   Abstract : Neisseria meningitidis, also referred to as meningococcus, is one of the leading causes of epidemic meningitis and septicaemia worldwide. Despite modern treatment, meningococcal disease remains associated with a high mortality (about 10%). READ MORE

5. 3. On the influence of dopamine-related genetic variation on dopamine-related disorders

   Author : Olle Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : dopamine; neurodevelopment; amygdala; schizophrenia; Parkinson s disease; social anxiety disorder; ADHD; PITX3; LMX1A; LMX1B; BDNF; DAT; SNP; genes; genetics; BDNF;

   Abstract : Rationale: Dopamine synthesizing neurons are involved in a wide variety of functions. The most prominent dopamine pathways originate in the midbrain. The development, function and survival of these dopaminergic neurons are under the influence of numerous transcription and neurotrophic factors. READ MORE

   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Mozambique is one of the high burden tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) countries with a prevalence of HIV infection in adults of 11.5% and an estimated TB prevalence of 559 per 100 000 population. Fifty six percent of the TB patients in Mozambique are estimated to be HIV positive. READ MORE

7. 5. The Monoamine Oxidase A Gene and Antisocial Outcomes : An Examination of Genetic, Epigenetic, and Environmental Factors

   Author : David Checknita; Kent W. Nilsson; Lars Westberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Epigenetics; Antisocial; Genotype; Maltreatment;

   Abstract : Background. Antisocial behaviour involves violation of the basic rights of others or social norms or rules. Such behaviours are indexed in diagnoses such as conduct disorder (CD) in adolescence and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) in adulthood, which are typified by comorbidity with mood, anxiety, and substance misuse disorders.
