2. 1. Pharmacoepidemiology of Antibiotics, Weak Opioids and Statins with Special Reference to Socioeconomic Aspects - an Ecological Approach

   Author : Karin Henricson; Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Farmakologi; toxicology; pharmacy; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; statins; weak opioids; antibiotics; effectiveness; socioeconomic factors; Ecologic studies; drug utilisation; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi; Social medicine; Socialmedicin; samhällsmedicin;

   Abstract : The influence of socioeconomic factors on drug utilisation has been studied by pharmacoepidemiological analyses involving 1) drugs that are used to cure disease, such as antibiotics, 2) drugs that are used to alleviate symptoms, such as weak opioids, and 3) drugs that are used to prevent disease, such as statins. In a large Swedish city (Malmö), the utilisation of four major drug groups (ATC-groups A = alimentation, C = circulation, N = nervous system, and R = respiration) correlated positively with an unfavourable socioeconomic situation, most pronouncedly with group N and least so with group R.

   Keywords : Opioid peptides; enkephalin; opioid receptors; joint; primary afferents; synovial lining cells; vascular smooth muscle; arthritis; osteoarthrosis; immunohistochemistry; radioimmunoassay; RTPCR; binding assay;

   Abstract : The aim was to explore the occurrence of an opioid system in joints. Thus, joint tissues from rats with and without arthritis and also from patients with knee osteoarthrosis were investigated by EM, immunohistochemistry, RIA, HPLC, receptor binding assay and RT-PCR. READ MORE

6. 4. Mucositis Prevention for Patients Receiving High Dose Chemotherapy and Stem Cell Transplantation : Preventive Strategies - There is Always More to do

   Author : Anncarin Svanberg; Gunnar Birgegård; Kerstin Öhrn; Sharon Elad; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oral mucositis; stem cell transplantion; oral cryotherapy; cooling; cytokine IL-6;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate oral cryotherapy (OC) as prophy-laxis against oral mucositis (OM) in patients given high-dose chemotherapy for stem cell transplantation (SCT). A new mouth rinse device was tested for possible additive effect to OC.For study I-III, 78 patients were randomised to OC or standard oral care (SOC). READ MORE

7. 5. Experimental and clinical studies on the antiemetic effects of propofol

   Author : Bengt Hammas; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; gastric emptying; gastric tone; orocecal transit time; propofol; dopamine; serotonin; morphine; postoperative nausea and vomiting; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; anestesiologi; Anaesthesiology;

   Abstract : Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is still a clinical problem and its incidence is unacceptably high. After the introduction of propofol as an agent for induction and maintenance of anesthesia, it was reported that the incidence of PONV was lower. It was also proposed that propofol possesses antiemetic effects. READ MORE
