If you are active in a student organisation, in other words a student union, nation or the Academic Society (AF), support is available from the Student Health Centre. This could concern everything from providing information to and interacting with other students to obtaining support for combining your student life commitments with your studies. For many students, student life is an important eleme

Introduction: In kidney transplantation (KT), the role of the intravascular innate immune system (IIIS) in response to ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is not well-understood. Here, we studied parallel changes in the generation of key activation products of the proteolytic cascade systems of the IIIS following living donor (LD) and deceased donor (DD) transplantation and evaluated potential assoc

Topical application of capsaicin is thought to deplete substance P from local sensory nerve terminals. In experiments on human skin inflammation was induced by injection of substance P (SP) or histamine intradermally, UV irradiation, non-immunologic contact urticaria, tuberculin reaction, contact allergens and benzalkonium chloride with or without capsaicin pretreatment. The flare response to SP a

The current study aimed to characterize changes in EEG-related measures after noxious stimuli in neonates, and to assess their potential utility as measures of pain and/or discomfort during neonatal intensive care.Seventy-two healthy term infants were investigated: Twenty-eight had a non skin-breaking pin-prick on the heel, randomized to receive either oral glucose (n=16) or water (n=12) before th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Celldöd är en lika viktig process som celldelning. Under hela ens liv måste vävnadens storlek regleras och gamla eller skadade celler förnyas. Detta styrs av en process som kallas programmerad cell död. Denna process är noggrant reglerad så att enbart oönskade celler tas bort. Om regleringen sätts ur funktion leder detta till ohämmad celldelning och cancer. Ett problem HAMLET (Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a molecular complex of alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid, that induces programmed cells death in tumor cells but leaves healthy differentiated cells unaffected. It has a broad anti-tumor activity as more than 40 cell lines from different origin are sensitive. The cell death activity of HAMLET is retained in vivo. HAMLET limits the progr

Purpose of Review: The Arctic has experienced the most rapid change in climate of anywhere on Earth, and these changes are certain to drive changes in the carbon budget of the Arctic as vegetation changes, soils warm, fires become more frequent, and wetlands evolve as permafrost thaws. In this study, we review the extensive evidence for Arctic climate change and effects on the carbon cycle. In add

Melanism, the process of heavier melanin deposition, can interact with climate variation at both micro and macro scales, ultimately influencing color evolution in organisms. While the ecological processes regulating melanin production in relation to climate have been extensively studied, intraspecific variations of melanism are seldom considered. Such scientific gap hampers our understanding of ho

In this thesis, I attempted to achieve a better understanding of the nature of X-linked polymorphic loci using a female-limited X chromosome (FLX) experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster. I expected that expressing the evolved X chromosome will result in an increase in female fitness and a decrease in male fitness. I first investigated the effect of an experimentally evolved female-limit

BACKGROUND: Macrophage foam cell formation is a prominent feature of human atherosclerotic plaques, usually considered to be correlated to uptake of and inflammatory response to oxidized low density lipoproteins (OxLDL). However, there are alternative pathways for formation of macrophage foam cells and the effect of such lipid loading on macrophage function remains to be fully characterized. In th

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether different tests of the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) reserve are influenced by diabetic state and metabolic control in newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients. DESIGN AND METHODS: We evaluated the ACTH reserve in 10 patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes during periods of poor and improved metabolic control and in 10 healthy subjects. The ACTH-cortisol se

The interaction between cooling and vasoactive substances, e.g. 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), plays an important role in the pathophysiology of cold-induced vasospasm. Our objective was to study the effect of cooling on the 5-HT vascular response, classify the involved 5-HT receptors, and to analyze the role of the endothelium.
