  2. 11. Internal Dosimetry in Nuclear Fuel Fabrication : Occupational Exposure to Uranium Aerosols

    Author : Edvin Hansson; Mats Eriksson; Håkan Pettersson; Per Roos; Michael Sandborg; Bastian Breustedt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Uranium; Aerosol; Internal; Dose; Nuclear;

    Abstract : The production of nuclear fuel can be associated with occupational exposure to ionizing radiation from radioactive decay of uranium. Such exposure must be sufficiently low and radiation doses adequately determined. Radiation doses from internal exposure, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 12. Metabolic aspects on diabetic nephropathy

    Author : Maria Svensson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; invärtesmedicin; Internal Medicine;

    Abstract : Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease and renal failure. This study focused on the impact of glycemic control on the development of DN and the metabolic consequences of DN. The euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique was used to assess insulin sensitivity and insulin clearance. READ MORE

  5. 13. Respiratory and cardiovascular effects of exposure to oxidative air pollutants

    Abstract : Background: The negative effects of air pollution on morbidity and mortality have been known since the mid 20th century. The two most well known examples are the Meuse Valley disaster in the 1930’ies and the London black fog in December 1952. READ MORE

  6. 14. Cabin Air Quality in Commercial Aircraft : Exposure, Symptoms and Signs

    Author : Torsten Lindgren; Dan Norbäck; Gunilla Wieslander; Jan Sundell; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : The objective of the dissertation was to study the cabin environment, and identify personal and environmental risk factors, associated with symptoms, and perception of cabin air quality. Another objective was to study if ban of smoking, and increased relative air humidity on intercontinental flights, could have a beneficial health effect. READ MORE

  7. 15. IgA Nephropathy – Mucosal Immunity and Treatment Options

    Author : Hilde Kloster Smerud; Bengt Fellström; Gudjon Kristjansson; Roger Hällgren; Johan W. de Fijter; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : In the present studies we have explored the link between food hypersensitivity and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and evaluated treatment options in primary and recurrent disease. Approximately one third of our IgAN patients had a rectal mucosal sensitivity to gluten, as demonstrated by increased local mucosal nitric oxide production and/or myeloperoxidase release after gluten challenge.
