2. 21. Fatigue in patients with chronic heart failure. Patient experience and consequences of fatigue in daily life

   Author : Kristin Falk; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : fatigue; chronic heart failure; uncertainty; sense of coherence; anxiety; depression; symptom distress; hemoglobin; functional status;

   Abstract : Although fatigue is a prevalent and distressing symptom in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), it is an underestimated problem in the care of patients, and consequently, insufficiently investigated. The primary aim of this thesis was, therefore, to advance the knowledge from the patients? perspective by describing characteristics of the fatigue experience and its consequences in daily life in patients with CHF.

4. 22. Functional Materials for Perovskite Solar Cells

   Author : Wei Zhang; Lars Kloo; Neil Robertson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; perovskite solar cell; photovoltaic device; lead-free light absorbers; hole-transport materials; coordination complexes; p-type dopants; organic salts; surface passivation.; Kemi; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Energy plays a significant role in our daily lives, but most energy provided by fossil fuels causes serious environmental problems including air pollution, global warming, and ecological damage. In addition, it has been estimated that all of our fossil fuels will run out in 2088 and thus it is highly important to study and apply renewable energy sources. READ MORE

5. 23. Gastrointestinal disturbances in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis

   Author : Jonas Wixner; Ole B Suhr; Intissar Anan; Pontus Karling; Anders Rönnblom; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autonomic Nervous Systems; Cajal Interstitial Cells; Enteric Nervous System; Familial Amyloid Polyneuropathy; Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders; Gastric Emptying; Liver Transplantation; Nutrition Status; Transthyretin Amyloidosis; medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : BackgroundTransthyretin amyloid (ATTR) amyloidosis is a systemic disorder caused by amyloid deposits formed by misfolded transthyretin (TTR) monomers. Two main forms exist – wild-type and hereditary ATTR amyloidosis, the latter associated with TTR gene mutations. READ MORE

6. 24. Morphological and functional effects of insulin signaling and the bHLH transcription factor Dimmed on different neuron types in Drosophila

   Author : Yiting Liu; Dick R. Nässel; Irene Miguel-Aliaga; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; insulin signaling; Dimm; neuropeptide; insulin receptor; insulin-like peptide; drosophila; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

   Abstract : In Drosophila, the insulin signaling pathway is at the interface between dietary conditions and control of growth and development, reproduction, stress responses and life span. Eight insulin like peptides (Dilp1-8), an insulin tyrosine kinase receptor (dInR) and its downstream components, as well as a relaxin-like receptor type (Lgr3) form the core of this signaling.

7. 25. Regulation of insulin signaling and its developmental and functional roles on peptidergic neurons in the Drosophila central nervous system

   Author : Jiangnan Luo; Dick Nässel; Susan Broughton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Insulin; serotonin; octopamine; insulin receptor; Dimm; neuropeptide; funktionell zoomorfologi; Functional Zoomorphology;

   Abstract : In Drosophila, eight insulin-like peptides (DILP1-8) are produced and secreted in different locations. They regulate many aspects of development and physiology, such as organism growth, metabolic homeostasis, reproduction, stress resistance and life span. READ MORE
