  1. 1. Exposure to trichloramine, trihalomethanes and endotoxins : adverse respiratory and ocular effects among Swedish indoor swimming pool workers

    Författare :Jessica Westerlund; Pål Graff; Louise Fornander; Håkan Löfstedt; Christer Janson; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Trichloramine; trihalomethanes; endotoxins; occupational exposure; ocular health effects; respiratory health effects; swimming pool facilities;

    Sammanfattning : Indoor swimming pool facilities often use chlorine for pool water disinfection. Chlorine can also contribute to the formation of unwanted disinfection byproducts (DBPs). Trichloramine and trihalomethanes (THMs) are DBPs formed in swimming pool water and swimming pool air causing occupational exposure. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Novel host defence mechanisms during bacterial infections

    Författare :Malin Elvén; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ApoE; Complement System; TFPI-2; Antimicrobial peptides; AMP; Immunolgobulins; endotoxins; Staphylococcus aureus; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; Escheria coli;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system has evolved through thousands of years and its architecture has challenged the medical field since the first hieroglyphs and will likely continue do so. With our co-evolution with millions of other species, the complexity to treat infectious diseases has been a race in increasing speed ever since. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The vagina : morphological, functional and ecological aspects

    Sammanfattning : The vagina is one organ of the body which has not been studied exhaustively. Moreover, most of the studies found in the contemporary literature have been performed on women affected by a variety of genital diseases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Cyanophyte Arthrospira Fusiformis in African Waters - Eco-Physiology and Potential Use in Tropical Aquaculture

    Författare :Aidate Mussagy; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; limnology; Marinbiologi; marine biology; aquatic ecology; lipopolysaccharide endotoxins LPS ; salinity; osmoregulation; proline; aquaculture feeds; Artemia.; Hydrobiology; anatoxin; microcystin; ITS sequences; phenotype analysis; taxonomy; Cyanophyceae; Arthrospira fusiformis; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : The cyanoprokaryote (blue-green algae) genus Arthrospira occurs in saline, alkaline tropical waters of Africa, Asia, and Central America. Traditionally Arthrospira has been used as a food supplement by the Kanembu tribe of Lake Chad and Aztecs living in the valley of Mexico City. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Aspects of infant food factors on intestinal inflammation and effects of probiotics in celiac disease autoimmunity

    Författare :Elin Oscarsson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endotoxin; food emulsifiers; intestinal permeability; probiotics; celiac disease; celiac disease autoimmunity;

    Sammanfattning : Aims: The overall aim of this thesis was to study dietary components with focus on exposure and ability to affect gutpermeability, peripheral immune response and gut microbiota in children at genetic risk of developing CD. Thespecific aims were to study presence of food components that might induce intestinal inflammation, evaluatepossible effects on intestinal permeability by food emulsifiers, investigate if two different strains of Lactobacillaceaeaffect ongoing CD autoimmunity and gut microbiota composition.
