(2006-10-06)
The aim of this thesis was to describe how early triadic interaction between the newborn child and its mother and father begins, develops, and matures over the child's first 4 years of life. Systemic family theory and ...
Tobacco smoking and vertical periodontal bone loss
(2005-05-18)
. The impact of water pipe smoking was of the same magnitude as that of cigarette smoking and the relative risk associated with water pipe smoking was 6-fold increased compared to non-smoking. In addition, the risk of vertical defects increased with increased...
Perinatal and familial risk factors of youth suicidal behaviour
(2005-10-28)
study design in Study II and III, including 713,370 individuals in Study II and 318,953 males in Study III. In paper IV all individuals, who were born 1968-80 and who had attempted suicide (14,440 cases) until 1999 were matched for gender, county...
Synthesis of indole and oxindole derivates incorporating pyrrolidino, pyrrolo or imidazolo moieties
(2004-11-26)
-chloroacrylonitrile yielded, after expulsion of HCN by refluxing in ethanol, 1-benzyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindole. Formylation and benzylimine formation followed by treatment with TosMIC furnished the desired 2-imidazolyltetrahydroindole....
Muscle protein synthesis : effects of metabolic stress and feeding
(2005-04-29)
Surgical trauma and critical illness are pathophysiological conditions where the metabolic stress leads to an imbalance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown, resulting in a net loss of body proteins. A major ...
Molecular studies of complications in end stage renal disease : focus on expression and variations of candidate susceptibility genes
(2005-09-09)
) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are highly elevated in ESRD patients and predict mortality in both healthy and uremic individuals. Hence putative SNPs that may regulate plasma levels of these proteins were investigated (IL-6 SNPs: -597G/A, -174G/C, 5014A...
In vivo protein synthesis determinations in human immune cells
(2005-02-18)
in the isolated T lymphocytes of healthy volunteers was 13.6 ± 0.9 %/24 h and was not affected by a 6-h cortisol infusion, either immediately after the end of the infusion or 18 h later. In contrast, a combined stress hormone infusion (cortisol, epinephrine...
Pituitary autoantibodies in endocrine disorders
(2005-09-30)
by immunoblotting. Reactivity to a M, 49 000 pituitary autoantigen was significantly more frequent in patients with idiopathic pituitary hormone deficiency (6/21 (28%) p< 0.05) as well as their relatives (10/35 (28%) p<0.02) compared to control subjects (3/44 (6...

obese. The total prevalence accordingly being 20.1% (95% CI: 18.3% to 22.0%). This sample proved to be heterogeneous concerning overweight status. When obesity and overweight were combined the highest prevalence (26.6%, 95% CI: 21.2 to 32.7) was found...
Cellular and molecular mechanisms in abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rapture
(2005-11-11)
Fragmentation of elastin, loss of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and accumulation of inflammatory cells are the histological landmarks of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In larger aneurysms, an intraluminal thrombus is almost ...
