Objective Establishing normal liver stiffness (LS) values in healthy livers is a prerequisite to
differentiate normal from pathological LS values. Our aim was to define normal LS using two …

This study aimed to assess and validate the repeatability and agreement of quantitative
elastography of novel shear wave methods on four individual tissue-mimicking liver fibrosis …

Aim To determine serum C‐reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in healthy term‐born
infants shortly after birth. Methods We sampled blood from 182 infants along with the routine …

Objectives Acute respiratory infections and fever among children are highly prevalent in
primary care. It is challenging to distinguish between viral and bacterial infections. Norway …

Objective To evaluate the effect of preconsultation C reactive protein (CRP) screening on
antibiotic prescribing and referral to hospital in Norwegian primary care settings with low …

Point shear wave elastography (pSWE) is an ultrasound-based method for non-invasive
quantification of liver fibrosis. The objective of this study was to explore liver pSWE in …

The aim of the study described here was to characterize three different liver elastography
methods in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) patients, for the first time exploring 2-D …

Background Antibiotic resistance is an increasing global threat, accelerated by both misuse
and overuse of antibiotics. Most antibiotics to humans are prescribed in primary care …

Liver elastography applies ultrasound-based measurements of liver stiffness (LS), used as a
quantification of liver fibrosis. Correlation between liver stiffness measurements (LSM) and …

Purpose Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) is a non-invasive method to assess the
presence of liver steatosis. It has been evaluated in children and adults, mainly in either the …
