We studied the consequences of a decrease in the autopsy frequency for the accuracy of the death certificates and the cause of death registry. LÄS MER
2. Insulin-like Growth Factor System: functional role and regulation in carcinomas
Sammanfattning : The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system demonstrates numerous actions during neoplastic growth and is therefore an interesting target with potential clinical implications. While numerous studies have established important roles of the IGF system in regulating cellular growth and survival of several tumor forms, very limited reports exist regarding its role in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

3. Fall prediction and a high-intensity functional exercise programme to improve physical functions and to prevent falls among older people living in residential care facilities
Sammanfattning : Impairments in balance, mobility, and lower-limb strength are common in the growing population of older people and can lead to dramatic consequences for the individual, such as dependency in activities of daily living, admission to nursing home, falls, and fractures. The main purposes of this thesis were, among older people in residential care facilities, to validate a fall-risk assessment tool and to evaluate a high-intensity functional weight-bearing exercise pro-gramme regarding its applicability as well as its effect on physical functions and falls.

Sammanfattning : Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the modern world and major efforts are made globally to develop new diagnostics and treatments. It originates from a cell which, at some point, has begun to divide and grow uncontrollably. The most common type is breast cancer, and like all other cancers there is a need of more efficient drug therapies. LÄS MER
