  2. 16. Physical, Chemical and Biochemical Modifications of Industrial Softwood Kraft Lignin for Different Applications

    Author : Miao Wang; Jiebing Li; Mikael Lindström; Elisabeth Sjöholm; Gunnar Westman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Various technical lignins, e.g. industrial Softwood Kraft lignin (SKL), are now largely available while they are generally underutilized due to their heterogeneous and complicated structures and/or the poor properties. READ MORE

  4. 17. Super liquid-repellent surfaces - interactions and gas capillaries

    Author : Mimmi Eriksson; Per M. Claesson; Agne Swerin; Marie Skepö; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superhydrophobicity; superamphiphobicity; wetting; capillary forces; AFM; LSCM; superhydrofobicitet; superamfifobicitet; vätning; kapillärkrafter; AFM; LSCM; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Super liquid-repellent surfaces have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. In addition to the large scientific interest there are many potential technological applications ranging from self-cleaning materials to microfluidic devices. READ MORE

  5. 18. Regional ventilation, pulmonary perfusion and gas exchange in supine and prone positions

    Author : Margareta Mure; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ARDS; ALI; CPAP; Gas exchange; Prone position; Regional ventilation; Regional perfusion; Supine position;

    Abstract : The rationale for treating patients with acute lung injury in the prone position springs from a number of observations. Clinical reports have documented improved oxygenation when patients are turned prone. Regional vascular conductance is higher in dorsal lung regions regardless of posture. READ MORE

  6. 19. Pneumococcal vaccination in inflammatory rheumatic disease. Antibody response and protection against infections

    Author : Johanna Nagel; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vaccination; pneumococci; inflammatory rheumatic disease;

    Abstract : AbstractObjectives: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) have higher risk of serious infections than healthy individuals due to their illness, comorbidities and treatments. Streptococcus pneumoniae is responsible for 30-50% of community aquired pneumonia in Europe. READ MORE

  7. 20. Blood Flow Regulation and Inflammatory Response in Experimental Models of Diabetes

    Author : Ulrika Pettersson; Mia Phillipson; Leif Jansson; Johanna Henriksnäs; Mikael Rydén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Islets; beta-cells; pancreas; inflammation; obesity; adipose tissue; rats; mice; leukocytes; beta3-adrenoceptors; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is caused by defect pancreatic islet β-cells together with peripheral insulin resistance. The disease is often accompanied by obesity with associated low-grade visceral adipose tissue inflammation, which contributes to insulin resistance. READ MORE
