  2. 1. Clinical and pathophysiological aspects of sepsis

    Author : Anna Linnér; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Severe sepsis and septic shock represent challenging problems for the health care system. Despite adequate antibiotics and modern intensive care, severe sepsis is associated with a substantial mortality rate of around 30%, which rises even higher if exacerbated by septic shock, and the incidence continues to increase.

  4. 2. On the cytotoxic and proinflammatory properties of eosinophils

    Author : Terese Dajotoy; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; bacteriology; Microbiology; CXC chemokines; inflammation; eosinophils; cytotoxic mechanisms;

    Abstract : Eosinophils are multi-functional leukocytes involved in the pathophysiology of inflammatory diseases such as asthma and inflammatory bowel disease. Participation in some neoplastic diseases and in the host defense against helminths has also been postulated. They are considered both good and bad, protecting or harming the host. READ MORE

  5. 3. Identification and characterization of WASP and FKBP-like protein

    Author : Ing-Marie Viklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammation of the colon which together with the related Crohn s disease (CD) represent the major forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). IBD is believed to arise in a dysfunctional intestinal barrier which allows the normal gut flora to trigger an unwanted chronic immune response in genetically susceptible individuals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of barrier function in patients with ulcerative colitis and pouchitis

    Author : Mats Persborn; Johan Söderholm; Lars Börjesson; Maria Jenmalm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is largely unknown. However, there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility and altered intestinal barrier function has been implicated in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Tissue microbiology : an integrated approach for intravital studies of host-pathogen interactions

    Author : Ferdinand Xiankeng Choong; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A bacteria infection in the living host is the summation of a myriad of interactions. Reductionistic and sacrificial experiment models cannot replicate this complexity. The Tissue Microbiology approach overcomes this by allowing the live host and pathogen to control all facets of the infection model. READ MORE
