Cellular mechanisms of interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli and renal epithelial cells
(2002-04-12)
Urinary tract infections will often, particularly in children, lead to renal scar formation or hypoplastic small kidneys post-infectiously. The most common causative agent is uropathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli). The ...
Genetic epidemiological approaches to the study of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases
(2003-05-07)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common causes of death in most developed countries. Genetic and environmental factors influence CVD and its risk factors in a complex fashion. Parallel to this, new statistical ...
Targets for immune mediated killing of tumor cells and T cell functions in B-CLL
(2003-08-22)
investigated, upregulated the ex vivo undetectable p53 upon culture with CD40/IL4. No relation between the p53 expression and apoptosis of leukemic cells was noted. There was an inter-individual variation in the expression of Bcl-2 and phosphotyrosine proteins...
Experienced physical functioning and effects of resistance training in patients with chronic kidney disease
(2004-04-15)
Physical fitness declines as chronic kidney disease progresses, and is approximately 50% of the expected norm when starting dialysis therapy This means that physical fitness in these patients is so reduced that it impinge ...
Bile in the oesophagus contributes to the development and complications of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease
(2002-05-10)
Objective: To clarify the relationship between duodenogastro- oesophageal reflux (DGOR) and gastro- oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and its complications.
Methods: As persons who have had their gallbladders removed ...
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 ...
Effects of gravity and posture on the human lung
(2004-03-18)
subjects in whom acute lung insufficiency was induced by hypergravity. When exposing healthy subjects to 5 times normal gravity (5 G) in the human centrifuge, the arterial oxygen saturation was 84.6 + 1.2% (mean ± SEM) in the supine and 89.7 ± 1.4...
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 ...
Retinoid processing in vivo : characterization and structure-function analysis of retinol dehydrogenases
(2003-05-15)
for the role of RDH5 in 11-cis retinal synthesis was provided from mutations found in the RDH5 gene that caused fundus albipunctatus, a stationary form of night blindness. Intriguing was that both RDH4 and RDH5 enzyme domains faced the endoplasmic reticulum (ER...
In silico prediction of CIS-regulatory elements
(2004-04-19)
As one of the most fundamental processes for all life forms, transcriptional regulation remains an intriguing and challenging subject for biomedical research. Experimental efforts towards understanding the regulation of ...
