Imaging of soft tissue tumors
(2003-09-19)
The aim of this project on soft tissue tumors, was to evaluate existing imaging methods and test new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences for diagnosis and assessment of cytotoxic therapy and to relate the imaging ...
Trauma, ethnicity and posttraumatic stress disorder in outpatient psychiatry
(2003-10-01)
, who perceived that their traumas had been sufficiently addressed in treatment, had significantly better outcome than other patients with traumas. This was demonstrated by high self-rated health (OR= 8.0) and low scores on the Self-Inventory for PTSD...
Ultraviolet radiation and cornea
(2002-03-01)
Background: Acute exposure of the mammalian eye to UVR results in development of photokeratitis after a period of a few hours. Chronic exposure to UVR is associated with an increased risk of several corneal disorders, ...
Osäkra 'sjukdomar' – dilemman och möjligheter : kvinnliga 'patienters' och läkares erfarenheter av kroniskt trötthetssyndrom och fibromyalgi
(2003-08-08)
This thesis focuses on women with chronic fatigue syndrome (M) and fibromyalgia and how they depict their illness experience. Physicians' experiences of these patient groups have also been examined. This thesis is appropriated ...
HMBG1 as a proinflammatory mediator in arthritis
(2003-05-02)
Proinflammatory cytokines are central in the pathogenesis of chronic arthritis and a new generation of therapeutics blocking TNF or IL-1 has improved outcome for many patients with inflammatory joint diseases. This thesis ...
Regulation of cytokine receptors and activity markers in eosinophilic inflammatory processes
(2002-05-16)
The eosinophil is an important effector cell in allergic inflammation and asthma and an increased number of eosinophils and eosinophil-derived cytotoxic proteins have been found in blood and airways of allergic patients. ...
Targeted CD52 therapy in lymphoid malignancies : a clinical and immunological study
(2003-01-17)
NHL received alemtuzumab as i.v. infusions (30 mg tiw). The 0 R rate was 20%; marked anti-tumor effects were observed in blood (CR 94%) and bone marrow (CR 32% and PR 24%). At the time of initiating this study, antiviral and antibacterial prophylaxis...
Dynamics of MHC class 1 recognition by natural killer cells : from receptor modulation to ligand acquisition
(2002-05-17)
Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune system and can kill tumor cells and virus-infected cells without prior sensitization or clonal expansion. NK cells do not, in contrast to T and B cells, express any ...
Experimental studies on effects of orthodontic forces in generation of immune responses : possible roles for immunoregulating molecules in the control of alveolar bone remodeling
(2004-08-05)
The transformation of orthodontic forces to periodontal tissues involves
several biological mechanisms, which ultimately result in bone
remodelling. It has been suggested that the immune system plays a role in
the ...
