Colonoscopy without sedation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2000) -
Med åpent blikk utenfor egen institusjon
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2001)Even in a country like Norway, with a poor reputation for investment in medical research, some studies may materialise against all odds. This is the story about the difficult start and first few years of flexible sigmoidoscopy ... -
Use of a disposable sheath system for flexible sigmoidoscopy in decentralized colorectal cancer screening
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)Background and Study Aims: To prevent transmission of infectious agents and to reduce instrument reprocessing time, the use of disposable sheath systems instead of conventionally reprocessed endoscopes has been promoted ... -
Examination of nervous system effects and other health effects in tunnel workers exposed to acrylamide and N-methylolacrylamide in Romeriksporten, Norway
(Research report, 2002)OBJECTIVES: This study examined nervous system effects and other health effects in tunnel workers exposed to acrylamide and N-methylolacrylamide during tunnel work. METHODS: Symptoms and nerve conduction properties were ... -
Re: Baseline findings of the Italian multicenter randomized controlled trial of "once-only sigmoidoscopy"--SCORE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003) -
Air and carbon dioxide volumes insufflated during colonoscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003)BACKGROUND: During colonoscopy, air or carbon dioxide is insufflated to secure adequate visualization of the colon, and endoscopy trainees are reminded to use as little gas as possible to avoid patient discomfort. However, ... -
Quality control in colorectal cancer screening: systematic microbiological investigation of endoscopes used in the NORCCAP (Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Prevention) trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2003-06-13)BACKGROUND: Endoscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is currently implemented in many countries. Since endoscopes cannot be sterilised, the transmission of infectious agents through endoscopes has been a matter of ... -
Testing for faecal calprotectin (PhiCal) in the Norwegian Colorectal Cancer Prevention trial on flexible sigmoidoscopy screening: comparison with an immunochemical test for occult blood (FlexSure OBT)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004)BACKGROUND: Screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) using guaiac based faecal occult blood tests (FOBT) has an estimated programme sensitivity of >60% but <30% for strictly asymptomatic CRC in a single screening round. In ... -
CRC screening: review of the evidence and suggestions on when and how to move on from randomized trials to screening programmes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2004) -
Screening for colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common cancer in the Nordic countries after breast and prostate cancer. About 15 000 new cancers are diagnosed and more than 7 000 patients will die from CRC in 2005. CRC fulfils most ... -
GPX Pro198Leu and OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms and risk of development of colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Little is known about genetic risk factors for colorectal cancer. We assessed the association between polymorphisms in two genes involved in DNA repair of oxidative stress, GPX and OGG1, and risk of colorectal carcinoma ... -
Evaluation of a novel colonoscope designed for easier passage of flexures : a randomised study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2005)Background and Study Aims: A new colonoscope (XCF-Q160AW prototype, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) has been developed, designed with an additional passive bending function to ease intubation through the left colonic flexure. In ... -
Brystsmerter hos ung kvinne med "normale" koronarkar
(Journal article, 2006) -
Impact of a colonoscopic screening examination for colorectal cancer on later utilization of distal GI endoscopies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Background: Colonoscopic screening for colorectal cancer is being implemented in an increasing number of countries. This might lead to a demand for colonoscopies that could outstrip supply. Objective: We wanted to investigate ... -
Hospital acquired urinary tract infections in urology departments: pathogens, susceptibility and use of antibiotics : data from the PEP and PEAP-studies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)Data from two internet-based studies on NAUTI in hospitalized urological patients are presented together: the Pan European Prevalence (PEP) study, which was a 1-day prevalence study in November 2003; and the Pan Euro-Asian ... -
The science and politics of colorectal cancer screening
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006) -
Lifestyle as a predictor for colonic neoplasia in asymptomatic individuals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-01-13)BACKGROUND: Lifestyle is a well-established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) and is also found to be associated with occurrence of adenomas. In the present study we evaluated risk factors for both low-risk adenomas ... -
Polymorphisms of the XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD genes and risk of colorectal adenoma and carcinoma, in a Norwegian cohort: a case control study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-16)BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variation in DNA repair capacity, which may be associated with risk of developing cancer. For colorectal cancer the importance of mutations in ... -
Association between cigarette smoking, APC mutations and the risk of developing sporadic colorectal adenomas and carcinomas
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-03-17)BACKGROUND: The association between colorectal cancer (CRC) and smoking has not been consistent. Incomplete smoking history and association to a specific subset of CRC tumors have been proposed as explanations. The adenomatous ... -
Effects of polymorphisms in ERCC1, ASE-1 and RAI on the risk of colorectal carcinomas and adenomas: a case control study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006-07-03)BACKGROUND: The risk of sporadic colorectal cancer is mainly associated with lifestyle factors and may be modulated by several genetic factors of low penetrance. Genetic variants represented by single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
