Pelvic floor muscle training is an effective first-line treatment for this condition but many women do not seek help from their ordinary health care service. LÄS MER
22. Genetic, molecular and functional analyses of factor I - an inhibitor of the complement system
Sammanfattning : Factor I (FI) is a serine protease that inhibits the complement system by cleaving activated C3 and C4 complement proteins, in the presence of cofactors. Mutations in the gene coding for FI have been identified in complete FI deficient- and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) patients. LÄS MER
23. Conséquences d’un stress chronique sur la barrière de mucus intestinal chez le rat : effet du probiotique Lactobacillus farciminis
Sammanfattning : Background. Despite a large body of literature incriminating mucus alterations in the pathogenesis of Intestinal Bowel Diseases (IBD), structural and physical changes in the mucus layer remain poorly understood in the micro-inflammatory context of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

24. On the stimulatory effect of microglial cells on angiogenesis
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Angiogenesis, the process by which new vessels sprout from pre-existing vessels, is fundamental to development, tissue growth and repair. The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of microglia on angiogenesis. We adapted the rat ex vivo/in vitro aortic ring model to the mouse in a 3-D culture system. LÄS MER
25. Pathogenesis of infections related to foreign devices within the cerebral ventricles
Sammanfattning : Coagulase-negative staphyloccoci (CoNS) are the most frequently isolated micro-organisms from infected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunts and temporary ventricular drainage catheters, used in modern neurosurgery. CoNS originate from the skinflora of the patient or the surgeon and gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion, but the infection can erupt up to a year later or more. LÄS MER
