  1. 1. Genetic subtypes in unicellular intestinal parasites with special focus on Blastocystis

    Författare :Joakim Forsell; Birgitta Evengård; Margareta Granlund; Tom van Gool; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Intestinal parasites; Blastocystis; Entamoeba; Giardia; molecular detection; PCR; subtype; intestinal microbiota; Sweden; Zanzibar; Clinical Bacteriology; klinisk bakteriologi;

    Sammanfattning : The development of molecular tools for detection and typing of unicellular intestinal parasites has revealed genetic diversities in species that were previously considered as distinct entities. Of great importance is the genetic distinction found between the pathogenic Entamoeba histolytica and the non-pathogenic Entamoeba dispar, two morphologically indistinguishable species. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Genetic characterisation of Meningococci

    Författare :Paula Mölling; Anders Sjöstedt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Meningococci (Mc) are one of the major causes of meningitis and septicaemia throughout the world. Non-culture diagnostic methods are recognised as important tools for optimal laboratory confirmation of Me infections, due in part to the increased use of preadmission antibiotics. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Genetic association studies in stroke

    Författare :Claes Ladenvall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :stroke; ischemic stroke subtypes; subarachnoid hemorrhage; genetics; polymorphism; fibrinolysis; tPA; PAI-1; TAFI; CRP; Factor XIII;

    Sammanfattning : Stroke is the third most common cause of death and the most common cause of disability in adults in developed countries. It is a complex disease in which genetic and environmental factors make about equal contributions. LÄS MER

  5. 4. HIV-1 evolution, disease progression and molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 single and HIV-1 and HIV-2 dual-infected individuals in Guinea-Bissau

    Författare :Joakim Esbjörnsson; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HIV-1; HIV-2; Guinea-Bissau; subtype; disease progression; evolution; coreceptor tropism; CXCR4; gp120; V1-V3; CD4%; CD8%; soluble immune markers;

    Sammanfattning : The two genetically related human lentiviruses known today, HIV-1 (which is pandemic) and HIV-2 (which mainly is confined to West Africa), are the causative agents of AIDS. Progressive immune dysfunction and AIDS develop in most cases of untreated HIV-1 infection, but only in approximately 25-30% of HIV-2 infected individuals. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Role of Melanocyte Lineage Genes in Melanoma

    Författare :Adriana Sanna; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Melanoma; Genetic; Epigenetic; Heterogeneity; MITF; SOX10; CSD;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma accounts for the highest number of deaths among all skin cancer types, and its incidence has increased dramatically over the past decades. Despite the tremendous therapeutic advances, treatment resistant cells emerge in the vast heterogeneity of melanoma, driving tumor relapse and poor patient outcome. LÄS MER
