1. 11. Regulation of cardiorespiratory homeostasis in adult and developing rat by catecholamines : effects of hypoxia

   Författare :Julie Peyronnet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :hypoxia; brainstem; catecholamines; chemoreflexe; ventilation; perinatal rat;

   Sammanfattning : The aims of the present study were as follow 1) to characterise the neuroplasticity of sympathetic ganglia in the adult rat, after exposure to long-term hypoxia and/or axotomy of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG). The cellular distributions of TH (tyrosine hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis) and VIP (vasointestinal peptide, which enhances the expression of TH) were examined.

3. 12. Screening and Assessment of Distress, Anxiety, and Depression in Cancer Patients

   Författare :Annika Thalén-Lindström; Birgitta Johansson; Bengt Glimelius; Pernilla Lagergren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Screening and assessment; anxiety; depression; psychosocial intervention; health-related quality of life; hospital anxiety and depression scale; distress thermometer; cancer; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Aims and Methods The overall aim was to evaluate methods of screening and assessment of distress, anxiety, and depression in cancer patients. Further, to evaluate effects of a psychosocial intervention and to explore changes of distress, anxiety, depression, and HRQoL during six months. LÄS MER

4. 13. A nutrition intervention in men with prostate cancer : Exploring effects on bowel symptoms from radiotherapy, patient experience, and nutrient intake

   Författare :Marina Forslund; Birgitta Johansson; Peter Nygren; Anna Ottenblad; Anna Winkvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nutrition intervention; bowel symptoms; radiotherapy; prostate cancer; Caring Sciences; Vårdvetenskap; Nutrition; Nutrition;

   Sammanfattning : Objective The main objective of this thesis was to explore the effects of a nutrition intervention on acute and late bowel symptoms in men with localised prostate cancer treated with pelvic radiotherapy (study I), participants’ experiences from receiving the nutrition intervention (study II), and associations with nutrient intakes (study III).Methods A total of 180 men with localised prostate cancer referred to curative radiotherapy targeting the prostate gland and pelvic lymph nodes were recruited to the trial.

5. 14. Studies of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction to define protective mechanisms in asthma

   Författare :Johan Bood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) occurs in the majority of asthmatics following vigorous exercise. EIB is caused by a loss of water from the airways creating a hyperosmolar environment in the tissue that in turn triggers the release of bronchoconstrictive mediators. LÄS MER

7. 15. Immunofluorescence Investigation on Neuroendocrine Secretory Protein 55 (NESP55) in Nervous Tissues

   Författare :Yongling Li; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NESP55; neuropeptdides; chromogranins; the CAD cell line; rat; spinal cord; sympathetic ganglia; retrograde tracing; immunofluorescence; confocal microscopy; secretory pathway;

   Sammanfattning : The chromogranin family is a group of acidic, soluble, and heat-stable proteins widespread in various neuronal, neuroendocrine and endocrine tissues, where they are subcellullarly located in the secretory granules, participating in the formation of the granules. Extracellularly, chromogranins may act as protein precursors, proteolytically processed to various small bioactive peptides. LÄS MER
