Shift Work Including Night Work and Long Working Hours in Industrial Plants Increases the Risk of Atherosclerosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)There is an abundance of literature reporting an association between shift work and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Few studies have examined early manifestation of CVD using advanced modern methodology. We established a ... -
Psychophysical or spinal reflex measures when assessing conditioned pain modulation?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background Assessing conditioning pain modulation (CPM) with spinal reflex measures may produce more objective and stable CPM effects than using psychophysical measures. The aim of the study was to compare the CPM effect ... -
Persistent lumbar radicular and low back pain; impact of genetic variability versus emotional distress
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: Earlier studies documenting the effect of candidate genes on recovery have seldom taken into consideration the impact of emotional distress. Thus, we aimed to assess the modifying effect of emotional distress ... -

Lung function in asphalt pavers: a longitudinal study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Purpose: To study longitudinal changes in lung function in asphalt pavers and a reference group of road maintenance workers, and to detect possible signs of lung disease by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans. ... -
Landmark estimation of transition probabilities in non-Markov multi-state models with covariates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)In non-Markov multi-state models, the traditional Aalen–Johansen (AJ) estimator for state transition probabilities is generally not valid. An alternative, suggested by Putter and Spitioni, is to analyse a subsample of the ... -
