    Sammanfattning : Problems associated with interpreting and comparing epidemiological studies dealing with chronic arthropathies in children include the diversity of classification criteria and selection bias. This study is a step towards elucidating the impact of genetic and environmental factors on disease frequencies and manifestations of Juvenile Chronic Arthritis (JCA) in Costa Rica. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Molecular characterisation and prophylactic treatment strategies among women with benign gynecological disorders

    Sammanfattning : Background: Female reproduction is controlled by hormones in a timed and well-coordinated manner by the hypothalamus- pituitary - ovarian axis. In response to the ovarian hormones such as estrogen, and progesterone, endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus, undergoes repeated cycles of tissue growth, differentiation, tissue shedding and remodelling.

  4. 23. Pharmaceutical And Immunollogical Challenge Of Fungal Pathogens

    Författare :Marios Stylianou; Constantin F. Urban; Christophe d' Enfert; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mast cells; Candida albicans; yeast to hyphal form; antifungal drugs; repurposed drugs; HTS;

    Sammanfattning : Incidences of fungal infections are on the rise in immunosuppressed people. Predominant causative agents for these mycoses are species of the genus Candida, including Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Candida dublieniensis. Despite a wide range of emerging pathogens, C. albicans remains the leading cause. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Bifurcations and Exchange of Stability with Density Dependence in a Coinfection Model and an Age-structured Population Model

    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In nature many pathogens and in particular strains of pathogens with negative effects on species coexists. This is for simplicity often ignored in many epidemiological models. It is however still of interest to get a deeper understanding how this coexistence affects the dynamics of the disease. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Epidemiology, prevention and control of hepatitis A virus infection in the European Union

    Sammanfattning : Hepatitis A is an acute liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV) and transmitted via the faecal-oral route through person-to-person transmission, contaminated food or water. The frequency and severity of symptoms increases with age, with the elderlies and patients with other liver disease at risk of hospitalisation, acute liver failure and death. LÄS MER
