  2. 21. The Role of Lhx2 During Organogenesis : - Analysis of the Hepatic, Hematopoietic and Olfactory Systems

    Author : Åsa Kolterud; Leif Carlsson; Stefan Thor; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; LIM-homeobox gene; Lhx2; fetal liver; hepatic stellate cells; hematopoietic stem cells; septum transversum; self-renewal; odorant receptor genes; olfactory epithelium; olfactory sensory neuron; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : During embryonic development a variety of tissues and organs such as the lung, eye, and kidney are being formed. The generation of functional organs is regulated by reciprocal cell-cell interactions. Via the secretion of soluble molecules one type of cells affect the fate of their neighboring cells. READ MORE

  4. 22. Chemical and sensory analysis of off-flavour compounds in drinking water

    Author : Roger Sävenhed; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : A combination of chemical and sensory methods, which permit the analysis of individual off flavour organic compounds in drinking water, has been developed. A modified stripping technique using an open system was found to be superior to the standard closed-loop system. READ MORE

  5. 23. Neuropeptides, sensory neurons and pain modulation

    Author : Pablo R Brumovsky; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In the present thesis work we have analyzed the expression, regulation and function of two neuropeptides: galanin and neuropeptide tyrosine (NPY). Their associated receptors, galanin receptor-1 and -2 (GaIR1, -R2) and NPY Y1- and Y2R, were also studied. READ MORE

  6. 24. Assessment of human swallowing using in-vivo and in-vitro approaches

    Author : Muhammad Waqas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; in-vitro manometery; In-vitro simulations; In-vivo analysis; microstructure analysis; extensional rheology; dysphagia; Ultrasound viscometry; Bolus Rheology;

    Abstract : Texture modification is the most vital strategy to manage dysphagia: a condition in which food and beverages are difficult to swallow. Typically thickeners in the form of starch or gums are added to the food to increase the viscosity and thereby reduce the speed of bolus flow. READ MORE

  7. 25. Exploring the role of rheology in bolus flow using an in-vitro approach

    Author : Muhammad Waqas; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extensional rheology; ultrasound viscometery; Bolus rheology; in vivo analysis; in vitro manometry; In-vitro simulations; degluitition; microstructure analysis; thickened fluids; Dysphagia;

    Abstract : Swallowing disorders, termed ‘dysphagia’, are more common in the elderly but can also affect younger persons. Approximately, 8% of the world’s population suffers from dysphagia. A Texture Modified Diet (TMD), which increases bolus viscosity to adjust for the sluggish bolus handling mechanism, is the most common intervention. READ MORE
