Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma : a search for causes
(1997-11-14)
The aim of this thesis was to investigate some factors of possible importance for the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), namely ultraviolet (UV) light, maternal and perinatal characteristics, blood transfusions, ...
Effects of triglycerides on the endothelium
(2001-08-10)
Hypertriglyceridaemia (HTG) is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), although the mechanisms behind the increased risk remain to be defined. It is unclear whether atherogenic or thrombogenic factors are involved, ...
Mechanisms of immune dysfunction in human lymphomas
(1999-11-26)
Accumulating data suggest that tumor-induced immune dysfunction counteracts presumptively efficient tumor-specific immune responses, and thus contributes to disease progression. In the present work, focus was given on ...
Socially dependent avoidance learning : mechanisms of adaptive behavior
(2014-08-08)
Many aspects of human social behavior are likely to be shaped by punishment, threats of punishment, and avoidance of punishment. However, surprisingly little is known about the psychological mechanisms underpinning these ...
Ability in everyday activities and morale among older women with chronic musculoskeletal pain living alone : a behavioural medicine approach in physiotherapy
(2014-11-11)
The overall purpose of this thesis was to utilise a behavioural medicine approach in physiotherapy to study how older women with chronic musculoskeletal pain, who live alone and are dependent on formal care, perceive their ...
Body size and physical activity : epidemiological studies on children and young adults
(2007-05-25)
The overall aim of this thesis was to increase the knowledge about
different aspects of body size and physical activity among Swedish
children and young adults. Specific aims were: (i) to investigate how

Adhesion molecules and synapse remodeling during motoneuron regeneration
(2009-10-09)
Spinal motoneurons integrate a vast synaptic input and are the final conveyors of motor commands to skeletal muscle. Motoneuron regeneration includes altered contacts between the motoneuron and several other cell types. ...
Structural enzymology of oxalate degradation in Oxalobacter formigenes
(2008-01-04)
Oxalic acid, as one of nature's most highly oxidised compounds, is toxic
to most organisms. It is introduced in the human body in the diet but
also as a waste product of cellular metabolism. Mammals do not posses ...
Modulating chromatin by transcription and nucleosome turnover : a genome-wide study in fission yeast
(2015-12-10)
Eukaryotic DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form a nucleosome, the basic
structural unit of chromatin. Multiple levels of chromatin organization are required to
compact DNA into chromosomes, to ensure an accurate ...
Oxidoreductases and RNA degradosome controlling virulence-associated traits of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
(2013-09-04)
The oxidative stress response is a fundamental and primitive mode of innate immune defense in nearly all forms of life. The host oxidative stress response becomes truly important and effective especially against intracellular ...
