  4. 2. Simulation supported training in oral radiology : methods and impact on interpretative skill

    Author : Tore Nilsson; Jan Ahlqvist; Martin Rydmark; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virtual reality; simulation; simulator; radiology; radiography; learning; skill acquisition; visual-spatial ability; parallax; Radiology; Radiologi; odontologi; Odontology;

    Abstract : Simulation is an important tool when training is hazardous, time consuming, or expensive. Simulation can also be used to enhance reality by adding features normally not available in the real world. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adhesion-related interactions of Actinomyces and Streptococcus biofilm bacteria

    Author : Mirva Drobni; Nicklas Strömberg; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; biofilm; Actinomyces; Streptococcus; adhesion; Cariology; Cariologi;

    Abstract : Adhesion of bacteria is a key event in biofilm formation and is mediated by bacterial adhesins recognising host or bacterial partner receptors. In oral biofilm formation, primary Actinomyces and Streptococcus colonizers adhere to salivary pellicle proteins such as proline-rich proteins (PRPs) as well as to mucosal surfaces. READ MORE

  6. 4. Tobacco smoking and vertical periodontal bone loss

    Author : Mostafa Baljoon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cigarette smoking is associated with increased prevalence and severity of destructive periodontal disease in terms of periodontal pocketing, periodontal bone loss, and tooth loss. The smoking destructive effect on periodontal bone may be of even "horizontal" or vertical "angular" pattern. READ MORE

  7. 5. Systems biology approaches to investigate mechanisms of obstructive lung diseases

    Author : Marika Ström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are obstructive lung diseases with a large impact on global health, causing 400 000 and 3 million deaths respectively each year. The numbers may be underestimated, since COPD often contributes to death without being registered as the cause of death. READ MORE
