  3. 22. Coxsackievirus B3 Infection and Host Defence Responses Change the Metabolism of PBDE

    Författare :Magnus Lundgren; Nils-Gunnar Ilbäck; Hans Tjälve; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coxsackievirus; environmental pollutants; PBDE; cytokines; chemokines; metabolism; infection; tissue distribution; toxicology; virology; immunology; Toxicology; Toxikologi; Virology; Virologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : It has been suggested that the rising amounts of chemicals in the environment may affect host resistance and increase susceptibility to infections. Studies have also shown that infections can change the toxicity of pollutants. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Health hazards and cancer in relation to occupational exposures among Swedish seafarers

    Författare :Karl Forsell; Eva Andersson; Ingrid Liljelind; Bengt Järvholm; Bente Moen; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores health hazards for seafarers in the Swedish merchant fleet, and occupational risks for lung cancer, mesothelioma and hematologic malignancy (HM). A special focus has been exposure to benzene and biomarker levels for work on product or chemical tankers during the mid-1990’ies. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Exploring firefighters' health and wellbeing

    Författare :Ann Jacobsson; Backteman-Erlanson Susann; Christine Brulin; Annika Egan Sjölander; Eric Carlström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Firefighters; health; well-being; burnout; psychosocial work environment; coping strategies; critical incidents; experiences; discourse analysis; focus groups; focus group discussion; caring sciences in social sciences; omvårdnadsforskning med samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : Background: This thesis supports the assumption that firefighters’ health and mental well-being is important, in order to cope with the stress that the profession implies. As health is an essential part of everyday life, it seems substantially to understand how an almost exclusively male workforce of firefighters construct their discourse in relation to health and well-being.
