Significance of polymorphisms in human xenobiotic metabolising enzymes
(2002-12-20)
Cigarette smoke is the primary cause of lung cancer but urban air pollution and certain occupational exposures have also been found to elevate the incidence of lung cancer. These exposures contain polycyclic aromatic ...
Pharmacogenetics of drug metabolizing enzymes with special emphasis on Ethiopians
(2003-02-14)
Pharmacogenetics of drug metabolising enzymes has been well studied in Caucasians and Asians, but relatively little in Africans. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the molecular genetics of drug metabolising enzymes, ...
Trinucleotide repeats and neuropsychiatric phenotypes

loci. CTG18.1 expansions were more frequently seen in patients as compared to healthy individuals (odds ratio 2.6-2.8), and their size correlated inversely with age-of-onset. The allele distribution at ERDA1 was not significantly different between...

at the NICU. The test design was the same in the two studies.
The WPPSI-R results of the VLBW children fell well within the normal range: WPPSI-R full scale (FSIQ) 95.7, verbal subscale (VIQ) 99.9 and 91.6 for the performance subscale (PIQ).The term born...
Local recurrence after breast conserving surgery in breast cancer
(2002-08-30)
population-based cohort of 6,613 women. The prognosis differed notably between the different subgroups of breast recurrences, the subgroups being defined by time to and location of recurrence. Radiotherapy prevented or delayed the appearance of a local...
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 ...
The importance of Escherichia coli fimbriae in urinary tract infection
(2001-11-16)
Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a major bacterial infectious disease among women. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli is the most dominant causative agent. Clinical observations indicate that repeated cystitis induces a ...
Severe hypoxemia during apnea in humans : influence of cardiovascular responses
(2002-09-13)
When a diving human holds his or her breath, the heart beat slows and the blood vessels constrict in large portions of the body. In diving mammals such as seals, similar responses effectively conserve oxygen for the brain, ...
Nursing documentation in clinical practice : instrument development and evaluation of a comprehensive intervention programme
(2002-09-27)
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyse effects of a two-year comprehensive intervention concerning nursing documentation in patient records when using the VIPS model - a model designed to structure nursing ...
