26. The role of monocytes in chronic inflammatory diseases
Sammanfattning : Monocytes and monocyte-derived cells are important players in the orchestration of inflammatory reactions in blood and peripheral tissues. However, little is known about the monocyte fate upon entry into human tissues, and current concepts are mainly based on animal models, with the addition of observational studies in humans that often do not allow determining causality.

27. Genetics of systemic autoimmunity and comorbidities
Sammanfattning : Sjögren‘s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease that typically affects the salivary and lacrimal glands leading to dry eyes and dry mouth, but the patients may also have systemic involvement. Most patients with SS carry autoantibodies, most often to the Ro (SSA) and La (SSB) proteins. LÄS MER
28. Re-evaluation of methods to identify individuals with increased risk of caries
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate methods used to identify individuals with increased risk of coronal caries lesion development. The specific aims were to:•evaluate the accuracy of different methods used to identify individuals with increased risk of developing dental coronal caries lesions (study I)•design and pilot a novel classification system for the assessment of caries lesion progression in bitewing radiography and to report rater agreement of the system (study II)•assess intra-individual differences in biofilm acid-tolerance between different tooth surfaces and inter-individual variation as well as stability of acid tolerance over time (study III)•assess diagnostic accuracy of two established methods and a candidate method to identify adolescents with increased risk of dental coronal caries lesion development (study IV).

29. Takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy and different types of stress
Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction with normal coronary angiography (MINCA) is an important subgroup of myocardial infarction for which the prevalence, underlying pathophysiology, prognosis and optimal management are still largely unknown. Interest in and awareness of MINCA has increased in recent years due to the frequent use of coronary angiography, the description of Takotsubo stress cardiomyopathy (TSC) and new sensitive troponin assays.

30. Extensive tooth wear in adults : classification and prosthetic treatment
Sammanfattning : Background: Tooth wear (TW) is an insidious and cumulative mul- tifactorial process that may comprise erosion, abrasion or attrition, and combinations thereof. These different processes are of chemical or physical origin and not microbiological. LÄS MER
