   Abstract : Wound management in primary and community care was investigated throughout a period of 12 years within a well-defined population in one county in Southern Sweden. The estimated prevalence of chronic leg and foot ulcers was 0.19% in 1998 and the mean prevalence was 0.20% during the years 1994-1998. READ MORE

   Abstract : Infectious diseases e.g. gastric ulcer, caries and perodontitis, are caused by bacteria in a biofilm. Adhesion of bacteria to host ligands e. READ MORE

5. 3. Helicobacter pylori binding to gastric mucins and host glycosylation changes after inoculation

   Author : Sara Lindén; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicinska vetenskaper allmänt ; General biomedical sciences; host-parasite interactions; H. pylori adhesin; mucin; Lewis antigen;

   Abstract : Helicobacter pylori may cause gastritis, gastric/duodenal ulcer and gastric cancer. During infection, most H. pylori are found in the gastric mucus layer, but some are attached to, or have penetrated, epithelial cells. The aim of this study is to characterize the binding of H.

6. 4. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

   Author : Miriam Rodriguez; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; NHL; CT; MRI; PET; malignancy grade; prognosis; residual mass; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; diagnostisk radiologi; Diagnostic Radiology;

   Abstract : Certain aspects of the use of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) were evaluated in patients with non-Hodgkin'slymphoma (NHL) with the aim of improving the management of these patients.Subjective evaluation of the tumor pattern on CT images, and quantification of tracer uptake using 11C methionine (11C Met) and [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (18FDG) PET in patients with NHL, were performed to determine their relations to malignancy grade.

7. 5. Interaction between gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori and host cells

   Author : Bin Su; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; receptors; Lewis blood group antigen; MCP; integrin and signals;

   Abstract : H. pylori plays a causative role in the pathogenesis of gastritis, gastric atrophy, gastric and duodenal ulcer, and is believed to predispose to gastric adenocarcinoma as well as low-grade B-cell lymphoma. Lewisb (Leb) blood group antigen is a receptor for Leb adhesin-positive H. pylori strains. READ MORE
