1. Dissecting the Genetic Basis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : The Pursuit of Functional Variants
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease that primarily affects women during the childbearing years. SLE is characterized by the production of autoantibodies against nucleic acids and their interacting proteins. LÄS MER
2. Frågeformulär och patientupplevelser vid systemisk lupus erythematosus : en metodstudie och en kvalitativ studie
Sammanfattning : Systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE) är en reumatisk systemsjukdom som kan leda till en varierande sjukdomsbild beroende på sjukdomsaktivitet och vilket/vilka organ som är drabbade. Kvinnor drabbas i större utsträckning än män, 9:1. Trötthet är mycket vanligt och förekommer även vid mild och inaktiv sjukdom. LÄS MER
3. Patients’ experiences and patient-reported outcome measures in systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe experiences of persons with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc), with a focus on functioningand health, and to evaluate patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).Methods The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), measuring fatigue and its consequences in SLE, was translated into Swedish and tested for aspects of reliability and validity (study I).

4. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. LÄS MER
5. Complement in Autoimmunity - the importance of clearing waste
Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where improperly cleared apoptotic cells and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) induce an autoimmune response. Complement is crucial to prevent SLE by tailoring immune responses and opsonizing dead cells but may also induce inflammation and tissue damage once the disease is initiated. LÄS MER
