  1. 11. Novel immunologic cellular mechanisms in atherosclerosis and potential therapeutic implications

    Författare :M Mizanur Rahman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis, an arterial ailment, is a major cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which cause more than 17 million deaths each year and the number is expected to rise. In recent years atherosclerosis has been shown to be an inflammatory condition involving activated immunocompetent cells, including T-cells, macrophages and dendritic cells (DC), but the mechanism by which these cells are activated remains to be elucidated in detail.

  3. 12. Biomarkers of aromatic isocyanates in exposed workers

    Författare :Pernilla Lind; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adducts; biomarkers; exposure; occupational; methylenediphenyl diisocyanate; toluene diisocyanate; amines; isocyanates; polyurethane; Gas chromatography; mass spectrometry; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The aromatic isocyanates, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), are used in the production of polyurethane (PUR) foams, paints, elastomers and glues. The use of isocyanates is increasing, and exposure to isocyanates is the most common cause of occupational asthma. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Analysis of Nucleotide Variations in Non-human Primates

    Författare :Ann-Charlotte Rönn; Ann-Christine Syvänen; Mats Nilsson; Phillip Morin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Molecular genetics; SNP; genotyping; primate; chimpanzee; whole genome amplification; multiple displacement amplification; minisequencing; microarray; Y-chromosome; mitochondria; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Many of our closest relatives, the primates, are endangered and could be extinct in a near future. To increase the knowledge of non-human primate genomes, and at the same time acquire information on our own genomic evolution, studies using high-throughput technologies are applied, which raises the demand for large amounts of high quality DNA.

  5. 14. Transcription factor control in neuronal maintenance and survival

    Författare :Banafsheh Kadkhodaei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The Transcription factor (TF) Nurr1 is essential for the development of a group of dopamine neurons that are located in the ventral midbrain (also referred to as mesencephalon). A progressive pathology of these midbrain dopamine (mDA) neurons is evident in Parkinson s disease, the most frequent neurodegenerative movement disorder. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Pharmacovigilance of mass drug administration for the control of schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helminths in Rwanda

    Författare :Joseph Kabatende; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Preventive chemotherapy (PC) is a WHO recommended core interventional measure or a strategy to prevent, control and eliminate STH and schistosomiasis as public health burden by 2030. Though preventable and treatable, they are still endemic in Rwanda and continue to cause significant mortality and morbidity. LÄS MER
