21. Infant microbiota and short chain fatty acids - relation to lifestyle and effect on health
Sammanfattning : The commensal microbiota has both beneficial and negative effects on the host. It is a source of infectious and inflammatory microorganisms, but may also provide immune stimulation during a critical period during early infancy that possibly offers protection against allergy and other immune mediated diseases.

22. Actions of Antimicrobial Peptides and Bacterial Components in Inflammation
Sammanfattning : Antimicrobial peptides are evolutionally ancient parts of the innate immune system and their primary role is to protect us from infections. The human cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptide, LL-37, not only possesses broad spectrum antimicrobial activities but is also able to bind and neutralize bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an important trigger of the widespread inflammatory response contributing to septic shock.

23. Phagocytic cells and Streptococcus pyogenes in invasive infections : an inflammatory relationship
Sammanfattning : Severe Streptococcus pyogenes infections, such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and necrotizing soft tissue infections, are rare but life threatening conditions. They are characterized by high bacterial load and a hyper-inflammatory state. The aim of this thesis was to investigate interactions between S. LÄS MER
24. Studies of different clinical manifestations of Sarcoidosis and the role of genetic factors
Sammanfattning : Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology characterized by the formation of non-necrotizing granulomas in the affected organs. Engagement of the lungs and/or thoracic lymph nodes (LN) are found in more than 90 % of all cases, but almost any organ such as the eyes, skin, heart and nervous system can be involved. LÄS MER
25. Studies on autoantibodies and inflammatory markers in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic Inflammatory myopathies (IIM), commonly known as myositis, are chronic autoimmune diseases characterized by low muscle strength and low muscle endurance as main features. However, a high number of patients may develop extra muscular manifestations such as interstitial lung disease, skin rash or arthritis. LÄS MER
