1. 1. Early rheumatoid arthritis aspects of severity and co-morbidity

   Författare :Lena Innala; Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Solbritt Rantapää Dahlqvist; Sᴓren Jacobsen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Early rheumatoid arthriti; ACPA; cardiovascular co-morbidity; age at onset; pharmacological therapy; severity; disease activity; co-morbidity;

   Sammanfattning : Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic progressive destructive joint disease with an increased risk for co-morbidity and premature death if untreated. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of death but also other co-morbid conditions contribute to the patient’s shorter life expectancy. LÄS MER

3. 2. Functional gastrointestinal disorders : co-morbidity and non-somatic aspects

   Författare :Ture Ålander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Epidemiology; gastrointestinal diseases; irritable bowel syndrome; dyspepsia; quality of life; child abuse; battered women; social support; anxiety; depression;

   Sammanfattning : Aims of the thesis: The first aim, (Study I) of this thesis was to compare co-morbidity of the reported symptoms and its relation to healthcare seeking behaviour among non-patients who had persistent functional gastro-intestinal disorders (FGID) or who were strictly GI symptom free (SSF). The second aim (study II) was to compare FGID sufferers primary health care consumption, as registered in their medical records. LÄS MER

4. 3. Provoked vestibulodynia : studies on pain genetics and pain co-morbidity

   Författare :Ulrika Heddini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :provoked vestibulodynia;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: The purpose of this thesis was to investigate a possible genetic predisposition for developing provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), focusing on previously defined single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in three genes with a known influence on endogenous pain modulation: GCH1, OPRM1 and 5HT-2A. We also investigated the effects of any potential interactions between these SNPs and the use of hormonal contraceptives, serum levels of β-endorphin and symptoms of anxiety and depression, on the risk of developing PVD and general pain sensitivity.

5. 4. Clinical and immunological aspects of IgG subclass deficiency : Predictors for the need of immunoglobulin replacement therapy

   Författare :Per Wågström; Charlotte Dahle; Sofia N. Nyström; Åsa Nilsdotter-Augustinsson; Mats Nilsson; Ola Winqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunoglobulin G subclass deficiency; inflammation; lymphocytes; fatigue; co-morbidity; immunoglobulin G replacement therapy;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Predominantly antibody deficiencies (PAD) are inborn errors of immunity, and associate with increased susceptibility to infections. Life-long immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) is introduced based on Ig-levels and the frequencies and severity of infections. LÄS MER
