    Sammanfattning : There is an urgent need for Bangladesh to identify the arsenic (As) contaminated tubewells (TWs) in order to assess the health risks and initiate appropriate mitigation measures. This involves testing water in millions of TWs and raising community awareness about the health problems related to chronic As exposure from drinking water, and providing alternative safe water option for the exposed population of the country.

  4. 3. HIV-1 infection in Tanzania with special reference to early diagnosis in children and preparations for vaccine trials

    Författare :Eligius Francis Lyamuya; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV; CD4 T-cell; early diagnosis; HIV DNA PCR; incidence; prevalence; vaccine trials; Tanzania; Africa;

    Sammanfattning : The studies reported in this thesis aimed at identifying simple, suitable and affordable assays for HIV monitoring and for early diagnosis in children, and establishing the suitability of a potential cohort for HIV vaccine trials in Tanzania. In a field evaluation of three alternative methods for quantification of T-lymphocyte subsets, we found high overall correlation coefficients (r>0. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Embryonic and adult cardiac stem cells : molecular, electrophysical and immunological characteristics for cardiac repair

    Författare :Rami Genead; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :human resident cardiac progenitor;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The concept of myocardial regeneration by means of stimulating the endogenous regenerative potential in situ is an attractive approach. This offers distinct advantages to stem cell implantation where the problems with engraftment and immune rejection are avoided. LÄS MER
