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 ...
Telephone support for smoking cessation : the Swedish example
(2005-11-11)
professionals 3.5 (1.0-12.3), additional social support 3.1 (1.6-6.1), absence of stress or depressive mood 2.7 (1.6-4.7), nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for five weeks or more 2.1 (1.1-4.1), and no exposure to second-hand smoke 1.9 (1.1-3.3). High intensity...
The epidemiology of low back pain in the general population and after motor vehicle collisions : population-based investigations
(2004-11-23)
adults. Drivers making claims for rear-end
collisions were divided into those with whiplash (n=232) and those
without (n=204). Drivers that had not been involved in a collision were
randomly selected as the reference (n=3,688). The relative risks...
Synthesis and evaluation of new PET radioloigands for imaging central norepinephrine transporters
(2006-04-28)
of the most potent and selective NET inhibitors reported to date were prepared and labeled with carbon- 11 (t1/2 20.4 min) or fluorine- 18 (t1/2 109.8 min). Some improvements were also made with regards to the labelling of aryl fluoromethyl ethers and sulfides...
Maternal morbidity in Uganda : studies on life-threatening pregnancy complications in low-income settings

Results: HIV infection was not found to correlate with the risk for PAEM,
HIV-1 seroprevalence 17 (32.7%) among women with PAEM and 38 (36.5%)

Aspects of hepatoduodenal trauma and fluid therapy in hemorrhagic shock
(2006-05-26)
Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death among young adults and children, accounting for 5 million deaths worldwide on an annual basis. In Sweden alone, 2500 individuals succumb to traumatic injuries yearly. Beyond ...
Expression of the glucose-6-phosphatase system in endocrine cells
(2006-05-26)
Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pase) is a multi-component enzyme system, which regulates the catalysis of gluco se-6 -phosphate (G6P) to glucose and inorganic phosphate. This reaction constitutes the final steps of both ...
A Y-box protein/RNA helicase complex links mRNP assembly on the gene to mRNA translation
(2006-08-25)
Immediately upon transcription, messenger RNA molecules become associated with proteins to form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes, usually called mRNP particles. The mRNPs are the actual targets for regulation and dictate ...
Studies on the mechanism of regulation of bile acid synthesis in humans with some aspects on genetic factors
(2005-10-28)
In the present investigation we studied human bile acid synthesis and its regulation both in vivo and in vitro and also evaluated a possible influence of polymorphisms in the CYP7A1 and CYP8B1 genes on bile acid synthesis in vivo. The following...
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 ...
