  2. 21. Spinal mobility, muscle strength and function in patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Different aspects on long term outcome

    Author : Karin Romberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; idiopathic scoliosis; long-term outcome; spinal mobility; trunk muscle endurance; back function; thoracic mobility; pulmonary function; validity;

    Abstract : Introduction: The long-term physical function outcome in patients treated for idiopathic scoliosis (IS) during childhood and adolescence has not been fully explored. In addition, there is a lack of studies where different methods to measure pulmonary function are validated in patients with early onset scoliosis. READ MORE

  4. 22. Chemical basis of ABO subgroups

    Author : Lola Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ABO; subgroups; glycolipid; para-Forssman; Forssman; Forssman synthetase;

    Abstract : Despite the ABO histo-blood group system being the most biologically significant in humans the chemical structures that define its various phenotypes still remain largely unresolved. Like all blood group systems there is a significant range in the amount of antigen present on the red cells of an individual and there exists a range of so-called “weak” phenotypes represented by decreasing expression of A or B antigens.

  5. 23. Cardiac and pulmonary side-effects of radiotherapy in early breast cancer

    Author : Ulla Blom Goldman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : breast cancer;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to study early and late side-effects to lung and heart in adjuvant locoregionalradiation therapy (LRRT) of early breast cancer (BC). Papers I-III were intervention studies aiming to reduce symptomatic/ radiological pneumonitis and functional changes after LRRT by applyingthe ipsilateral lung dose volume constraint V20 ≤ 30 %.

  6. 24. Influence of waxes on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture performance

    Author : Ylva Edwards; Ulf Isacsson; Klaus-Werner Damm; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bitumen; asphalt; additives; wax in bitumen; polyphosphoric acid in bitumen; rheology; IR-spectroscopy; dynamic mechanic analysis DMA ; bending beam rheometer BBR ; literature study; low temperature physical hardening; highway materials; morphology; modified bitumens; temperature susceptibility; low temperature performance; ageing; microscopy; chromatography; Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; force ductility; conventional binder tests; asphalt performance; tensile strain restrained specimen test TSRST ; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

    Abstract : This doctoral thesis consists of a literature review, presented in two papers, and another six papers describing experimental studies of the influence of different kinds of wax and polyphosporic acid on bitumen and asphalt concrete mixture properties. The literature review should give an extensive description of the field of knowledge concerning wax in bitumen. READ MORE

  7. 25. The skin barrier : structure and physical function

    Author : Lars Petter Oskar Norlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The objective of the project "The skin barrier - structure and physical function" was to characterise in detail the human skin barrier structurally and functionally. The thesis work includes in-vivo studies, in-vitro studies and studies on pure model systems. READ MORE
