  2. 1. Clinical and etiological studies on dementia of Alzheimer type and multiinfarct dementia

    Author : Gösta Bucht; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dementia of Alzheimer type; multiinfarct dementia; clinical studies; diagnosis; blood cerebrospinal fluid barrier function; cytogenetic changes; blood glucose; insulin secretion;

    Abstract : 1. Clinical studies. Clinical diagnosis of dementia has been made largely on the basis of clinical findings supported by appropriate radiological and laboratory investigations. A minority of patients have treatable or reversible underlying causes for their dementing syndrome. READ MORE

  4. 2. Avian malaria, life-history trade-offs and interspecific competition in Ficedula flycatchers

    Author : Katarzyna Kulma; Anna Qvarnström; Marlene Zuk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Blood parasites; competitive asymmetry; immunocompetence; interspecific competition; life-history trade-offs; MHC; parasite-driven selection;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of avian malaria (Haemosporidia) parasites on the outcome of interspecific competition between two closely related bird species, pied (Ficedula hypoleuca) and collared (F. albicollis) flycatchers. READ MORE

  5. 3. Immune moldulatory effects of intravenous immunoglobulin in vitro and after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

    Author : Sven Klaesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : IVIG; IgG; F ab 2; Fc; immune modulation; T cell responses; Bcell responses; cytokines; bone marrow transplantation; infections; CMV; graft-versus-hostdisease;

    Abstract : Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used in patients with immunodeficiencies and various autoimmune diseases. Its immune modulatory effect is well documented. In allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) IVIG has been used to reduce the incidence of infections and graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). READ MORE

  6. 4. Novel Computational Analyses of Allergens for Improved Allergenicity Risk Assessment and Characterization of IgE Reactivity Relationships

    Author : Daniel Soeria-Atmadja; Ulf Hammerling; Mats Gustafsson; Rob Aalberse; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergens; bioinformatics; statistical learning; performance estimation; risk assessment; Medical informatics; Medicinsk informatik;

    Abstract : Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated allergy is a major and seemingly increasing health problem in the Western countries. The combined usage of databases of molecular and clinical information on allergens (allergenic proteins) as well as new experimental platforms capable of generating huge amounts of allergy-related data from a single blood test holds great potential to enhance our knowledge of this complex disease.

  7. 5. Genetic epidemiology of cardiometabolic biomarkers : twin studies in the genomic era

    Author : Xu Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Following the Human Genome Project, many genomic approaches have been developed in genetic epidemiology to investigate the genetic influences on human complex traits. This thesis aims to answer four genetic epidemiological questions for cardiometabolic biomarkers/ traits, by using classical twin studies and novel genomic methods. READ MORE
