  1. 16. Studies on fibronectin binding proteins, proteases, and virulence in Staphylococcus aureus

    Författare :Patricia Saravia Otten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Staphylococcus aureus produces several surface proteins, many of which bind specifically to different host extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and plasma proteins, such as fibronectin, collagen and fibrinogen. Two highly homologous fibronectin binding proteins (FnBPA and FnBPB), enconded by fnbA and fnbB, have been characterized. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Aortic valve imaging - Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis

    Författare :Erika Fagman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prosthetic valve endocarditis; aortic valve endocarditis; ECG-gated CT; cardiac CT; 18F-FDG PET CT;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : About ten yearly cases of liver abscess are presented in University Hospital, León, Nicaragua. Based on serology most of them have been shown to be amoebiasis cases. This raised the question of Entameoba histolytica prevalence in the population. Based on microscopy of stool specimens and serology, about 20% prevalence was found. LÄS MER
