1. Perforations of the Upper Gastro-Intestinal Tract
Abstract : Material and methods: In all, 237 consecutive patients with a perforated peptic ulcer admitted from 1974-1992 and 125 consecutive patients with an oesophageal perforation admitted from 1970-2006 to Lund University hospital were studied retrospectively. Prognostic factors were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. READ MORE

2. Beyond the basal ganglia
Abstract : Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal, hereditary disorder caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the protein huntingtin. Although mutant huntingtin is ubiquitously expressed throughout the body, HD research has mainly focused on the role of the basal ganglia. READ MORE

3. Identification and characterisation of bacteria based on 16S rDNA techniques with special reference to Helicobacter pylori in the gastro-intestinal tract
Abstract : The overall aim of this study was to establish molecular techniques for the detection and identification of "difficult to grow" - bacteria in mixed bacterial populations in clinical samples without the need for culturing procedures.Material and Methods: Thirty-nine strains of Mobiluncus were used as a model system for phylogenetic classification of fastidious bacteria based on 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences.

4. Gastro-intestinal toxicity related to haemopoietic stem cell transplantation with a special focus on the intestinal barrier function
Abstract : The myeloablative, cytotoxic therapy (conditioning treatment) prior to haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has the combined purpose of eliminating leukaemic or cancer cells located in the bone marrow or elsewhere in the body and, in the allogeneic setting, of suppressing the immune response of the recipient to prevent marrow rejection. The unwanted effect is the inevitable elimination of normal, haemopoietic stem cells, a lethal effect which is circumvented by the following administration of haemopoietic stem cells from the patient (autologous HSCT) or from a related or an unrelated donor (allogeneic HSCT).

5. On the control of the microflora in the gastro intestinal tract : functional examples of antibacterial peptides from Helicobacter pylori and mouse small intestine
Abstract : The human microflora contains at least 400 different species mainly localized to the gastro-intestinal tract. This indigenous flora is controlled by host factors as well as by the interference within the microbial community through the action of antimicrobial components. These components are in the focus of this thesis. READ MORE
