  2. 1. Numerical methods for mapping of multiple QTL

    Author : Kajsa Ljungberg; Sverker Holmgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Beräkningsvetenskap; Scientific Computing;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns numerical methods for mapping of multiple quantitative trait loci, QTL. Interactions between multiple genetic loci influencing important traits, such as growth rate in farm animals and predisposition to cancer in humans, make it necessary to search for several QTL simultaneously.

  4. 2. Variable viral genes as genetic immunogens

    Author : Karl Ljungberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Influenza; hemagglutinin; HIV-1; gp160; DNA vaccine; genetic immunization; CpG; GM-CSF; pseudovirus.;

    Abstract : Influenza and HIV-1 are two highly variable viruses that cause extensive morbidity and mortality in many countries. The most cost-effective medical intervention against influenza is vaccination but this has to be repeated annually because of the low antigenicity of the vaccine. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cardiovascular risk factors in aortic stenosis

    Author : Johan Ljungberg; Stefan Söderberg; Bengt Johansson; Peter Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Valvular heart disease; aortic stenosis; bicuspid aortic valve; cardiovascular risk factors; hypertension; diabetes mellitus; smoking; hypercholesterolemia; obesity; shrunken pore; renal failure; Epidemiology; epidemiologi; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Abstract : Introduction: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common hemodynamic significant valvular heart disease and affects about 2% of the population. The incidence increases with age. When symptoms of the stenotic aortic valve disease eventually occur the 2-year mortality exceeds 50%. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prediction of survival in prostate cancer : aspects on localised, locally advanced and metastatic disease

    Author : David Robinson; Eberhard Varenhorst; Börje Ljungberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Protstate cancer; oncology; PSA diagnosisk; TNM classification; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Background and aims: The clinical course of prostate cancer is highly variable and difficult to predict.Stage at presentation, grade and PSA at diagnosis are traditionally used to predict outcome. The aimof this thesis was to identify strategies for improved survival prediction in men with prostate cancer. READ MORE
