   Abstract : The laboratory and clinical management of alloimmunized in pregnancy has been investigated according to a protocol currently in use in Örebro region. A 12 year epidemiological study showed the prevalence of alloimmunization to be 0.57% in this Swedish populationwith a 0. READ MORE

4. 2. Neuropeptides in temporomandibular joint arthritis

   Author : Anna Appelgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adjuvant; Arthritis; Calcitonin gene-related peptide; Glucocorticosteroids; Hippocampus; Hyperalgesia; Hypothalamus; Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis; Intra-articular temperature; Neurokinin A; Neuropeptides; Neuropeptide Y; Nociception; Pain; Pituitary; Pressure pain threshold; Rheumatoid arthritis; Substance P; Synovial fluid; Temporomandibularjoint; Visual analog scale;

   Abstract : Involvement of the peripheral and central nervous systems in the pathophysiology of arthritis has been suggested and neuropeptides are thought to participate in the mediation and modulation of the inflammatory process. The main objective of the clinical studies was to investigate the relationship between the presence of neuropeptides in the synovial fluid of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the stomatognathic symptoms and signs, including the intra-articular temperature (IAT), in patients with TMJ arthritis.

5. 3. Automated serological technique with special emphasis on a solid phase test for red cell antibody detection in routine blood banking

   Author : Suzanne Sallander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : solid phase; RBC antibody screening; alloimmunisation in pregnancy; automation;

   Abstract : Automated serological techniques for erythrocyte antigen typing and antibody screening are presented and evaluated in a larger number of samples and throughout routine processing. Both techniques are microplate-adapted with computerised sample identification, sample and reagent dispensing, and interpretation of results. READ MORE

6. 4. Anti-D antibodies : In vitro tests to predict the severity of hemolytic disease of the newborn

   Author : Jan-Olof Hildén; Lennart Rydberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The ability of different in vitro tests to predict the severity of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) has been studied. When properly performed the traditional indirect antiglobulin titers (IAT) on maternal serum can be used to identify a low !iter group ~32 in which the fetus will not suffer from severe hemolytic disease and a high titer group ~1000 where all newboms will be affected.
