1. On the antiporter-like subunits of respiratory chain Complex I - implications for the evolution and coupling mechanism of the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase enzyme complex
Abstract : Complex I or NADH:quinone oxidoreductase is the largest enzyme complex, but the least understood energy coupling site in the respiratory chain of mitochondria and bacteria. No high-resolution structural information exists for this enzyme and the molecular mechanism that couples electron transfer and proton pumping is not understood. READ MORE

2. Late complications after total hip arthroplasty
Abstract : The present study concerns late complications after total hip arthroplasty in relation to implant material, design, and mode of implant fixation. Frictional characteristics in retrieved and new acetabular sockets was studied under dry and lubricated conditions comparing conventional polyethylene sockets with polyacetal sockets from the Christiansen prosthesis.

3. Delayed Cell Death after Traumatic Brain Injury : Role of Reactive Oxygen Species
Abstract : Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability TBI survivors often suffer from severe disturbances of cognition, memory and emotions. Improving the treatment is of great importance, but as of yet no specific neuroprotective treatment has been found. READ MORE

4. The Neurological Wake-up Test in Neurocritical Care
Abstract : The neurological wake-up test, NWT, is a clinical monitoring tool that can be used to evaluate the level of consciousness in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) during neurocritical care (NCC). Since patients with severe TBI or SAH are often treated with mechanical ventilation and sedation, the NWT requires that the continuous sedation is interrupted. READ MORE

5. Narrowing the gap between network models and real complex systems
Abstract : Simple network models that focus only on graph topology or, at best, basic interactions are often insufficient to capture all the aspects of a dynamic complex system. In this thesis, I explore those limitations, and some concrete methods of resolving them. READ MORE
