    Abstract : Today, the growing and aging population, and the rise of new global threats on human health puts an increasing demand on the healthcare system and calls for preventive actions. To make existing medical treatments more efficient and widely accessible and to prevent the emergence of new threats such as drug-resistant bacteria, improved diagnostic technologies are needed.

    Abstract : Gasfasympning är en del i den moderna strategin för optimering av den molekylära designen av biomaterial. Kovalent ytmodifiering med hydrofila vinylmonomerer och koppling med bioaktiva grupper används för att öka biokompatibiliteten och bioaktiviteten hos biomaterialen.. READ MORE

  5. 3. Leg ulcer management in primary care with special reference to pinch grafting

    Author : Rut Öien; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; General practice; medical training; Allmän medicinsk utövning; medicinsk utbildning; muscle system; Skeleton; diameter product; grid tracing; digital planimetry; ulcer size; pain relief; vasculitis; rheumatoid arthritis; cost analysis; healing rate; pinch grafting; aetiology; prevalence; Leg ulcer; primary care;

    Abstract : Wound management in primary and community care was investigated throughout a period of 12 years within a well-defined population in one county in Southern Sweden. The estimated prevalence of chronic leg and foot ulcers was 0.19% in 1998 and the mean prevalence was 0.20% during the years 1994-1998. READ MORE

  6. 4. Relating the Bulk and Interface Structure of Hyaluronan to Physical Properties of Future Biomaterials

    Author : Ida Berts; Jöns Hilborn; Adrian R Rennie; Giovanna Fragneto; John W White; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This dissertation describes a structural investigation of hyaluronan (HA) with neutron scattering techniques. HA is a natural biopolymer and one of the major components of the extracellular matrix, synovial fluid, and vitreous humor. READ MORE

  7. 5. Use of neural progenitor cell lines and astrocytes for transplantation and gene transfer to the CNS

    Author : Cecilia Lundberg; CNS Genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fimbria-fornix lesion; NGF; tyrosine hydroxylase; Parkinson s disease; integration; differentiation; temperature-sensitive; grafting; Neurology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Intracerebral neuronal transplantation have been shown to ameliorate symptoms of brain dysfunction in both animals models and Parkinson's disease, although problems still remain. The newly introduced technique of ex vivo gene transfer could serve as an alternative approach, possible avoiding some of the draw-backs of the embryonal tissue used in neuronal grafting. READ MORE
