Psychosocial and organizational risk factors for doctor-certified sick leave: a prospective study of female health and social workers in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: Doctor-certified sick leave differs substantially across sectors, and among health and social workers, in particular, there is an increased risk. Previous studies have shown that work environmental factors ... -
Impact of Lignosulfonate on Solution Chemistry and Phospholipid Fatty Acid Composition in Soils
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)An incubation experiment (Exp. 1) with three soils, two from Australia and one from Norway, was carried out to investigate the fate of dissolved BorreGro (a lignosulfonate, produced by Borregaard LignoTech Company, Norway) ... -
Workplace bullying as an antecedent of mental health problems: a five-year prospective and representative study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Purpose: The present study investigates the proposed long-term relationship between exposure to workplace bullying and subsequent mental health in the form of anxiety and depression with a time lag of 5 years, exploring ... -
A longitudinal study on risk factors for neck and shoulder pain among young adults in the transition from technical school to working life
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Objectives: The study examined the course of neck and shoulder pain among a cohort of technical school students entering working life. We also aimed to identify work-related and individual risk factors for neck and shoulder ... -
Maternal smoking in pregnancy and risk for congenital malformations: results of a Danish register-based cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Objective To examine the association between maternal smoking during pregnancy and risk for congenital malformations. Design Population-based prospective cohort study. Setting Denmark. Population A total of 838 265 singleton ... -
Dimensional comparability of psychosocial working conditions as covered in European monitoring questionnaires
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: In most countries in the EU, national surveys are used to monitor working conditions and health. Since the development processes behind the various surveys are not necessarily theoretical, but certainly practical ... -
Longitudinal decline in pulmonary diffusing capacity among nitrate fertilizer workers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: This study is part of a 3-year follow-up of lung function among nitrate fertilizer production workers. Aims: To study the possible adverse effects of occupational exposure to aerosols and gases on pulmonary ... -
Exposure and emission measurements during production, purification, and functionalization of arc-discharge-produced multi-walled carbon nanotubes
(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 ... -
The association of high birth weight with intelligence in young adulthood: A cohort study of male siblings
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)We aimed to explore why, in population studies, the positive association between normal-range birth weight and intelligence becomes negative at the highest birth weights. The study population comprised 217,746 Norwegian ... -
Subjective health complaints in patients with lumbar radicular pain and disc herniation are associated with a sex - OPRM1 A118G polymorphism interaction: A prospective 1-year observational study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: Earlier observations show that development of persistent pain may be associated with the genetic variability in the gene encoding for the μ-opioid receptor 1, the OPRM1 A118G (rs1799971). The aim of this study ... -
CTCF mediates the TERT enhancer-promoter interactions in lung cancer cells: Identification of a novel enhancer region involved in the regulation of TERT gene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Telomerase activation is a hallmark of cancer. Although the regulation of the telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit (TERT), the rate‐limiting factor for telomerase activity, has been studied intensively it ... -
Occupational exposure assessment of airborne chemical contaminants among professional ski waxers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Background: Ski waxes are applied onto the skis to improve the performance. They contain different chemical substances, e.g. perfluoro-n-alkanes. Due to evaporation and sublimation processes as well as mechanically generated ... -
A twelve-year longitudinal study of neuropsychological function in non-saturation professional divers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Objectives: Our main aim was to study the long-term neuropsychological effects of non-saturation diving. Further, we aimed to investigate whether neuropsychological performance was predictive of subsequent diving accidents ... -
The interaction between manganese exposure and alcohol on neurobehavioral outcomes in welders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Neurobehavioral functions were studied in 137 welders exposed to the geometric mean (GM) air concentration of 214 μg/m3 (range 1–3230) of manganese (Mn) based on the individual mean from two days of air sampling. Only 22 ... -
Evoked potentials in the Atlantic cod following putatively innocuous and putatively noxious electrical stimulation: A minimally invasive approach
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Aspects of peripheral and central nociception have previously been studied through recording of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to putative noxious stimuli in specific brain regions in a few freshwater fish species. ... -
Epinephrine-stimulated glycogen breakdown activates glycogen synthase and increases insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in epitrochlearis muscles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Epinephrine increases glycogen synthase (GS) phosphorylation and decreases GS activity but also stimulates glycogen breakdown, and low glycogen content normally activates GS. To test the hypothesis that glycogen content ... -
