  2. 1. The Genetics of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus : The Specificity of IRF5 to SLE

    Author : MV Prasad Linga Reddy; Marta Alarcön Riquelme; Dan Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecular genetics; Systemic lupus erythematosus; Interferon regulatory factor 5; Transmission-Disequilibrium Test; Family-based association test; Linkage Disequilibrium; Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium; Genetik;

    Abstract : The breakdown of self-tolerance is the main driving force behind susceptibility to SLE. When this occurs, T and B cells are activated in an uncontrolled manner and produce autoantibodies against self fragmented DNA, RNA and sometimes other parts of the cell such as cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine, etc. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biological effects of high energy radiation and ultra high dose rates

    Author : Björn Zackrisson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiobiology; 50 MV x-rays; 50 MeV electrons; in vitro; in vivo; RBE; OER; ultra high dose-rate; radiobiological models; model selection; models of stochastic processes;

    Abstract : Recently a powerful electron accelerator, 50 MeV race-track microtron, has been taken into clinical use. This gives the opportunity to treat patients with higher x-ray and electron energies than before. Furthermore, treatments can be performed were the entire fractional dose can be delivered in parts of a second. READ MORE

  5. 3. Systemic effects after ionizing radiation exposure: Genome-wide transcriptional analysis of mouse normal tissues exposed to (211)At, (131)I, or 4 MV photon beam

    Author : Britta Langen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microarray; radiogenomics; systemic effects; biomarker; radionuclide therapy; radionuclide therapy;

    Abstract : The radionuclides 131I and 211At are used or proposed for a variety of cancer treatments. Both radiohalogens exhibit considerable uptake in the thyroid gland and–to a lower degree–in various other tissues if they are unbound or released from a cancer-targeting agent. READ MORE

  7. 5. Experimental study of an intermittent ventilation system in high occupancy spaces

    Author : Alan Kabanshi; Patrik Sörqvist; Hans Wigö; Robert Ljung; Hazim Awbi; Högskolan i Gävle; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intermittent airflow; Indoor air quality; Perceived air quality; Thermal sensation; thermal comfort; Air movement acceptability; Convective cooling; Cooling effect.; Intermittent luftflöde; Luftstrålar; Upplevd luftkvalitet; Termisk komfort; Acceptans av luftrörelser; Konvektiv kylning; Kyleffekt.; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

    Abstract : Spaces with high occupancy density like classrooms are challenging to ventilate and use a lot of energy to maintain comfort. Usually, a compromise is made between low energy use and good Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), of which poor IEQ has consequences for occupants’ health, productivity and comfort. READ MORE
