Photocuring of multifunctional monomers initiated by camphorquinone / amine systems for application in dental restorative resins
(1998-11-12)
This thesis deals with the photopolymerization of mono-, di- and trifunctional monomers initiated by carnphorquinone (CQ) alone and/or with different amines (AMH) as coinitiators in air as well in nitrogen. The kinetics ...
Assisted reproduction technology in men with ejaculatory dysfunction with special reference to spinal cord injury
(1998-05-16)
Background: Men afflicted by spinal cord injury (SCI), myelomeningocele (MMC) and testicular cancer (TC) with retroperitoneal lymph-node dissection (RPLND) share the problem of infertility due mainly, but not exclusively, ...
Cellular immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis
(2001-11-09)
Atherosclerosis, the major cause of death and disability in western countries, is nowadays recognized as an inflammatory disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in plasma, is trapped in the ...
Prevention of growth failure caused by glucocorticoid treatment
(2023-03-10)
Children with chronic inflammation often suffer from growth failure and many of these children are treated with high doses of glucocorticoids (GCs). However, the underlying mechanisms of growth failure under conditions of ...
Proteasome targeted therapy in arthritis models : effects on pain and inflammation
(2010-09-24)
The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) regulates numerous cellular
functions by selectively degrading cellular proteins. It controls
activation of the transcription factor NF-ĸB which is involved in the
expression of ...
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. ...
The value of artificial disc replacement in cervical radiculopathy
(2014-05-21)
Background; Artificial disc replacement (ADR) is a motion-preserving implant and a further development of existing surgical implants for the treatment of cervical radiculopathy. Theoretically, an artificial disc could ...
Bilateral cochlear implants in children : clinical and methodological studies
(2015-11-16)
A cochlear implant (CI) restores functional hearing in individuals with bilateral severe-
to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Despite hearing loss in both ears, CIs
are usually provided unilaterally, excluding the ...
Epstein-Barr virus and genomic instability : a new look at the mechanisms of viral oncogenesis
(2010-12-20)
EBV is associated with a variety of lymphoid and epithelial malignancies but the mechanisms of oncogenesis are still not fully understood. The aim of the work described in this thesis was to assess whether induction of ...
The impact of homocysteine and B vitamins on Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive performance and structural brain changes
(2013-09-06)
The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the relation of homocysteine (tHcy), vitamin B12, and folate with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), cognitive performance, and structural brain changes in population-based studies ...
