    Nyckelord :malaria;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Despite being easily preventable and treatable, malaria and pneumonia are major killers of children aged less than five years. Integrated community based interventions through which lay persons called community health workers (CHWs) can manage malaria, pneumonia, diarrhea and neonatal conditions are recommended by WHO and UNICEF.

  4. 8. Functional and structural studies on CYP21 mutants in congenital adrenal hyperplasia

    Författare :Tiina Robins; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Congenital adrenal hyperplasia; CAH; CYP21; enzyme activity; modeling; genotype phenotype relationships; structure function relationships.;

    Sammanfattning : Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders, affecting around 1/10 000 newborns worldwide. A defect in the gene encoding steroid 21-hydroxylase, CYP21, results in impaired synthesis of cortisol and in most cases also aldosterone. LÄS MER

This is the case when the newborn presents ambiguous external genitalia and an immediate sex assignment is not possible. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Systems biology approaches to investigate mechanisms of obstructive lung diseases

    Författare :Marika Ström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are obstructive lung diseases with a large impact on global health, causing 400 000 and 3 million deaths respectively each year. The numbers may be underestimated, since COPD often contributes to death without being registered as the cause of death. LÄS MER
