Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
Atherosclerosis and restenosis are driven by chronic immune response in the vascular wall. This involves cell migration into and within the vessel wall, cell proliferation as well as accumulation of lipids in the vessel ...
Functional studies of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 gene
(2004-10-22)
The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1, OMIM 131 100) syndrome is
an autosomal dominant trait with a near 100% penetrance and with an
estimated prevalence of 2-20/100 000. The syndrome is characterized by
neoplasia affecting the parathyroid...
Diagnostic methods in helicobacter pylori infection : development, evaluation and application
(2006-11-30)
. The sensitivity and specificity was 93% and 100% respectively. The Heliprobe test results displayed 100% concordance with the in-house UBT. The in-house ELISA showed a significantly better performance if based on local strains. Due to lower antibody titres...
Giardiasis in Leon, Nicaragua : prevalence and protection

hospital Stockholm years 2002-2003.
Paper I. Two hundred women with a history of suspect PROM after 34 weeks gestation were selected for determination of lactate concentrations in vaginal fluid. In 100 of these cases, actim PROM testTM were also analyzed...
Resistance to antiviral drugs in HIV and HBV
(2005-02-18)
method was robust and simple and allowed analysis of problematic clinical samples, e.g. samples with low viral load and with divergent genetic subtypes. Our evaluation indicated that the assay could be used on samples with low virus load (> 100 RNA copies...
Evaluation of isovolumic myocardial motions in human subjects using tissue velocity echocardiography
(2006-03-17)
variables was studied and varied between 5-12% (CV).
The temporal resolution should at least 100 frames/s for a proper rendering of the myocardial velocity variables during the entire cardiac cycle. Increased temporal filter width affected the results...
Adult neurogenesis : from stem cell to functional neuron
(2005-05-06)
The adult mammalian central nervous system harbors a population of neural
stem cells with the ability to generate neurons, astrocytes and
oligodendrocytes. These pluripotent cells can be enriched in vitro, and
by directing ...

Urothelial cell culturing : in vitro and in vivo studies in reconstructive pediatric surgery
(2004-11-26)
In Pediatric Surgery many malformations present underdevelopment of
tissues and organs. When surgical treatment is needed, the reconstruction
can sometimes be restricted because of shortage of tissue for the repair.
Tissue ...
