Journal ArticleDOI
Skin cancer in kidney and heart transplant recipients and different long-term immunosuppressive therapy regimens.
Petter Jensen,Svein Hansen,Bjørn Møller,Torbjørn Leivestad,Per Pfeffer,Odd Geiran,P. Fauchald,Svein Simonsen +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the risk of skin cancer in the complete, single-center Norwegian cohort of kidney and heart transplant recipients (n = 2561) and determined cancer risk estimation by means of standardized incidence ratios and multivariate Cox regression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cytokine network in congestive heart failure secondary to ischemic or idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy.
Pål Aukrust,Thor Ueland,Egil Lien,Klaus Bendtzen,Fredrik Müller,Arne K. Andreassen,Ingvild Nordøy,Halfdan Aass,Terje Espevik,Svein Simonsen,Stig S. Frøland,Lars Gullestad +11 more
TL;DR: Deep disturbances in the levels of both inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators with a marked dysbalance favoring inflammatory effects are demonstrated in congestive heart failure patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated Circulating Levels of C-C Chemokines in Patients With Congestive Heart Failure
Pål Aukrust,Thor Ueland,Fredrik Müller,Arne K. Andreassen,Ingvild Nordøy,Halfdan Aas,John Kjekshus,Svein Simonsen,Stig S. Frøland,Lars Gullestad +9 more
TL;DR: This first demonstration of increased circulating levels of C-C chemokines in CHF with particularly high levels in patients with severe disease may represent previously unrecognized pathogenic factors inCHF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of Pressure Gradient in Mitral Stenosis with a Non‐invasive Ultrasound Doppler Technique
TL;DR: The investigation demonstrated that the non-invasive ultrasound technique can be used with confidence to gain an impression of the magnitude of the mitral pressure gradient and suggest that deltaPU represents the actual pressure gradient more accurately than deltaPM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunomodulating Therapy With Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure
Lars Gullestad,Halfdan Aass,J G Fjeld,Lisbeth Wikeby,Arne K. Andreassen,Halfdan Ihlen,Svein Simonsen,John Kjekshus,Sigurd Nitter-Hauge,Thor Ueland,Egil Lien,Stig S. Frøland,Pål Aukrust +12 more
TL;DR: The main findings were that IVIG, but not placebo, induced a marked rise in plasma levels of the anti-inflammatory mediators interleukin (IL)-10, IL-1 receptor antagonist, and soluble tumor necrosis factor receptors.
