Acute and chronic peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis: neurogenic inflammation and citrate treatment
(2009-10-06)
The prevalent problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. During PD the patient is sustained on a state of intraperitoneal inflammation, which over time impairs structure, ...
Neurochemical and cognitive aftermaths of surgery - studies on short- and long-term effects of surgery and anesthesia
(2020-10-01)
Background: Each year, around the world, more than 230 million patients have surgery. Improvements in healthcare have resulted in older and sicker patients undergoing surgical interventions. As a result, surgical safety ...
Molecular and cellular interactions on noble metal nanopatterned surfaces − applications towards bone, soft tissue and infection control
(2014-05-09)
Biomaterial-associated infection is recognised as one of the main risks for failure of medical devices. The presence of a foreign material in tissues has been suggested to compromise the ability of host cells to eradicate ...
Central and Peripheral Neuroendocrine Factors in Cancer-Associated Anorexia and Cachexia
(2015-11-26)
Cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS) develops in response to tumor-host biochemical interactions. A loss of appetite (anorexia) and increased metabolism results in a progressive wasting of adipose and skeletal muscle ...

Inflammation and Cell Profileration Following Perinatal Brain Injury
(2010-08-30)
Inflammation plays an important role in cerebral ischemic injury in the immature brain. The aim of the thesis was to investigate (1) the role of astrocyte activation and reactive gliosis in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic (HI) ...
Neurobiological markers for personality, inflammation and stress: A naturalistic study in knee arthroplastic patients
(2013-03-25)

Exhaled particles for monitoring of airway inflammation
(2016-11-17)
Non-invasive collection methods suitable for studying the composition of the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF) in small airways are currently not readily available. The overall aim of this thesis was to contribute to ...
The effect of intra-abdominal local anaesthetics following major gynaecological surgery. Clinical and experimental studies
(2020-05-18)
Background: Local anaesthetics (LA), in addition to inhibition of pain signalling, also have anti-inflammatory
properties. In vitro studies have demonstrated anti-proliferative and cytotoxic effect of
LAs on cancer cells ...
Irradiation-induced injury to the juvenile brain -Roles of sex and inflammation
(2013-11-14)
