  1. 1. Coagulant Protein from plant materials: Potential Water Treatment Agent

    Författare :Ida Bodlund; Gunaratna Kuttuva Rajarao; Anna Norström; Andres Veide; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; antimicrobial effect; Brassica; coagulant protein; MO2.1; Moringa oleifera; Mustard; napin; thermo-resistance; plant material; protein extraction; salt extract.;

    Sammanfattning : Access to fresh water is a human right, yet more than 780 million people, especially in rural areas, rely on unimproved sources and the need for finding ways of treating water is crucial. Although the use of natural coagulant protein in drinking water treatment has been discussed for a long time, the method is still not in practice, probably due to availability of material and limited knowledge.

  3. 2. Water Supply in Tanzania and Performance of Local Plant Materials in Purification of Turbid Water

    Författare :Nancy Marobhe; Gunno Renman; Gunnar Jacks; Msafiri Jackson; Tapio Katko; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Antibacterial effect; Coagulant proteins; Vigna unguiculata; Parkinsonia aculeata; Ion exchange; Tanzania water supply; Water engineering; Vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Water supply services in urban and rural areas of Tanzania were reviewed and specific studies were carried out on water supply and on purification of turbid water sources using locally available plant materials in rural villages of Singida Rural District. The review showed that large proportions of urban and rural populations in Tanzania face acute water supply problems mainly due to poor planning, implementation and management of water supply projects, including an inability to address social, technical, operation and maintenance and financial issues.

  4. 3. Inflammatory Mediators and Enterovirus Infections in Human Islets of Langerhans

    Författare :Annika Moëll; Gun Frisk; Olle Korsgren; Bo Nilsson; Outi Vaarala; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; diabetes; islets of Langerhans; enterovirus; inflammatory mediators; cytokines; nicotinamide; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is due to a selective loss of the insulin producing β-cells. However, the process responsible for this loss is still unknown. There is accumulating evidence that enteroviruses (EVs) are involved in T1D. In addition to direct virus-induced cytolysis, EVs could facilitate β-cell destruction by inducing inflammatory cytokines.

  5. 4. The hypertension-prone man: A study on the pathogenesis of hypertension with regard to insulin sensitivity

    Författare :Tomas Endre; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular system; sex steroid hormones; sodium retention; glycogen synthase; fibrinolysis; physical fitness; blood flow; insulin resistance; muscle fibres; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Sammanfattning : Hypertensive individuals, even non-obese, have been shown to be resistant to the insulin-mediated glucose uptake in peripheral tissues {mainly skeletal muscle}. The aim of this study was to investigate hypothetical pathophysiological mechanisms for the development of hypertension with regard to insulin sensitivity in normotensive men with a family history of hypertension (RELs) as compared to men with no such family history (CONs).

  7. 5. Heparan sulfate dependent sequestration during Plasmodium falciparum malaria

    Författare :Anna Vogt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Severe malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; sequestration; endothelial adhesion; erythrocyte rosetting; PfEMP1; DBL1alpha; heparan sulfate; heparin; animal model.;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmodium falciparum infected erythrocytes are able to bind to the microvascular endothelium (cytoadherence), and to uninfected erythrocytes (rosetting) that lead to excessive sequestration of the parasites. This causes obstruction of the deep microvasculature by P. LÄS MER
