1. Function of granulocytes after burns and trauma, associations with pulmonary vascular permeability, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and immunomodulation
Sammanfattning : Background: Our innate immunesystem protects us from infections but, since its methods is not all specific for microorganisms, may also induce collateral damage.Severe physical injury often proved deadly throughout evolution. Such injuries may induce massive collateral damage. LÄS MER
2. On the prognostic value of Heparin-binding protein in Sepsis
Sammanfattning : Sepsis causes major morbidity and mortality worldwide. There is wide consensus that biomarkers have an important role in sepsis research and patient care. Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived, proinflammatory and vascular permeability-inducing protein and a promising novel sepsis biomarker. LÄS MER
3. Bacterial virulence or exorbitant host response? On innate immunity against the streptococcal M1 protein
Sammanfattning : Bacterial infection is inevitable throughout a lifetime. What differs between mild andserious infections is the pathogen responsible and how the host immune systemresponds to it. A fundamental role to prevent infection is a proper physical barrier such as the skin and mucosa. LÄS MER
4. Novel insulin-like growth factor-binding protein proteases : detection and characterization
Sammanfattning : Members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system are known to have an impact on cell differentiation, proliferation and survival, and to be important regulators for nutrient metabolism. The IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP-1 to -6) control the availability of IGFs (IGF-I and IGF-II) to their receptors. LÄS MER
5. Studies on Heparin Binding protein in bacterial infections
Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases remain a major health problem, where sepsis and other severe bacterial infections are common causes of morbidity and mortality, and are associated with high costs for the community. The importance of early and appropriate treatment of sepsis and severe bacterial infections has been underlined by many and since sepsis is more prevalent and has a higher mortality rate than for instance acute myocardial infarction, there is a need for improvement.
