2. 1. Health, Risk-Taking Behavior and Sexuality in Swedish Adolescents

   Author : Lars I Holmberg; Claes Sundelin; Lars Jacobsson; Dan Hellberg; Erik Bergström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Pediatrics; unplanned pregnacy; abortion; adolescents; young men; individual support; Outpatient Clinic for Adolescents; Sweden; decision making; grounded theory; health behavior; risk behavior; sexual behavior; vocational program; theoretical program; Pediatrik;

   Abstract : The overall aims of this research were to develop methods of identifying adolescents with unhealthy and/or risk-taking behavior with special reference to sexuality, and to evaluate support measures for young people in need of such interventions. A further aim was to assess strategies for preventing unhealthy and/or risk-taking behavior. READ MORE

4. 2. Genetic analysis of murine malaria

   Author : Susana Campino; Dan Holmberg; Nils Lycke; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Malaria; genetic analysis; Plasmodium; wild derived inbred strains; loci; cerebral malaria; hyperparasitaemia.; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; genetik; Genetics;

   Abstract : Malaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, is one of the major world-scale health problems. Despite the efforts aimed at finding an effective way to control the disease, the success has been thwarted by the emergence of parasite drug resistance and mosquito resistance to insecticides.

5. 3. Molecular and cellular mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diabetes

   Author : Nádia Duarte; Dan Holmberg; David Serreze; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; type 1 diabetes; NOD mouse; susceptibility loci; Idd6; Lrmp; gene; NKT; CD1d; TCR; mast cells; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder determined both by genetic and environmental factors. The Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is one of the best animal models of this disease. It spontaneously develops diabetes through a process resembling the human pathogenesis. READ MORE

6. 4. Mapping genetic diseases in northern Sweden

   Author : Elisabet Einarsdottir; Dan Holmberg; Gösta Holmgren; Ulf Gyllensten; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; isolated populations; linkage disequilibrium; linkage analysis; genome-wide scan; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy; type 1 diabetes mellitus; type 2 diabetes mellitus; autoimmune thyroid disease; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : The population of northern Sweden has previously been shown to be well suited for the mapping of monogenic diseases. In this thesis we have tested the hypothesis that this population could also be used for efficient identification of risk genes for common diseases. READ MORE

7. 5. Identifying Risk Genes for Cervical Cancer : Using Affected Sib-Pairs and Case-Control Materials from Sweden

   Author : Malin Engelmark; Ulf Gyllensten; Dan Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medicine; Cervical cancer; HPV; Affected sib-pairs; HLA; Fas; Genomewide scan; 9q32; TSCOT; Medicin;

   Abstract : Cervical cancer is a multifactorial disease. Infection by oncogenic types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) is the major environmental risk factor and host genetic susceptibility also influences disease development. The aim of this thesis is to identify and analyse risk genes involved in the genetic predisposition to cervical carcinoma. READ MORE
