21. Dentine caries : acid tolerant microorganisms and aspects on collagen degradation
Sammanfattning : Karies är en stor folksjukdom, trots att den både kan förebyggas och behandlas effektivt. Om man inte ingriper preventivt och låter det naturliga förloppet råda, kommer kariesangreppet till slut att bryta igenom emaljen och involvera även den underliggande dentinvävnaden. LÄS MER
22. Cervical ripening : an inflammatory process involving cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin
Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to identify cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin in human cervical tissue and to investigate if changes are of importance for the final cervical ripening. The human cervical ripening is a prerequisite for a normal start and progress of labour. LÄS MER
23. Urinary tract infection : pathogenesis and complications
Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in women and children worldwide. If not diagnosed and treated appropriately, it may lead to severe illness and long-term complications. The economic impact caused by UTI on society is significant. In addition, bacterial resistance to common antibiotics is spreading at a high rate. LÄS MER
24. Inflammatory Markers, Respiratory Diseases, Lung Function and Associated Gender Differences
Sammanfattning : Systemic inflammation is associated with impaired lung function. Inflammation is part of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the local and systemic inflammatory pattern differs. LÄS MER
25. Inflammation and cortisol response in coronary artery disease
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammation, involving autoimmune components, in the arterial wall. An increase in proinflammatory activity relative to anti-inflammatory activity is considered to cause a progression of the disease towards plaque instability and risk of atherothrombotic events, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
