Popular Abstract in Swedish Cystisk Fibros Cystisk Fibros (CF) är en relativt vanlig ärftlig sjukdom. Ungefär 1/37 personer i Sverige bär på anlag till CF, men bärare har inga symptom och vet därför inte att de har anlagen. För att få sjukdomen måste fostret få två anlag, ett från vardera föräldern, vilket är 25% risk vid varje graviditet för föräldrapar där båda är bärare. CF är en dödlig sjukdomCystic Fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disorder leading to progressive deterioration of lung function and death. This thesis describes the demography of CF in Sweden, its treatment, with special reference to physiotherapy, and its effects on lung function and peak working capacity (PWC). The study is based on Swedish CF patients and evaluates our current CF treatment package, which differs fr

Monocytes and macrophages are part of the body’s first line of defense, eliminating pathogens by phagocytosis or by releasing a broad array of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines, chemokines and proteases. In humans, three subsets of monocytes are described with seemingly different functions. The classical (CD14++CD16-) monocytes, the intermediate (CD14++CD16+) monocytes and the non-classica

The increase and range extension of wolves (Canis lupus L) and brown bears ( Ursus arctos L) in Scandinavia inevitably impacts moose (Alces alces L.) populations and, as a consequence, the size and composition of the hunter harvest must be adjusted. We used a sex- and age-structured moose population model to delineate optimal harvest strategies under predation and to compare the resulting harvest

The objective of this study was to test if apatite amendment stimulates growth of ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi and if this is influenced by the phosphorus status of the forest. The production of EM mycelia was estimated in four Norway spruce forests in south-western Sweden by incubating sand-filled mesh bags (with or without apatite amendment) in the soil for 8 or 20 months. Fungal biomass in the me

Spinocerebellar systems are likely to be crucial for cerebellar hallmark functions such as coordination. However, in terms of cerebellar functional analyses, these are perhaps among the least explored systems. The aim of the present study is to achieve activation of a single component of the spinocerebellar systems and to explore to what extent it can influence the spike output of granule cells, G

In March 2003, the United States' armed forces and their allies invaded Iraq. Today, more than three years later, those armed forces are still there. An extended military operation like this requires a massive amount of soldiers. To be able to provide adequate security and fulfill all the jobs required to maintain the armed forces in Iraq, the United States' government and its' subdivi

Cancer cells within a given tumor were long regarded as a largely homogeneous group of cells originating from a common progenitor cell. However, it is increasingly appreciated that there is a considerable heterogeneity within tumors also on the tumor cell level. This heterogeneity extends to virtually all measurable properties of cancer cells, ranging from differentiation state, proliferation rate

The life-history parameters of most living organisms are modified by fluctuations in environmental conditions. The impact of environmental autocorrelation on population persistence is well understood in single species systems. However, in multi-species communities the impact of stochasticity is complicated by the possibility of different species having differing intrinsic responses to the environm

The project was performed for FAS Converting Machinery AB (FAS) in Ystad with supervision from Industriell Elektroteknik och Automation at LTH. FAS is a company that makes machines for producing plastic bags on a roll. The problem given was to develop a sensor for detecting the perforations in the bags to ensure that the correct amount of bags was rolled up and that the tearing was in the right pl

En datorimplementerad affärsmetod kan se ut på en mängd olika sätt. Beroende på dess utformning och syfte så varierar också de skyddsmöjligheter som står till buds. Både skydd genom patent och som en företagshemlighet erbjuder fördelar som bör tas i beaktande när ett företag sätter upp en strategi för skydd av en affärsmetod. Trots det formella undantaget av affärsmetoder från det patenterbara oA computer implemented business method may take various forms. The protection possibilities may depend on the business method’s character and purpose. Both patent protection and protection as a trade secret provides for advantages as well as disadvantages for a business to consider when choosing a strategy for the protection of a business method. Despite the official exemption of business methods

Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes photoreceptor survival but also suppresses electroretinogram (ERG) responses. This has caused concerns about whether CNTF is detrimental to the function of photoreceptors because it is considered to be a potential treatment for retinal degenerative disorders. Here we report that the suppression of ERG responses is attributable to negative regulation of t

Seventy-nine consecutive patients, 70 patients with acoustic neurinomas (ACN) and 9 patients with cerebello-pontine angle tumours of other etiology (o-CPA) were analysed with respect to tumour size and the result of the caloric and oculomotor tests. The size of the tumour was judged by the largest diameter calculated from the computerized tomography. A highly significant linear relationship betwee

The project How to think about a place not yet concerns the mechanisms and attitudes adopted by the professional designer in an urban design process – i.e. how intuitive and affective response in a design process delimit the range of plausible designs. The affordances of the environment are suited to the particular acting space of an individual and communicate the possibilities and capacities for

Neurotrophic factors are candidates for treating epilepsy, but their development has been hampered by difficulties in achieving stable and targeted delivery of efficacious concentrations within the desired brain region. We have developed an encapsulated cell technology that overcomes these obstacles by providing a targeted, continuous, de novo synthesized source of high levels of neurotrophic mole
