  2. 1. Aggrecan fragments as biomarkers in osteoarthritis

    Author : Staffan Larsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protease; Aggrecan; osteoarthritis; proteoglycan; knee injury; biomarker; aggrecanase;

    Abstract : Background: In osteoarthritis (OA) the balance of cartilage matrix synthesis and degradation is disturbed, resulting in a gradual destruction of the articular cartilage. Matrix components released into body fluids by proteolytic cleavage can be used as biomarkers of ongoing processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. New insights into lubricated tribological contacts

    Author : Elin Larsson; Staffan Jacobson; Åsa Kassman Rudolphi; Jannica Heinrichs; Philip Shipway; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tribology; friction; wear; lubrication; fuel additive; boric acid; tribofilm; transport; fuel efficiency; surface analysis; grease; LiX grease; PP grease; fretting; electrical contacts; cross section; copper; silver; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot tribomaterial; Engineering Science with specialization in Tribo Materials;

    Abstract : The emissions of carbon dioxide, CO2, must rapidly be reduced to avoid severe climate change. Tribology-related solutions can be an important part in reducing these emissions. The aim of this thesis is to improve the fundamental knowledge in two tribology-related fields, both concerning lubrication, to enable such solutions in the future. READ MORE

  6. 4. Minimal volume ventilation in lung injury : With special reference to apnea and buffer treatment

    Author : Staffan Höstman; Anders Larsson; Hans Hjelmqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; VILI; THAM; buffers; apneic oxygenation; respiratory acidosis; hypercapnia; low volume ventilation; mechanical ventilation; ultra-protective ventilation; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Abstract : A fairly large portion of patients receiving surgical or intensive care will need mechanical ventilation at some point. The potential ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) is thus of interest. One of the main causal factors in VILI is the cyclic energy shifts, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Indoor Environmental Factors and Chronic Diseases in Swedish Pre-School Children : Risk factors and methodological issues investigated in a longitudinal study on airway diseases and autism spectrum disorder
