  1. 11. Aspects of pertussis, pertussis vaccination and adverse events associated with aluminum adsorbed vaccines

    Författare :Elisabet Bergfors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Pertussis; parapertussis; pertussis toxoid; vaccine; vaccination; vaccine trial; adjuvant; aluminium; adsorbed vaccines; adverse event; pruritic nodules; itching nodules; granuloma; sensitisation; hypersensitivity; contact allergy;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis originates in a clinical study of one of the new acellular pertussis vaccines performed in Göteborg in the 1990s. The monocomponent vaccine, pertussis toxoid adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide, had previously been shown to have an efficacy of 71%. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Invasive haemophilus influenzae infection. Clinical, immunologic and pathogenic aspects

    Författare :Svante Hugosson; Sweden Gothenburg University of Gothenburg; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Haemophilus influenzae; epidemiology; mortality; vaccination; epiglottitis; meningitis; hearing loss; neuropsychology immunology; physiopathology; adhesion;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive Haemophilus influenzae (Hi) infection, predominantly manifested as acute meningitis and epiglottitis, is a serious disease with associated mortality and residual handicap. Prevention of the disease is possible by vaccination against Hi serotype b (Hib). LÄS MER

  4. 13. Molecular Palaeopathology : Ancient DNA analyses of the bacterial diseases tuberculosis and leprosy

    Sammanfattning : This thesis “Molecular Palaeopathology. Ancient DNA analyses of the bacterial diseases tuberculosis and leprosy” deals with molecular palaeopathology, i.e. in this case the use of molecular methods to analyse ancient bacterial DNA in order to get further knowledge of diseases in ancient times.

  5. 14. Causes and consequences of blood parasite infections in birds

    Författare :Martin Stjernman; Biodiversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi; Parasitologi människa och djur ; Parasitology human and animal ; maternal transfer; stabilising selection; parasite resistance; parasites; trade-off; cost of reproduction; Ficedula hypoleuca; pied flycatcher; Haemoproteus; blue tit; Parus caeruleus;

    Sammanfattning : Parasites are ubiquitous and can cause significant fitness reductions to their hosts. Therefore, selection for the evolution of host resistance should be strong. However, resistance may be costly and should be traded-off against other fitness related traits. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Vaccination against Her2/neu : expressing cancer using chimeric virus-like particles

    Författare :Kalle Andreasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Thanks to the development of vaccines, children are these days protected against infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria and tetanus simply by receiving a few injections. Imagine a scenario where these injections would also result in protection against cancer. LÄS MER
