  2. 1. Genetic and environmental influences on major recurrent headaches

    Author : Dan A Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Headache; migraine; tension-type headache; genes; environment; heritability; genetic epidemiology; twin study;

    Abstract : The major recurrent headaches are migraine and tension-type headache. The aim of this thesis is to characterize the main genetic and environmental architecture of these idiopathic conditions of episodic cranial pain using the Swedish Twin Registry. READ MORE

  4. 2. Carbon dynamics in spruce forest ecosystems - modelling pools and trends for Swedish conditions

    Author : Magnus Svensson; Per-Erik Jansson; Dan Berggren Kleja; Keith Paustian; KTH; []
    Keywords : boreal; climate; CoupModel; net ecosystem production; nitrogen; process-based model; soil carbon; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Carbon (C) pools and fluxes in northern hemisphere forest ecosystems are attracting increasing attention concerning predicted climate change. This thesis studied C fluxes, particularly soil C dynamics, in spruce forest ecosystems in relation to interactions between physical/biological processes using a process-based ecosystem model (CoupModel) with data for Swedish conditions.

  5. 3. From Penicillin Binding Proteins to Community Interventions : Mathematical and Statistical Models Related to Antibiotic Resistance

    Author : Patricia Geli Rolfhamre; Åke Svensson; Mikael Andersson; Dan I. Andersson; Karl Ekdahl; Bruce R. Levin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antibiotic resistance; mathematical modeling; pharmacokinetics; pharmacodynamics; penicillin binding protein; postantibiotic effect; reversibility; selection; community intervention; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a major public health concern and mathematical models are important analytical tools for the understanding, evaluation and prediction of the resistance problem and related control strategies.The risk of emerging antibiotic resistance and selection has rarely been a concern in the design of antibiotic drug dosing regimens.

  6. 4. Evolution and Pharmacology of Receptors for Bradykinin and Neuropeptide Y in Vertebrates

    Author : Torun Bromée; dan larhammar; Nina Mohell; Samuel Svensson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; Pharmacology; Evolution; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : The bradykinin and neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). The GPCRs form the largest class of therapeutic targets and it is therefore of great interest to investigate the pharmacological properties, functions and evolution of these receptors. READ MORE
