Neuropeptides, sensory neurons and pain modulation
(2005-08-26)
In the present thesis work we have analyzed the expression, regulation and function of two neuropeptides: galanin and neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY). Their associated receptors, galanin receptor-1 and -2 (GaIR1, -R2) and NPY ...
Patellar tendinopathy : on evaluation methods and rehabilitation techniques
(2006-10-27)
Background: Patellar tendinopathy is an increasingly common overuse and degenerative injury for recreational and elite athletes. The management of this injury is often difficult and frustrating and the treatment may take ...
Ribavirin : dose and concentration in treatment of chronic hepatitis C infected patients
(2005-04-29)
viral response was achieved more often in patients with ribavirin concentration above the median concentration of 8.7µM, than below the median. Data are suggesting that higher ribavirin concentrations may lead to better treatment response in genotype 1...
Health related lifestyle habits of Swedish schoolchildren : studies on knowledge, conception and behaviour
(2006-05-26)
Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the effects of the health education programme "An adventure with Pelle Pump". Further the aim was to provide knowledge of importance for the development of future programmes ...
Cell damage and tissue repair in the central nervous system : electron mi[c]roscopy study of neuronal death and cell replacement
(2005-03-10)
The central nervous system is vulnerable to various insults and
particularly to ischemia. To mimic ischemia, a photochemical or
compression lesion was induced in the right sensory motor cortex of rat
brains. We studied ...
Tobacco smoking and periodontal health in a Saudi Arabian population
(2005-09-23)
of periodontal bone loss of more than 30% of the root length was 3.5-fold and 4.3-fold elevated in water pipe and cigarette smokers, respectively, compared to non-smokers (p < 0.01). The relative risk associated with heavy smoking was 7.5-fold elevated in water...
Mechanisms of resistance to ciprofloxacin in Neisseria gonorrhoeae
(2006-04-07)
A few years ago, most strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, but after introduction as a first line therapy, resistant strains emerged. Ciprofloxacin inhibit two enzymes necessary for DNA ...
Physical activity in rheumatoid arthritis
(2006-04-28)
Physical activity confers health benefits in the general population and should also be applied to people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, there is a need for more research in this area. The aim of this thesis was ...
Hidden Markov models for remote protein homology detection
(2005-12-23)
genomes we predicted 120 sequences that lacked previous annotation as possible GPCRs. The majority of these predictions (102) were in C. elegans, but also 4 were found in human and 7 in mouse....
Cell cycle control by components of cell anchorage
(2005-08-05)
Extracellular factors, such as growth factors and cell anchorage to the extracellular matrix, control when and where cells may proliferate. This control is abolished when a normal cell transforms into a tumour cell. The ...
