1. 1. C-reactive protein (CRP) and anti-CRP autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus : a study on the occurrence and clinical implications of anti-CRP antibodies and CRP-mediated complement activation

   Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by production of a wide range of autoantibodies, multiple organ involvement and by local formation or tissue deposition of immune complexes (ICs) in the inflamed organs. In contrast to most systemic inflammatory conditions, and despite raised levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, SLE flares are rarely reflected by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), an important acute-phase reactant in man with homologs in vertebrates and several invertebrates.

3. 2. Canine C-reactive protein : validation of two automated canine-specific C-reactive protein assays and studies on clinical and research applications

   Författare :Anna Hillström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : C-reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive and specific marker of systemic inflammation in dogs, valuable for diagnosing and monitoring inflammatory diseases. The use of CRP in canine medicine has however been hampered by the lack of automated assays optimized for measuring CRP in this species. LÄS MER

4. 3. C-reactive protein in clinical practice with special regard to infectious diseases

   Författare :Lars-Olof Hansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :CRP; general practice; septi-caemia; endocarditis; influenza; bacterialmeningitis; viral meningitis; community-acquired pneumonia; malignant melanoma; albumin; transferrin; a-1 anti-trypsin; hapto-globin; orosomucoid; transthyretin; iron.;

   Sammanfattning : A new simple affinity purification method for human CRP using Arginine-Sepharose 4B was developed with a recovery of >90 % and containing < 5-10 % contaminating proteins. In a multicenter study including 607 consecutive patients in general practice, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum CRP were compared. LÄS MER

5. 4. Respiratory tract infections in primary care - aspects of diagnosis and treatment

   Författare :Karin Rystedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Group A streptococci; Penicillin V; Phenoxymethylpenicillin; Rapid antigen detection test; Antimicrobial resistance; Faecal microbiota; C-reactive protein; Influenza-like illness; Influenza A; Primary care;

   Sammanfattning : Background Primary health care is accountable for most of the antibiotic prescriptions in humans. In Sweden, most of these antibiotics are used for respiratory tract infections, and pharyngotonsillitis (acute sore throat) is the single respiratory tract infection that leads to most antibiotic prescriptions.

7. 5. The significance of low-grade inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract

   Författare :David Lundgren; Pontus Karling; Mårten Werner; Klas Sjöberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low-grade inflammation; gastrointestinal tract; faecal calprotectin; inflammatory bowel disease; Ulcerative colitis; irritable bowel syndrome; biomarkers; colonoscopy; proton pump inhibitors; albumin; C-reactive protein; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : BackgroundGastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are commonly reported in a normal population. Mostly, the symptoms are of benign cause but occasionally the symptoms can be signs of a more harmful disease. In general, it is difficult to distinguish whether the reported symptoms are caused by a benign (functional) or organic (i.e. LÄS MER
