  2. 21. Low biocide emission antifouling based on a novel route of barnacle intoxication

    Author : Emiliano Pinori; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; antifouling; Barnacles; ivermectin; low biocide emission; marine fouling; marine paint; ISO 15181; ToF-SIMS;

    Abstract : Marine biofouling can be defined as the colonization of man-made surfaces in seawater by microscopic and macroscopic organisms. This phenomenon can result in great loss of function and effectiveness both for cruising ships and for static constructions. READ MORE

  4. 22. Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy : new insights into the disease mechanism and prospects for pharmacological therapy

    Author : Laura C Bott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Expansion of a polyglutamine-encoding trinucleotide CAG repeat in the androgen receptor (AR) gene causes spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA, or Kennedy’s disease). SBMA is an adult-onset disease characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy due to the degeneration of lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. READ MORE

  5. 23. Aspects of physical activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis : associations with inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors

    Author : Kristina Hörnberg; Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Björn Sundström; Christina Helging Opava; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physiotherapy; rheumatoid arthritis; cardiovascular disease; aerobic capacity; physical activity; exercise; primary prevention;

    Abstract : Background: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), partially attributable to systemic inflammation and traditional risk factors for CVD. Since physical activity (PA) is strongly related to CVD in the general population, the aim of this thesis was to describe aspects of PA in patients with RA, and further to analyse associations with disease activity, traditional risk factors for CVD and subclinical atherosclerosis.

  6. 24. Molecular basis for the anti-inflammatory properties of chlomethiazole

    Author : Anastasia Simi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Stroke; neuroprotection; p38 MAP kinase; chlomethiazole; interleukin-1; c-fos; inflammation; glia; lipopolysaccharide; molecular mechanisms; ischaemia;

    Abstract : Chlomethiazole (CMZ) exerts neuroprotective effects in animal models of stroke, and its clinical efficacy is currently evaluated in acute stroke patients. CMZ also protects the liver from alcohol- induced oxidative damage by inhibiting the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), as well as inflammation associated with alcohol liver disease (ALD) by inhibiting cytokine expression.

  7. 25. Vibro cholerae O139 : identification, characterization and vaccine strategies

    Author : Susanna Falklind Jerkérus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vibrio cholerae 0139; diarrhea; detection; carbohydrate mimics;

    Abstract : Cholera is an acute dehydrating diarrheal disease, and epidemics as well as pandemics of cholera are a major health problem in developing countries and cause many deaths each year, especially in children. Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae serogroup, 01 and since 1992 also by serogroup 0139. The emergence of V. READ MORE
