Dietary prevention of gastrointestinal cancer : epidemiologic studies of fruit, vegetables and cereals
(2000-12-22)
The widely accepted inverse associations between fruit, vegetables,
dietary fiber and colorectal cancer risk, have recently been called into
question. In addition, dietary studies of certain cancers, such as
adenocarcinomas ...
Computational exploration of human genome variation
(2004-09-03)
In studies of human genome variation, researchers attempt to identify the DNA sequence differences between our genomes that contribute substantially to variation that can be observed on a physical level (phenotype). Genetic ...
Molecular and diagnostic aspects of the protein p41 of HHV-6 and silencing of the CD46 receptor by RNA interference
(2003-05-23)
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to sensory and motor disability in young adults. There is no efficient treatment of the disease. Its etiology is ...
Comparison of stereotactic fine needle aspiration biopsy and core needle biopsy in breast lesions
(2004-04-16)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of two biopsy methods by comparing stereotactic fine needle aspiration biopsy (S-FNAB) with stereotactic core needle biopsy (S-CNB). The biopsies were ...
Sex steroid hormone receptors : inner ear and hearing
(2009-04-29)
It is well known that hearing loss is more profound in elderly males than
females, regardless of noise exposure. Also, an age-related hearing
decline starts much earlier in males, already after the age of 30, while
in ...
Estimation of gestational age by ultrasound and extreme prematurity
(2012-05-16)
Accurate estimation of the gestational age of the fetus is a key assessment made by providers of obstetric care during pregnancy, since decisions concerning management strategies are dependent on this estimate. Thus, the ...
Immediate breast reconstruction with implants in breast cancer patients
(2007-05-25)
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among Swedish women. The
incidence has increased since the beginning of the 1970s. Simultaneously
the age-standardized mortality has been relatively constant, which ...
Cytokine-modulated dendritic cell immunotherapy in autoimmune diseases
(2005-01-14)
Autoimmunity is the result of failure of self-tolerance processes. When the immune system fails to differentiate self from foreign, the effector mechanisms are directed towards the individual s own tissues, and pathological ...
Antibiotic resistance and antibiotic consumption with focus on Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(2007-05-04)
Aims: The general aims of the present studies were to assess the levels of antibiotic resistance, in relation to antibiotic consumption at the Karolinska University Hospital, Solna (KS) and at 11 other Swedish hospitals, ...
DNA repair by HDR in experimental tumorigenesis
(2008-05-15)
The aim of this thesis was to further understand how defects in the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway affect tumor formation and development. To study proteins involved in HDR is challenging since most of its members ...
