  2. 1. Liquid chromatography : mass spectrometry study of two biochemical alcohol markers

    Author : Niclas Nikolai Stephanson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The interest in biochemical alcohol markers for detecting acute and chronic alcohol consumption has expanded greatly during recent years. The development and application of laboratory tests identifying early problematic drinking and monitoring abstinence have the potential of reducing the healthcare costs and suffering associated with alcohol misuse.

  4. 2. Image-based dynamic liver testing : studies of segmental hepatic parenchymal function and biliary flow using dynamic 99Tcm-HIDA SPECT

    Author : Eduard Jonas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Dynamic SPECT; Segmental liver function test; Primary sclerosing cholangitis; Bile flow; Bile scintigraphy;

    Abstract : The aim of the study was to create a dynamic liver function test using a tomographic imaging procedure as sampling method. The liver has multiple and complex functions. It is obvious that no single test can give a comprehensive measurement of total liver function. READ MORE

  5. 3. Evaluation of process parameters and treatments of different raw materials for biogas production

    Author : Malik Badshah; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Anaerobic digestion; biogas; lignocellulosics; inoculum to substrate ratio; feed composition; toxicity; furaldehydes; paper and pulp sludges.;

    Abstract : The anaerobic digestion process results in the production of biogas from a large diversity of organic residues, which can be used as an alternate source of energy generation and for waste management. However, the biogas production technology is not exploited efficiently due to the characteristics of raw materials, poor methane yields, process instability, limited raw materials and lack of knowledge about the process.

  6. 4. PET and MR imaging in prostate cancer

    Author : Kristina Sandgren; Tufve Nyholm; Joakim Jonsson; Camilla Thellenberg-Karlsson; Lennart Blomqvist; Heidi Lyng; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PET; PSMA; MRI; PET MRI; imaging; prostate cancer; intraprostatic tumour detection; radiofysik; radiation physics;

    Abstract : The current risk assessment of prostate cancer (PC) relies on histopathological samples from biopsies and clinical variables such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA). However, this comes with uncertainties and in some cases it can be challenging to separate patients who would benefit from radical treatment and those who would not. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of metazoan proteasome function and regulation

    Author : Josefin Lundgren; Patrick Young; Michael Glickman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; proteasome ubiquitin RNAi microarray; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Biological processes depend upon the structural and functional quality of the molecules that comprise living organisms. The integrity of molecules such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids is crucial and the precise three-dimensional shape and the detailed chemistry of these molecules orchestrate the biochemical processes vital for life.
