Employee safety perception following workplace terrorism. A longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Terrorism at the workplace represents an extreme form of workplace violence potentially affecting large numbers of individuals. Evidence suggests that workplace violence adversely affects employees’ health and work functioning ... -
Employment and mental health in the working age population: a protocol for a systematic review of longitudinal studies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Employment provides economic security, a social network, and is important for self-identity. A review published by van der Noordt and colleagues in 2014 showed that employment was beneficial for depression and general ... -
Endotoxin and Hydrogen Sulphide Exposure and Effects on the Airways Among Waste Water Workers in Sewage Treatment Plants and Sewer Net System
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether airborne exposure to endotoxins, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), and inhalable particles negatively impacts the respiratory system and inflammatory blood proteins ... -
Epidemiology of trauma: A population-based study of geographical risk factors for injury deaths in the working-age population of Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Introduction Trauma is a major global cause of morbidity and mortality. Population-based studies identifying high-risk populations and regions may facilitate primary prevention and the development of optimal trauma systems. ... -
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 ... -
Epiregulin is released from intervertebral disks and induces spontaneous activity in pain pathways
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Lumbar radicular pain after disk herniation is associated with local release of many inflammatory molecules from nucleus pulposus (NP) cells leaking out of the intervertebral disk. Here, we have used a rat ... -
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition and FOXA genes during tobacco smoke carcinogen induced transformation of human bronchial epithelial cells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Lung cancer is largely an environmentally caused disease with poor prognosis. An in vitro transformation model of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) was used to study long-term effects of tobacco smoke carcinogens on ... -
Essential and non-essential elements in biological samples of inhabitants residing in Nenets Autonomous Okrug of the Russian Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Exposure of Arctic residents to environmental pollutants is an emerging public health problem receiving little global attention. The objective of this study was to assess whole blood concentrations of nine selected essential ... -
Essential and non-essential trace elements among working populations in Ghana
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background Lead battery repair workers (LBRW) and electronic repair workers (ERW) may be exposed to inorganic components during work. This study aimed at determining essential and non-essential trace elements in male LBRW, ... -
Essential and non-essential trace elements in fish consumed by indigenous peoples of the European Russian Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In present study, the analyses of essential [copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn)] and non-essential elements [mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As)] in 7 fish species consumed by the ... -
Estrogen receptor expression and gene promoter methylation in non-small cell lung cancer - a short report
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Purpose: In the past, anomalous estrogen receptor (ER) regulation has been associated with various lung pathologies, but so far its involvement in lung cancer initiation and/or progression has remained unclear. Here, we ... -
Evidence that pericytes regulate aquaporin-4 polarization in mouse cortical astrocytes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels are concentrated in astrocytic endfoot membranes at the brain–blood and brain–cerebrospinal fluid interfaces. The mechanisms underpinning the polarized distribution of AQP4 are poorly ... -
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. ... -
Examining the lower range of the association between alcohol intake and risk of incident hospitalization with atrial fibrillation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Evidence is sparse on the association between alcohol intakes in the lower range and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to investigate self-reported low and moderate alcohol intakes and subsequent risk ... -
Experimental Models for Cold Exposure of Muscle in vitro and in vivo
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Work in cold environments may have a significant impact on occupational health. In these and similar situations, cold exposure localized to the extremities may reduce the temperature of underlying tissues. To investigate ... -
Experimental sleep restriction facilitates pain and electrically induced cortical responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Study Objectives: Sleep restriction (SR) has been hypothesized to sensitize the pain system. The current study determined whether experimental sleep restriction had an effect on experimentally induced pain and pain-elicited ... -
Experimental sleep restriction increases latency jitter in pain elicited cortical responses
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective Previous studies have shown increased pain scores to painful stimulation after experimental sleep restriction, but reduced or unchanged magnitude of the event related potentials (ERPs) when averaged in the ... -
