  2. 21. Glycerol kinase deficiency. Clinical, biochemical, and genetic aspects

    Author : Christina Hellerud; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : contiguous gene syndrome; diagnose; exercise; fasting; glucose deficit; glycerol; glycerol kinase deficiency; metabolism; molecular modelling; mRNA analysis; mutation; natural history; prognosis; splice-junction analysis; treatment; triglycerides;

    Abstract : Glycerol kinase deficiency (GKD, MIM 307030) is an X-linked recessive inborn error of metabolism occurring isolated or in an Xp contiguous gene syndrome with adrenal hypoplasia and/or Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The gene syndrome is due to deletions in the p21 region on the X chromosome. READ MORE

  4. 22. Avian malaria, life-history trade-offs and interspecific competition in Ficedula flycatchers

    Author : Katarzyna Kulma; Anna Qvarnström; Marlene Zuk; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Blood parasites; competitive asymmetry; immunocompetence; interspecific competition; life-history trade-offs; MHC; parasite-driven selection;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the impact of avian malaria (Haemosporidia) parasites on the outcome of interspecific competition between two closely related bird species, pied (Ficedula hypoleuca) and collared (F. albicollis) flycatchers. READ MORE

  5. 23. Human salmonellosis : impact of travel and trade from a Swedish perspective

    Author : Birgitta De Jong Skierus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Salmonella; salmonellosis; reptile-associated salmonellosis; travel-associated salmonellosis; S. Enteritidis; European salmonella incidence; serotype; serovar; sewage treatment plants; antibiotic resistant; pre-travel advice.;

    Abstract : Background: Salmonellosis is one of the most important gastrointestinal infections in humans. The vast majority of Swedish Salmonella cases have acquired the disease abroad, reflecting both a large number of Swedish travellers and a very favourable domestic Salmonella situation compared to other countries, mainly due to various control programs implemented in the animal food production and import regulations (e.

  6. 24. Lactobacillus mediated targeting of gastrointestinal pathogens

    Author : Kasper Krogh Andersen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mucosal membranes of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary and respiratory tract are the main targets for infection in the human body and are repeatedly challenged by pathogens. Passive immunization using delivery of antibodies at the mucosal membrane may thus provide a new first line of defense against these pathogens. READ MORE

  7. 25. KNOW YOUR ENEMY : Characterizing Pathogenic Biomaterials Using Laser Tweezers

    Author : Tobias Dahlberg; Magnus Andersson; Krister Wiklund; Mikael Sjödahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optical Tweezers; Laser Tweezers; Raman Spectroscopy; Bacterial Adhesion; Biophysics; Pili; Bacterial Spores; Endospores; Oocysts; Cryptosporidium; Optics; biology; biologi; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : Diseases caused by pathogenic agents such as bacteria and viruses result in devastating costs on personal and societal levels. However, it is not just the emergence of new diseases that is problematic. Antibiotic resistance among bacteria makes uncomplicated infections difficult and lethal. READ MORE
