31. Intelligent Driver Mental State Monitoring System Using Physiological Sensor Signals
Sammanfattning : Driving a vehicle involves a series of events, which are related to and evolve with the mental state (such as sleepiness, mental load, and stress) of the driv- er. These states are also identified as causal factors of critical situations that can lead to road accidents and vehicle crashes. LÄS MER
32. Gene expression and its physiological control in disease and development : Studies on the human PDGF-B gene and tumour hypoxia
Sammanfattning : Strict control of gene expression is essential during development and in response to physiological stimuli. This thesis describes the functional characterisation of the gene regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of the potent human growth factor Platelet Derived Growth Factor B gene, in a cell type specific context and in response to low oxygen tension.

33. The Human Endometrium : Studies on Angiogenesis and Endometriosis
Sammanfattning : Angiogenesis is thought to play a pivotal role in the cycling endometrium. Coordinated by oestrogen and progesterone, endometrial blood vessel development is primarily mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), which promotes endothelial cell (EC) proliferation and protects ECs from induced apoptosis.

34. Heart and lung function - in health and disease : methodological studies in clinical physiology
Sammanfattning : The human heart and lungs constitute an intricate and dynamic system. Various clinical physiological examinations can be used to evaluate cardio-pulmonary function and identify abnormalities. Thus, it is important to understand how normal physiology presents, to be able to identify pathological findings. LÄS MER
35. Autonomic cardiac control in long QT syndrome : clinical studies of arrhythmogenic triggers
Sammanfattning : Background: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is an inherited cardiac disease characterized by prolonged cardiac repolarization and an increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias. These arrhythmias are typically triggered by adrenergic stimuli, such as physical activity and intense emotions, implicating that the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in arrhythmogenesis.
