  1. 1. Infectious keratitis : causative microorganisms and how to detect them

    Författare :Susanna Sagerfors; Bo Söderquist; Birgitta Ejdervik Lindblad; Jesper Hjortdal; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infectious keratitis; corneal culture; C. macginleyi; targeted sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : First, to describe the microbial spectrum in infectious keratitis by both a culture and a targeted sequencing approach; second, to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of Corynebacterium macginleyi; and third, to study different aspects of the corneal culture process by comparing two instruments used for sampling and two sampling and inoculation strategies. The five studies in this thesis made use of two retrospective study populations and one prospective study population.

  4. 3. Studies on inflammation in atopic keratoconjunctivitis

    Författare :Emma Nivenius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :allergy;

    Sammanfattning : Atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) is an ocular inflammatory condition associated with atopic dermatitis. AKC is classified as ocular allergy but with features quite different from common seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. The clinical picture includes eyelid eczema, blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and some degree of keratitis. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Cellular receptors for viruses with ocular tropism

    Författare :Emma C Nilsson; Niklas Arnberg; Eric J Kremer; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; picornavirus; receptors; antivirals; Virology; Virologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Sammanfattning : Several viruses from different virus families are known to cause ocular infections, e.g. members of the Adenoviridae, Picornaviridae and the Herpesviridae families. These infections are spread by contact and in the case of adenoviruses (Ads) and picornaviruses they are also highly contagious. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Translational Research of Mendelian Disorders : Applications of Cutting-Edge Sequencing Techniques and Molecular Tools

    Författare :Sanna Gudmundsson; Marie-Louise Bondeson; Maria Wilbe; Niklas Dahl; Joris Veltman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; translational research; Mendelian disorders; intellectual disability; sequencing technologies;

    Sammanfattning : Up to 8% of all live-born children are affected with a congenital disorder. Some are Mendelian disorders of known etiology, but many are of undetermined genetic cause and mechanism, limiting diagnosis and treatment. LÄS MER
