Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Endocrinology

Helga Refsum mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Homocysteine, Endocrinology, B vitamins and Risk factor. Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastroenterology and Surgery. Her research in Homocysteine intersects with topics in Diabetes mellitus, Pregnancy, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Blood plasma.

Her research integrates issues of Homocystinuria, Methionine and Disease in her study of Endocrinology. Her B vitamins research includes themes of Randomized controlled trial and Dementia, Cognitive decline. Her Risk factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Epidemiology, Oncology, Cardiology, Case-control study and Vascular disease.

Her most cited work include:

  • Homocysteine and Cardiovascular Disease (1953 citations)
  • Homocysteine and risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke: A meta-analysis (1700 citations)
  • Plasma Homocysteine Levels and Mortality in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (1643 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Internal medicine, Homocysteine, Endocrinology, B vitamins and Vitamin B12 are her primary areas of study. In her research, Confidence interval and Coronary artery disease is intimately related to Gastroenterology, which falls under the overarching field of Internal medicine. Her Homocysteine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vitamin, Surgery, Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase and Methionine.

Her study in Endocrinology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cystathionine beta synthase, Cysteine and Fatty acid. Her research investigates the connection with B vitamins and areas like Dementia which intersect with concerns in Cerebral atrophy. The Risk factor study which covers Prospective cohort study that intersects with Cohort study.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (100.00%)
  • Homocysteine (73.99%)
  • Endocrinology (73.99%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (100.00%)
  • Endocrinology (73.99%)
  • Homocysteine (73.99%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Homocysteine, B vitamins and Dementia. Her research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Cysteine and Methionine. Within one scientific family, Helga Refsum focuses on topics pertaining to Eicosapentaenoic acid under Endocrinology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Clinical Dementia Rating and Omega 3 fatty acid.

She interconnects Vitamin, Randomized controlled trial, Vitamin B12 and Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase in the investigation of issues within Homocysteine. Her B vitamins research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cognition, Hyperhomocysteinemia, Atrophy and Cognitive decline. Her work carried out in the field of Dementia brings together such families of science as Psychiatry, Gerontology and Risk factor.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Homocysteine, B Vitamins, and Cognitive Impairment (188 citations)
  • Homocysteine, B Vitamins, and Cognitive Impairment (188 citations)
  • Homocysteine and Dementia: An International Consensus Statement. (119 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Endocrinology

Her primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Homocysteine, Endocrinology, B vitamins and Methionine. Helga Refsum mostly deals with Neopterin in her studies of Internal medicine. Her Homocysteine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vitamin B12, Methionine synthase, Randomized controlled trial, Vitamin and Dementia.

Helga Refsum combines subjects such as Amino acid, Glutamine, Biochemistry, Fatty acid and Cerebral atrophy with her study of Endocrinology. Her B vitamins research integrates issues from Atrophy and Cognitive decline. The study incorporates disciplines such as Adipose tissue, Cobalamin, Taurine and Intrinsic factor in addition to Methionine.
