2. 21. Genetic studies of colorectal cancer

   Author : Johanna Skoglund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : colorectal cancer; linkage analysis; TGFBR1; case-control study; meta-analysis;

   Abstract : Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide with an incidence rate of over 1 million cases per year. A genetic contribution has been suggested to be involved in around 35% of all colorectal cancer cases. READ MORE

4. 22. On the relationship between spinal pain and temporomandibular disorders

   Abstract : Both spinal pain and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) commonly occur in the general population. Previous studies demonstrate neurophysiologic and biomechanical couplings between the trigeminal and cervical regions. READ MORE

5. 23. Genetic studies on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : A fine mapping and candidate gene approach

   Author : Veronica Magnusson; Jerry Lanchbury; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Linkage in the 2q37 region was evaluated using microsatellite markers in multi-case families from Sweden, Iceland and Norway. Both the two-point and the multipoint linkage analysis show highly significant LOD scores (Z=4.51 and 6.03, respectively). READ MORE

6. 24. Nonmalignant health effects of arsenic exposure

   Author : Mahfuzar Rahman; Per Gustavsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : arsenic; case-control study; cross-sectional study; diabetes mellitus; drinking water; epidemiology; exposure; keratosis; public health. hypertension; risk factors; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : This thesis comprises a series of studies concerning occupational and environmental exposure to arsenic and some novel chronic health effects of this element, namely diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Substantial prevalence of the well-known skin manifestations of arsenic ingestion was also found to occur as a result of environmental exposure through drinking water. READ MORE

7. 25. Diet and postmenopausal breast cancer - With a focus on low-grade inflammation

   Author : Joana Alves Dias; Nutritionsepidemiologi; []
   Keywords : Oxidative stress; low-grade inflammation; Biomarkers of inflammation; cytokines; ICC; variation; diet; dietary recommendations; diet quality index; food patterns; reduced rank regression; obesity; CVD; postmenopausal breast cancer; epidemiology; cross sectional; nested case-control;

   Abstract : Diet-breast cancer studies have shown that “healthy eating patterns” are associated with decreased risk whereas unhealthy patterns (especially those including alcohol) are associated with increased risk, particularly in postmenopausal women. The potential mechanisms behind the observed associations are still under investigation. READ MORE
