  2. 1. Assessing carotid plaque structure

    Author : Isabel Goncalves; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Modified LDL; Antibodies; Lipids; AP-1; Cellularity; Extracellular Matrix; Calcification; Elastin; Stroke; Gray-Scale Median; Echogenicity; Ultrasound; Atherosclerosis; Carotid Plaque;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death and disability in the western world. Its clinical complications include acute myocardial infarction, sudden death and stroke. Thirty to 40 % of all ischemic strokes are caused by a carotid stenosis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hyaluronan in normal and malignant bone marrow : a clinical and morphological study with emphasis on myelofibrosis

    Author : Gunnel Sundström; Anna Engström-Laurent; Anders Wahlin; Hans Wadenvik; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Hyaluronan; reticulin; fibrosis; chronic myeloproliferative disorders; acute myeloid leukemia; anagrelide; bone marrow; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Fibrosis in the bone marrow is usually denominated myelofibrosis and may contribute to impaired hematopoiesis. Myelofibrosis is seen both in malignant and non-malignant diseases. READ MORE

  5. 3. Impact of intestinal worms on distal immune response and control of co-infections

    Author : Xiaogang Feng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parasitic worm infections have been suggested to impair control of secondary infections and vaccine efficacy. However, the experimental data regarding the capacity of intestinal nematodes to modulate host immune responses was lacking and the mechanism underlying dampened immune responses, particularly those distal to the gut, incompletely understood.

  6. 4. Clinical and immunopathological studies in Hodgkin's disease with special reference to prognosis

    Author : Ulla Axdorph; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have certain features in common, but also distinct clinical and pathological differences. Thus, HD has many features of both an infectious (fever, leukocytosis, eosinophilia, night sweats, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly) and a malignant process with few tumour cells, T-cell accumulation and sclerosis.

  7. 5. Immunohepatotoxicity of the persistent environmental pollutants perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS)

    Author : Mousumi Rahman Qazi; Joe DePierre; Christopher Lau; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Perfluorooctanoate; Perfluorooctane sulfonate; Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha; Hepatomegaly; Immunotoxicity; Thymus; Spleen; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), manufactured for a variety of industrial and consumer applications, are ubiquitous environmental pollutants. Their accumulation in humans and wildlife raises serious health concerns. Here, we examined the potential effects of PFOA and PFOS on the innate immune system in mice. READ MORE
