  2. 11. Innate lymphocyte responses in inflammatory diseases

    Author : Johanna Emgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system is a highly sophisticated system that has evolved to protect the host from external and internal threats. However, under some circumstances the immune response can get dysregulated and cause inflammatory diseases. READ MORE

  4. 12. Coagulase-negative staphylococci septicaemia in newborns : aspects on host-bacterial interactions with special regard to neutrophil and endothelial response

    Author : Maria Björkqvist; Stellan Håkansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Newborn infants, especially those born preterm, are immunologically immature and prone to invasive infections. As a result of the increasing survival of very preterm (VPT < 31 weeks gestational age) newborns, nosocomial septicaemia has become a major concern the neonatal intensive care, and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) are nowadays the most frequently isolated pathogens in neonatal blood cultures.

    Author : Axel Nelson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heparan sulphate; glycocalyx; hyaluronic acid; syndecan; permeability; antimicrobial;

    Abstract : The endothelial glycocalyx is the carbohydrate rich inner layer of the blood vessels. Important components of the glycocalyx are the proteoglycans with their attached glycosaminoglycans. READ MORE

  6. 14. Infections in allogeneic stem cell transplanted patients : clinical and immunological aspects

    Author : Elda Sparrelid; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HSCT; bacteraemia invasive fungal infection; interstitial pneumonia; immunity.;

    Abstract : In allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 30 to 40 % of transplant related mortality is associated with infection complications. This includes invasive bacterial and fungal infection, and interstitial pneumonia (IP), which are two important causes of morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

  7. 15. Leukocytes and Coronary Artery Disease : Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Author : Eva Lindmark; Peter Kierulf; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Tissue factor; monocytes; platelets; cytokines; endothelial cells; unstable coronary artery disease; coagulation; inflammation; biochemical markers; IL-6; risk stratification; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Tissue factor (TF) is the initiator of the coagulation cascade. Monocytes do not normally express TF, but can be induced to do so by certain stimuli. Aberrant TF expression is important in the thrombotic complications of bacterial sepsis, certain malignancies and coronary artery disease (CAD). READ MORE
