  2. 16. Screening Family Burden in Clinical Practice : The development of a new instrument and investigation of its correlates to psychotic disorders

    Author : Fredrik Hjärthag; Torsten Norlander; Lars Helldin; Leif Lindström; Adrian Parker; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Family burden; Psychotic disorder; Schizophrenia; Psychometrics; Assessment; BIRP; Function; Cross-Sectional Remission; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychiatry; Psykiatri; Psykologi; Psychology;

    Abstract : The primary purpose of this thesis is to develop a short and user-friendly instrument for the assessment of family burden caused by psychotic disorders. A secondary purpose is to further investigate variables that might be linked to an increased burden. Of these variables, patients’ reduced functioning will be addressed in more detail. READ MORE

  4. 17. Clinical and genetical aspects of Celiac Disease

    Author : Audur Gudjonsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; celiac disease; sib-pair; screening; genome-wide scan; linkage analysis; heritability; genotypes; DQ2-negative; phenotypes; autoimmune disease;

    Abstract : Celiac disease (CD), or gluten-sensitive enteropathy, is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood but is diagnosed in all ages. CD is a genetically driven immunological intolerance to dietary gluten. Th e treatment is a gluten-free diet. READ MORE

  5. 18. Circumventing drug resistance : Studies exploring the expediency of a total cell kill chemoresistance assay

    Author : Bertil Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; drug resistance; drug resistance assay; clinical correlations; cancer; human; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; klinisk farmakologi; Clinical Pharmacology;

    Abstract : Cellular resistance to anti-cancer drugs is considered to be the major cause of treatment failure in clinical practice. The present studies have therefore focused on ways to circumvent resistance as evaluated by an in vitro chemoresistance assay. READ MORE

  6. 19. Weighted Analysis of Microarray Experiments

    Author : Anders Sjögren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; DNA microarray; differential expression; gene expression; quality control QC ; quality assurance QA ; quality assessment; generalised linear model; empirical Bayes; weighted moderated statistic; invalid p-value; heteroscedasticity; WAME; heteroscedasticity;

    Abstract : DNA microarrays are strikingly efficient tools for analysing gene expression for large sets of genes simultaneously. The aim is often to identify genes which are differentially expressed between some studied conditions, thereby gaining insight into which cellular mechanisms are differently active between the conditions.

  7. 20. On the role of bile acids in chronic diarrhoea

    Author : Kjell-Arne Ung; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diarrhoea; bile acid malabsorption; steatorrhoea; collagenous colitis; lymphocytic colitis; cholestyramine; long-term; histopathology; symptoms; ileal resection;

    Abstract : Bile acids which promote lipid absorption are actively reabsorbed in the distal ileum. Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) and microscopic colitis (lymphocytic and collagenous) are both associated with chronic watery diarrhoea. READ MORE
