  2. 6. Infants with urinary tract infection - renal damage and risk factors

    Author : Iulian Preda; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : infants; renal damage; urinary tract infection; imaging;

    Abstract : Background Identification of infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) who are at risk of renal scarring is an important clinical challenge with considerable economic consequences. Few issues in pediatric practice today have been so debated as the appropriate investigation of an infant with UTI. READ MORE

  4. 7. Urinary Clara cell protein and alpha 1-microglobulin – biomarkers of changes in kidney and airway function

    Author : Lena Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : biomarker; Clara cell 16 kDa protein CC16 ; alpha 1-microglobulin A1M ; ambient air pollution; renal function; pyelonephritis; children;

    Abstract : Validated biomarkers are useful tools for screening large populations. The benefit of screening may be improved risk assessment or early indications of adverse effects before detection or onset of symptoms. READ MORE

  5. 8. Preparation and properties of dried nanfibrillated cellulose and its nanocomposites

    Author : Christian Eyholzer; Mirja Illikainen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Trä och bionanokompositer; Wood and Bionanocomposites;

    Abstract : The production of fully degradable nanocomposites with biopolymers as matrix and cellulose nanofibrils with high aspect ratios as reinforcement is still a challenging task. Also, due to the large amount of hydroxyl groups on the surface of these nanofibrils, they tend to irreversibly agglomerate during drying. READ MORE

  6. 9. Studies on the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin on vitamin A homeostasis

    Author : Charlotte Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : TCDD; dioxin; vitamin A; retinoic acid; lecithin:retinol acyltransferase; retinyl ester hydrolysis; retinol-binding protein; kidney; lymph; stellate cell; kinetics; model-based compartmental analysis;

    Abstract : Vitamin A (retinoids) is needed for normal vision, growth, reproduction, cell differentiation, embryonic development, and immune function. Retinoids exert their functions in the same way as classical hormones, as transcription factors acting via nuclear receptors. READ MORE

  7. 10. The Rarebit fovea test : a new measure of visual function

    Author : Maria Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Rarebit Fovea Test; Rarebit Perimetry; foveal function; fixation; diabetes; cataract; binocular summation;

    Abstract : Visual acuity (VA) measurement by the use of letter charts is the most frequently used method for testing foveal function. However, since a decimal visual acuity of 1. READ MORE
