    Sammanfattning : Bacterial infections are a major global threat to public health and sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Sepsis incidence is rising, with supportive treatments and antibiotics being the main treatment possibilities. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Targeting bacterial infections by using immunomodulatory host defence peptides and proteins

    Författare :Martina Kalle; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Host dfence peptides; Sepsis; Immunomodulation; Heparin cofactor II;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial infections and sepsis are amongst the leading causes of death worldwide. Sepsis is caused by an uncontrolled systemic host response towards an invading pathogen. Due to the engagement of various systems including cellmediated responses, the coagulation and complement cascades, treatment of sepsis remains challenging. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Human papillomavirus testing and its application in cervical cancer prevention

    Författare :Anna Söderlund Strand; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : SUMMARY Because of the strong causal relationship between persistent infections of human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and cancer, HPVtesting has been proposed for improvement of cervical screening programs, including triaging and follow-up after treatment for CIN. We developed two new methods for HPV-testing with genotyping: A high-throughput HPV genotyping method that uses mass spectrometry for detection of the products of type-specific mass extend reactions, and a method with particularly sensitive detection of a broad spectrum of HPV-types, also in the case of multiple infections, that uses type-specific probes coupled to fluorescent beads for detection on the Luminex platform.

  5. 4. Seeking referral care for newborns in eastern Uganda : community health workers’ role, caretakers’ compliance and provision of care

    Författare :Christine Nalwadda Kayemba; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Newborn;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Newborn deaths contribute 44% of all under-five deaths. Community health worker (CHW) during home-visits may identify and refer newborns to health facilities for postnatal care and treatment of danger signs. LÄS MER
