11. Infammatory response to hyperbaric trauma. An experimental and clinical study
Sammanfattning : Reductions in ambient pressure liberates gas in various tissues and can result in decompression illness. In this thesis the patophysiological implications of a blood gas interface resulting from decompression was investigated with reference to the influence on biochemical mediators of inflammation.

12. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) : Mechanisms of Amyloidogenesis in the Pancreatic Islets and Potential Roles in Diabetes Mellitus
Sammanfattning : Islet amyloid is the most common characteristic feature of the islets in type 2 diabetes, being found in up to 90% of diabetic patients at post-mortem. lt has as its unique component the islet beta-cell peptide islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), which is eo-secreted with insulin.

13. Characterization and expression of subtypes of nicotinic receptors in brain and adrenal medulla : with focus on development, Alzheimer's disease and transgenic animal models
Sammanfattning : The cholinergic nicotinic receptors (nAChRs) seem to play an important role in numerous important physiological processes in brain as well as peripheral tissues of man. In first trimester human brain mRNA levels for the alpha3, alpha4, alpha5, alpha7, beta2, beta3, and beta4 nAChR subunits and binding sites were detected at 5 weeks of gestation. LÄS MER
14. Studies on structural and biomechanical responses in seat integrated safety belt configurations
Sammanfattning : The common 3-point safety belt usually has some anchor points on the car body. However, it is also possible to mount all anchor points on the seat structure. In general, different studies show some advantages with seat integrated safety belts. Thus, further investigations are motivated. LÄS MER
15. Characteristics of nearside car crashes : an integrated approach to side impact safety
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Approximately 1.25 million people globally are killed in traffic accidents yearly. To achieve the UN Global Goal of a 50% reduction of fatal and serious injuries in 2020 a safer infrastructure, as well as new safety technologies, will be needed. Side crashes represent 20% of all serious and 25 % of fatal injuries. LÄS MER
