  2. 1. Submicrometre aerosol emissions from sea spray and road traffic

    Author : Monica Mårtensson; Douglas Nilsson; Christer Johansson; Michael Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Eddy covariance method; aerosol emissions; submicrometre sea salt parameterisation; primary marine organic aerosols; sea spray; road traffic emission factors; air-sea exchange; aerosol dynamics model; internal aerosol mixing; combustion aerosols; Atmosphere and hydrosphere sciences; Atmosfärs- och hydrosfärsvetenskap; atmosfärvetenskap; Atmospheric Sciences;

    Abstract : The uncertainty of the climate and health effects of aerosols is still large, one important reason being lack of knowledge of the primary emissions. This thesis combines laboratory and field experiments, and process modelling in an effort to better quantify the submicrometre aerosol emissions and to understand some of the processes in the atmosphere.

  4. 2. Drug treatment in children with focus on off-label drug use

    Author : Elin Kimland; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Child; drug treatment; off-label; drug related problems; adverse drug reactions; drug labelling;

    Abstract : There is a lack of paediatric documentation concerning efficacy and safety of many drugs, which contribute to drug use outside the terms of the product license (off-label). In the present thesis, four studies (I-IV), using different settings and design to evaluate pharmacological treatment in children, with focus on off-label drug use, is presented. READ MORE

  5. 3. Off-label drug treatment and related problems in children : a register-based investigation

    Author : Elin Kimland; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Child; drug therapy; drug labelling; off-label; drug information services; adverse drug reactions; prescription drugs; drug related problems;

    Abstract : Introduction: There is a lack of pediatric documentation concerning efficacy and safety of many drugs, which may contribute to off-label drug treatment and increase the risk for adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Aims: To; (I) analyse the frequency and characteristics of pediatric off-label prescribing; (II) investigate frequency of off-label drug prescribing in pediatric ADR reports; (III) analyse drug related problems, the extent of off-label drug treatment in pediatric questions to a Drug Information Centre (DIC) and pediatric literature information adding to the labelling of the drug in DIC answers.

  6. 4. Naturally acquired immunity to plasmodium falciparum malaria : antibody responses and immunological memory

    Author : Josea Rono; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Plasmodium falciparum malaria is a significant public health concern particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Effective malaria vaccines will contribute significantly towards controlling the disease but their development is hampered by the incomplete understanding of immunity to malaria. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular epidemiology of complex heritable disease : applications in genomics and metabolomics

    Author : Robert Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Modern high-throughput molecular technologies (collectively referred to as “omic” platforms) are generating unprecedented amounts of data on human variation. The four papers in this thesis each investigate and characterize associations between common, complex, heritable disease, and genetic or metabolomic markers from omic platforms. READ MORE
