2. 1. Synthesis of Structures Related to the Capsular Polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis Serogroup A and to Mycothiol

   Author : Rikard Slättegård; Stefan Oscarson; Andrei Nikolaev; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neisseria meningitidis; Capsular polysaccharide; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; Mycothiol; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; organisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis of structures related to the capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A and the synthesis of analogues of mycothiol, a compound produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The first part of the thesis describes the synthesis of structural elements present in the native capsular polysaccharide of Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A. READ MORE

4. 2. Development of strategies for construction of thioglycoside building blocks corresponding to repeating triads of Cryptococcus neoformans GXM capsular polysaccharide

   Author : Lina Rydner; Stefan Oscarson; Olof Ramström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Crytococcus neoformans; Capsular polysaccharide; Thioglycosides; Convergent synthesis; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development of methods for synthesis of thioglycoside building blocks corresponding to the repeating units of the capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of Cryptococcus neoformans, an opportunistic fungal pathogen. The building blocks are suitable for construction of large synthetic oligosaccharides related to the native CPS-structures which are to be used in biological studies in order to identify protective epitopes with the aim to develop a glycoconjugate vaccine against C.

6. 4. Structural and biophysical studies of pneumococcal capsular surface proteins

   Author : Cecilia Mikaelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) is a major human pathogen and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in children and the elderly. The casualties due to respiratory infections are estimated to be over 4 million per year, where pneumococcus is the predominant species. READ MORE

7. 5. Studies on the Epidemiology of Open-angle Glaucoma

   Author : Curt Ekström; Albert Alm; Bertil Lindblom; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Ophtalmology; Open-angle glaucoma; Epidemiology; Capsular glaucoma; Chronic simple glaucoma; Normal tension glaucoma; Pseudoexfoliation; Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma; Prevalence; Incidence; Intraocular pressure; Oftalmiatrik;

   Abstract : Glaucoma is a common disease in the elderly population. Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is the predominant form of glaucoma. Chronic simple glaucoma and capsular glaucoma, characterized by the occurrence of pseudoexfoliation in the anterior eye segment, are the most frequent types of OAG. READ MORE
