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 ...
Giardiasis in Leon, Nicaragua : prevalence and protection
(2006-11-20)
of stool samples, we found G. intestinalis cysts in 15.9 % of the tested material. Giardia was most prevalent in the youngest age group, close to 30 % in children less than 5 years old. The presence of the parasite could be correlated to poor socioeconomic...

(2005-11-25)
Introduction: Cognitive dysfunction and dementia are linked to physical
disability and are the major cause of dependency and institutionalization
in the elderly. Physical therapists deal with disability yet little
clinical ...
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease and dementia in the general population : results from the Kungsholmen project
(2004-09-08)
This doctoral thesis investigates early predictors of Alzheimer's disease
(AD) and dementia in the general population, and verifies the accuracy of
different syndromes of cognitive impairment for predicting progression ...
Immune reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
(2004-11-05)
. The decreased IGF-1R RNA expression coincided with the expansion of T cells and activated T cells have previously been demonstrated to express low levels of IGF-1R. Therefore, we analyzed the expression of IGF-1R RNA in CD4 positive and CD8 positive T cells...
Application of nuclear medicine methods in patients with breast cancer
(2005-04-29)
While physical examination, mammography and aspiration cytology or core biopsy form the basis in the diagnosis of breast cancer, additional examinations are sometimes required in the evaluation of unclear breast masses. ...

Prediction of function shift in protein families
(2006-08-14)
With the availability of a large number of complete genome sequences, it has become essential to annotate the protein sequences derived from them as precisely as possible. Even though presently available computational ...
Genetic association analysis of overlapping biological pathways in cardiovascular and Alzheimer disease
(2006-05-26)
To gain insight into the importance of the genome for diseases, sequencing and genotyping efforts aim to identify the consequences of genetic variation on both a functional and population level. The task involves the ...
Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in hematological malignancies
(2005-05-27)
Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of the fatty acid
arachidonic acid (AA). After liberation of AA by phospholipase A 2 (PLA
2), this fatty acid can be converted to leukotrienes, lipoxins,
prostaglandins ...
