  1. 1. Vaccine responses after chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies

    Författare :Sigrun Einarsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccination; chemotherapy; stem cell transplantation; antibodies; tetanus; diphtheria; polio; Tick-borne encephalitis TBE ; SARS-CoV-2;

    Sammanfattning : The prevention of infections in patients with hematological malignancies is important given the inherent immune deficiency associated with these diseases and the immunosuppressive effects of treatment. This thesis investigated the efficacy of vaccines against various pathogens among patients with hematological disease receiving chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation, including the longevity of vaccine responses.

  3. 2. Saving the child : regional, cultural and social aspects of the infant mortality decline in Iceland, 1770-1920

    Författare :ӓlöf Garðarsdóttir; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; infant mortality; neonatal mortality; breastfeeding; infant feeding; midwives; physicians; hygiene; neonatal tetanus; measles; fertility; literacy; history of medicine; Iceland;

    Sammanfattning : The dissertation deals with the infant mortality decline in Iceland during the 19th and early 20th Century. It shows that despite its low degree of urbanization, pre-transitional Iceland displayed higher infant mortality rates than most other European countries. LÄS MER

  4. 3. B-cell immunity in patients with hematological malignancies and after stem cell transplantation : studies with special reference to tetanus and pneumococcal immunity

    Författare :Viera Hammarström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Treatment of malignancies with cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or bone marrow or stem cell transplantation also suppress the immune system which becomes incapable of controlling infections. Therefore infections can remain a serious problem for an extended period in these patients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immune monitoring in humans after manipulation by B cell depletion and immunization

    Författare :Therese Vallerskog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The overall goal of this thesis was to study the influence of immunomodulatory drugs on the human immune system. The approach was bi-directional; ex vivo studies were performed after B cell depletion with rituximab treatment in patients with SLE and RA, and an in vivo assay was established to study effects of drugs on immune responsiveness.

  7. 5. Regulatory immune responses in humans naturally primed to Plasmodium falciparum or vaccinated with tetanum toxoid or purified protein derivative

    Författare :Gehad Elghazali; Thor Grundtvig Theander; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : It is well established that the balance between functionally distinct regulatory CD4+ T cells plays a major role in the development of immunity and/or pathogenesis to many different infections. In spite of the importance of Th lineage commitment in disease, the critical questions how the balance between Th1 and Th2 cells is regulated is largely unresolved. LÄS MER
