Intravasal microdialysis as a novel technique to monitor metabolism in myocardial ischemia and critical illness
(2003-05-07)
Rapid detection of post-operative myocardial ischemia is of great value in the treatment of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. With the methods readily available in modem thoracic intensive care units post-operative ...
In vitro studies of retinoids and arsenic in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia
(2002-11-08)
, we have investigated what mechanisms that could be of importance for the sensitivity to these drugs. The results showed that there is a pronounced heterogeneity in the sensitivity to the retinoids all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) and 9-cis-RA but cells...

(2002-11-27)
factors for preterm birth. Perinatal death occurred in 5.4% and 9.7% delivered SGA newborns. The obstetric cohort monitored provided valuable baseline data to be used as reference.
To create an alternative syphilis screening among pregnant women two...
Molecular markers and new techniques in the evaluation of colorectal cancer
(2002-05-17)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked in the Western world as the third leading cause of death from malignant tumors. Despite improvements in early detection of the disease, new surgical techniques and adjuvant and neoadjuvant ...
Haemodynamic and ventilatory effects of laparoscopic surgery
(2004-01-23)
Background: It has been shown repeatedly that the establishment of pneumoperitoneum (PP) is associated with increased cardiac filling pressures, as well as increased blood pressure and systemic vascular resistance. Patients ...
Insulin resistance, genetic variation and cytokines : associations to myocardial infarction risk
(2003-10-17)
Insulin resistance, inflammation and associated genes are considered as factors of potential importance for the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, but their relationship to myocardial infarction (MI) and associated ...
A fibrinogen-binding protein from Staphylococcus epidermidis
(2001-11-09)
Staphylococcus epidermidis, a coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS), is a major component of human flora. It is one of the leading pathogens of nosocomial infections, particularly associated with foreign body infections. ...
The biological mechanisms in neutrophil and eosinophil adhesion and transmigration in vitro and theur relation to the inflammatory process in vivo
(2001-12-28)
In inflammatory reactions, eosinophils and neutrophils constitute the
major classes of granulocytes that emigrate from the bloodstream into the
tissues. The recruitment of inflammatory cells constitutes a multi-step
process ...
Neuromuscular performance and balance during the menstrual cycle and the influence of premenstrual symptoms
(2004-08-20)
Several studies have demonstrated a higher incidence of sports related knee injuries among female athletes compared to their male counterparts regardless of exposure time and activity level. Different intrinsic and extrinsic ...
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 ...
