  1. 16. Axial spondyloarthritis - with special emphasis on prevalence, perceived health and predictors

    Författare :Ulf Lindström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; axial spondyloarthritis; ankylosing spondylitis; epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : The objectives of this thesis were to assess the validity of the diagnostic codes for ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondyloarthritis in the national patient register (study I), and to estimate the prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis in Sweden, as well as to compare the prevalence according to geographic and demographic factors (study II). Further, to compare inflammatory back pain, and perceived health, in different subtypes of spondyloarthritis (study III), and to investigate predictive associations between perinatal characteristics, and childhood infections, with later development of ankylosing spondylitis (study IV and V).

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; methotrexate; cutaneous melanoma; risk; organ transplant recipients; dermoscopy;

    Sammanfattning : Methotrexate (MTX) is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drug commonly used to treat psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) is a common and dangerous type of skin cancer and in recent decades a noteworthy increase in incidence has been observed. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Chronic inflammatory disease and its treatment during pregnancy

  5. 19. Chronic inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment and risk of malignant lymphomas

    Författare :Karin Hellgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the link between malignant lymphomas and chronic inflammation, in particular the associations between inflammatory activity, immune-modulatory treatment and risk of lymphoma development. To address this aim, we used Swedish population-based registers, mandatory cancer reporting and nation-wide clinical registers including the Swedish Rheumatology Register (SRQ). LÄS MER

  7. 20. 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
