2. 1. Blood and Bone - Epidemiological studies on the association between blood and bone

   Author : Hallgerdur Lind Kristjansdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood; Bone; Fractures; Osteoporosis;

   Abstract : Introduction: Preclinical and clinical studies have suggested that blood- and bone cells are interconnected. Aims: To study the association between hematological variables, specifically serotonin, erythropoietin (EPO), hemoglobin (Hb), neutrophil-, lymphocyte-, and platelet count, and bone mineral density (BMD), and/or risk for fractures (paper I-III).

4. 2. Effects of Ischaemia on the Neuroretina and Retinal Blood Vessels

   Author : Bodil Gesslein; Lund Oftalmologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; protein kinase C; tumor necrosis factor; mitogen-activated protein kinases; pig; blood vessels; mfERG; Retinal ischaemia; vascular endothelial growth factor; hypoxia-inducible factor;

   Abstract : Identification of the intracellular signal transduction pathways activated in retinal ischaemia may be important in revealing novel pharmacological targets. The retinal blood vessels are key organs in circulatory failure, and in this work the retinal vasculature was therefore examined separately from the neuroretina. READ MORE

5. 3. Clinical Studies on Dark Adaptation: with Particular Reference to Carotid Artery Disease

   Author : Ulf Havelius; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; polycythemia; photoreceptors; phlebotomy; ocular blood flow; headache; dilation lag; dark adaptometry; dark adaptation; color Doppler imaging; carotid artery stenosis; carotid artery disease; carotid endarterectomy; pupil; pupillometry; retinal blood flow; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

   Abstract : Purpose: To study dark adaptation in patients with symptomatic carotid artery disease or polycythemia before and after treatment. This necessitated determinations of pupillary changes as such may influence the findings. To determine whether changes in the retinal blood flow in light and darkness occur in healthy humans.

6. 4. IgE sensitization against food allergens : Natural history, relation to airway inflammation and asthma

   Author : Antonios Patelis; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Rönmark; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergen components; extract-based; exhaled NO; airway hyperresponsiveness; blood eosinophil count; IgE sensitization; food hypersensitivity; food allergens; perennial allergens; natural history; markers of systemic inflammation; markers of local inflammation; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Fysiologi; Physiology; Immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : Background: According to recent studies in children, IgE sensitization not only against perennial allergens, but also against food allergens, is related to asthma risk and increased airway inflammation. During the last decade, a new technique for IgE determination based on allergen components has become available, but its use in epidemiological studies has been limited. READ MORE

7. 5. Activation of the Cellular Immune Response in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae

   Author : Ines Anderl; Dan Hultmark; Paul Badenhorst; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Drosophila melanogaster; immunity; blood cells; hematopoiesis; flow cytometry; in vivo imaging; genetic screens; Tl10b; fat body; Toll signaling; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

   Abstract : During the last 40 years, Drosophila melanogaster has become an invaluable tool in understanding innate immunity. The innate immune system of Drosophila consists of a humoral and a cellular component. While many details are known about the humoral immune system, our knowledge about the cellular immune system is comparatively small. READ MORE
