  1. 1. Tamiflu® - Use It and Lose It?

    Författare :Josef D. Järhult; Björn Olsen; Hanna Söderström; Jonas Waldenström; Robert G. Webster; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; influenza; oseltamivir; Tamiflu; resistance development; H274Y; environment; pharmaceuticals; mallard; dabbling duck; avian influenza; influensa; resistensutveckling; miljö; läkemedel; gräsand; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : Influenza A viruses cause seasonal and pandemic outbreaks that range from mild infections to the disastrous Spanish Flu. Resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) is a growing problem as these drugs constitute a vital part of treatment strategies and pandemic preparedness plans worldwide. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) is the mostly used NAI. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Influenza A virus in wild birds

    Författare :Anders Wallensten; Björn Olsen; Lennart Svensson; Åke Lundkvist; Mikael Berg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Influenza A virus; Wild Birds; Ducks; Prevalence; Ecology; Virology; Virologi;

    Sammanfattning : Influenza virus is a RNA virus that exists as different types and subtypes. Influenza A virus strains are known to cause disease in several bird and mammalian species. Wild birds are believed to constitute the natural reservoir for influenza A virus. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Direct Demonstration of Influenza Virus and Mycoplasma Pneumoniae in the Respiratory Tract

    Författare :Anna Nilsson; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; polymeras chain reaction; influenza virus; Mycoplasma pneumoniae; diagnosis; respiratory tract infection; sample site; serial samples;

    Sammanfattning : Diagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification have become available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and influenza viruses. Here, an MP PCR test detected 100% of infections during the first three symptomatic weeks, whereas classical serology detected 21% week 1, 56% week 2, and 100% week 3. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Treatment of arthritis with tumour necrosis factor antagonists. Clinical, immunological and biochemical aspects

    Författare :Meliha C Kapetanovic; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; ANA; infusion reaction; influenza vaccination; pneumococcal vaccination; COMP; TNF antagonists; spondylarthropathies; arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The treatment of arthritis has undergone a dramatic change since biological agents targeting specific mediators of the disease process have been introduced. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have been shown to reduce signs and symptoms of disease and to retard the development of tissue damage in the majority of patients. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Modelling Epidemic Influenza : A Novel Approach

    Författare :Wah-Sui Almberg; Magnus Boman; Mats Danielsson; Paavo Pylkkänen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Modellering av dynamiska förlopp i socio-biologiska komplexa system är långt ifrån trivialt. Behovet av fördjupad förståelse av sådana förlopp är många gånger stort. Vi har presenterat ett oortodoxt förslag på hur spridning av influensa i mänsklig population kan beskrivas och simuleras. LÄS MER
