Wnt signaling affects cell adhesion and neuronal differentiation
(2008-05-23)
The mammalian central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The entire CNS is derived from the walls of a fluid-filled neural tube that is formed at an early stage of embryonic development. The ...
Brain volume reduction over four decades in multiple sclerosis
(2010-05-07)
Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological disease causing intermittent or cumulative disability, predominantly among women of child-bearing age. MS is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central ...
Leukocyte activation in newborns in relation to prenatal stress
(2009-11-05)
The aim of this project is to describe the pattern of innate immunity responses at birth with focus on the recruitment of leukocytes such as eosinophils and neutrophils and their content of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide ...
The Rarebit fovea test : a new measure of visual function
(2008-04-23)
Visual acuity (VA) measurement by the use of letter charts is the most
frequently used method for testing foveal function. However, since a
decimal visual acuity of 1.0, often used as limit for normality, can be
achieved ...
A longitudinal study of dentofacial morphology in young children treated for the obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome
(2008-09-19)
was recorded. The width of the upper dental arch had increased significantly more (p<0.01) in the OSAS children than in the controls, and the lateral cross-bite had spontanously resolved in two patients. Furthermore, changes towards a more normal dentofacial...
Proteomics in neurological disease
(2009-11-06)
Neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases are conditions affecting the central nervous system that in the end have dramatic impacts on the affected individuals and their families. Today, large efforts are made to ...
Muscle mass and function after total hip arthroplasty
(2009-04-17)
muscles recovered fully. There was still a reduction in CSA for m. iliopsoas (7.0 %) and hip adductors (8.4 %) and in RD for mm. gluteus maximus (10.1 HU), gluteus medius/minimus (5.6 HU), iliopsoas (3.9 HU) and adductors (2.4 HU). Limp was recovered...
Characteristics of drunk drivers in Sweden : alcohol problems, detection, crime records, psychosocial characteristics, personality traits and mental health
(2009-01-23)
Drunk driving not only causes public and individual harm but also leads
to economic costs with severe consequences for society. Research on the
Driving Under Influence (DUI) phenomenon in many countries was initiated
to ...
Viral vectors, in innate and adaptive immunity
(2009-05-22)
Recombinant viral vectors and DNA vectors induce strong immune responses
in animal models. However, in clinical trials, the generation of immune
responses is less robust, suggesting that further optimization and a
deeper ...
Heart rate variability in patients with stable angina pectoris
(2009-01-16)
The rate and modulation of the heart beat (i.e. heart rate variability; HRV) are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac sympathetic activation decreases and parasympathetic increases HRV. Measurements of HRV ...
