   Abstract : Influenza viruses have sporadically caused pandemics during the last century, with the most severe occurring in 1918 when the “Spanish flu”, an A/H1N1 influenza virus, passed around the globe killing about 20-100 million people. Today 250 000-500 000 deaths occur annually due to influenza virus or secondary infection after influenza, e.g. READ MORE

4. 12. Influenza specific T- and B-cell responses in immunosuppressed patients

   Author : Aditya Sai Ambati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Influenza, known as the ‘flu’, is a recurrent acute viral infection that might cause severe inflammation, particularly in vulnerable individuals, i.e. young children, the elderly, and immune-suppressed patients, such as stem cell transplant recipients. READ MORE

5. 13. Treatment of arthritis with tumour necrosis factor antagonists. Clinical, immunological and biochemical aspects

   Author : Meliha C Kapetanovic; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Skeleton; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; ANA; infusion reaction; influenza vaccination; pneumococcal vaccination; COMP; TNF antagonists; spondylarthropathies; arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis;

   Abstract : Abstract The treatment of arthritis has undergone a dramatic change since biological agents targeting specific mediators of the disease process have been introduced. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have been shown to reduce signs and symptoms of disease and to retard the development of tissue damage in the majority of patients. READ MORE

6. 14. Infectious immunity and pneumococcal vaccine responses in multiple myeloma and related disorders

   Author : Johanna Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multiple myeloma; Waldenstrom s macroglobulinemia; MGUS; elderly; immunity; infection; pneumococcal vaccination; ELISA; opsonophagocytosis;

   Abstract : Multiple myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM), and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are B cell conditions associated with suppressed immune functions and susceptibility to infection. Severe pneumococcal disease is common not least in MM patients and vaccination is considered important, although the protective efficacy is debated. READ MORE

7. 15. Understanding Complex Diseases and Disease Causative Agents : The Machine Learning way

   Author : Zeeshan Khaliq; Jan Komorowski; Steven Bosinger; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Pathogens; Influenza A viruses; Human immunodeficiency virus; Simian immunodeficiency virus; Pathogenicity; Cancer; long noncoding RNAs; Machine learning; Host specificity; Host-specific signatures; Bioinformatics; Bioinformatik;

   Abstract : Diseases can be caused by foreign agents – pathogens – such as viruses, bacteria and other parasites, entering the body or by an internal malfunction of the body itself. The partial understanding of diseases like cancer and the ones caused by viruses, like the influenza A viruses (IAVs) and the human immunodeficiency virus, means we still do not have an efficient cure or defence against them.
