  2. 1. Population-based prediction of atrial fibrillation

    Author : Gustav Smith; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; prediction; epidemiology; genetics; natriuretic peptide; heart failure;

    Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and increases in prevalence. As AF confers increased risk of morbidity, stroke, dementia and mortality, a major objective of cardiovascular epidemiology today is the development of tools for prediction and prevention of AF and its consequences.

  4. 2. Female genital Graft-versus-Host Disease - Diagnosis, Treatment, Incidence, Long-term Prevalence, and Impact on Androgen Hormones and Sexual Function

    Author : Eva Smith Knutsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allogeneic stem cell transplantation; chronic graft-versus-host disease; female genitalia; diagnostic; treatment; androgens in women; glucocorticosteroids; sexual dysfunction;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT BACKGROUND. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) is the major cause of morbidity after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT), and contributes to non-relapse mortality. Caused by donor cells, cGvHD is a multi-organ syndrome involving tissue inflammation and fibrosis. AIMS. READ MORE

  5. 3. Safe Nutrient Recovery from Human Urine - System and Hygiene Evaluation of Alkaline Urine Dehydration

    Author : Jenna Senecal-Smith; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : Only 7% of the world’s wastewater receives tertiary treatment, while the rest is causing eutrophication, hypoxia and climate change through the plant nutrients found in excreta, particularly urine. If managed adequately, urine can be used as a fertiliser because it contains the same nutrients as the fertilisers used to produce food world-wide. READ MORE

  6. 4. Site-Specific Recombination : Integrases, Accessory Factors and DNA Targets of P2-like Coliphages

    Author : Lina Sylwan; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Margaret C. M. Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : The temperate coliphage P2 and its family members integrate their genomes into the host Escherichia coli chromosome by a site-specific recombination mechanism to form lysogeny. Integration takes place between the complex phage attP site and the simple bacterial attB site and is catalyzed by the phage encoded integrase (Int). READ MORE

  7. 5. Structural Studies of Three Glycosidases

    Author : Anna Larsson; Alwyn Jones; Janet Smith; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; glycosidase; dextranase; mannanase; endoglucanase; SeMet; MAD; crystal structure; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Glycosidases hydrolyse the glycosidic bond in carbohydrates. Structural studies of three glycosidases with different substrate specificities are presented in this work.Dextranase catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,6-glycosidic linkage in dextran polymers. READ MORE
