1. The effects of flaxseed and tamoxifen on the inflammatory microenvironment in normal breast tissue and in breast cancer
Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide today. Nearly 9000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Sweden yearly and despite advantages in diagnostics and treatments approximately 1400 women still die from their disease every year. LÄS MER
2. Novel Methods for Sampling, Characterization and Analysis of Airborne Street Particles in a Health Perspective
Sammanfattning : Over the last decades, there has been much attention on air quality, especially in urban environments. A significant factor effecting the air quality in the urban environment is airborne particulate matter (PM). Long-term exposure to PM causes increased risk for heart disease, decreased lung function, exacerbation of asthma, and lung cancer. LÄS MER
3. Cataract induced by UVR-B 300nm : characterization and genetic modulation of the lens sensitivity to oxidative stress
Sammanfattning : Cataract is defined as an opacification of the lens resulting in visual impairment. Worldwide, it is the number one cause of blindness and there are currently no strategies to prevent the onset of the disease. Cataract surgery is the most commonly performed elective intervention in industrialized countries. LÄS MER
4. Induction of a non-allergic inflammation in the human respiratory tract by organic dust
Sammanfattning : Swine farming is an occupation associated with high exposure levels to organic dust, but gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide are also contributing to the potentially hazardous exposure. The prevalences for respiratory symptoms, chronic or work-related, are increased among swine farmers, compared to both the normal population as well as other farming categories. LÄS MER
5. Respiratory tract infections, reflex apnea and sudden infant death : experimental and epidemiological studies with special reference to respiratory syncytial virus, Bordetella pertussis and sleep position
Sammanfattning : The seasonal distribution of Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) followed the prevalence of respiratory tract infections (RTI) when prone sleeping position was recommended, but this covariation has recently been attenuated. Airway infections in the young infant are known to produce respiratory disturbances. LÄS MER
