    Author : Gustaf Tegler; Anders Wanhainen; Martin Björck; Jens Sörensen; Lars Norgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Abdominal aortic aneurysm; AAA; Positron emission tomography; PET; Molecular Imaging; Pathophysiology; Autoradiography; Angiogenesis; integrin alphaVbeta3; FDG; 18F-FDG; 11C-PK11195; 11C-D-deprenyl; [18F]fluciclatide; Fluciclatide; Bukaortaaneurysm; Molekylär bilddiagnostik; Patofysiologi; PET; Autoradiografi; Angiogenes; Surgery; Kirurgi; Medicinsk radiofysik; Medical Radiophysics;

    Abstract : The pathological process behind abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation is poorly understood and difficult to study. The aim of the thesis was to study the pathophysiology of AAA formation with positron emission tomography (PET) technology, a molecular imaging technique, allowing in vivo studies of pathophysiological changes.

  4. 7. Immunopathology of the Pancreas in Type 1 Diabetes

    Author : Anna Wiberg; Olle Korsgren; Oskar Skog; Åke Lernmark; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 diabetes; glucagon; T cells; autoantibodies; glucose transporters; islets of Langerhans; pancreas; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from a loss of functional insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. The etiology of T1D is poorly understood, but the detection of infiltrating inflammatory cells in the pancreas and circulating autoantibodies has led to the common notion that an autoimmune process plays a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

  5. 8. The role of human cytomegalovirus infection in cancer

    Author : Chato Taher; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is thought that up to 20% of cancers are caused by infectious agents, and an oncogenic role of several viruses has been established for certain tumours. Increasing evidence implies that human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is associated with a number of malignancies. READ MORE

  6. 9. A matter of faith? : combatting human trafficking in Thailand & Cambodia

    Author : Andreas Henriksson; Elisabeth Olivius; Malin Eklund Wimelius; Marie Juul Petersen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; human trafficking; antitrafficking; faith-based organizations; religion in development; faith infusion: secularism; therapeutic governance; holistic development; co-ownership; Cambodia; Thailand; statskunskap; political science;

    Abstract : Human trafficking is estimated to affect about 49 million people worldwide. Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are extensively involved in efforts to counter this global problem, alongside governments, intergovernmental organizations, and various types of non-governmental organizations (NGOs).

  7. 10. Islet insulin secretory patterns in diabetes and the role of UCP2

    Author : Jian-Man Lin; Valdemar Grill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; type 1 diabetes; type 2 diabetes; NOD; GK; congenes; KKAy; human; islet; glucose; insulin release; oscillation; frequency; amplitude; oxidation; respiration; UCP2; western blot; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; medicinsk cellbiologi; Medical Cell Biology;

    Abstract : During development of type 1 and type 2 diabetes plasma insulin patterns are altered. Since the islet insulin release pattern has been implicated in this development, insulin secretion from single islets was studied and linked to the islet protein levels of uncoupling protein-2 (UCP2).
