  2. 6. The development of psychiatric disorders and adverse behaviors : from context to prediction

    Author : Ashley Tate; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Psychiatric disorders by definition cause significant impairment in an individual’s daily functioning. Certain disorders, such as borderline personality disorder (BPD) and eating disorders, have worse prognosis and high mortality rates compared to other psychiatric disorders. READ MORE

  4. 7. Causes and mechanisms of an adverse outcome in patients with glucose abnormalities and cardiovascular disease : epidemiological and biochemical analyses

    Author : Viveca Ritsinger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Diabetes and previously undetected glucose abnormalities are common in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). It is well established that patients with diabetes have a higher mortality rate after coronary events than patients without diabetes but the complication pattern in a contemporary perspective, the impact of glucose control and whether unknown glucose abnormalities affect the longterm prognosis is less well studied.

  5. 8. Acute lung injury : incidence and predictors of outcome with special reference to inhaled nitric oxide

    Author : Owe Luhr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Respiratory distress syndrome; Adult; -drug-therapy; -mortality; Treatment; -outcome; Nitric oxide; therapeutic-use; administration-and-dosage; -adverse effects; Mutagenicity; tests; Chromosome aberrations; Risk factors; Logistic models; Prospective studies.;

    Abstract : This work started out as a critical examination of the initial clinical experiences with inhalation of nitric oxide (INO) to patients with acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in Scandinavia 1991-1994. During this examination, we found that epidemiological data and prognostic factors were lacking in Scandinavia for these patient groups, making it difficult to evaluate new therapies. READ MORE

  6. 9. On Turbulence Modelling for Bilge Vortices: A Test of Eight Models for Three Cases

    Author : Urban Svennberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wake; turbulence modelling; nonlinear eddy-viscosity model; bilge vortices; ship flow; jet; Navier-Stokes equation; two-equation model; Reynolds stress model; vortex;

    Abstract : This work is a test, in three steps, of turbulence models for the calculation of the flow field around ships. Eight models ranging from k-e and k-w models to a Reynolds-stress model (RSM) are tested. READ MORE

  7. 10. Hypoxic gene regulation and oncogenic pathways in neuroblastoma

    Author : Erik Fredlund; Institutionen för translationell medicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microarray; hypoxia; MYCN; gene expression analysis; Neuroblastoma; Myc; pathway analysis; differentiation;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma patients show remarkable clinical heterogeneity, with courses ranging from spontaneous regression to fatal tumor progression despite intense multi-modal treatment. Previous studies have shown that hypoxia pushes neuroblastoma cells towards a more immature phenotype, which correlates to aggressive disease. READ MORE
