  1. 1. Autoantibodies and genetic variation in rheumatoid arthritis : aspects on susceptibility and disease course

    Författare :Alf Kastbom; Thomas Skogh; Peter Söderkvist; Alex Karlsson-Parra; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; autoantibodies; single-nucleotide polymorphisms; disease course; Rheumatology; Reumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation and subsequent destruction of synovial joints. Although its causes remain largely unknown, a substantial genetic contribution is known to exist. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A good death from the perspective of patients with severe illness and advance care planning (ACP) in patients near end-of-life

    Författare :Lisa Kastbom; Anna Milberg; Marit Karlsson; Magnus Falk; Ulla Molander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Previous research has indicated that what constitutes a good death is heterogenic and complex although there are some recurrent themes and similarities regardless individual background factors. Studies on advance care planning (ACP), i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Sexual behaviour, debut and identity among Swedish Schoolchildren

    Författare :Åsa A. Kastbom; Carl Göran Svedin; Gunilla Sydsjö; Therése Skoog; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Background: Sexual behaviour among schoolchildren and adolescents is a sparsely researched area and there are delicate methodological obstacles and ethical concerns when conducting such research. Still it is a subject that engages both parents and professionals. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Systemic and local regulation of experimental arthritis by IFN-α, dendritic cells and uridine

    Författare :Sudeep Chenna Narendra; Mattias Magnusson; Srinivas Uppugunduri; Alf Kastbom; Natacha Bessis; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we have studied the immunological processes of joint inflammation that may be targets for future treatment of patients with arthritis. We focus on the immune-modulating properties of interferon-α (IFN-α) and uridine in experimental arthritis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Fc receptors and immunoglobulins in polyarthritis : A matter of function, supply and demand?

    Författare :Peter Matt; Ulla Lindqvist; Sandra Kleinau; Alf Kastbom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Fc receptors (FcR) and immunoglobulins (Ig) play important roles in the defence against pathogens. However, altered interactions of these may promote chronic inflammation in rheumatic diseases. An excess of Igs forming immune complexes (IC) could lead to continuous FcR activation and spreading of autoimmune inflammation to other tissues. LÄS MER
