1. Macrophages in Crohn's Disease: lnnate immune cellular and molecular mechanisms driving intestinal inflammation and fibrosis
Sammanfattning : Macrophages and their interactions with the lamina propria and luminal microenvi-ronment are crucial in the pathogenesis of Crohn´s disease (CD), a chronic inflamma-tory disease with a strong inflammatory innate immune involvement. Therefore, in-terpreting macrophage activity in the intestinal microenvironment may identify treatment targets beneficial for at least a subgroup of patients. LÄS MER
2. Musculoskeletal Disorders among Farmers and Referents, with Special Reference to Occurence, Health Care Utilization and Etiological Factors : A Population-based Study
Sammanfattning : Objectives. To study the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms among farmers as compared to rural referents and to evaluate the effects of physical work exposures, psychosocial factors, lifestyle and comorbidity.Material and methods. A cross-sectional population-based survey of 1013 farmers and 769 matched referents was performed. LÄS MER
3. Impact of the gut microflora on the digestive system in the suckling rat
Sammanfattning : The postnatal development of the gastrointestinal (GI) system in mammals is genetically programmed, but is, to an unknown extent, regulated by external factors such as the diet and the gut microflora. These factors can influence the growth of the GI tract, the age-related pattern of appearance of digestive enzymes and the decreased intestinal macromolecular permeability at gut closure, normally timed with weaning in young rodents.

4. Mortality and cancer incidence following cerebral angiography with thorotrast
Sammanfattning : Epidemiological studies are important tools in assessing radiation-related health effects in humans. The most common form of radiation exposure is low-dose alpha-radiation such as that from radon. However, the long-term health effects of low-dose radiation are incompletely known. LÄS MER
5. Symptom burden among people with chronic disease
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Chronic diseases tend to increase with old age. Older people with chronic disease are commonly suffering from conditions which produce a multiplicity of symptoms and a decreased health-related quality of life. LÄS MER
