  2. 1. The Problem of Objects in Design of Health Care Information Systems

    Author : Hans Kyhlbäck; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; object; object-orientation; wound care; digital photos; activity theory; computer science; information system;

    Abstract : This thesis is about two different theoretical interpretations of objects and object-orientation in design of health care information systems – the interpretations of Activity Theory/Developmental Work Research and Computer Science respectively. One motive to my interest in objects of work and software, is to better understand the problems and possibilities in an inter¬dis¬ciplinary research project. READ MORE

  4. 2. Laminins and alpha11 integrin in the human eye : importance in development and disease

    Author : Berit Byström; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Ulf Stenevi; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; basement membranes; extracellular matrix; laminin; integrin; cornea; development; keratoconus; wound healing; remodeling; immunohistochemistry; Ophtalmiatrics; Oftalmiatrik;

    Abstract : The extracellular matrix (ECM) offers a protective shelter for cells and provides signaling paths important for cell to cell communication. ECM consists of basement membranes (BM) and interstitial matrix. BMs provide mechanical support for parenchymal cells, influence cell proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation.

  5. 3. Amphiphilic hydrogels functionalized with antimicrobial peptides for wound care

    Author : Edvin Blomstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; infections; Antimicrobial peptides; hydrogels; wound care; lyotropic liquid crystals; antibacterial surfaces; amphiphilic polymers; surface functionalization;

    Abstract : Bacteria have the potential to cause significant harm to us when found in places where we do not want them, such as in wounds. Through the last century, the gold standard of eradicating bacteria in these cases has been with antibiotics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hyaluronan and the receptor CD 44 in the heart and vessels : a study in normal and pathological conditions

    Author : Martin Hellström; Anna Engström-Laurent; Bengt Johansson; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : hyaluronan; CD44; heart; Rat; cardiac hypertrophy; artery; vein; human; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Tissues are not solely composed of cells. The extracellular matrix is important for the cell well-being and cell-cell communication. The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HYA) is a widely distributed extracellular matrix (ECM) component. READ MORE

  7. 5. In vitro wound healing characteristics of amelogenins

    Author : Sofia Almqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amelogenins; extracellular matrix; cell culture; macrophage; fibroblast; endothelial cell; integrin; cytokine; inflammation; wound healing tissue repair;

    Abstract : Wound healing involves the co-ordinated actions of several cell types, soluble cell mediators and extracellular matrix (ECM). This research project intended to investigate the role of certain ECM proteins in different processes during tissue repair by studying the interaction between dermal cells and ECM. READ MORE
