Bakgrunn: En unormal tarmflora (fekal dysbiose) er vanlig hos personer med sykelig overvekt. Tarmfloraen regulerer energimetabolismen og fekal dysbiose kan være en årsak til både fedme og noe av den komorbiditet som er hyppig hos personer med sykelig overvekt. Mål/Hensikt: Studere forekomsten av fekal dysbiose og faktorer assosiert med fekal dysbiose hos personer med sykelig overvekt. Materiale og metode: Pasienter med BMI > 40 eller BMI > 35 kg/m2 med komplikasjoner ble vurdert for inklusjon. Bruk av medisiner ble notert, og kostholdet ble registrert med et validert matvarefrekvensskjema som inkluderte bruk av kunstige søtningsmidler (KS). En enhet KS ble definert som 100 ml drikke med KS eller to suketter. Fekal dysbiose ble målt med GA-map™ Dysbiosis Test (Genetic Analysis, Oslo, Norway) og angitt som Dysbiose Index (DI) skår 1-5, skår ≤2 er normalt. Resultatene er angitt som gjennomsnitt med SD, korrelasjoner og p-verdier. Resultater: Av totalt 350 fortløpende pasienter samtykket 159 til deltagelse og 104 leverte avføringsprøver (menn/kvinner: 18(17%)/86(83%); alder (SD): 44 (9) år). Dysbiose (DI skår > 2) ble påvist hos 67 (64%) pasienter. DI-skår:1-5 ble funnet hos henholdsvis 20 (19%), 18 (17%), 35 (34%), 14 (14%) and 17 (16%) pasienter.

  • Daming Jin Master Thesis
    Corporate Governance of Norwegian Health Trusts with Sector Political Goals Daming Jin Master thesis Department of Health Management and Health Economics UNIVERSITY OF OSLO May 15, 2011 SUMMARY Since 2002, the ownership of Norwegian hospitals has been centralized to the state. The four regional health authorities are responsible for the management of the hospitals, and the actual performance is done by the subsidiary health trusts (or HFs). As state-owned enterprises with certain sector political goals, the corporate governance of the health trusts is not exactly the same as private enterprises which mainly pursue pure business goals. The survey which the thesis uses investigates the HF board members’ opinions on some issues of sector political goals and corporate governance. The main purpose of this thesis is to find the differences of the opinions among different groups of HF board members, and to study whether the differences are consistent with relevant theories such as motivation and management theories. The data of the thesis is based on a questionnaire of the survey program Management of State-owned enterprises with sector political goals. The respondents of the survey cover all HF board members who are the target population of my research. Several quantitative methods, such as descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests, are chosen to detect the HF board members’ opinions and the differences of their opinions on the issues of sector political goals and corporate governance. The analyses mainly show that, the appointed board members with macro and broad perspective pay more attention to sector political goals than the employee representatives with micro and specific perspective do.

  • Postmortem Toxicological Analyses of Blood Samples from 107 Patients Receiving Opioid Agonist Treatment: Substances Detected

Design Cross‐sectional nation‐wide study. Setting Norway. Participants One hundred and seven patients who died during OAT (i.e. within 5 days after the last intake of OAT medication) between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2015, with postmortem femoral blood available for toxicology. Data were collected from hospital records, the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and autopsy reports. Measurements Presence of alcohol and non‐alcohol substances in the bloodstream postmortem, determined through records of toxicology of postmortem femoral blood.
