports from 18 variants causing SCA48 show that the clinical picture includes later-onset ataxia with a cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome and varying clinical overlap with SCAR16. However, little is known about the molecular properties of dominant variants.

Quality of life of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care: A systematic review.

The quality of life (QoL) of women living with metastatic breast cancer and receiving palliative care needs more attention. We reviewed published studies (1992-2019) examining QoL of women receiving palliative care. The findings were interpreted according to the World Health Organization's (WHO) definition of palliative care.

Role of the Neutral Amino Acid Transporter SLC7A10 in Adipocyte Lipid Storage, Obesity, and Insulin Resistance.

Elucidation of mechanisms that govern lipid storage, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance may lead to improved therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related diseases. Here, we find that adipose expression of the small neutral amino acid transporter SLC7A10, also known as alanine-serine-cysteine transporter-1 (ASC-1), shows strong inverse correlates with visceral adiposity, insulin resistance, and adipocyte hypertrophy across multiple cohorts. Concordantly, loss of Slc7a10 function in zebrafish in vivo accelerates diet-induced body weight gain and adipocyte enlargement.

"Finding oneself after critical illness": voices from the remission society.

The number of people who survive critical illness is increasing. In parallel, a growing body of literature reveals a broad range of side-effects following intensive care treatment. Today, more attention is needed to improve the quality of survival.

Sequence analysis and spatiotemporal developmental distribution of the Cat-1-type transporter slc7a1a in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Cationic amino acid transporter 1 (Cat-1 alias Slc7a1) is a Na-independent carrier system involved in transport and absorption of the cationic amino acids lysine, arginine, histidine, and ornithine and has also been shown to be indispensable in a large variety of biological processes. Starting from isolated full-length zebrafish (Danio rerio) cDNA for slc7a1a, we performed comparative and phylogenetic sequence analysis, investigated the conservation of the gene during vertebrate evolution, and defined tissue expression during zebrafish development. Whole mount in situ hybridization first detected slc7a1a transcripts in somites, eyes, and brain at 14 h post-fertilization (hpf) with additional expression in the distal nephron at 24 hpf and in branchial arches at 3 days post-fertilization (dpf), with significant increase by 5 dpf.

Patients' quest for recognition and continuity in health care: time for a new research agenda?

User involvement is important in democratization of health care and is assumed to contribute to better and more relevant research. Despite increased requirements for user involvement in research, more studies are still needed. This study aimed at exploring what research agenda people with varied health problems consider as important, based on their own experience.

Associations Between Behavioral Effects of Bisphenol A and DNA Methylation in Zebrafish Embryos.

Endocrine-disrupting contaminants have been associated with aberrant changes in epigenetic pathways in animals. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed bisphenol A (BPA) to search for associations between behavior and epigenetic mechanisms in fish. For concentration-dependent responses, embryos were exposed to a range of BPA concentrations (0.

"I Have Both Lost and Gained." Norwegian Survivors' Experiences of Coping 9 Years After Primary Breast Cancer Surgery.

Background: Increased breast cancer survival means that many women live with long-term consequences of their cancer and treatment. Knowledge about their coping is important.

Objective: This qualitative follow-up study describes survivors' coping experiences 9 years after primary breast cancer surgery.

Adding smoking to the Fardal model of cost-effectiveness for the lifetime treatment of periodontal diseases.

Background: Little is known about the financial costs that smoking adds to the lifetime treatment of periodontal disease.

Methods: The total lifetime cost of periodontal treatment was modeled using data from private periodontal practice. The costs of initial and supportive therapy, re-treatment and tooth replacements (with bridgework or implants) were identified using average dental charges from the American Dental Association survey.

Alteration of the magnetosphere of the Vela pulsar during a glitch.

As pulsars lose energy, primarily in the form of magnetic dipole radiation, their rotation slows down accordingly. For some pulsars, this spin-down is interrupted by occasional abrupt spin-up events known as glitches . A glitch is hypothesized to be a catastrophic release of pinned vorticity that provides an exchange of angular momentum between the superfluid outer core and the crust.

The nurse's role in palliative care: A qualitative meta-synthesis.

Aims And Objectives: To explore how nurses, across various health systems, describe their role in providing palliative care for patients with life-threatening illnesses.

Background: Despite the fact that nurses make up the largest group of healthcare professionals, little is known about their role in palliative care, across health services.

Design: A qualitative systematic review of studies.

Methylmercury Induced Neurotoxicity and the Influence of Selenium in the Brains of Adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio).

The neurotoxicity of methylmercury (MeHg) is well characterised, and the ameliorating effects of selenium have been described. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms behind this contaminant-nutrient interaction. We investigated the influence of selenium (as selenomethionine, SeMet) and MeHg on mercury accumulation and protein expression in the brain of adult zebrafish ().
