(2009-02-27)
The overall aim of this thesis was to explore and describe how sexual
life after childbirth is communicated, addressed and reflected upon among
new mothers, fathers and midwives and the impact of leaving first and
minor ...
Mortality and co-morbidity among patients with hemochromatosis and their first-degree relatives
(2010-05-14)
Genetic hemochromatosis (GH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by
a C282Y mutation in the HFEgene, and is characterized by excess iron
accumulation in multiple organs. Classical manifestations of GH include
liver ...
Epidemiology and care of epilepsy in Vietnam
(2010-05-12)
of active epilepsy were thus identified. Age-adjusted incidence was 44.8/100,000 (95%CI 30.6-59.0), higher in those under 16 years, among people with lower education, and with lower income. Age-adjusted prevalence was 4.4 per 1,000 (95%CI 3.8-5.0), higher...
Evaluation of strategies to predict and improve early graft survival in clinical islet transplantation
(2010-05-21)
Transplantation of the islets of Langerhans as a treatment for type 1
diabetes (T1DM) is a procedure still under development. For the last
decade it has been possible to obtain insulin independence by repeated
infusions ...
Transcription factor control in neuronal maintenance and survival
(2010-04-16)
The Transcription factor (TF) Nurr1 is essential for the development of a group of dopamine neurons that are located in the ventral midbrain (also referred to as mesencephalon). A progressive pathology of these midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons...
Tobacco smoking, high body mass index and the outcome after surgery : the role of intervention
(2008-11-07)
The negative effects of smoking and obesity on public health are
well-known. Despite this knowledge, the smoking-attributable morbidity
and mortality is estimated to rise rapidly in the forthcoming years, and

Molecular dynamic studies of nuclear receptors ligand binding domain
(2009-05-08)
Nuclear Receptors (NR) function as transcription factors that regulate
genes that affect processes like reproduction, development and
metabolism. The NRs are activated upon a given signal, which can be a
ligand binding ...

(2008-11-21)
Neuropathic pain caused by injury to the nervous system is a difficult clinical problem and a large proportion of patients experience no or only partial relief from existing treatments. Pain sensitivity and the development ...
Transcriptional profiling of the kidney glomerulus

(2009-11-20)
that heart block develops in rat pups of three strains carrying MHC haplotype RT1av1 (DA, PVG.AV1 and LEW.AV1) after maternal Ro52 immunization, while pups from LEW rats (RT1l) rarely developed block. Different anti-Ro52 antibody fine-specificities were...
