and development in relational functioning during the first year after the patients diagnosis. In a sample of 91 significant others, data was collected on four occasions. Fifty-two percent of significant others reported change in relational functioning during...
Analytical and pharmacological studies of cyclophosphamide
(2008-03-17)
-liquid extraction (LLE) and analyzed using liquid chromatography with UV detection (LC-UV). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.005 μg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/mL for LC-MS/MS. The accuracy of the quality control (QC) samples ranged from 91...
Tonsillar cancer : incidence, prevalence of HPV and survival
(2008-04-04)
Since human papilloma virus (HPV) in the mid 1980ies was first observed
in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, its role and impact,
especially on oral and oropharyngeal cancer, have attracted extensive
interest. ...
Two novel combination therapies of glioblastoma multiforme from a Cx43 perspective : studies of in vitro models
(2008-03-28)
The group of patients suffering from the malignant brain tumour
glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) have a median survival of only about one
year. Thus, new treatment strategies are urgently needed.
Gap junctions are ...
Proinflammatory factor mediated lymphocyte activation-the pivotal role of leukotriene B4
(2007-11-06)
-gamma
to the NK cell depleted cultures.
Further we demonstrated that leukotriene B4 (LTB4) was involved in the
effect of the PSK and Trx80. LTB4 was detected in the medium, and T cell
activation was compromised by addition of leukotriene biosynthesis
inhibitors...
Aspects of the role of mineral oil as immunological adjuvants in rheumatoid arthritis
(2007-02-16)
.0-1.7). Mineral oil exposure was associated with a particularly high risk of developing rheumatoid factor positive RA (RR =1.4, 95% CI =1.0-2.0) and anti-citrulline positive RA (anti-CCP+RA) (RR =1.6, 95% CI=1.1-2.2). The highest risk of developing anti- CCP...
Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular disease risk factors in children and adolescents
(2007-03-09)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) events occur most frequently during or after the fifth decade of life, however, there is evidence indicating that the precursors of CVD has its origin already in the first or second decade of ...

Icodextrin metabolism in peritoneal dialysis : clinical and experimental studies
(2007-10-19)
Icodextrin is a glucose polymer which is used as osmotic agent to provide
sustained ultrafiltration (UF) during the long (8-16 hours) dwell in
end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The
aims ...
Ultrasound, ions and combined modalities for increased local tumour cell death in radiation therapy
(2007-05-03)
In this thesis, new approaches to improve tumour therapy for patients with inoperable, radiation- and chemoresistant tumours were in focus. Ultrasound and ionising radiation, especially accelerated ions, are both non-invasive ...
