Accreditation of occupational health services in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background: In 2010, an accreditation system for occupational health services (OHS) in Norway was implemented. Aims: To examine OHS experiences of the accreditation system in Norway 4 years after its implementation. Methods: ... -
Acute phase response and inflammation following pulmonary exposure to low doses of zinc oxide nanoparticles in mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Inhalation of nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO) induces metal fume fever and systemic acute phase response in humans. Acute phase response activation is a cardiovascular risk factor; we investigated whether pulmonary exposure of ... -
Adherence to self-managed exercises for patients with persistent subacromial pain. The Ad-Shoulder feasibility study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background Exercise is recommended for patients with subacromial pain. It has been suggested that good exercise adherence improves clinical outcomes. Despite this, little attention has been paid to the need for behavioural ... -
Adult onset asthma in non-allergic women working in dampness damaged buildings: A retrospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: There is still no consensus about the association between working in dampness‐damaged buildings and new onset of asthma among adults. The purpose of this study was to assess asthma in the staff of two psychiatric ... -
Adult social position and sick leave: the mediating effect of physical workload
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Objective: This study aimed to quantify how much of the adult social gradient in sick leave can be attributed to the mediating role of physical workload while accounting for the role of childhood and adolescent social ... -
Advanced Respiratory Models for Hazard Assessment of Nanomaterials. Performance of Mono-, Co- and Tricultures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Advanced in vitro models are needed to support next-generation risk assessment (NGRA), moving from hazard assessment based mainly on animal studies to the application of new alternative methods (NAMs). Advanced models must ... -
Adverse health effects of electronic cigarette use: an umbrella review and toxicological evaluation
(Research report, 2022) -
Adverse social behaviour at work and health-related employment exit: a prospective population-based four-wave survey
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background The level of evidence for various aspects of adverse social behaviour (ASB) at work as risk factors for exit from employment due to health problems or diseases is inconclusive. Methods We obtained data from four ... -
Airway exposure to TiO2 nanoparticles and quartz and effects on sperm counts and testosterone levels in male mice
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Several types of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) have been shown to adversely affect male reproduction in rodent studies, but the airway route of exposure has been little investigated. This precludes adequate risk assessment ... -
Airway inflammation among compost workers exposed to actinomycetes spores
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Objectives: To study the associations between exposure to bioaerosols and work-related symptoms, lung function and biomarkers of airway inflammation in compost workers. Material and Methods: Personal full-shift exposure ... -
An assessment of occupational exposure to bioaerosols in automated versus manual waste sorting plants
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Occupational exposure during waste sorting is associated with several health outcomes. This study obtained knowledge about the impact of work in fully automated waste sorting plants (AWSP; n = 3) vs manual waste sorting ... -
An automatic pre-processing method to detect and reject signal artifacts from full-shift field-work sEMG recordings of bilateral trapezius activity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Bipolar surface EMG (sEMG) signals of the trapezius muscles bilaterally were recorded continuously with a frequency of 800 Hz during full-shift field-work by a four-channel portable data logger. After recordings of 60 ... -
An experimental study on the attribution of personality traits to bullies and targets in a workplace setting
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
An Exploratory Study on the Physical Activity Health Paradox. Musculoskeletal Pain and Cardiovascular Load during Work and Leisure in Construction and Healthcare Workers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Using a novel approach, this exploratory study investigated whether the physical activity (PA) paradox extends to cardiovascular load and musculoskeletal pain. At baseline, 1–2 days of 24 h heart rate was assessed in 72 ... -
An initiative for a more inclusive working life and its effect on return-to-work after sickness absence: a multistate longitudinal cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objectives To reduce sickness absence (SA) and increase work participation, the tripartite Agreement for a More Inclusive Working Life (IA) was established in Norway in 2001. IA companies have had access to several measures ... -
An integrated prognostic classifier for Stage I lung adenocarcinoma based on mRNA, microRNA, and DNA methylation biomarkers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Introduction: Up to 30% stage I lung cancer patients suffer recurrence within 5 years of curative surgery. We sought to improve existing protein-coding gene and microRNA expression prognostic classifiers by incorporating ... -
An inter-laboratory effort to harmonize the cell-delivered in vitro dose of aerosolized materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Air-liquid interface (ALI) lung cell models cultured on permeable transwell inserts are increasingly used for respiratory hazard assessment requiring controlled aerosolization and deposition of any material on ALI cells. ...
