16. Biochemical and genetic markers after subarachnoid haemorrhage
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a devastating disease with high morbidity and mortality despite novel treatment options are available. There are no established methods to measure the brain damage occurring due to the bleed and its complications and to predict early neurological outcome of the disease. LÄS MER
17. Biomarkers and mediators in systemic lupus erythematosus : IFNα versus the CRP response, and evaluation of suPAR and anti-dsDNA antibody assays
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disease which may affect multiple organ systems. Interferon alpha (IFNα) and autoantibodies that form immune complexes with nuclear antigens (ANA) are hallmarks believed to drive the disease into a vicious circle of inflammation, tissue damage, autoantigen exposure and autoantibody production.
