  2. 11. The Monoamine Oxidase A Gene and Antisocial Outcomes : An Examination of Genetic, Epigenetic, and Environmental Factors

    Author : David Checknita; Kent W. Nilsson; Lars Westberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Epigenetics; Antisocial; Genotype; Maltreatment;

    Abstract : Background. Antisocial behaviour involves violation of the basic rights of others or social norms or rules. Such behaviours are indexed in diagnoses such as conduct disorder (CD) in adolescence and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) in adulthood, which are typified by comorbidity with mood, anxiety, and substance misuse disorders.

  4. 12. Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Tractography of the Visual Pathways

    Author : Ylva Lilja; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diffusion tensor imaging; Visual pathways; Tractography; Temporal lobe resection; Pituitary adenomas;

    Abstract : The visual pathways are essential for human vision, stretching from the retinas of the eyes, via the anterior visual pathways and the optic radiations, to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Injury to these structures will lead to visual impairment – from small deficits to blindness. READ MORE

  5. 13. Automated analysis of fetal cardiac function : a new approach based on tissue Doppler imaging

    Author : Lotta Herling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The heart is a central organ in fetal adaptation to various hemodynamic insults and it is possible that subtle changes caused by complications such as hypoxia and anemia could manifest themselves early as altered fetal cardiac function. Color tissue Doppler imaging (cTDI) is an ultrasound technique that evaluates myocardial motion by assessing myocardial velocities. READ MORE

  6. 14. Contrast-enhanced MRI of human knee cartilage Clinical applications of the novel dGEMRIC technique to study glycosaminoglycan content in articular cartilage

    Author : Carl Johan Tiderius; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; exercise; osteoarthritis; anterior cruciate ligament; glycosaminoglycan; MRI; cartilage; dGEMRIC; knee;

    Abstract : Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a new technique to study cartilage glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content. The negatively charged contrast agent Gd-DTPA2-, injected intravenously, distributes in the cartilage inversely to the likewise negatively charged GAG. READ MORE

  7. 15. Virulence of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and innate antibacterial host responses

    Author : Eva Bjur; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Salmonella; LPS; macrophages; NOS; SPI-2; thioredoxin; TrxA; TRAPC;

    Abstract : The bacterial species Salmonella enterica consists of a collection of closely related enteric bacteria giving rise to diverse diseases in a wide range of hosts. In the murine infection model Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) causes an invasive disease which in many aspects resembles human typhoid fever. READ MORE
