  1. 1. Middle ear structure in relation to function : the rat in middle ear research

    Författare :Nils Albiin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :rats; Eustachian tube; ear; middle; tympanic membrane; palatal muscles; mucous membrane; blood vessels; mast cells; otitis media; microscopy; electron;

    Sammanfattning : The present study was undertaken to evaluate the rat as a model for middle ear re­search. The rat was chosen primarily because the gross structure of its middle ear shows several similarities to that of man. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Optical Methods for Tympanic Membrane Characterisation : Towards Objective Otoscopy in Otitis Media

    Författare :Mikael Sundberg; Tomas Strömberg; Ton van Leeuwen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Optical Methods; Spectroscopy; Surface Curvature; Monte Carlo; Tympanic Membrane; Otitis Media; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Otitis media, which is an upper respiratory tract infection that affect the middle ear, is the second most common disease in childhood, outnumbered in prevalence only by the common cold. Diagnosis of middle ear inflammation is often performed in the primary healthcare where the normal procedure involves anamnesis and physical examination of the tympanic membranes (TM) of the patient, usually be means of otoscopy.

  4. 3. Binding of plasma proteins by Staphylococcus epidermidis: characterisation of protein-protein interactions

    Författare :Dai-Qing Li; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; mice and immunisation; biomaterial-associated infections; von Willebrand factor; thrombospondin; clusterin; Staphylococcal receptins; vitronectin; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), in particular, Staphylococcus epidermidis, have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens associated with infections of implanted medical devices. These organisms, which are among the most prevalent bacteria of the human skin and mucous membrane microflora, gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Quality of life in patients with malignant blood disorders : a clinical and methodological study

    Författare :Lena Wettergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Health-related quality of life; Hodgkin s lymphoma; individual quality of life; malignant blood disorders; SEIQoL-DW;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate and, improve measurements of, health-related quality of life (HRQL) in patients with malignant blood disorders. Patients undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT), long-term (>5 years) survivors of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and a randomly selected control group were studied. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The role of gastrin and extracellular matrix proteins in proliferation and differentiation of gastric epithelial cells

    Författare :Karin Tømmerås; Andrés Uribe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanisms regulating the proliferation and differentiation processes that give rise to and maintain the gastric epithelium have not yet been completely elucidated.In the present studies, in vitro models were established and the influence of growth factors and extracellular matrix proteins on these processes were investigated.
