  2. 1. Optics for Low Vision Enabling

    Author : Jörgen Gustafsson; Certec - Rehabiliteringsteknik och Design; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eccentric viewing; Low vision optics; Low vision rehabilitation; People with low vision; Preferred retinal; locus PRL ; Resolution; Visual acuity; Ophtalmology; Medicinsk teknik; Medical technology; Rehabilitering medicinsk och social ; rehabilitation; revalidation; kinesitherapy; Oftalmologi; Physical medicine; Contrast sensitivity; Detection; Eccentric correction; CFL ; Central visual field loss; Central scotoma; Aberrations; Astigmatism;

    Abstract : For people with central visual field loss, eccentric vision is all that they have to rely on. Even for those who learn how to correctly utilize their eccentric vision, it will never be as good as the central for two entirely different reasons: the off-axis optics of the eye can result in large refractive errors, and the low function of the peripheral retina.

  4. 2. Exploitation of interactions with the neonatal Fc receptor to manipulate biological half-lives for therapeutic applications

    Author : Shengze Yu; Torbjörn Gräslund; Mats Ohlin; KTH; []
    Keywords : Glioblastoma Multiforme GBM ; Prolacin Prl ; Prolacin receptor PrlR ; Prolactin antagonist PrlRA ; Albumin binding domain ABD ; serum albumin SA ; half-life extension; FcRn; Affibody; human growth hormone hGH ; immunoglobulin G IgG ; blocking; autoimmune disease; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Protein engineering provides powerful tools to create useful proteins with desired properties. In this thesis, rational design principles have been used for development of fusion proteins that can interact with the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) for potential medical applications. FcRn is widely expressed in the human body.

  5. 3. Long-term results of phakic refractive lenses (PRL) for correction of myopia and hyperopia

    Author : Annemari Koivula; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The phakic refractive lens (PRL) is a silicone lens implanted into the posterior chamber to correct myopia and hyperopia. At the beginning of 2002, when the PRL was introduced at St. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of mifepristone on the human endometrium and the fallopian tube during the luteal phase

    Author : Xiaoxi Sun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Mifepristone; endometrial receptivity; emergency contraception; PR-B; eNOS; IGFBP-1; PRL; HB-EGF; HB-EGF receptors HER1 and HER4;

    Abstract : Mifepristone given postovulatory has been shown effective for contraception, but the precise mechanism of action is still poorly understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms of action of mifepristone, when used for contraception, is important for further development and optimizing the regimen of use. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular characterization of prostate hyperplasia in prolactin transgenic mice

    Author : Karin Dillner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Prolactin-transgenic; mouse; prolactin; prostate hyperplasia; gene expression analysis;

    Abstract : Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer are age-related diseases, affecting a majority of elderly men in the western world, and are known to be influenced by several different hormones, including sex hormones. Although the hormone prolactin (PRL) is well known to exert trophic effects on prostate cells, its involvement in the pathophysiology is still poorly characterized. READ MORE
