(2003-08-15)
The aim of this study was to study nitric oxide (NO) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with a special reference to disease activity and disease location, in bolls an adult and a pediatric patient population, using rectal ...
Clinical, histopathologic and genetic diagnosis in osteogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta
(2004-01-23)
The aims of this thesis were to investigate (1) dental aberrations in a large sample of unrelated patients with different types and forms of OI, (2) degree of dentin dysplasia in relation to type and form of OI and clinical, radiographic...

(2003-04-04)
A family-centred, developmentally supportive approach to newborn intensive care, referred to as the Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) has attracted considerable interest in recent ...
Isolation and characterization of regulatory peptides and bioactive compounds
(2004-04-28)
Isolation of peptides and other bioactive compounds is an important and often necessary step to get the total information about their structures. This is demonstrated by a number of different characterizations in this ...
The relation of blood pressure to dementia in the elderly : a community-based longitudinal study
(2004-01-09)
baseline survey (1987-1989), the cohort was
followed for over 6 years, during which 2 waves of clinical examinations
(1991-1993 & 1994-1996) for dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (DSM-III-R

Analysis of viral and cellular gene expression patterns in cells latently infected with EBV by suppression subtractive hybridization
(2003-10-31)
. Combining DOP-PCR with SSH enabled us to perform subtraction hybridization on cDNAs isolated from resting B cells and on its freshly (2-week) EBV-infected counterpart. The identified differentially expressed genes were confirmed by ratio PCR and a novel...

To prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes, it is important to avoid body fatness, to remain physically active and to maintain aerobic fitness. It is also important to maintain a certain level of muscular strength...
Evaluation of the deoxyribonucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster (Dm-dNK) as a suicide gene for treatment of solid tumors
(2002-05-16)
Nucleoside kinases from several species are investigated as "suicide genes" for treatment of malignant tumors. The transfer of the gene encoding herpes simplex virus type-1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK) into malignant cells ...
