Neuromechanical control of the spine
(2003-05-23)
Control of the spine is complex. The spine is inherently unstable and dependent on the contribution of muscles. Yet there is considerable redundancy in the motor system with many muscles that act on the trunk.

Affective disorders in a stress-vulnerability perspective : a clinical, biological and psycho-social study
(2002-11-15)
of hospitalization during a three-year follow-up had a significantly higher level of harm avoidance, a higher level of interpersonal problems, and a lower level of sense of coherence.
In summary, the results of this thesis suggest that: (1) genetic factors play a...
The importance of Escherichia coli fimbriae in urinary tract infection
(2001-11-16)
adhesion in vitro to cultured human urogenital cells in both light microscopy and flow cytometry analyses. The PapG class II positive DS17 and JR1 adhered avidly, while the two mutants lacking PapG class II did not. We were able to inhibit adhesion with a...
Perinatal HIV-1 infection : aspects on clinical presentation, viral dynamics and epidemiology
(2004-09-15)
During the last 20 years HIV-1 infection has changed from being an
unknown disease to being a widespread pandemic, in some areas affecting a
large proportion of the human population. Mother-to-child transmission
(MTCT) ...
Minimally invasive hernia surgery
(2003-04-25)
Minimally invasive laparoscopic and open tension-free techniques have been evolved during the 1990's. Different laparoscopic techniques have been used, where the totally extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) is a technically ...
Extrahepatic cytochrome P450s : relation to cancer susceptibility
(2003-09-19)
in 15 samples and found enzymes involved in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens, steroid hormones and drugs. A large interindividual variation in the expression of CYP1A1, 2A6, 2B6, 2D6 and 3A were shown whereas CYP1B1, 2C, 2E 1, 4A and 19...
Paracrine regulation of Sertoli cell proliferation
(2003-02-14)
-1alpha (IL-alpha), which is constitutively produced by the adult testis. Immature rat testis produced a Sertoli cell growth stimulating factor(s) in the 45 kDa size range that still remains to be identified. The recombinant pro-inflammatory cytokines...
Sacroiliac pain-provocation testing in physiotherapy : time and force recording
(2004-08-27)
Introduction: Some of the tests used for examining pain arising from the
sacroiliac region are intended to provoke pain by using manually applied
forces. Previous reliability and validity studies of sacroiliac
pain-provocation ...
Immunofluorescence studies on the cell cycle expression of cyclin A and cyclin E
(2004-04-07)
by phosphorylating a range of target proteins appropriate for the cell cycle phase in which the cyclin-CDK complex is active. Cyclin E-CDK2 is active in late G1 and phosphorylates proteins central to the progression through late G1 and entry into S-phase. Cyclin A...
Immunological effects of interferon-beta and glatiramer acetate in multiple sclerosis
(2004-05-06)
(ELISA), we found that DCs from MS patients expressed higher levels of CD 1a and produced lower amounts of interleukin-10 (IL-10) than DCs from healthy controls (HCs). IFN-beta or GA upregulated HLA-DR and CD86, and reduced CD 1a expression on DCs from...
