1. Therapy-resistant enuresis : In search of new therapies and prognostic markers
Sammanfattning : A large minority of children with enuresis do not respond to treatment with either desmopressin or the enuresis alarm. Anticholinergics have not proven as successful as expected. The fourth evidence-based treatment of enuresis, the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine, is cardiotoxic when overdosed, which has led to diminished use. LÄS MER
2. Novel oil resistant cellulosic materials
Sammanfattning : The aim of this study has been to prepare and characterise oil resistant cellulosic materials, ranging from model surfaces to papers and aerogels. The cellulosic materials were made oil resistant by chemical and topographic modifications, based on surface energy, surface roughness and barrier approaches. LÄS MER
3. Vaccination against drug-resistant HIV
Sammanfattning : As the use of antiretroviral drug treatment increases worldwide, development of drug resistant HIV phenotypes is expected to increase. The frequency of drug- or multi-drug resistant virus transmitted in primary infections will consequently be more abundant. Logical vaccine targets in drug-resistant strains are reverse transcriptase and protease. LÄS MER
4. MRSA and other resistant bacteria : prevalence, patient and staff experiences, wounds and infection control
Sammanfattning : Antibiotic resistance has become a major and serious global problem in healthcare. Limited treatment options for infections caused by these organisms can lead to increased morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER
5. Modelling and Simulation to Improve Antimalarial Therapy
Sammanfattning : The introduction of artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) substantially reduced malaria-related mortality and morbidity during the past decade. Despite the widespread use of ACT, there is still a considerable knowledge gap with regards to safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties of these drugs, particularly in vulnerable populations like children and pregnant women.
