Neurorestorative strategies involving neurogenesis, neuronal precursors and stem cells in animal models of Parkinson's disease
(2009-10-08)
The general aims of the thesis is to provide evidence for neurogenesis in the adult substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), where the dopamine-producing neurons lost in Parkinson's disease (PD) reside; to optimize methods ...
Population structure and antibiotic resistance of the genus enterococcus in humans, animals and the environment
(2005-11-18)
Enterococci belong to the normal intestinal flora of humans and animals. An increased prevalence of antibiotic resistant enterococci causing nosocomial infections has drawn attention to the epidemiology and emergence of ...
Diagnostic tests for adiposity and metabolic risk factors in adolescence : results from the Stockholm weight development study (SWEDES)
(2005-03-25)
Background: Despite growing concern about the development of pediatric
obesity, there is still controversy about its classification.
International classification systems have been proposed and national
systems are in ...
Hormonal and paracrine influences on Leydig cell steroidogenesis
(2006-08-18)
Androgen production by Leydig cells is critical for development of the male reproductive organs and for maintaining normal body homeostasis and fertility later in life. Biosynthesis of testosterone is driven by secretion ...
Studies on adult stem cells
(2006-05-12)
While our bodies are aging, in quite a few tissues, new cells are born every day, till the day we die. As you are reading this sentence, there is perhaps a new neuron born in your brain (and some are dying). Where does it ...
Dissemination of motivational interviewing : the role of workshop training and subsequent supervision in the development of competence in clinical practice
(2018-08-30)
Aim: Training practitioners is often used as the primary implementation strategy to disseminate evidence based practices into clinical and community settings. The overall objective of this thesis was to evaluate various ...
Genomic clues to secondary injury mechanisms in brain trauma
(2006-09-01)
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a heterogenous disease that can lead to persistent disability or death. The immediate mechanical disruption of brain tissue is followed by a phase of secondary brain injury. During this phase ...
Women who do not attend parental education classes during pregnancy or after birth
(2008-08-15)
This thesis focuses on childbirth and parenthood education during pregnancy and the year after childbirth, and investigates attendance rates and factors associated with non-attendance, and women's experiences and possible ...
Pharmacological and genetic modulation of adult neurogenesis in animal models relevant to neuropsychiatric disorders
(2012-02-03)
During the past decade, the modulation of adult neurogenesis has been an intensively studied area of neuroscience due to the implications for understanding of physiological mechanisms in the adult brain and the potential ...
