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 ...
Ancestral influences on health of grandchildren
(2005-03-22)
The late effects in adulthood of nutrition during adolescence, childhood, infancy, and the fetal and embryonic stages of development have attracted much attention in research, but less so the time of development of the ...
Biological aspects of synovial fluid mediated aseptic prosthesis loosening
(2005-08-26)
Aseptic prosthesis loosening is the most common reason for late failure of total hip arthroplasties. Resorption of the peri-prosthetic bone, resulting in a loose prosthesis is characteristic for aseptic loosening. The ...
Exhaled nitric oxide : influence of mechanical ventilation and vasoactive agents
(2004-11-12)
Nitric oxide (NO) is produced at various locations within the respiratory
tract and is present in exhaled breath. It is firmly established that the
levels of NO in exhaled air are increased in inflammatory disorders ...
Genital and urinary tract infections in pregnancy in southern India : diagnosis, management and impact om perinatal outcome
(2004-11-24)
, CRP levels in cord
blood and neonatal blood at 24 hrs were estimated in two groups of
neonates, one at risk of developing infection and the other at low risk
of infection.
Results: Prevalence of C trachomatis infection was 3.3% and this
infection...
Development of AIDS associated and endemic Kaposi sarcoma : HHV-8/KSHV viral load in cutaneous and oral tumor cells
(2006-09-05)
and late KS, suggesting a continuous recruitment of noninfected endothelial cell into the KS lesion; (c) LANA+/CD34- cells decrease from early 18.7% to late 29% and most of them expressed LEC markers such as LYVE-1 and D2-40, suggesting that the resident...
Effect of body posture on regional ventilation and perfusion at normal and increased gravity
(2006-10-20)
supine and redistribution of blood flow is not the primary cause of arterial desaturation at 3 G. Gravity redistributes regional blood flow and ventilation when upright, while the influence is less in the supine and prone postures. Moreover, a change...
Microdialysis as a tool for the management of diabetes mellitus
(2005-05-27)
Comparing the effect of different microdialysis flow rates (0.3, 1, 2 and 5 µL/min) on the interstitial metabolites measured in subcutis we found that at the basal fasting state the dialysate glucose obtained by 0.3 µL/min was equal to capillary glucose...
Bad breath : prevalence, periodontal disease, microflora and inflammatory markers
(2005-03-29)
Bad breath usually originates within the oral cavity and is believed to be associated with periodontal disease. The over all aim of the present thesis was to study periodontal conditions in subjects with bad breath as well ...
Viridans group streptococci septicaemia and endocarditis : molecular diagnostics, antibiotic susceptibility and cinical aspects
(2005-04-27)
Viridans group streptococci (VGS) are inhabitants in the oral cavity and in the gastrointestinal tract. They cause severe infections, they are responsible for up to 39 % of the cases of septicaemia in neutropenic patients ...
