Functional Modulation of the Pattern Recognition Formyl Peptide Receptors in Neutrophils - Lipopeptides - allosteric modulators of G-protein coupled receptors
(2017-01-20)
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are the largest class of cell-surface receptors, are involved in a range of physiologic processes and pathologies, making this a highly interesting group of proteins as targets ...
Cardiovascular risk factors in renal artery stenosis
(2017-05-11)
Renovascular hypertension (RVH) caused by atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) is
one of the most common forms of secondary hypertension. The prognosis for patients with
RVH is much worse compared to patients ...
Three-dimensional guidance for Endovascular Aortic Repair
(2017-09-25)
Image fusion (IF) of preoperative computed tomography (CT) with intraoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) is a potentially powerful tool for guidance during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). It may improve intraoperative anatomic ...
Maternal and placental inflammatory biomarkers in spontaneous preterm delivery - Predictive ability, stability and neonatal associations
(2017-03-28)
Preterm delivery (PTD), spontaneous or iatrogenic, causes short- and
long-term morbidity and underlies almost 75% of neonatal deaths. The prevalence in the Nordic countries is about 6% but it differs
among countries. In ...
Pain in paediatric dentistry. Experiences, attitudes and knowledge from the perspective of the child, the adolescent and the dentist.
(2017-01-04)
Aim. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the frequency and intensity of general and oral pain, and oral discomfort in Swedish children and adolescents (with or without a disability). A further objective was to ...
Developing brain and systemic inflammation: a "Toll-like" link with consequences
(2017-05-24)
The developing brain is vulnerable to external insults, and perinatal brain injury (PBI) is a major cause of life-long neurological syndromes such as cerebral palsy. Currently, no pharmaceutical intervention is available. ...
Gait and motion analysis of hip arthroplasty. Validity, reliability and longterm results
(2017-11-17)
Introduction: Walking is one of the most fundamental activities of daily living in humans, when the hip joints transfer power between the lower extremities and the pelvis. Hip osteoarthritis (OA) will more or less influence ...
Identification of esters in carious dentine Staining and chemo-mechanical excavation
(2017-02-17)
Dental caries is clinically seen as a yellowish-brown discoloration that can be explained by the reactions between proteins and sugars resulting in Maillard products. However, the discoloration of carious dentine is an ...
Diagnostic Methods in Traumatic Brain Injury
(2017-04-20)
Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. Early detection and quantification of TBI is important for acute management, for making early accurate prognoses of outcome, and ...
