Inhibition in cognition : neurophysiology and connectivity of gabaergic interneurons in the prefrontal cortex
(2021-11-12)
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a cortical region involved in higher-order cognitive functions, it is widely connected to the rest of the neocortex and is involved in tasks that require temporal integration of information. ...
Low back pain in a general population : care seeking behaviour, lifestyle factors and methods of exposure assessment
(2001-11-23)
This thesis is based on the MUSIC-Norrtälje study, a population-based
case-referent study of low-back pain with a two-year follow-up. Included
in the study were 449 female and 342 male cases. The specific aims were
to ...
Renal function decline and optimized planning for kidney replacement therapy
(2022-05-18)
Chronic Kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing health problem world-wide, and the prevalence increases with age. CKD is a life-threatening condition, with high risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Patients with ...
Measurements of physical workload with special reference to energy expenditure and work postures
(2011-01-27)
Background: There is a need in preventive ergonomics for accurate and valid methods of quantifying exposure to physical workload.
Aims: Two technical instruments were evaluated for quantifying occupational physical ...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease : an emerging liver disease
(2011-04-20)
The aim of the study was to evaluate what NAFLD is from a molecular perspective, what influences the disease progression and what the prognosis of the disease is.
Fatty liver has earlier often been associated with ...
Immunity to malaria: importance of exposure and parasite polymorphism
(2014-04-25)
Malaria continues to carry an intolerable burden of disease and mortality, predominantly on children in Sub-Saharan Africa. An efficacious vaccine would be a powerful tool in the combat against malaria. Further understanding ...
Improving access and outcomes in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder

Traumatic patellar dislocation in childhood : late effects on knee function and cartilage quality
(2016-02-24)
Background and aim: Acute patellar dislocation affects approximately 1:1000 healthy children 9-
15 years of age, and up to 50% are at risk for recurrent dislocations. In adults the condition is
associated with long-term ...
Influence of genetic polymorphisms on DNA repair, p53 mutations and cancer risk
(2006-09-29)
Individuals have different susceptibility towards environmental exposures that may cause or contribute to disease. This inter-individual variation is partly due to genetic polymorphisms in genes involved in DNA repair and ...
Studies on the biosynthesis of ABH and Lewis epitopes on O-glycans
(2006-04-28)
ABH and Lewis antigens are carbohydrate epitopes (glycans) found on a wide variety of cell surfaces. They are involved in many biological processes, e.g transplantation rejection, bacterial and viral adhesion, cell-cell ...
