2. 1. Swedish operating room nurses preventive interventions to reduce bacterial growth, surgical site infections, and increase comfort in patients undergoing surgery

   Author : Camilla Wistrand; Ulrica Nilsson; Bo Söderquist; Karin Falk-Brynhildsen; Tor Monsen; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; skin disinfection; patient experience; skin temperature; intra-operative; surgical site infection; bacterial growth; recolonization;

   Abstract : Surgical site infection is a major postoperative complication that causes patient suffering and is costly for society. The general aim of this thesis was to test and describe interventions performed by operating room (OR) nurses to prevent bacterial growth in surgical patients, with the intent to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) whilst increase patients comfort.

4. 2. Staphylococcus aureus in the infantile bowel flora

   Author : Erika Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; intestinal; microflora; superantigen; RAPD; bacteria; infants;

   Abstract : The increasingly hygienic life-style in Western societies may not only have reduced infections, but may also have altered the composition of the commensal microflora, which may, in turn, have predisposed to e.g. allergy development. Here we investigated the first year s intestinal colonization pattern of a Swedish birth-cohort. READ MORE

5. 3. Cutaneous resistance against Francisella tularensis

   Author : Stephan Stenmark; Mikael Rhen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : tularemia; Francisella tularensis; skin; protection; cytokines; T-cells; B-cells; specific antibodies; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar;

   Abstract : Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, is a potent pathogen in humans and other mammals. The ulceroglandular form of the disease is the most common expression in humans with a clinical picture characterized by a skin ulcer, enlarged regional lymph nodes and fever. READ MORE

6. 4. Infant microbiota and short chain fatty acids - relation to lifestyle and effect on health

   Author : Monica Gio-Batta; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microbiota; gut; oral; skin; short chain fatty acids; allergy; siblings; farm; pets; extremely preterm; quantitative culture; 16S rRNA gene sequencing;

   Abstract : The commensal microbiota has both beneficial and negative effects on the host. It is a source of infectious and inflammatory microorganisms, but may also provide immune stimulation during a critical period during early infancy that possibly offers protection against allergy and other immune mediated diseases.

7. 5. A methodological platform to study molecular biocompatibility of biomaterials. Experimental and clinical studies

   Author : Maria Lennerås; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osseointegration; titanium; inflammation; cell recruitment; cell adhesion; bone regeneration; bone remodelling; gene expression; immunohistochemistry; histomorphometry; removal torque; ultrastructure; FACS; protein profiling; transfemoral amputation; abutment; percutaneous; bacteria; clinical signs;

   Abstract : The aim of this project was to develop a methodological platform in order to advance our scientific understanding of the mechanisms of osseointegration. Screw-shaped, titanium implants, with different surface properties, were inserted in the rat tibia, or incubated in mono- or co-culture of human monocytes and MSCs. READ MORE
