Hearing in young men : the influence of military noise and epidemiological aspects
(2010-05-06)
During compulsory military service, the hearing capacity of the
conscripts is at risk, because of exposure to continuous and impulse
noise that exceeds the threshold levels of the European Union and the
Swedish Work ...
Genome-wide patterns of histone modifications in fission yeast
(2010-01-22)
analysis of six different HDACs in fission yeast showed that Clr6 and Clr3 are mainly involved in keeping repressed genes silent; Sir2 and Hst2 repress non-expressed genes, and Hst4 acts globally to reduce gene expression, whereas Hos2 is required...

(2008-12-19)
Objective: To explore the epidemiological characteristics, the influence
on reproductive health and the genetic basis of dystocia prolonged and
difficult labour.
Material and methods: The thesis has a retrospective ...
Immunological studies on anca-associated vasculitis with special reference to T cell activation
(2009-10-16)
This thesis focuses on the role of T cells in ANCA-associated vasculitis. We initially investigated activation markers on T cells in patients with Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and renal ...
Understanding structure and function of membrane protein transporters
(2008-11-28)
Membrane protein transporters are important proteins in the cell, as they maintain different solutes and metabolites at a stable concentration. Numerous diseases can be linked to malfunctioning transporters, which makes ...

(2010-03-05)
Aim: To evaluate initial symptoms and clinical features, diagnosis and delay
in osteosarcoma (OS), Ewing sarcoma (EWS) and chest wall chondrosarcoma
(CS). To assess treatment and identify prognostic factors in chest ...
Evaluations of measurement techniques in functional dyspepsia : electrogastrography, satiety drinking test and 14C-urea breath test
(2010-08-20)
The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of certain measurement techniques that may be helpful in the understanding of functional dyspepsia (FD). Electrogastrography (EGG) parameters were ...
Studies on leukotriene B4 and alarmins in inflammatory responses
(2010-01-29)
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent proinflammatory lipid mediator that is involved in host defense and inflammatory diseases, such as atherosclerosis. LL-37 and heparin binding protein (HBP) are cationic antimicrobial polypeptides, which belong...
Applications of nanotechnology in neuroscience : functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles as contrast enhancers in experimental magnetic resonance imaging
(2010-04-08)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive imaging technique that
helps clinicians not only to diagnose but also to plan the treatment of
invasive surgery and actually treat medical conditions. Superparamagnetic
iron ...
