1. Genetic epidemiological aspects of obesity and related traits. Human studies in Swedish and North-American cohorts
Sammanfattning : Aims: To investigate two obesity candidate genes, the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) and the adiponectin hormone (APM1), by screening their genomic sequences. To search the human genome for quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to resting metabolic rate (RMR), and respiratory quotient (RQ). LÄS MER
2. Why so different? - Aspects of voice characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing : Aspects of voice characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing
Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses aspects of voice characteristics in operatic and musical theatre singing. The common aim of the studies was to identify respiratory, phonatory and resonatory characteristics accounting for salient voice timbre differences between singing styles. LÄS MER
3. Pulse oximetry : methodological considerations : experimental, in vitro and human investigations
Sammanfattning : Pulse oximeters monitor non-invasively the haemoglobin oxygen saturation. Light of two specific wavelengths, red and infrared light, is shined through a tissue, usually the finger, and the intensity of the light transmitted is measured. Oxyhaemoglobin absorbs the light differently when compared to reduced haemoglobin. LÄS MER
4. Nitrogen and Redox Metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : Anaerobic conversion of glucose to ethanol by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been studied. Glycerol is formed as a by-product in order to maintain the overall redox balance. LÄS MER
5. Life after extracorporeal membrane oxygenation : long-term survival and quality of life
Sammanfattning : Background: The use of Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has steadily increased in the last decades and has evolved in several ways. From originally being a means to support the neonatal patient with respiratory or circulatory failure for days to weeks, ECMO is now mainly used in paediatric and adult patients. LÄS MER
