    Sammanfattning : The organisation of fluids in small compartments is ubiquitous in nature, such as in the cellular composition of all life. This work explores several engineering avenues where microscale fluid compartmentalization can bring novel material properties or novel functionality in life sciences or medicine. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Diagnostic aspects of urinary tract infections among elderly residents of nursing homes

    Författare :Pär-Daniel Sundvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bacteriuria; Nursing Homes; Homes for the Aged; Urinary Tract Infections; Predictive Value of Tests; Dipstick Urinalysis; Interleukin-6; Drug Resistance; Bacterial.;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Up to half the residents of nursing homes for the elderly have asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), which should not be treated with antibiotics. Thus, it is difficult to know if new symptoms in residents with bacteriuria are caused by urinary tract infection (UTI), or if bacteriuria only represents an ABU. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antibacterial effects of nitrite in urine

    Författare :Stefan Carlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Nitrite; nitrate; nitric oxide; urinary tract infection; catheter-associated urinary tract infection; antimicrobial; Escherichia coli.;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI`s) are among the most common conditions causing individuals to seek medical care. In addition, catheter-associated infections account for most of the hospital-acquired UTI´s and is also a major source of resistant nosocomial pathogens. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Malaria control measures : impact on malaria and anaemia in holoendemic area of rural coastal Tanzania

    Författare :Zul Premji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical Africa. It is particularly the main killer disease in children below five years and its health impact is most severe in the rural areas. Malarial anaemia is believed to be the main complication in high endemic areas. LÄS MER
