Determinants of long term course in bipolar disorder
(2010-05-14)
Introduction: Bipolar disorder (BP) is a common and severe psychiatric
illness with a high variability. An early treatment is often crucial for
a good prognosis, but it is difficult for clinicians to define high ...
Genetic content of clinical pneumococcal isolates and its relation to disease outcome
(2009-09-30)
differing in up to two MLST alleles and belonging to the same clonal complex clustered together using microarray data. Hence the method of MLST, measuring differences in 7 house-keeping genes, correlates well with genetic content as determined by microarray...
Storage and transfusion of platelets : in vitro and in vivo studies in healthy volunteers and in allogeneic hemapoetic progenitor cell transplant recipents
(2009-03-13)
Early studies in the 1960´s showed that platelet (PLT) transfusions
significantly reduced the incidence of fatal hemorrhages. Together with
the advances in the hematology and transplantation field, easily
accessible ...
Clinical and pathogenic aspects of otitis media
(2010-05-14)
activities in the adenoid during otitis media with effusion (OME), focusing on Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the nitric oxide (NO) inducing enzymes eNOS and iNOS. TLR4, TLR7, eNOS and iNOS mRNA and protein could be demonstrated in all adenoids tested...
Drug treatment in children with focus on off-label drug use
(2010-08-06)
There is a lack of paediatric documentation concerning efficacy and
safety of many drugs, which contribute to drug use outside the terms of the product license (off-label). In the present thesis, four studies (I-IV), using ...
Mechanism of pure glucose-dependent insulinotropic activity of a novel imidazoline compound BL11282
(2008-05-01)
We developed a novel, pure glucose-dependent, insulinotropic imidazoline compound, BL11282, which directly affects the insulin exocytotic machinery and does not block the KATP channel activity. BL11282 does not induce ...
Peripheral venous catheters : quality of care assessment
(2009-12-31)
About half of the patients admitted to hospitals receive intravenous
therapy through peripheral venous catheters (PVCs). Unfortunately, the
use of PVCs is associated with the risk of complications that may lead to
increased ...
Mutations and molecular signatures in human melanoma
(2010-02-05)
of cytoplasmic activation of ERK were independent prognostic markers. BRAF mutations were markers of worse survival in the presence of ulceration. In familial primary melanomas, NRAS and BRAF mutations were found in 3 samples (16%) and 7 samples (37...
A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(2008-09-19)
The most common cause of OSAS in children is enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids. Consequently, the treatment for OSAS in children with enlarged tonsils and/or adenoids is adeno-/tonsillectomy. The prevalence of OSAS in ...
