Cystic fibrosis in adults. Diagnostic, epidemiologic and quality-of-life aspects
(2007-03-30)Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disease. The type of mutation in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene will determine the degree of CFTR chloride channel malfunction. ... -
Cytochrome P450 2E1 - relevance for central dopamine neurotransmission and Parkinson's disease
(2008-08-25)Introduction: The enzyme cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) has been found in dopamine (DA) containing brain regions that are of relevance for Parkinson’s disease (PD), and is known to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), ... -
Cytochrome P450 enzymes affected by artemisinin antimalarials-pharmacokinetic and pharmacogenetic aspects
(2008-11-03)With more than 500 million cases and at least 1 million deaths each year, malaria is a major global health problem. The main problem with malaria control is the emerging drug resistance among parasites causing the infection. ... -
Cytokines and lipids in pregnancy – effects on developmental programming and placental nutrient transfer
(2010-08-12)Metabolic disturbances, in particular those associated with nutritional challenges, that take place during development, both in utero and early postnatal life, have long-lasting health consequences on an individual. The ... -
Cytokines and their soluble receptors in nasal fluids from school children with allergic rhinitis
(2000)Allergic inflammation is associated with a shift in the balance between cytokines produced by two T helper subsets (Th1 and Th2) towards a preponderance of Th2 cells. Interleukin (IL)-4 is produced by Th2 cells and ... -
Cytokines in Metabolic Functions
(2008-02-28)During infections, circulating cytokines are largely produced by immune cells. In healthy obese individuals, large parts of these circulating cytokines are produced in adipose tissue, for instance by macrophages that have ... -
Cytokines in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis. For better for worse.
(2000)Septic arthritis is an inflammatory condition in joints caused by in situ residing bacteria accompanied by a septic reaction. Bacteria reach their target via the blood stream and the major human pathogen is Staphylococcus ... -
The cytolethal distending toxin of Haemophilus ducreyi. Prevalence and effects on normal cells
(2002)Haemophilus ducreyi is a fastidious Gram-negative bacterium that causes the sexually transmitted disease chancroid. The disease is endemic in many developing countries and occurs as restricted outbreaks in the industrialised ... -
The cytolethal distending toxin of Haemophilus ducreyi. Purification and biological activity
(2005)Haemophilus ducreyi is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes the sexually transmitted disease (STD) chancroid. The disease is endemic in many developing countries, and occurs as restricted outbreaks in the industrialized ... -
Cytomegalovirus Infection in Heart and Lung Transplant Patients with focus on long-term outcome
(2014-11-06)Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a common opportunistic infection after heart and lung transplantation. The aims of this thesis were to relate the incidence and severity of CMV infection and disease to different forms ...
