    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Spatial links; Aquaculture; Coral Reefs; Seagrass; Seascape; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Aquaculture is of growing importance in the global seafood production. The environmental impact of aquaculture will largely depend on the type of environment in which the aquaculture system is placed. READ MORE

  4. 2. Role of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase and Melatonin in Regulation of β-cell Sensitivity to Cytokines

    Author : Annika K. Andersson; Stellan Sandler; Nils Welsh; Décio L. Eizirik; Nils Billestrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; β-cell; Cyclooxygenase; Cytokine; Diabetes; IFN-γ; IL-1β; iNOS; Insulin; Melatonin; Nitric oxide; Pancreatic islets; Phospholipase D; Prostaglandin E2; Streptozotocin; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The mechanisms of β-cell destruction leading to type 1 diabetes are complex and not yet fully understood, but infiltration of the islets of Langerhans by autoreactive immune cells is believed to be important. Activated macrophages and T-cells may then secrete cytokines and free radicals, which could selectively damage the β-cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. A multidisciplinary risk assessment of dental restorative materials

    Author : Anders Tillberg; Anders Berglund; Bengt Järvholm; Lars Widman; Nils Eriksson; Nils Roar Gjerdet; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Amalgam has been used as a dental restorative material for centuries, but its potential health effects and biopersistance has lead to a decreased use especially in the Nordic countries. New materials have been introduced, partly to replace the mercury containing amalgam and partly because of esthetical reasons. READ MORE

  6. 4. Study of the Proliferation, Function and Death of Insulin-Producing Beta-Cells in vitro: Role of the Transcription Factor ZBED6

    Author : Xuan Wang; Nils Welsh; Nils Billestrup; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ZBED6; Pancreatic beta-cell; Proliferation; Insulin secretion; Apoptosis; Adhesion; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : A thorough understanding of beta-cell proliferation, function, death and regeneration under normal condition as well as in the progression of diabetes is crucial to the conquest of this disease. The work presented in this thesis aimed to investigate the expression and role of a novel transcription factor, Zinc finger BED domain-containing protein 6 (ZBED6), in beta-cells. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hand eczema and contact allergy in healthcare work

    Author : Nils Hamnerius; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; occupational dermatitis; healthcare worker; hand eczema; allergic contact dermatitis; rubber additives; diphenylguanidine; medical gloves;

    Abstract : Hand eczema is common in healthcare workers. Besides wet work, healthcare work also implies exposure to contact allergens. Occupational hand exposures have changed in recent years owing to implementation of hand hygiene procedures including an increased use of medical gloves. READ MORE
