Trøndelag news: 700 buildings restored in Røros as climate gets wetter

In Røros, in Trøndelag County, more than 700 buildings have been restored according to old construction principles over the past 30 years (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim). This work has relied on traditional techniques, adapted to wooden buildings. The result is presented as a body of knowledge that could matter for preserving buildings in a wetter climate (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

The figure of 700 buildings goes beyond a single project. It documents a conservation method applied across a Trøndelag community. The expertise accumulated in Røros can serve as a reference for other municipalities facing more frequent rain events or higher humidity (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

The restoration is therefore not only about the appearance of facades. It concerns how old buildings are built, repaired, and maintained with materials and techniques passed down. In a wetter climate, these practices become a long-term conservation issue for wooden heritage (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

Economy and local life in Trondheim: Bakklandet hotel and reopened restaurant

In Trondheim, a private hotel project in Bakklandet involves several million NOK, according to Adresseavisen on Sunday 20 September. The Bakklandet district is located in central Trondheim. The information published by the regional newspaper does not specify the identity of the project owner or the exact construction schedule (Adresseavisen).

The same day, Adresseavisen reports that a person who previously drove a bus is reopening a restaurant. This reopening adds to the movements observed in Trondheim's restaurant sector. The regional newspaper does not give further details about the location or opening date (Adresseavisen).

In Solsiden, in Trondheim, the “cavasøndag” are coming to an end. Adresseavisen reports on Sunday 20 September that the shutdown is complete. This decision changes the Sunday offering in this part of the city. It concerns a local gathering that took place on Sundays around cava (Adresseavisen).

Health: A liver disease with no treatment and a study on paracetamol

NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim reports on the story of Kristoffer Mauno, 35, who long suffered from abdominal pain. After a barbecue in 2015, he was taken in by an emergency department. He first thought it was food poisoning, before doctors diagnosed PSC, a rare liver disease, as well as ulcerative colitis (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

In 2019, Kristoffer Mauno underwent his first operation. Surgeons removed his entire colon and he received a stoma, that is, a bag on his stomach to collect stool. The severe pain diminished, but he is not cured. There is no treatment for PSC, NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim says. Researchers in Oslo nonetheless believe they are on the trail of a possible solution (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

Furthermore, NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim relays a new Danish study on paracetamol and pregnancy. In Norway, 660 million paracetamol tablets were sold last year. The study indicates that girls whose mothers took paracetamol early in pregnancy had, on average, smaller ovaries, a smaller uterus and fewer eggs. Researcher and department head Casper Hagen, of Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, tells NRK that these results suggest that paracetamol disrupts egg formation, which has also been observed in animal studies (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).
