  2. 11. Population-based studies of higher-level gait disorders and hydrocephalus : focused on brain ventricular morphometry and patient outcomes following shunt surgery

    Author : Jenny Larsson; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Hanna Israelsson Larsen; Lars-Owe D. Koskinen; Uwe Kehler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Higher-level gait disorder; Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus; Ventriculomegaly; Falls; Fear of Falling; Self-efficacy; Depression; Quality of life; Adverse events; Headache; Epilepsy; Abdominal pain;

    Abstract : Background: To study gait is of great importance for the health of the aging population. Higher-level gait disorders (HLGD) are characterized by a slow, symmetrical, unsteady gait. Its cause is most often unknown. HLGD in combination with ventriculomegaly (i. READ MORE

  4. 12. PROTEIN VACCINE AGAINST NEONATAL GROUP B STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION Immunization experiments in animals and a serological study in humans

    Author : Charlotte U Larsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; mycology; bacteriology; Microbiology; virologi; mykologi; neonatal infection; human antibody; intranasal; vaccine; cholera toxin B subunit; Rib; α; Group B streptococcus; surface protein; Mikrobiologi; virology;

    Abstract : Infection with group B streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium, is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Capsular polysaccharides and cell surface proteins of GBS are candidate antigens for development of a human GBS vaccine. Proteins have many advantages as vaccine antigens. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Random graphs; k-SAT; satisfiability; coupon collector; random cover time; threshold phenomenon; concentration of measure; combinatorial probability; perfect matching; assignment problem; local graph limit; mean-field; Mathematics; matematik;

    Abstract : In Paper I, we study the following optimization problem: in the complete bipartite graph where edges are given i.i.d. weights of pseudo-dimension q>0, find a perfect matching with minimal total weight. READ MORE

  6. 14. Computational methods for analyzing dioxin-like compounds and identifying potential aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands : multivariate studies based on human and rodent in vitro data

    Abstract : Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are omnipresent and persistent environmental pollutants. In particular, 29 congeners are of special concern, and these are usually referred to as dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). READ MORE

  7. 15. Diet and ovarian cancer : a population-based cohort of 60 000 women

    Author : Susanna C Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ovarian cancer represents the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women in Western countries. Hence, identification of risk factors amenable to modification, such as diet, is of considerable public health relevance as it could provide means for primary prevention of this malignancy. READ MORE
