Intervensjonssenteret ved Oslo universitetssykehus vinner høythengende global innovasjonspris

PRISVINNERE. Her ved Bjørn Edwin, Andre Amundsen, Henrik Brun, Ole Jakob Elle, Rahul Kumar, Kingsley Dankwah, Rafael Palomar, Christopher Tannum, Inge Henriksen, Gunnar Mørne og John Berland. Jørn Skaaraas kunne ikke være med på bildet. Dato: 21-02-2017 18:39 CET Opprinnelig tittel på pressemeldingen: Intervensjonssenteret ved Oslo universitetssykehus vinner høythengende global innovasjonspris Kategori: , innovasjon it Konsulent helse samfunnsansvar teknologi hololens microsoft Intervensjonssenteret ved Oslo universitetssykehus og Sopra Steria mottok i dag den globale prisen Microsoft Health Innovation Awards for sitt arbeid med å bringe Microsoft HoloLens-teknologi inn i operasjonssalen.

Intervensjonssenteret ved Oslo universitetssykehus og Sopra Steria mottok i dag den globale prisen Microsoft Health Innovation Awards for sitt arbeid med å bringe Microsoft HoloLens-teknologi inn i operasjonssalen.

Prisen ble delt ut i Orlando, USA i dag under årets HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society), en av verdens største konferanser innen helse og teknologi. Microsoft Health Innovation Awards går til helseaktører som bruker Microsoft-teknologi for å bedre hverdagen til pasienter og helsearbeidere, og som fremmer effektivisering og innovasjon.

Ved hjelp av Microsoft HoloLens har Oslo universitetssykehus og Sopra Steria skapt et “mixed reality”-miljø knyttet til operasjon av leverkreftpasienter og barn med hjertefeil. Ved hjelp av en applikasjon blir eksisterende 3D-modeller av kroppsorganer visualisert, noe gjør det enklere for kirurgene å planlegge operasjonen.

GJEV PRIS: Forskningen til Intervensjonssenteret og Sopra Steria med HoloLens har skapt bølger internasjonalt.

Bjørn Edwin ved Oslo universitetssykehus har kanskje utført flere kikkhullsoperasjoner i leveren enn noen annen kirurg i verden. Han er begeistret over det han har sett av HoloLens-forskningsprosjektet med Sopra Steria.

– Dette er en drøm jeg har hatt lenge. Det kan være vanskelig å studere 2D-bilder på en skjerm før operasjonen, så over flere år har vi utviklet en virtuell 3D-modell av lever, blodårer og kreftsvulster for planlegging av kirurgiske inngrep. Nå som vi har fått hologramteknologi å legge 3D-modellen i, kan vi lettere orientere oss i forkant av en planlagt operasjon. En effekt kan være at vi klarer å spare mer av leveren, noe som øker pasientens evne til å bli operert flere ganger, sier Edwin.

Leder for teknologisk forskning ved Intervensjonssenteret på Oslo universitetssykehus, Ole Jakob Elle, forteller at de har jobbet med virtualisering som en del av kirurgisk planlegging og navigasjon siden 2004.

– Applikasjonen har blitt bra allerede. 3D-hologrammet av leveren kan man enkelt navigere rundt i. Flere klinikere har sett på løsningen og latt seg imponere. Appen gir en opplevelse av hvor svulsten sitter og hvor blodårene går. Det gir kirurgene større trygghet når de bestemmer hvordan de skal gå fram, sier Elle.

3D-INNOVASJON: Ved hjelp av en applikasjon blir eksisterende 3D-modeller av kroppsorganer visualisert, noe gjør det enklere for kirurgene å planlegge operasjonen.

Kjell Rusti, administrerende direktør for Sopra Steria i Skandinavia, ser store muligheter i HoloLens-teknologien.

– Dette er en utrolig spennende teknologi som sannsynligvis kommer til å bli en viktig del av manges liv i årene fremover, både profesjonelt og privat. Ny teknologi og digitalisering er i dag den største driveren for modernisering av helsesektoren. Vi er svært stolte over arbeidet vi har gjort sammen med intervensjonssenteret sier han.

Laura Wallace, visepresident ved Health & Life Sciences i Microsoft, mener intelligent teknologi kan hjelpe helsesektoren gjennom en tid med store omveltninger og utfordringer.

– Det handler om å dele og tolke informasjon på en måte som forbedrer både organisasjoner, samfunn og enkeltindivider. Årets mottakere av Microsoft Health Innovation Awards bruker utstyr, platformer og skytjenester fra Microsoft til å nå sine mål om økt pasientinvolvering og bedre koordinasjon av helsetjenester, sier Wallace.

I forkant av årets prisutdeling mottok Microsoft nominasjoner fra mange forskjellige helseaktører over hele verden. En fagtung jury valgte ut årets vinnere basert på i hvor stor grad deres innovasjonsprosjekter leverer banebrytende resultater som kan være med på å drive digitaliseringen av helsesektoren fremover på en måte som kommer flere mennesker til gode. Vinnerne fremheves på��denne nettsiden samt på Microsofts helseblogg.

WHA10日进入第2天会议，2020年委员会主席竟以与议程无关为由，在友邦发言时2度直接「卡画面」。 (图:WHO)

【希望之声2020年11月11日】（希望之声记者高健雯综合报导）

世界卫生大会（WHA）9日以视讯方式复会，10日进入第2天会议，美国、日本等11国友邦「接力」为台湾发言，面对国际社会的强力支持，委员会主席竟以与议程无关为由，在友邦发言时2度直接「卡掉画面」。只有其不敢得罪的美日两国代表得以完整发言。

在中共以「一中」原则的反对下，「台湾以观察员身分出席WHA参与案」今年依然未能被列入大会议程。

10日大会进入第2天议程，在A、B两个委员会上包括美国、日本、贝里斯、史瓦帝尼、尼加拉瓜、圣克里斯多福及尼维斯、宏都拉斯、诺鲁、瓜地马拉、帛琉及马绍尔群岛共11个理念相近国家及友邦持续发言力挺台湾以观察员身分参与WHA。

不过，在贝里斯发言后，史瓦帝尼发言时直接被主持会议的挪威籍主席拉森（Bjørn-Inge Larsen）卡掉画面，中断发言。拉森并点名提醒史国及贝里斯以及接下来的发言者，请仅谈会议议题，「不要谈观察员的问题」。

当帛琉以预录影片发言，再次提到希望台湾能以观察员身分受邀参与WHA，分享经验时，被世卫秘书处建议停止帛琉发言影片，大会主席并同意裁示停止播放，改提供书面。

但相较3友邦被阻挠，美国和日本则获完整发言。其中美国卫生部全球事务办公室主任格里斯比（Garrett Grigsby）表示，台湾在对抗疫情上取得亮眼的成绩，面临新一波疫情，了解台湾抗疫经验对会员国很有帮助，不让台湾以观察员的身分参与世界卫生大会则只会造成反效果。

格里斯比还强调，当前必须共享资讯强化防疫能力，才能打造透明且紧密联系的全球卫生架构，协助各会员国守护人民的健康，防止疫情进一步扩散。

日本发言代表也表示，全球疫情大流行，一国难以独自应对，全体应合作交流讯息，必须考量像台湾这样成功应对疫情的区域，而不应该让全球公卫留下地理缺口。

長盛不衰的秘訣

壓力＋休息＝成長。無論你追求的是哪方面的成長，這個公式都成立。

試想，怎樣才能讓肌肉（例如二頭肌）變得更強而有力？舉重太重時，你可能奮力高舉一次就不行了。即使你勉強重複幾次，也很容易受傷。相反的，舉重太輕時，幾乎看不出成效，鍛鍊不了二頭肌。你得找出恰恰好適合自己鍛鍊的重量：一個差點就超出你的能耐，練起來會疲累，但練完又不至於受傷的重量。然而，找到那個理想重量只是成功的一半。如果你天天練舉重，一天舉好幾次，中間不太休息，那肯定不久就會筋疲力竭，產生倦怠。

但是，如果你幾乎不去健身房，又無法經常挑戰個人極限，你也無法變得更強健。鍛鍊二頭肌及任何肌肉（無論是實體肌肉、認知或情感方面）的關鍵是，適量的壓力搭配適度的休息。壓力＋休息＝成長。無論你追求的是哪方面的成長，這個公式都成立。

週期化訓練

在運動科學領域中，這種壓力搭配休息的循環常被稱為「週期化」（periodization）。壓力可以挑戰身體，在有些情況下把身體逼到接近疲乏。這裡所謂的壓力，不是指你跟伴侶或老闆吵架的那種壓力，而是指某種刺激，例如舉重。這種流程往往緊接著是出現功能輕微下滑，你可以想想努力練舉重一段時間後手臂沒力的感覺。但承受壓力一段時間後，只要讓身體好好休息，恢復元氣，身體會馬上適應並變得更強，讓你以後可以更進一步提高訓練的強度。隨著時間的推移，那個循環如下所示：

1. 找出你想鍛鍊的肌肉或能力。

2. 對它施壓。

3. 休息和恢復元氣，讓身體適應。

4. 重複流程——這次的施壓比上次的再強一點或再久一些。

世界頂尖的運動員都是這種循環鍛鍊的高手。從微觀層面來看，他們的訓練是在高強度（例如做間歇訓練，直到瀕臨肌肉疲乏和筋疲力盡）與低強度訓練（例如競走）之間切換。最優秀的運動員也會把躺下休息列為優先要務，他們把休息看得跟上場或上健身房鍛鍊一樣重要。從宏觀層面來看，優秀運動員往往在強效訓練一個月後，緊接著做一週輕度訓練。他們刻意設計鍛鍊季節，期間只安排幾個重要賽事，賽事結束後緊接著安排身心恢復期。運動菁英的每日、每週、每月、每年作息，乃至於整個職業生涯，就是在壓力和休息之間持續更迭。

在壓力與休息之間無法拿捏平衡的人，要不是受傷，就是陷入倦怠、黯然退出（壓力太多，休息不足），或是流於自滿、停滯不前（壓力不夠，休息太多）。那些能夠拿捏平衡的人，才能成為常勝不墜的贏家。

持久的優異表現

1996 年，狄娜．卡斯特（Deena Kastor）從阿肯色大學畢業時，是個不錯的大學跑者，但從未在重大賽事中拿過冠軍。她得過多次全美大獎，多次上台領獎，但距離全美大學比賽的冠軍總是差那麼一點點——更確切地說，是只差幾秒。

但是，這並未阻止她全力投入跑步。大學畢業後，她找上傳奇教練喬．維吉爾（Joe Vigil），跟著教練到氧氣稀薄的科羅拉多州阿拉莫薩（Alamosa）受訓，最後到加州的曼摩絲湖（Mammoth Lakes）。在那裡，卡斯特接受海拔9 千英尺的訓練，以期大幅超越以前的水準。

稍微看一下卡斯特在那段顛峰時期的訓練日誌，腦中會馬上浮現兩個字：驚人。在海拔7 千英尺（2134 公尺）的地方跑24 英里（39 公里），而且每英里（1.6公里）的跑速相當於一般人衝刺100 公尺的速度。她最愛的訓練是以每英里5 分鐘的速度（時速19 公里）來回跑4 英里，而且這一切都是在曼摩絲湖區海拔最高的地方完成。這些驚人的訓練只占卡斯特總跑量的一小部分。每週結束時，她會在訓練日誌的右下角圈出「總里程」。那個數字幾乎一定是在110 ∼ 140 英里之間（177 ∼ 225 公里）。這看起來很不尋常，但是在卡斯特的眼中，這其實再平常不過了。因此，她達到了運動成就的顛峰。

卡斯特無疑是美國女子跑步界最響亮的名字，而且紅得有理。她得過奧運馬拉松的銅牌，在許多重大的全國賽事中獲得佳績，也是美國馬拉松紀錄的保持人，僅以2 小時19 分鐘就跑完26.2 英里（每英里的速度是5 分20 秒）。

你先想以那麼快的速度跑1 英里，接著再想以那樣的速度連續跑二十六次。或許更難以理解的是，她在四十二歲時，以2 小時27 分鐘跑完馬拉松（每英里的速度是5 分鐘40 秒）。沒錯，即使理論上她已經進入耐力運動生涯的尾聲，她依然跑得飛快。雖然她偶爾會輸給年紀小她十到二十歲的年輕人，但跟那些年紀足以當她女兒的跑者較勁，她始終屬於領先的一群，而且經常擊敗她們。

如果你問卡斯特如何長久維持這種績效水準，你會因此學到週期化的重要。雖然卡斯特會很快強調苦練很重要，但她也會迅速提到苦練之後的休息一樣重要。「過去幾年成績之所以突飛猛進，主要是因為訓練環境以外的東西，以及我選擇恢復元氣的方式。」2009 年她接受《競爭者》雜誌（Competitor）的訪問時這麼說：「運動時，你是在破壞軟組織，對身體施壓。運動後的休息是讓你恢復元氣，獲得力量，以便再攻下一城。」

卡斯特說，她很早就意識到光是拚命操練是不行的。她甚至說，她的例常鍛鍊算是輕鬆的部分。她之所以與眾不同，能在過去二十五年間跑得又快又遠，那神奇的關鍵在於她恢復元氣的方式：每晚睡10 ∼ 12 小時；對膳食的嚴謹講究；每週按摩及做伸展運動。換句話說，她在不鍛鍊時所做的一切，都是為了讓她在鍛鍊時持續展現驚人的表現。壓力需要搭配休息，休息讓人更加耐壓。卡斯特已經掌握了這個公式的訣竅，了解她能承受多少壓力及需要多少休息。所以，她的成就——整個持續成長的生涯與卓越——就不是那麼令人意外。

壓力搭配休息，不斷晉級

卡斯特當然是獨一無二的，但史蒂芬．賽勒（Stephen Seiler）的研究佐證了她的實例。1996 年，賽勒在美國拿到生理學博士後不久便移居挪威。他剛到挪威時，注意到一件事，令他困惑不解：在交叉訓練中，世界級的越野滑雪高手在山腳停下來，接著慢慢走上山。賽勒對此做法感到不解，為什麼全球最頂尖的耐力運動員會採用如此簡單的訓練方式？

賽勒找上挪威越野滑雪國手的教練英格．布拉頓（Inge Bråten）探究原因，他是八次金牌得主比約恩．戴利（Bjørn Dæhlie）等多位傳奇選手背後的重要推手。賽勒問布拉頓，他把運動員緩步上山視為一種訓練，是不是有什麼誤解？如果不是誤解，而是真的訓練，為什麼挪威選手要那樣做，能不能請布拉頓說明一下原因。布拉頓告訴賽勒，賽勒看到的那些滑雪運動員，最近才剛完成高強度的訓練，所以現在必須換輕鬆的訓練。

聽到那番話，賽勒的腦中馬上聯想到他讀過的一篇論文。那篇論文指出，肯亞跑者的多數訓練時間是以龜速慢跑進行。賽勒再次回顧那項研究時，看到那篇論文提到肯亞人是在高強度與低強度訓練之間輪流切換。當下賽勒發現，全球最頂尖的夏季運動員和冬季運動員的訓練方式似乎非常相似。於是，他就像其他優秀的科學家一樣，開始驗證這個推論是否正確。

壓力需要搭配休息，休息讓人更加耐壓。

賽勒追蹤了多種耐力運動高手的訓練方式，包括跑步、滑雪、游泳、騎自行車。他發現，不分運動和國籍，他們的訓練大致都呈現一套相同的分布狀態。全球最頂尖的運動員不是採行「唯有苦練才有收穫」的模式，也不是採用健身雜誌推廣的高強度間歇訓練（HIIT）或任何「最夯的訓練法」，而是有系統地在密集的高強度鍛鍊以及輕鬆的訓練與恢復期之間輪流切換，即使是輕鬆的徒步上山，也是一種訓練。賽勒發現，菁英選手的持續進步和發展，是一種以壓力搭配休息的訓練。

The Skådalen School for children with hearing impairment designed by Sverre Fehn was completed in 1975. It comprised of dormitories, preschool, elementary and secondary school, administration buildings and a sports hall. The architecture replaces the reverberation of sound with visual orientation.

Skådalen School Technical Information

Architects: Sverre Fehn

Team: Eilif Andersen, Truls Ovrum, Jon Kåre Schultz, Tom Wike, Bjørn Larsen, all architects. MNAL

Location: Skådalsveien 33, Oslo, Norway

Material: Brick and Concrete

Type: Educational / School

Client: SBED (currently Statsbygg, Public Construction and Property Management)

Consultants: Terje Orlien from Ing. Arne Neegaard AS (structural engineer)

Project Year: 1971 – 1977

I have never thought of myself as modern, but I did absorb the anti-monumental and the pictorial world of Le Corbusier, as well as the functionalism of the small villages of North Africa. You might say I came of age in the shadow of modernism.

Sverre Fehn

Skådalen School Photographs

The design of Skådalen School is very different from other works of Sverre Fehn. It is probably one of the most intricate structures he has ever done; due to a complex architectural program: the school was the first institution for deaf children in Scandinavia.

The architecture presents a hearty, non-formalist structural language, careful and clear. The rudimentary feel of its tectonics and the relation between the buildings and the landscape was very uncommon. The project consists of eight independent and mutually different buildings, distributed on the plot following its sloping topography. The two-story oblong building was designed for group activities, its main hall was lit by windows in the ceiling and from the bay windows on the side. These allowed some activities to be carried out in private while preserving the connection between interior and exterior.

To design the building Sverre Fehn used an open class system model that transformed the pupil/teacher relationship. Large sliding doors gave the room some flexibility. The structures are mainly built of bricks in the exterior and the interiors use the same bricks. Other materials such as concrete and laminated wood were also used.

The classroom building and kindergarten both have a similar semicircular shape, inspired by the way the children gather around the teacher. The school counts with the houses for the board where there are six dormitories with rooms, associated around a common area. Other buildings include a dining room, a kitchen, administration offices and sports facilities including a swimming pool.

The school as a whole has been articulated as a small town in which its inhabitants can learn to orient themselves easily due to their different shapes and materials. The transparency of the whole area enables young children to create simple and direct spatial relationships. Sverre Fehn devoted many considerations to these relationships.

The scattered plan is a strategy that allows the residents to walk from their “homes” to school. The architect has to recognize the physical size of the children. You cannot accept a point of view that says the structure has to stand and wait, expecting you to grow and reach twenty-one years of age before you fit into the world. … No pedagogy can reach the child if the architecture does not recognize the child’s dimensions.2

Can a Low-Gluten Diet Improve Your Health (even if you don't have celiac disease)?

MedicalResearch.com Interview with:

Professor Oluf Pedersen Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research University of Copenhagen MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: We focused our study on healthy people due to the world-wide bottom-up movement among healthy adults to live gluten-free or on a low-gluten diet. Therefore, we undertook a randomised, controlled, cross-over trial involving 60 middle-aged healthy Danish adults with two eight week interventions comparing a low-gluten diet (2 g gluten per day) and a high-gluten diet (18 g gluten per day), separated by a washout period of at least six weeks with habitual diet (12 g gluten per day). The two diets were balanced in number of calories and nutrients including the same total amount of dietary fibres. However, the composition of fibres differed markedly between the two diets. When the low-gluten trend started years back the trend was without any scientific evidence for health benefits. Now we bring pieces of evidence that a low-gluten diet in healthy people may be related to improved intestinal wellbeing due to changes in the intestinal microbiota which to our surprise is NOT induced by gluten itself but by the concomitant change in the type of dietary fibres linked to a low-gluten intake. MedicalResearch.com: What are the main findings? Response: Based on our observations of altered food fermentation patterns of the gut microbiome, we conclude that the effects of low-gluten dieting in healthy people is NOT due to reduced intake of gluten itself but rather to a change in dietary fibre composition by reducing fibres from wheat and rye and replacing them with fibres from vegetables, brown rice, corn, oat, quinoa and other non-gluten containg whole grain cereals. In comparison with a high-gluten diet, a low-gluten, fibre-rich diet (other types but the same total amount) induces changes in the structure and function of the complex intestinal ecosystem of bacteria, reduces hydrogen exhalation, and leads to improvements in self-reported bloating and other intestinal comfort indicators. Moreover, during the 2 month of low-gluten dieting, the healthy individuals lost on overage 0.8 kg, likely due to increased body combustion (increased whole body thermogenesis) triggered by the altered gut bacterial functions eliciting increases in the plasma concentration of the gut hormone PYY, the fecal concentration of the microbial compound kynurenine and the concentration of the urine compound beta-amino-iso-butyric acid ( all three compounds are known to enhance thermogenesis. MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your report? Response: If they for some personal reasons prefer to stick to a low-gluten diet they can do it without expected adverse effects provided they eat high-fibre containing low-gluten products that are balanced in macro- and micronutrients. However, most gluten-free food items available on the market today are massively deprived of dietary fibers and natural nutritional ingredients. Filled with additive and preservatives, sugars and unhealthy fats. Therefore, there is an obvious need for availability of fibre-enriched, nutritionally high-quality gluten-free food items which are freshly produced or minimally processed to consumers who prefer a low-gluten diet. Such initiatives may turn out to be key for alleviating gastro-intestinal discomfort and in addition to help facilitating weight control in the general population via modification of the gut microbiota. Therefore, by now we think that our study is a kind of wake-up call to the food industry and gourmet bakeries to produce a wide assortment of delicious non-wheat, non-rye wholegrain cereals (corn, brown rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, chia and gluten free oat) enriched with dietary fibres from vegetables (eg. carrots, squash), apple, psyllium seed husks, beans, chicory etc. You can bake the most healthy and most tasty bread, buns and pastries in this way. Innovations like this are highly needed for healthy people choosing a lifestyle with no gluten but associated with other types of dietary fibres, the microbial digestion of which cause less intestinal gas production and facilitate weight control . MedicalResearch.com: What recommendations do you have for future research as a result of this work? Response: More long-term clinically studies are needed both in healthy individuals and in well-defined groups of people suffering from gluten sensitivity, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis.
