Effects of some ward routines on behavioural and physiological adaptation to breast-feeding
(1996-11-21)
The overall aim of this thesis was to study how early breast-feeding would be influenced by pethidine given during labour and by an emergency Caesarean section. Eighteen mother-infant pairs which were exposed and 26 which ...
HLA polymorphism : genomic typing and impact on unrelated stem cell transplantation
(2001-01-05)
The HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) region is the most polymorphic in the human genome. The extended polymorphism contributes to the ability both of individuals and populations to combat diversity in the pathogens to which ...
Structural studies of lipopolysaccharides expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains
(2012-08-31)
The present thesis describes lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae and Haemophilus parainfluenzae strains. LPS is a major surface component of Gram-negative bacteria. Structural ...
Urinary thymine dimer as a biomarker of exposure to ultraviolet radiation
(2013-03-27)
Exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is associated with all three major forms of skin cancer; squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). Different exposure patterns ...
Executive functions and successful behavior
(2021-07-28)
Executive functions are the underlying mechanisms that drive top-down regulation of information processing. While suboptimal executive functions have been investigated in various groups of patients, their impact and ...
T cell responses in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis : friends or foes?
(2023-07-19)
, at the time of diagnosis, have the potential to serve as predictors of disease outcomes. A high frequency of CD4+FOXP3- effector T cells in both blood and CSF was associated with poor survival, while a high frequency of activated regulatory T cells and a high...
Neutrophil interactions with Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus
(2017-04-03)
Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus are Gram-positive bacteria that share many features, including clinical presentations and pathogenic mechanisms, and yet, they still have unique properties. They both cause ...
Hormonal regulation of HES-1 in breast cancer cells
(2008-05-21)
, coactivators and corepressors were recruited to this cis-element in response to estrogen. Importantly, a decrease in acetylation of histone H3 and H4 and a decrease in recruitment of RNA POL II were observed, indicating a repression of HES-1 expression...
The burden of back pain : evaluation of costs and health outcomes
(2020-11-27)
significant improvements in health outcomes (back pain-related functional limitation, pain intensity, and health-related quality of life) from a 4-week treatment with chiropractic care for patients with non-specific acute or chronic back pain. There were...
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 ...
