    Abstract : Many patients experience pain after surgery. Postoperative pain may lead to delayed mobilization, persisting pain, and psychosocial distress. Others are given excessive analgesic doses and experience side effects. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mapping genetic diseases in northern Sweden

    Abstract : The population of northern Sweden has previously been shown to be well suited for the mapping of monogenic diseases. In this thesis we have tested the hypothesis that this population could also be used for efficient identification of risk genes for common diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biosynthesis and physiological functions of N-acyl amino acids

    Author : Dominik Paweł Waluk; Mary C. Hunt; David Merkler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : N-acyl amino acids are lipid signalling molecules that have recently been identified in biological systems. These lipids are structurally related to the endocannabinoids, although they do not activate cannabinoid receptors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Genetics and Labor Pain Behavior

    Author : Fatimah Dabo Pettersson; Helena Åkerud; Inger Sundström Poromaa; Fred Nyberg; Pelle Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Labor may perhaps be the most painful a woman might experience, although characterized by large inter-individual variability. The perceived pain during labor is the result of diverse factors, i.e. her previous pain experiences, the analgesia she receives and maybe also her genes. READ MORE
