1. 1. On the epidemiology, clinical presentation and transmission of respiratory viral infections

   Författare :Nicklas Sundell; Göteborgs universitet; Göteborgs universitet; Gothenburg University; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; respiratory viruses; measles; influenza; epidemiology; meteorological factors; real-time PCR; viral transmission; lower respiratory tract infection;

   Sammanfattning : Respiratory viral infections encompass a large heterogenous group of pathogens that constitute a major burden of disease globally. The various routes of transmission including airborne spread make them difficult to control. LÄS MER

3. 2. Genetic Risk Factors for Cervical Carcinoma in situ

   Författare :Anna Beskow; Peter L Stern; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Cervical carcinoma; human papillomavirus; viral load; long-term infection; HLA class II; p53; E6 variant; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

   Sammanfattning : Oncogenic human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are implicated in 99.7 % of cervical cancer cases but require the co-operation of other factors. To investigate potential genetic risk factors we have typed the HLA class II DRB1 and DQB1 loci in 478 women diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in situ and in 608 age-matched controls. LÄS MER

4. 3. Gene therapy in epilepsy: neuropeptides and neurotrophic factors

   Författare :Irene Kanter Schlifke; Lund Wallenberg Neurocentrum; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; piriform cortex; hippocampus; neuropsykologi; encapsulated cells; viral vectors; GDNF; galanin; epilepsy; gene therapy; neurofysiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of epilepsy among adult patients, and the most problematic one as seizures cannot be controlled by currently available drugs in 30 % of patients. Gene therapy based on overexpression of endogenous anti-epileptic agents such as the neuropeptide galanin and the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) represents a promising new approach for treatment of TLE.

5. 4. Hox transcription factors in hematopoiesis

   Författare :Jon Mar Björnsson; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; extracellular fluids; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor; Haematology; hematopoies; tet; Hox; cre lox;

   Sammanfattning : Hematopoiesis is a lifelong, dynamic process in which a small number of pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) residing in the bone marrow (BM) give rise to billions of mature blood cells of both myeloid and lymphoid origin each day. This enormous capacity of HSC has been utilized in BM transplantations for 4 decades and is also very important for future gene therapy. LÄS MER

7. 5. Early life cytokines, viral infections and IgE-mediated allergic disease

   Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Gunnar Lilja; Maria Jenmalm; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IgE-sensitisation; childhood; cytokine; viral infection; atopy; single nucleotide polymorphism; cord blood; Immunology; Immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: The reasons why some individuals become IgE-sensitised and allergic are largely unknown, though genetic- and early life environmental factors seem to be of importance.Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between IgE-sensitisation and allergic disease, viral infections, genetic markers and early life cytokines.
