    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergen; laboratory animal allergy; rat urinary protein; Rat n 1.02; a2u-globulin; purification; chemiluminescence; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Rats are among the most frequently used laboratory animals and allergy to them constitutes a common occupational problem. Approximately 20-30% of the persons engaged in work with laboratory animals acquire symptoms of allergy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Influence of host genetics on innate immunity and susceptibility to urinary tract infection

    Author : Bryndis Ragnarsdottir; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neutrophils; IRF3; Innate Immunity; urinary tract infections; acute pyelonephritis; asymptomatic bacteriuria; Toll-like receptor 4; CXCR1; TLR4 adaptors; polymorphisms;

    Abstract : It has been known for a long time that the clinical manifestations of urinary tract infections (UTI) differ markedly between individuals, ranging from a sometimes beneficial, asymptomatic state to life threatening infections. This variability in clinical manifestation can be explained in part by the arsenal of virulence factors of the bacteria but the predisposition of the patient is equally important. READ MORE

  5. 3. Stress urinary incontinence in women : pathophysiological aspects

    Author : Christian Falconer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : menopause; paraurethral connective tissue; extracellular matrix; collagen. proteoglycans; sensory innervation; intravaginal slingplasty.;

    Abstract : Objective: The pathophysiology of female stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is multifactorial. In this thesis biochemical and ultrastructural changes in the paraurethral supporting connective tissue and changes in the innervation of the vaginal wall in relation to SUI have been focused upon.

    Abstract : Organic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are important industrial chemicals but also potent inducers of airways diseases. Many exposed workers develop specific IgE and IgG antibodies. Hexahydrophthalic anhydride (HHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA) are two particularly sensitising OAAs. READ MORE
