(2005-03-22)
. This indicates the existence of an inheritance with the sex-specific patterns of transmission suggesting a direct role for the Y chromosome and possible the X chromosome.
Finally, the transgenerational sex-specific paternal grandpaternal/ grandchild effects...
Patient-orientated aspects of the postoperative course after hernia surgery
(2006-09-01)
Operations for inguinal hernia are one of the most common surgical procedures performed. With the development of mesh techniques, recurrence rates have improved radically and patient-orientated endpoints have evolved as ...
Physical activity, body composition and physical self esteem among children and adolescents
(2005-02-25)
The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity poses a global health problem. Special concern is focused on overweight during youth since it may cause negative impact on health both during childhood, adolescence and ...
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 ...
Safety limit estimation for cataract induced by ultraviolet radiation
(2005-08-12)
Background: Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is considered one of the major risk factors for agerelated cataract. UVR-induced cataract follows a continuous dose-response function. The concepts maximum acceptable dose (MAD) and ...
Genomics and bioinformatics approaches to functional gene annotation
(2006-02-02)
Biomedical research has been undergoing a quasi-revolution with the dawn of the genomics era. The flood of sequence data from the various genome projects, the task of cataloging the entire coding portion of a genome instead ...
Inflammatory status in adolescents : the impact of health determinants such as overweight and fitness
(2006-03-07)
Overweight prevalences are rising among youth and the prevention of associated chronic diseases is priority concern in public health. Inflammatory processes are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and ...

Treated waste effluents with low levels of chemical and microbiological contents are used for domestic, industrial, agricultural and aquacultural purposes worldwide, and it is estimated that one tenth or more of the world’s ...
Characterization of ERp29 : a novel secretion factor of endoplasmic reticulum
(2005-04-29)
ERp29 is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum protein strongly
conserved in mammalian species. The N-terminal domain of ERp29 is similar
to the thioredoxin domain of protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) lacking
however ...
Induction of t-cell responses against PSA by plasmid DNA immunization
(2005-05-20)
This thesis is focused on using plasmid DNA encoding human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for immunotherapy of prostate cancer. PSA is a secreted serine protease, which is produced almost exclusively by prostate epithelial ...
