  2. 1. Epithelial signatures in respiratory disease

    Author : Elisabeth Ax; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway epithelium; inflammation; gene expression; extracellular vesicles; miRNA;

    Abstract : The epithelium of the human airways protects us against harm and helps maintain immune homeostasis. In respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD, the functions of the epithelium are altered and can cause or contribute to disease progression. READ MORE

  4. 2. Body posture and gravity as determinants of lung perfusion and ventilation

    Author : Malin Ax; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Normal lung gas exchange depends on an intimate match between regional ventilation and regional blood flow in the lungs. The beneficial effect of the prone posture in acute respiratory failure is well documented but the mechanisms involved are not completely understood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cyclic Sulfamide HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors : Design, Synthesis and Modelling

    Author : Anna Ax; Anders Karlén; Anders Hallberg; Tommy Liljefors; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical chemistry; AIDS; HIV; protease inhibitor; aspartic protease; molecular modelling; 3D-QSAR; CoMFA; Farmaceutisk kemi; Pharmaceutical chemistry; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : Ten years ago, the first protease inhibitor targeting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was approved for clinical use.

  6. 4. Dietary Patterns : Identification and Health Implications in the Swedish Population

    Author : Erika Ax; Per Sjögren; Agneta Andersson; Wulf Becker; Berit Lilienthal Heitmann; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : We eat foods not nutrients. What is more, we eat them in combinations. Consequently, capturing our complex food habits is likely an advantage in nutrition research. The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was therefore to investigate dietary patterns in the Swedish population –nutrient intakes, nutritional biomarkers and health aspects. READ MORE
