  2. 1. Endometrial carcinoma : steroid hormones and receptors in relation to proliferation

    Author : Karin Boman; Torbjörn Bäckström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The significance of the hormonal milieu for endometrial changes is as well-known as its link with endometrial carcinoma. Unopposed oestradiol treatment is shown to increase the incidence for this cancer. Obesity leads to elevated levels of oestrogens and is a risk factor for endometrial carcinoma. READ MORE

  4. 2. Inner strength as a health resource among older women

    Author : Erika Boman; Regina Santamäki Fischer; Berit Lundman; Björn Nygren; Häggblom Anette; Anna-Karin Edberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Connectedness; creativity; flexibility; firmness; inner strength; old age; women;

    Abstract : Background Long life does not inevitably mean more healthy years; older women have an increased risk of disabilities, diseases and adverse life events. Nevertheless, many older women experience health. This may be explained by possessing resources that promote health, despite adversities. Inner strength is seen as a resource as such. READ MORE

  5. 3. XPS studies of an organic anode and hole-conductor system : PEDOT-PSS

    Author : Stina Karin Maria Jönsson; Magnus Boman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with photoelectron spectroscopy of conducting polymer systems. A particular system, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)­ polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT-PSS), has been the main focus of this work. It is an aqueous colloidal dispersion consisting of doped conjugated polymer PEDOT with counter ions provided by the PSS chains. READ MORE

  6. 4. Apoptosis, proliferation, and sex steroid receptors in endometrium and endometrial carcinoma

    Author : Marju Dahmoun; Torbjörn Bäckström; Karin Boman; Stefan Cajander; Seija Grénman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; estradiol; progesterone; steroid receptors; apoptosis; proliferation; endometrial carcinoma; Ki-67; p53; immunohistochemistry; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the involvement of apoptosis and proliferation in the mechanisms of menstruation and hormonal replacement therapy, HRT, as well as in the mechanisms of progesterone therapy in endometrial carcinoma. The aim of the first study was to investigate endometrium for 4 days before and for 2 days during menstruation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Nano-porous Alumina, a Potential Bone Implant Coating

    Author : Marjam Karlsson; Karin Caldwell; Mats Boman; Matteo Santin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemistry; Nano-porous aluminium oxide; Biomaterial; Hard tissue implant; Surface topography; Osteoblast; Biocompatibility; Neutrophil; Inflammation; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes a method of growing a highly adherent nano-porous alumina coating on titanium implant materials, a design which might be useful in hard tissue replacement. Alumina layers were formed by anodisation of aluminium, which had been deposited on titanium and titanium alloys by electron beam evaporation. READ MORE
