Affective disorders in a stress-vulnerability perspective : a clinical, biological and psycho-social study
(2002-11-15)
Affective illness is a common, recurrent and often severe illness, which causes severe suffering to the patients and their families, friends and co-workers. Furthermore the costs for society are substantial. The aims of ...
Icodextrin metabolism in peritoneal dialysis : clinical and experimental studies
(2007-10-19)
Icodextrin is a glucose polymer which is used as osmotic agent to provide
sustained ultrafiltration (UF) during the long (8-16 hours) dwell in
end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The
aims ...
Cellular and molecular mechanisms in abdominal aortic aneurysm growth and rapture
(2005-11-11)
Fragmentation of elastin, loss of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and accumulation of inflammatory cells are the histological landmarks of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In larger aneurysms, an intraluminal thrombus is almost ...
On angiogenesis modulation
(2009-08-28)
During evolution, the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms required the origin of a transport system capable of interconnecting specialized cells throughout the body of the organism. In higher animals, ...
Hearing in menopausal women and in women with Turner syndrome : a model for hearing matured in an estrogen-deficient environment
(2009-04-03)
Epidemiological studies have shown that women have better high-frequency
hearing than men in virtually all age groups, regardless of
noise-exposure, and that agerelated hearing decline starts after age 30
in men but not ...
HLA and KIR gene polymorphism in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
(2006-09-01)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in humans known as the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) is localised to the short arm of chromosome six. The HLA class 1 antigens, HLA-A, -B and -C are highly polymorphic glycoproteins ...
Formation of the inhibitory KIR repertoire in human natural killer cells
(2012-01-23)
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system that are able to secrete cytokines and detect virus infected and transformed cells. Contrary to T cells, NK cells recognize targets that lack expression ...
Prehospital advanced airway management in the Nordic countries
(2018-05-24)
Tracheal intubation (TI) is often the preferred technique to secure the airway of an unconscious patient in the prehospital setting. Prehospital TI is associated with several challenges, including limited assistance, few ...
Genetic analysis of cell cycle and chromatin regulation in quiescent fission yeast cells
(2022-05-16)
During proliferation, cells produce their genetic materials to increase the number of cells, while in the absence of nutrients or by the induction of stimulus, the proliferative phase is stopped and entry into quiescence ...
Origin of intraradicular infection with Enterococcus faecalis in endodontically treated teeth
(2015-05-13)
The reported prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis, both a commensal of the gastro-intestinal tract and a common nosocomial pathogen, ranges from 24% to 77% in post-treatment root canal infections. To date it has not been ...
