  2. 1. Return to work : exploring paths toward work after spinal cord injury and designing a rehabilitation intervention

    Author : Lisa Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Return to work (RTW) after spinal cord injury (SCI) often involves a complex and extended process for the person, due to consequences of the injury. There is limited evidence on how to support a person with SCI during the RTW process, and employment rates are low in Sweden, as well as internationally. READ MORE

  4. 2. Molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA replication

    Author : Teresa Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Mitochondria; mtDNA; replication; helicase; TWINKLE; POLgamma; POLgammaB; mtSSB; adPEO;

    Abstract : Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles of eukaryotic cells. The organelle has its own genome, the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that encodes 13 subunits of the respiratory chain (RC) complexes, two rRNAs and 22 tRNAs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Influence of maternal allergy on the intra uterine environment and on immune functions of the neonate

    Author : Ulrika Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Allergy; CD14; cord blood; cytokines; human placenta; IgE; Toll-like receptors;

    Abstract : The prevalence of IgE mediated allergic diseases has drastically increased during the past few decades and there is no satisfactory explanation. A family history of allergic disease is clearly a strong risk factor, bin in view of the rapidity of the increase in allergy prevalence environmental factors are likely to have played a crucial role.

  6. 4. Ancient DNA as a Means to Investigate the European Neolithic

    Author : Helena Malmström; Anders Göterström; Gunilla Holmlund; T Brown; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; aDNA; contamination; authentication; mtDNA; Neolithisation; Genetik;

    Abstract : The transition from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a farming lifestyle, i.e. the Neolithisation, is arguably the most important event in human prehistory. While the geography and dating of the Neolithisation is well known, the process is still under debate, especially if it occurred through diffusion of ideas or with migrating farmers. READ MORE

  7. 5. Energy expenditure and accelerometer cut-points for sedentary behavior and physical activity in spinal cord injury : implication for guiding and prevention

    Author : Tobias Holmlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI) alters the prerequisites for physical activity (PA) and subsequently energy expenditure. Persons with SCI above thoracic level six have a compromised physiological response, which further compromises energy expenditure, during exercise. READ MORE
