  1. 1. A clinical and experimental study of basal cell carcinoma : aspects on epidemiology, genetics and microphysiology

    Författare :Peter Wallberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Basal cell carcinoma; multiple basal cell carcinoma; HLA; X-ray microanalysis; incidence sequence specific primers; PCR;

    Sammanfattning : In the present thesis we report on basal cell carcinoma from the points of view of its incidence, risk factors and pathogenesis, with special interest in patients with more than one basal cell carcinoma in life. Incidence was studied for southern Stockholm during two periods separated by two decades, 1971-1980 and 1996-1997. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Infections in skin cancer

    Författare :Laila Sara Arroyo Mühr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The increasing prevalence of skin cancer results in that it will soon equal that of all other cancers combined. Sun exposure is a well-known risk factor for its development, but despite the growing public awareness of the harmful consequences of ultraviolet radiation, the cancer incidence continues to increase, implying that other factors might also have a role in promoting this disease.

  4. 3. Diversity of Skin Infections

    Författare :Johanna Ekström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papillomavirus; high-throughput sequencing; Staphylococcus auereus; multiple displacement amplification; non melanoma skin cancer;

    Sammanfattning : The identification of infectious agents in cancer has been one of the most rewarding endeavors in cancer research. Currently about 20% of the global cancer burden is linked to an infection. A common characteristic of virus-induced cancer is an increased incidence in immunosuppressed patients, presumably because of impaired host control of virus. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Birds and Borrelia

    Författare :Björn Olsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Borrelia; Ixodes ticks; Birds; Epidemiology; Zoonotisk ekologi; Virology; Mikrobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The Lyme disease causing spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is transmitted by ticks within the genus Ixodes. These ticks are liberal host seekers and parasitise mammals, birds and reptiles.Prior to this study, the distribution of I. ricinus ticks and Lyme disease was thought to be restricted to the southern half of Sweden.

  7. 5. Improved human papillomavirus DNA typing methods and biology of cervival cancer

    Författare :Biying Zheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervical cancer; human papillomavirus; Pyrosequencing; chemokine receptors; adenoassociated virus; biomarkers; and cell cycle checkpoint.;

    Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Persistent HPV has been identified as a main risk factor in cervical cancer development. Oncoproteins E6 and E7 of highrisk HPV interact with cellular proteins, subverting cell cycle checkpoint, inducing carcinogenesis. LÄS MER
