Cell transplantation and immunoisolation : studies on a macroencapsulation device
(1999-11-26)
Encapsulation of cellular grafts in semipermeable membranes may provide a way to protect the graft from immune attack without the need for pharmacological immunosuppression. In this thesis, the use of immunoisolating devices ...
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 ...
Integrated assessment of environmental and human health risks of antibiotic residues and resistance for environmental and health policy
(2021-04-27)
Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global health crisis and a serious threat to progress in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. This requires a One Health response that recognises the link between human and ...
Circulating immune complexes in atherosclerotic vascular disease
(2001-08-31)
We have investigated the association of the humoral immune factors
circulating immune complexes (CICs) and autoantibodies against
cardiolipin (aCL) and oxidatively modified LDL (oxLDL) to atherosclerotic
vascular diseases.
In ...

(2015-04-08)
Salmonella sp. are versatile bacteria that survive and replicate in a plethora of environmental
niches and hosts, including humans. The illnesses caused by various serovars in humans
range from mild gastroenteritis to ...
Cost analysis and policy implications in psychiatric care
(2009-04-01)
in Sweden in 2001 (Study I) was estimated at MSEK 85 774 (M€ 9 426, €1= SEK9.1). Indirect costs were totally predominant and constituted about 80% of the total cost, i.e. production losses due to early retirement, sickness absence and premature death...
Immune mechanisms in atherosclerotic vascular disease
(2002-05-14)
Atherosclerosis has been categorized as an inflammatory disorder, with similar chronic inflammatory conditions found in rheumatoid arthritis. It entails an unregulated accumulation of lipids in the vessel wall, which leads ...
Gene expression profiling in periodontitis
(2015-02-06)
The chronic inflammatory disease periodontitis is characterized by destruction of periodontal tissue, i.e. the tissues that surround and support the teeth. This complex disease is multifactorial, involving oral pathogens, ...
Role of PfATP6 and pfMRP1 in Plasmodium falciparum resistance to antimalarial drugs
(2009-05-11)
Half of the world's population live at risk for malaria and nearly one million people die from the disease every year. The malaria burden is greatest in children and pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa. As effective ...
Cocaine effects on striatal dynorphin and CART neuropeptides : association to mood disorder
(2003-05-16)
People take cocaine to elevate mood, but with repeated use and subsequent development of dependence, in paradox, a negative mood state is induced. This may be one reason for the strong comorbidity between cocaine dependence ...
