The role of simulation technology for skills acquisition in image guided surgery
(2005-04-13)
Technical proficiency is an essential ingredient in surgical competence, which has hitherto been poorly evaluated. The introduction of disruptive technology into the Operating Room (OR) with respect to operative procedures ...
Modulation of the HPA axis alters the sensitivity of the cochlea to acoustic trauma
(2006-10-27)
The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA axis) regulates nearly all neuroendocrine responses of the body. An active HPA axis is crucial to maintaining homeostasis. An altered reactivity of the HPA axis can affect several ...
Alterations in activity and specificity of intracellular proteolysis in disease pathogenesis
(2005-05-17)
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) plays a fundamental role in many basic cellular processes. Virtually all events in cellular physiology include control by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Ubiquitinated substrates ...
Anxiety, exhaustion and depression in relation to periodontal diseases
(2006-03-10)
Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis), are inflammatory processes of the gingiva and supporting structures of the teeth induced by a microbial biofilm. In periodontitis this inflammatory process causes tissue ...
The post-polio syndrome : studies of immunology and immunomodulatory intervention
(2005-09-02)
Late effects in patients with prior poliomyelitis were first reported in the nineteenth century and have been referred to as the post-polio syndrome (PPS). PPS is characterized by new muscular deterioration, fatigue and ...
Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after moderate neonatal encephalopathy and after post-term birth : two population-based studies
(2006-03-17)
Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome in two population-based groups of children with different perinatal events was studied: A) Children born at term with moderate neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and B) children born post-term ...
Safety limit estimation for cataract induced by ultraviolet radiation
(2005-08-12)
difference between young and old rats does not depend on age-related anatomic differences (study III). With varying exposure times (7.5, 15, 30, 60, or 120 minutes), it was found that there was a lowest threshold dose at 15 minutes of UVR-B exposure (study IV...
In vivo protein synthesis determinations in human immune cells
(2005-02-18)
was higher compared with T lymphocytes, mononuclear cells and leukocytes separated from peripheral blood in these subjects, having in vivo protein synthesis rates of 10.7 ± 3.4 %/24 h, 10.8 ± 2.8 %/24 h and 3.2 ± %/24 h, respectively. Alterations...
Genetic studies of follicular and mantle cell lymphoma
(2005-04-22)
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a malignancy derived from lymphoid tissues. In Sweden, non-Hodgkin lymphoma constituted 3% of all cancers recorded in 2003. Follicular and mantle cell lymphoma are the two types of non-Hodgkin ...
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 ...
