  2. 16. Clinical studies in aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with special reference to elderly patients

    Author : Eva Ösby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Aggressive; non-Hodgkin s lymphoma; elderly; CHOP; mitoxantrone; etoposide; G-CSF; response evaluation; longevity;

    Abstract : The age-adjusted incidence rate of non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma (NHL), in particular diffuse large B cell lymphoma, has increased continuously during several decades. Patients with aggressive NHL are potentially curable but the 5-year overall survival (OS) is still less than 50% in the whole group. READ MORE

  4. 17. On failures and complications of tooth-supported fixed prostheses

    Author : Mohammed Hawthan; Christel Larsson; Bruno Ramos Chrcanovic; Ulf Örtengren; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Loss of tooth structure or loss of the tooth may affect masticatory function, phonetics, a person´s appearance, and might ultimately impair quality of life. Fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in the form of either fixed dental prosthesis (FDP)or single crown (SC) is a reliable treatment alternative to restore lost functions. READ MORE

  5. 18. Breeding for robust sows : association between leg conformation, fertility and sow stayability

    Author : Thu Le Hong; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the possibility to breed for robust sows by improving the leg quality and conformation traits. The specific goals were to estimate the genetic correlations between leg conformation, reproduction and longevity in Swedish and Danish sows; and to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) as well as possible causal genes underlying leg conformation traits in pigs.

    Abstract : 1. Introduction This dissertation consists of six chapters that span a very diverse set of topics. Yet, it has two unifying themes, economics and biology, that tie it together. READ MORE

  7. 20. Functional analysis of the proteasome in eukaryotic organisms

    Author : Marianthi Sakellari; Efstathios S. Gonos; Allan Sirsjö; Richard G. A. Faragher; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteasome; Proteasome activation; Protein synthesis inhibition; Hsp70; Hsp90; Proteostasis; Aging; Alzheimer’s disease; Caenorhabditis elegans; Lifespan extension; SKN-1;

    Abstract : Proteasome degradation machinery is responsible for the turnover of a huge variety of normal and abnormal proteins, thus regulating a plethora of cellular processes. Aging is an inevitable biological process that is characterized by reduced proteasome function that leads to proteotoxic stress. READ MORE
