  1. 1. Molecular Targets in Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type1 and Their Clinical Implications

    Författare :Mohammad Alimohammadi; Olle Kämpe; Anna Lobell; Fredrik Rorsman; Tommy Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; autoimmunity; autoantibodies; endocrinology; parathyroid; hypoparathyroidism; Addison s disease; pulmonary symptoms; NALP; NALP5; NLR; KCNRG; Molecular medicine; Molekylär medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system attacks and destroys healthy body tissue. Autoimmunity is known to cause a wide range of disorders, and is suspected to be responsible for many more. Most autoimmune disorders are chronic and cause severe morbidity for the patients, and are also costly for society. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: exacerbations and mortality : Prognostic value of biomarkers and comorbidities

    Författare :Jens Ellingsen; Andrei Malinovschi; Christer Janson; Arnulf Langhammer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; COPD; exacerbations; mortality; biomarkers; comorbidity; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. COPD is associated with systemic inflammation, and comorbidities are common. A characteristic feature is acute exacerbations (AECOPDs), i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Obesity, Adipocytes and Breast Cancer – Insights from Translational Studies

    Författare :Malin Bergqvist; Bröstcancer - prevention & intervention; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast Cancer; Breast cancer risk; Breast cancer prognosis; Obesity; Adipocyte; Adipokines; CAP; Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Being overweight is becoming the new normal, and more than half of the adult Swedish population is overweight which poses a risk to public health. Overweight and obese women have both an increased risk and a worse prognosis for breast cancer, compared with women of normal weight. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Benefits of Non-Linear Mixed Effect Modeling and Optimal Design : Pre-Clinical and Clinical Study Applications

    Författare :Charles Ernest II; Andrew Hooker; Mats Karlsson; Bart Ploeger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacometrics; optimal design; nonlinear mixed effects models; population models; Pharmaceutical Science; Farmaceutisk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the growing promise of pharmaceutical research, inferior experimentation or interpretation of data can inhibit breakthrough molecules from finding their way out of research institutions and reaching patients. This thesis provides evidence that better characterization of pre-clinical and clinical data can be accomplished using non-linear mixed effect modeling (NLMEM) and more effective experiments can be conducted using optimal design (OD).

  7. 5. Genetic variations in the NALP3 inflammasome: a susceptibility factor for inflammatory diseases

    Författare :Deepti Verma; Peter Söderkvist; Ulf Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammasome; Interleukin-1 beta; NALP3; autoinflammation; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Innate immunity has received impressive attention in the past decade owing to the discovery of the Toll like receptors (TLRs) and the NOD-like receptors (NLRs). While the TLRs specialize in fighting microbes at the cell surface, the NLRs complement by detecting and responding to intracellular microbes. LÄS MER
