1. Epidemiologic studies of amytrophic lateral sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive muscular paralysis reflecting degeneration of motor neurons in the primary motor cortex, corticospinal tracts, brainstem and spinal cord. The causes of ALS remain largely unknown more than 140 years after the disease was first described. LÄS MER
2. Phylogeny and species diversity of the South and Southeast Asian cyprinid genus Danio Hamilton (Teleostei, Cyprinidae)
Sammanfattning : Danio Hamilton, in the wide sense, consists of 66 nominal species, of which about 45 are valid. Four species, viz. D. kakhienensis, D. LÄS MER
3. Childhood bereavement, stress resilience, and cancer risk : an integrated register-based approach
Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that psychosocial stress and susceptibility to stressful exposures – stress resilience – influence the risk of various health outcomes, but the potential link with cancer occurrence is unclear. The aims of this thesis were to test if loss of a close relative, a marker of severe psychological stress, and stress resilience measured during late adolescence are associated with cancer risk later in life, as well as to explore potential underlying mechanisms.

4. Parental cancer and children’s well-being : understanding the potential role of psychological stress
Sammanfattning : Early life stress has a major influence on one’s health through the life course. During childhood, early experience may not only affect the normal brain development, but also influence the susceptibility to mental and physical disorders. LÄS MER
5. Stress susceptibility, beta-blocker use and cancer survival
Sammanfattning : Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress may influence tumour biology through activation of neuroendocrine pathways and thus impair survival. However, measuring stressful exposures and their influence on health is challenging, partly due to substantial inter-individual variation in stress susceptibility. LÄS MER
