41. Inflammatory markers for evaluation of inflammatory bowel disease therapy
Sammanfattning : The lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting the clinical course or monitoring therapeutic outcome in inflammatory bowel disease is an indisputable problem. The aim of this study was to evaluate markers of inflammation during inflammatory bowel disease therapy. LÄS MER
42. Endogenous proteins as markers of glomerular function and dysfunction
Sammanfattning : Plasma and urine concentrations of endogenous proteins are frequently used in the diagnosis of kidney diseases and in studies of glomerular filter function. The main issues addressed in these studies were: storage of urine samples for subsequent protein analysis, use of protein concentrations in urine and in plasma in health and as markers of glomerular diseases, and the application of renal plasma-to-urine clearance of endogenous proteins in estimating the size-selectivity properties of the glomerular capillary wall.

43. The left ventricle in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease : remodeling and overall performance
Sammanfattning : The concept of left ventricular (LV) remodeling in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) includes changes in the LV occurring in response to mitral regurgitation (MR). The general aim of this thesis was to study LV remodeling and function in dogs with different severities of naturally acquired MMVD using 1) digital signal analysis technique for murmur and heart sound assessment, 2) biomarker analyses of circulating cardiac troponin I (cTnI), C-reactive protein (CRP), and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and 3) real-time three-dimensional (RT3D) echocardiography for assessment of changes in LV shape and volume.

44. Aspects on early diagnosis of neonatal sepsis
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents four studies, all designed to improve the problematic diagnostic situation concerning infants with suspected sepsis. Study I included 401 neonates with suspected sepsis. LÄS MER
45. Aspects on Minimally Invasive Surgery for Rectal Tumours
Sammanfattning : Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and laparoscopic rectal resection are minimally invasive methods of surgery for rectal tumours. One aim of this thesis was to analyse the inflammatory response after minimally invasive surgery compared with open resection. LÄS MER
