Quantitative EEG analysis : temporal variability and clinical applications
(2005-09-30)
time course in resting conditions, and the relationship between the spectral parameters and the length of the analysed segments. Recordings were performed in 57 normal subjects, with a protocol consisting of regular cycles with open eyes (5 s) followed...
Ethyl glucuronide : a new biochemical marker for acute alcohol intake : studies on possible causes for false-negative or false-positive results
(2006-02-17)
, such as ethanol, 5-hydroxytryptophol(5HTOL), ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS), and 2) tests that are able to detect chronic heavy drinking, or indicate body organ or tissue damage caused by long-term exposure to alcohol, such as carbohydrate...
Ribavirin : dose and concentration in treatment of chronic hepatitis C infected patients
(2005-04-29)
Chronic hepatitis C infection is a global health problem with 170 million patients infected. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of end stage liver disease. Current antiviral treatment options available ...
Tobacco smoking and periodontal health in a Saudi Arabian population
(2005-09-23)
effect was observed in both cigarette and water pipe smokers compared to non-smokers (Study I). Both cigarette and water pipe smoking were associated with the presence of more than 10 pockets of ¡Ý5 mm probing depth. The relative risk for periodontal...
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 ...
The ubiquitin-proteasome system during proteotoxic stress
(2006-03-31)
The dual function of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in protein quality control and as a master regulator of vital cellular processes places the system in a delicate position. This might be particularly relevant under ...
The insulin-like growth factor system : effects of circulating proteases
(2005-08-18)
proteolysis up to 5 hours post-infusion as compared to saline infusion. This finding is important if we should target the mechanisms resulting in changes in the IGF-system during inflammation. However, we cannot exclude that higher levels of IL6 (>0.1 ng/ ml...
The impact of age and gender with respect to general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and rotation : a study of 9, 12 and 15 year old students
(2005-03-25)
The overall aim of this thesis was to study the natural development of general joint laxity, shoulder joint laxity and shoulder joint rotation in young students, and compare these to age-matched competitive swimmers to ...
Health economics of depression
(2006-09-22)
51000. Depressed patients were, on average, absent from work 1.5 months during six months, which constituted 65% of the total costs for depression. Depression causes a reduction in quality of life of 50% as compared to the general population, which...
Orthology and protein domain architecture evolution
(2006-05-22)
A major factor behind protein evolution is the ability of proteins to evolve new domain architectures that encode new functions. Protein domains are widely considered to constitute the "atoms" of protein chains, acting as ...
