Towards Differential Connectomics with NeuroVIISAS.

The comparison of connectomes is an essential step to identify changes in structural and functional neuronal networks. However, the connectomes themselves as well as the comparisons of connectomes could be manifold. In most applications, comparisons of connectomes are applied to specific sets of data.

Connectome verification: inter-rater and connection reliability of tract-tracing-based intrinsic hypothalamic connectivity.

Motivation: Structural connectomics supports understanding aspects of neuronal dynamics and brain functions. Conducting metastudies of tract-tracing publications is one option to generate connectome databases by collating neuronal connectivity data. Meanwhile, it is a common practice that the neuronal connections and their attributes of such retrospective data collations are extracted from tract-tracing publications manually by experts.

Never Quit Trying: Reengaging Tobacco Users in Statewide Cessation Services.

Context: Tobacco dependence is well established as a chronic condition typically requiring numerous quit attempts. Tobacco users are unlikely to return to the same cessation program on their own.

Objective: This program evaluation examined the effectiveness of using multiple outreach methods to reengage tobacco users in a statewide cessation program at varying time points after their initial program enrollment.

[Is the Norwegian injury register adequately representative?].

Background: A new national injury register in Norway provides injury statistics based on injuries treated at hospitals and emergency care clinics in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim. The aim of the study is to investigate whether the national register is adequately representative, by estimating the proportion of injuries in the municipality of Trondheim that are treated by regular general practitioners (GPs) in Trondheim.

Material And Methods: Eight primary care medical practices were invited to record information about injuries treated by GPs in their practice; seven practices completed the recording.

A primary health-care intervention on pre- and postnatal risk factor behavior to prevent childhood allergy. The Prevention of Allergy among Children in Trondheim (PACT) study.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a primary prevention intervention program on risk behavior for allergic diseases among children up to 2 years of age. The setting was in ordinary pre- and postnatal primary health care in Trondheim, Norway.

Methods: The Prevention of Allergy among Children in Trondheim, Norway (PACT) study invited all pregnant women and parents to children up to 2 years of age in the community to participate in a non-randomized, controlled, multiple life-style intervention study.
