• Exposure and emission measurements during production, purification, and functionalization of arc-discharge-produced multi-walled carbon nanotubes 

  Hedmer, Maria; Isaxon, Christina; Nilsson, Patrick T.; Ludvigsson, Linus; Messing, Maria; Genberg, Johan; Skaug, Vidar; Bohgard, Mats; Tinnerberg, Håkan; Pagels, Joakim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)

  Background: The production and use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is rapidly growing. With increased production, there is potential that the number of occupational exposed workers will rapidly increase. Toxicological studies ...

• A large conditioned pain modulation response is not related to a large blood pressure response: A study in healthy men 

  Nilsen, Kristian Bernhard; Olsen, Inge Christoffer; Solem, A.N.; Matre, Dagfinn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)

  Background: Endogenous pain modulation has been studied with the conditioned pain modulation (CPM) paradigm with large differences in the magnitude of the CPM effect. We hypothesized that differences in CPM effects might ...
