Trøndelag / Trondheim news: Rosenborg into the last 16

Rosenborg’s women’s team qualified for the round of 16 of the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup on Wednesday, beating Czech club Slovan Liberec 4-1 at Koteng Arena (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim). The Trondheim players had lost 1-3 in the away first leg and therefore had to turn the tie around at home.

After half an hour of play, the Whites and Blacks had wiped out their deficit and taken the lead on aggregate over the two matches, according to NRK. « We had a bad starting point, but we come out of it with a very good starting point. We dominate them in the first half, » goalkeeper Rugile Rulyte told NRK Trøndelag.

A late header from Synne Aunehaugen fixed the score at 4-1 and confirmed qualification. Rosenborg have therefore qualified for the round of 16 of the competition (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

Three measles cases reported in Trondheim

Three cases of measles were confirmed in Trondheim over the weekend, reports NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim. « We received the report of one case on Friday and we have had two earlier cases linked to it, » says Eli Sagvik, infection control doctor at Trondheim municipality.

According to the municipality, one of the infected people had visited a restaurant in Trondheim last week. Contact tracing was launched to reach the people who were present at the same time. « We have an overview of everyone now, » Eli Sagvik says. No new cases had been recorded at the time of the report, but the municipality asks people to watch for symptoms.

Measles is described as one of the most contagious viruses known, and the disease remains rare in Norway according to figures from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health cited by NRK (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

Childhood cancer after-effects: a study from St. Olavs hospital

A study by St. Olavs hospital in Trondheim, based on interviews with 132 people treated for blood cancer in childhood, highlights persistent difficulties in adulthood (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

The figures recorded are 49 per cent for depression in adulthood, 43 per cent for major fatigue and 41 per cent for anxiety. « These are surprisingly high figures, » says medical student Anne Franzèn, from St. Olavs hospital, to NRK.

The context has changed greatly in a few decades. In the 1960s and 1970s, almost all children with cancer died. Today, around 80 per cent survive, and the proportion exceeds 90 per cent for leukaemia, thanks to intensive chemotherapy treatments. Researchers at St. Olavs hospital want longer follow-up of patients and are examining the impact of an intensive two-year treatment pathway undergone in childhood on adult life (NRK Trøndelag / Trondheim).

Trains: an uncertain October

Rail travel remains uncertain in October. According to The Local Norway, the train drivers’ strike is expected to intensify during the month and several lines are affected. No information currently makes it possible to say which services serving Trøndelag would be affected.

October also brings several practical changes for residents, as well as a programme of events in the country, according to the same outlet (The Local Norway).
