Identification of individuals with increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) is important. However, algorithms specific to the elderly are lacking. Data were analysed from a randomised trial involving 18,548 participants ≥ 70 years old (mean age 75.4 years), without prior cardiovascular disease events, dementia or physical disability. MACE included coronary heart disease death, fatal or nonfatal ischaemic st...

Spontaneous mortality of seemingly healthy, farmed Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L) is an increasing problem in Norwegian aquaculture. In this study, we present a morphological study of the previously undescribed syndrome of arteriosclerosis of the ventral aorta and epicarditis of the adjacent bulbus arteriosus found in farmed Atlantic salmon, with wild‐captured fish as a control group. Both the ventral aorta and epicardium ar...

Piscine mycobacteriosis causes losses in a number of fish species both in the wild and in aquaculture worldwide. Mycobacterium salmoniphilum infections have on several occasions been reported in farmed Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L. The present study tested and confirmed the susceptibility of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L., an important yet relatively novel aquaculture species, to infection with M. salmoniphilum . Atlantic cod...

The possible influences of contaminant bacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens , infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and environmental stress on the development of vaccine‐related peritoneal adhesions in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., pre‐smolts were investigated. Groups of 50 fish (≈ 30 g) vaccinated with a commercial, triple valent, metabolizable oil‐adjuvanted vaccine were pre‐injected with IPNV, co‐injected with Pseudo...
