1. 1. Streptococcus pyogenes - a manipulator of human defences

   Författare :Fredrik Kahn; Infektionsmedicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Streptococcus pyogenes; M protein; neutrophils; platelets; platelet-neutrophil complexes; fibrinogen; IgG; abscess; venous thrombosis; heparin binding protein; thrombocytopenia;

   Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is a major human pathogen with more than 500 000 casualties annually of which at least 163 000 are due to invasive infections. The remainder is due to post-streptococcal complications with rheu¬matic heart disease constituting the majority. S. LÄS MER

3. 2. Expression of TGF- isoforms, their receptors and related SMAD proteins in brain pathology : Immunohistochemical studies focusing on infarcts, abscesses and malignant gliomas

   Författare :Ahmad Khaled Ata; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; TGF-beta receptor; SMAD; brain; infarct; abscess; glioma; experimental; human; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the immunohistochemical expression of transforming growth factor beta(TGFβ) isoforms, their receptors and TGF-β-related SMAD proteins in brain pathology, chiefly in-farcts. One key question was whether the expressions of these compounds are altered within glial cells, endothelial cells of microvessels and other cell types in the vicinity of infarcts. LÄS MER

4. 3. Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in Brain Tumors - Clinical Applications

   Författare :Isabella Björkman-Burtscher; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; Localization; Abscess; Brain; Tumor; Spectroscopy; Magnetic Resonance; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: · to present a test phantom and test method for evaluation of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) single volume localization techniques regarding signal contamination; · to describe the introduction of 1H-MRS in the daily routine of a standard MR-unit; · to evaluate the possibilities offered by 1H-MRS to improve preoperative diagnostic accuracy in patients scheduled for stereotactic biopsy of intracranial mass lesions; · to evaluate the possibilities offered by 1H-MRS to improve diagnostics and therapy control in patients with brain abscesses; · to test the hypothesis that 1H-MRS might be useful for differentiation of brain tumors, based on metabolic changes in tissue across brain lesions or surrounding tissue. Results and conclusions: · The test phantom and test method allow quality assessment with good reproducibility. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Care and treatment of women with inflammatory symptoms of the breast during lactationInflammation of the breast during lactation causes considerable discomfort to mothers and carries a risk of early abandonment of breastfeeding. Little is known about the effects of care interventions, including acupuncture, used for these mothers or about mothers’ experiences of the complaint. LÄS MER
