6. Studies of bioactive lipids in cancer
Sammanfattning : Lipids are a broad class of molecules that, besides being a major form of energy storage and components of cell membranes, act as bioactive signalling molecules. N-acyl taurines are structurally related to endocannabinoids that are known to exert antiproliferative actions in a variety of cancer cells. LÄS MER
7. Urinary Bladder Carcinoma – Studies of Outcome of Current Management and Experimental Therapy
Sammanfattning : The thesis concerns the epidemiology, current and possible future treatment of urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder. The Swedish National Quality Registry for Bladder Cancer 1997-2001 was used to explore epidemiology, current therapies and outcome. More common in men, the incidence for Ta and T1 tumours peaks in the age range 70-79 years. LÄS MER
8. Formation and role of nitric oxide in host defense reactions in the urinary bladder
Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological mediator and cell signaling molecule. It is also involved in several host defense reactions. NO is formed in vivo from L-arginine by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS). However, it can also be formed non-enzymatically from acidified nitrite. LÄS MER
9. On the role of nitric oxide in lower urinary tract disease
Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important biological molecule with a variety of functions. Among other, it is a signalling molecule capable of inducing smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilatation, it regulates proliferation, can induce apoptosis and act as an effector molecule in host defence reactions and in immune regulatory processes.

10. Clinical and prophylactic studies of human tuberculosis in a low-endemic setting
Sammanfattning : Sweden is a low burden country for tuberculosis (TB). New cases occur mainly among immigrants from countries with a higher TB prevalence. Most persons infected with TB (latent TB) will not develop disease (active TB). Prolonged treatment is necessary and can cause severe adverse drug reactions. LÄS MER
