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 ...
HIV-1 phenotype and genetic variation in vertical transmission
(2006-01-20)
, and was hence not the directly contributing cause of AIDS. In the second study, we wanted to examine the phenotypes in mother-child pairs. A statistically significant link was found between the presence of X4 in the mothers and the development of X4...
Pain and physical activity in rheumatoid arthritis : a cognitive approach in physical therapy
(2005-05-06)
A gradual shift towards more active patient involvement has taken place during the past few decades. It is thus important for physical therapists to understand individuals’ cognitive appraisals of health states. Patients ...
The analgesic mechanisms of buprenorphine
(2006-01-13)
Buprenorphine, a derivative of thebaine, is a semi-synthetic opiate and a partial p-opioid receptor agonist. Buprenorphine is also a weak kappa-opioid receptor antagonist. Buprenorphine is used clinically as an analgesic ...

-system. Between 1991 and 1999, 371 patients were treated with TUMT at Karolinska Hospital, Sweden. Seventy-six percent of the patients subjectively benefited from the TUMT treatment and 22 %judged they were fully cured. IPSS and Quality of Life score decreased...
Hidden Markov models for remote protein homology detection
(2005-12-23)
Genome sequencing projects are advancing at a staggering pace and are daily producing large amounts of sequence data. However, the experimental characterization of the encoded genes and proteins is lagging far behind. ...
Study of serotonin, innervation and sensory neuropeptides in allergic contact dermatitis
(2005-08-17)
In a murine model of contact allergy, 24 h after challenge with antigen, increased axonal growth using an antibody to growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) was seen in the epidermis and dermis of eczematous skin. Protein ...
Estrogen and liver X receptors in human disease
(2006-11-10)
pathophysiological conditions in which the NRs are involved. Four NRs, the estrogen receptors (ERs) α and β, and liver X receptors (LXRs) α and β, are studied in this thesis. The ERs have been implicated in several human diseases such as breast cancer, osteoporosis...
