  1. 6. Colonization, infection and dissemination in intensive care patients

    Författare :Christina Agvald-Öhman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Colonization; multi-resistant bacteria; dissemination; intensive care unit; invasive Candida infection;

    Sammanfattning : Nosocomial infections are a substantial problem in hospitals all over the world and the incidence is among the highest in the intensive care unit, affecting mortality and morbidity for the individual patient and cost for the society. In order to prevent these infections it is important to gain knowledge about colonization and infection pathways as well as about bacterial dissemination between patients. LÄS MER

  3. 7. The interactome of the Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 5 suggests novel roles in RNA and protein metabolism

    Författare :Josefine Ekholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Epstein-Barr virus; EBNA5; chaperone; proteasome; nucleolus;

    Sammanfattning : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a human herpes virus that infects B and epithelial cells of the oropharynx. EBV is transmitted by saliva and establishes a lifelong latency in over 90% of the world's population. During latency, the virus exists predominantly as multicopy episomes in the nuclei of memory B cells. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Human papillomavirus and other molecular markers in cancer of different oropharyngeal sub-sites

    Författare :Linnea Haeggblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a known risk factor for oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC), and over the past few decades OPSCC has increased drastically due to an HPV epidemic. The oropharynx contains different sub-sites, where sub-sites rich in lymphoid tissue, such as the tonsils and the tongue base, are suggested to be more prone to harbor an HPV infection, and cancer of these sub-sites is more often HPV-positive (HPV+).

  5. 9. Studies on the occurrence and effects of human papillomavirus in tumors of the head and neck

    Författare :David Lindquist; Tina Dalianis; Sonia Andersson; Karolinska Institutet Institutionen för onkologi-patologi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; onkologi; Oncology;

    Sammanfattning : The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) was first reported in 1985. Since then, this association has been studied intensively and today there is substantial evidence for HPV as a causative agent and positive prognostic factor for clinical outcome in tonsillar cancer, but the association to other HNSCC is still unclear.
