  2. 1. Exploring Cancer Drugs In Vitro and In Vivo : With Special Reference to Chemosensitivity Testing and Early Clinical Development

    Author : Anne von Heideman; Peter Nygren; Bengt Tholander; Rolf Larsson; Seija Grénman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytotoxic drug; in vitro assay; drug development; phase I clinical trial; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to investigate the utility of in vitro drug sensitivity testing to optimize the use of cancer chemotherapy and to assess the properties of a new cancer drug in a phase I clinical trial. Tumour cells from patients were analysed with the short-term Fluorometric Microculture Cytotoxicity Assay (FMCA). READ MORE

  4. 2. Circumventing drug resistance : Studies exploring the expediency of a total cell kill chemoresistance assay

    Author : Bertil Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; drug resistance; drug resistance assay; clinical correlations; cancer; human; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Cellular resistance to anti-cancer drugs is considered to be the major cause of treatment failure in clinical practice. The present studies have therefore focused on ways to circumvent resistance as evaluated by an in vitro chemoresistance assay. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of new methodology for therapeutic drug monitoring of thiopurine treatment

    Author : Svante Vikingsson; Curt Peterson; Björn Carlsson; Martin Josefsson; Sven Almer; Johan Ahlner; Lynne Lennard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Thiopurines; mercaptopurine; thioguanine; azathioprine; crohn s disease; ulcertive colitis; HPLC; TGN;

    Abstract : The three thiopurine drugs azathioprine (AZA), 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG) are used to treat several diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). They are pro-drugs and are believed to act through the formation of thioguanine nucleotides (TGNs). READ MORE

  6. 4. Drug research and development - case scenarios, development process, risks and benefits

    Author : Ivor Cowlrick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; drug discovery and development; benefit and risk; decision making; entrepreneurship; open innovation;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND AND AIMS. Drug development has been classically associated with large pharmaceutical companies developing ‘blockbuster’ drugs aimed at large patient populations through high market penetration and multiple indication life cycle management. Higher costs and lower output have rendered this model inefficient and unsustainable. READ MORE

  7. 5. Urinary tract infections in primary health care in northern Sweden : epidemiological, bacteriological and clinical aspects

    Author : Sven Ferry; Bengt Mattsson; Lars Burman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection UTI ; primary health care PHC ; epidemiology; clinical presentation; bacteriuria diagnosis; bacteriology; drug resistance; therapy;

    Abstract : The epidemiology of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the population of Vännäs (8 000 inhabitants) was studied during one year. The annual incidence increased from 0.5% in the first decade of life to more than 10% in the age group 90-100 years. READ MORE
