  1. 1. Lead in blood. ICP-MS studies of lead in plasma, blood and erythrocyte proteins

    Författare :Ingvar A Bergdahl; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; distribution; plasma; blood; erythrocytes; lead-binding prtoeins; delta-aminlevulinic acid dehydratase; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry; ALAD; arbetsmiljömedicin; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Lead; toxicity; ICP-MS; Yrkesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for the determination of lead in blood plasma has been developed. The detection limit was below 0.1 microgram/liter, and the precision 5%. There was no significant difference between levels in plasma and serum. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Prospective and longitudinal human studies of lead and cadmium exposure and the kidney

    Författare :Johan Nilsson Sommar; Ingvar A Bergdahl; Max Petzold; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cadmium; end-stage renal disease; kidney; lead; longitudinal; matched case-control; mixed effects; prospective; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; arbets- och miljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Cadmium and lead accumulate in humans and can have toxic effects. Exposure to cadmium is well known to cause kidney damage. Cadmium binds to metallothioneins, proteins that play a role in cadmium transport. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Environmental Pesticide Exposure and Neurobehavioral Effects among Children of Nicaraguan Agricultural Workers

    Författare :Teresa Rodríguez; Catharina Wesseling; Ingvar Lundberg; Berna van Wendel de Joode; Ingvar Bergdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :pesticides; organophosphates; pyrethroids; children; cognitive function; behavioral outcomes; neurodevelopment; Occupational and Environmental Medicine; Arbets- och miljömedicin; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Children exposed to pesticides are susceptible for neurodevelopmental disruption. Data from developing countries are scarce.Aim: Assessing long-term and recent pesticide exposure in Nicaraguan children in relation to parental pesticide use and examining potential associated neurobehavioral effects.

  5. 4. Measuring occupational dust exposure with a passive sampler

    Författare :Mariam Shirdel; Ingvar Bergdahl; Britt Andersson; Håkan Wingfors; Christer Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dust particles; mineral; PM10; PM2.5; respirable fraction; UNC passive aerosol sampler; working environment;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: In a working environment it is important to measure dust exposure to evaluate possible health issues. Passive sampling could be an alternative to active sampling with pumps when measuring occupational dust exposure. One passive sampler is the University of North Carolina passive aerosol sampler (UNC sampler). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Depression among the very old

    Författare :Ellinor Bergdahl; Yngve Gustafson; Per Allard; Ingvar Karlsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Psychiatry; very old; depression; prevalence; associated factors; five-year outcome; mortality; Psykiatri; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Emotional suffering in old age is largely caused by various psychiatric conditions, of which depression is the most common. Depression is associated with a decline in both well-being and daily functioning and reduces both morale and social capacity among the very old, which may produce high health and social costs for society.
