Sensitivity and specificity of Norwegian optometrists' evaluation of diabetic retinopathy in single-field retinal images - a cross-sectional experimental study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Background In the working age group, diabetic retinopathy is a leading cause of visual impairment. Regular eye examinations and early treatment of retinopathy can prevent visual loss, so screening for diabetic retinopathy ... -
Sex differences and tumor blood flow from dynamic susceptibility contrast MRI are associated with treatment response after chemoradiation and long-term survival in rectal cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sex differences, tumor vascularity, and blood flow seen on multiecho dynamic contrast–based MRI scans enabled prediction of treatment response and overall survival in patients with rectal cancer. Background: MRI is the ... -
Single-cone imaging in inherited and acquired colour vision deficiencies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Colour vision deficiencies are common in humans and occur both as a consequence of inherited cone opsin mutations, altering the number or function of the different cone types expressed in the retina, and acquired through ... -
Skill acquisition as a function of age, hand and task difficulty: Interactions between cognition and action
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Some activities can be meaningfully dichotomised as ‘cognitive’ or ‘sensorimotor’ in nature— but many cannot. This has radical implications for understanding activity limitation in disability. For example, older adults ... -
Stem cell function is conserved during shortterm storage of cultured epidermal cell sheets at 12°C
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Transplantation of cultured epidermal cell sheets (CES) can be life-saving for patients with large area burns. CES have also been successfully used to regenerate eye and urethral epithelia in animal models. Short-term ... -
Suprathreshold contrast response in normal and anomalous trichromats
(Journal article, 2020)Maximum likelihood difference scaling was used to measure suprathreshold contrast response difference scales for low-frequency Gabor patterns, modulated along luminance and L–M color directions in normal, protanomalous, ... -
Survey of referrals and medical reports in optometric practices in Norway: Midterm findings from a 3-year prospective internet-based study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Purpose: The increasing demand for primary eye care due to an aging population implicates an enhanced role of optometrists in the communities. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the rate of referrals ... -
