  1. 26. Anxiety, exhaustion and depression in relation to periodontal diseases

    Författare :Annsofi Johannsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Anxiety; stress; depression; gingival inflammation; periodontal diseases; smoking; inflammatory markers; cortisol; HPA axis;

    Sammanfattning : Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis), are inflammatory processes of the gingiva and supporting structures of the teeth induced by a microbial biofilm. In periodontitis this inflammatory process causes tissue degradation and eventually tooths loss. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Dermal cell trafficking : from microscopy to microdialysis

    Författare :Florence Sjögren; Magnus Lindberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The term dermal cell trafficking has been used to describe the dynamic nature of cell movement in the dermis reflecting the skin's role as an immunological organ. A light microscopic experimental model for qualitative and quantitative counting of the dermal inflammatory cell infiltrate in allergic, acute irritant and cumulative irritant contact reactions has been developed In human studies use of microdialysis technique has enabled observation of biochemical events in the skin, in vivo over a period of time.

  4. 28. On the genetic variation of interleukin-6 in health and coronary heart disease

    Författare :Marie Björnstedt Bennermo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atherosclerosis; coronary heart disease; factor VIIa; genetics; inflammation; interleukin-6; pathogen burden; polymorphism;

    Sammanfattning : There is increasing evidence that inflammation plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease (CHD). Prospective studies on healthy individuals and on patients with unstable angina pectoris or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction have shown that individuals with high interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations have an increased risk of myocardial infarction and death due to cardiovascular disease.

  5. 29. The metabolic syndrome : studies on thrifty genes

    Författare :Katja Kannisto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adipose tissue; adiponectin; 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1; BMI; glucocorticoid; GLUT; HAART; HIV; IL-6; insulin; insulin resistance; LDL-cholesterol; leptin; lifestyle; lipodystrophy; LPL; obesity; PPAR; PGC-1; polymorphism; rosiglitazone; skeletal muscle; twins;

    Sammanfattning : The metabolic syndrome consists of a cluster of atherogenic risk factors that include insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, obesity and a procoagulant state with impaired fibrinolysis. Genetic factors might predispose to the metabolic syndrome while the increasing prevalence of visceral and abdominal obesity linked to the shift to more sedentary lifestyles exacerbates the manifestation.

  7. 30. Hantaviruses : animal models, immunology and pathogenesis

    Författare :Jonas Klingström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hantavirus; animal models; vaccine; passive immunization; nitric oxide;

    Sammanfattning : Hantaviruses cause two serious and often fatal human zoonotic diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia, and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the Americas. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne and are transmitted to humans via inhalation of contaminated rodent excreta. LÄS MER
