1. Inflammation and prostate carcinogenesis : influence of immune characteristics and early-adulthood exposure to inflammatory conditions on prostate cancer risk
Sammanfattning : Chronic inflammation has been implicated in the development of several types of cancer, and evidence from observational and animal studies suggests that it may play a role also in prostate carcinogenesis. Recent observations have brought Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) forward as a possible causative agent in pro-oncogenic prostatic inflammation. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia : Studies on cardiovascular disease, biomarkers and subclones
Sammanfattning : The treatment of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is rapidly changing, with targeted therapies, e.g. Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi), entering the frontline and relapse setting. However, BTKis have significant adverse effects, most notably cardiovascular disease (CVD). LÄS MER
4. Obesity-associated inflammation in adipose tissue
Sammanfattning : Background: Excess body fat, particularly in the visceral depot, is linked to increased mortality and morbidity, including the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Chronic low-grade inflammation in adipose tissue may be a key mediator of obesity-associated diseases. LÄS MER
5. Prostaglandins and Isoprostanes in Relation to Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis : Role of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Sammanfattning : Inflammation and oxidative stress may be involved in atherogenesis. This thesis describes clinical studies of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α), an inflammatory mediator, and the isoprostane 8-iso-PGF2α, a reliable indicator of oxidative stress, and cytokine-related inflammatory mediators and indicators in healthy subjects and in a population-based cohort of Swedish men.
