Health risk assessment of dioxin-like compounds in complex samples
(2003-10-10)
There are several scientific as well as political and economic reasons why the risk assessment of dioxins in complex samples needs to be further refined. Today, there seems to be no margin of safety between doses that cause ...
Epidemiological studies of stillbirth and early neonatal death
(2002-02-15)
, two controls were randomly selected, matched by year and hospital of birth. Prospectively collected information from antenatal, obstetric and neonatal records was retrieved for 702 cases and 702 controls (retrieval rate, 97% and 96%, respectively...
Glucocorticoid administration : studies on weight regulation and metabolic implications
(2003-09-05)
Long-term treatment with glucocorticoids induces weight gain and increased risk to develop obesity-related metabolic complications like insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Glucocorticoids have ...
Blood saving in orthopaedic surgery
(2002-05-10)
that amino acid infusion in the perioperative period reduces the fall in body core temperature and that the blood loss is reduced during surgery for THR, 516 (272) all in the amino-acid group and 702 (344) rill controls, p<0.05. The reason for reduced blood...
Effects of anabolic hormone treatment in elderly patients with hip fracture
(2001-11-15)
The principal aims of these studies were to investigate the status of hip fracture patients regarding BMD, body composition and some nutritional factors at the time of the fracture and changes in these variables during the ...
p57Kip2, a glucocorticoid-induced CDK inhibitor, involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation
(2003-01-10)
Glucocorticoids (GCs), are steroid hormones with several important physiological implications, of which some are connected with the ability of GCs to inhibit cell proliferation. Although GC treatment normally accumulates ...
Bone and kidney effects from cadmium exposure : dose effect and dose response relationships
(2002-10-18)
Cadmium is a heavy metal that has been dispersed in the environment during the last century due to human activity. It is well known that high cadmium exposure causes renal damage and in severe cases also osteoporosis and ...
Murine polyomavirus VP1 virus-like particles as vectors for gene therapy and as vaccines against polyomavirus infection and tumors
(2004-05-21)
Murine polyomavirus (MPyV) is a double stranded DNA virus ubiquitous in mice. The virus genome encodes for three transforming antigens that interact with the host cell machinery in order to initiate viral production. The ...
Growth factors in spermatogenesis
(2003-05-16)
The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge of die effects of locally produced growth factors and hormones on germ cell proliferation in rat testis in vitro. Since impaired sperm production and function accounts ...
Characterization and modelling of CEACAM1 interactions in cell signalling
(2004-03-12)
CEACAM1, CEACAM6, and CEACAM8, whereas human B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes expressed only CEACAM1 and CEACAM6. Whereas granulocytes, B cells, and T cells from mice and rats expressed both CEACAM1-L and CEACAM1-S in ratios of 2.2 2.9:1, CEACAM1-S...
