  2. 16. Hyperinflammation in critically ill

    Author : Tatiana von Bahr Greenwood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A wide spectrum of inflammatory responses, with overlapping characteristics, is encountered in critically ill patients in intensive care. At one extreme, critically ill patients may develop the potentially fatal condition secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), characterized by excessive inflammation (hyperinflammation), driven by a ‘cytokine storm’, and multiple organ failure.

  4. 17. Exploiting conjugacy in state-space models with sequential Monte Carlo

    Author : Anna Wigren; Fredrik Lindsten; Umberto Picchini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Electrical Engineering with specialization in Signal Processing; Elektroteknik med inriktning mot signalbehandling;

    Abstract : Many processes we encounter in our daily lives are dynamical systems that can be described mathematically using state-space models. Exact inference of both states and parameters in these models is, in general, intractable. READ MORE

  5. 18. Infectious diseases in returning Swedish travellers

    Author : Helena Hervius Askling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The number of travellers to “tropical” parts of the world has increased substantially during the past decades. Identifying risk groups and providing preventive measures is important both to reduce the number of travellers falling ill and to prevent introduction of diseases into new countries. READ MORE

  6. 19. Epidemiological aspects and microbiological characterization of fevers among residents of Mozambique and Swedish travellers returning from the tropics

    Author : Birgitta Lesko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The common theme and aim for this thesis was to explore the epidemiology and the diagnostic possibilities of patients with non-malarial febrile infections of tropical origin, with both the individual patient perspective and the more general public health aspects in focus. Analysis from two study areas, Sweden and Mozambique, are presented in the project. READ MORE

  7. 20. Chemosensation in Aedes aegypti: from molecular response profiles to host-seeking behaviour

    Author : Anaïs Tallon; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The female mosquito Aedes aegypti is the primary urban vector of various highly infectious neglected tropical diseases. Disease transmission relies heavily on odourmediated behaviours, including e.g., sugar- and host-seeking, which are crucial during the mosquito life cycle and has dire impacts on vectorial capacity.
