The chapter by definition focuses on Swedish research and treatment practice in the area of comorbiditity. Three “ethiological” lines of comorbidity is outlined. it thus seems warranted to look upon patients with a precipitating psychiatric diagnosis and a consequent problem of alcohol and/or substance abuse as one specific model/type (1). A second type representting the drug and substance depende

This is a taxonomic revision of the corticolous and lignicolous taxa of the genera Bacidia and Bacidina (Lecanoraceae, Lecanorales, lichenized Ascomycotina) in the continental United States and Canada. Twenty-seven species of Bacidia (one of which is divided into two subspecies) and twelve species of Bacidina are recognized. The morphology, secondary chemistry, ecology, and phytogeography of these

In the present thesis molecular genetic methods were used to address different biological and clinical aspects of Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive leukemias and the BCR and ABL genes. In the first study, children with Ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) were found to have essentially the same breakpoint locations in BCR as adults, a pattern which differs from the one seen in Ph-positiv

Popular Abstract in Swedish BAKGRUND Hjärnskador till följd av otillräckligt blodflöde eller skallskador drabbar varje år ett stort antal människor i vårt land. Otillräckligt blodflöde till hjärnan (cerebral ischemi) uppträder vid en rad kliniska tillstånd, exempelvis slaganfall (stroke), hjärtstillestånd och gravt sänkt blodtryck. Hjärnskador till följd av våld mot huvudet (traumatiska hjärnskadIschemic and traumatic brain damage are major causes of disability and death. While much effort has been spent to develop pharmacological treatments for these conditions, no neuroprotective drugs are in clinical use. Neuronal death following ischemia and trauma occurs in selected cell populations of the brain at various time points after the insult. It is believed that death of neurons are in part

The authors utilize different methodologies, disciplinary traditions, and analytical perspectives. Yet, they all draw our attention to the complex and contradictory ways in which men and women from or living in the Gulf are selectively incorporated into a world society. The workshop papers were summarized and form the basis of this proceedings document prepared by Ghalia Gargani, Acting Director o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid njursvikt finns två huvudsakliga metoder för att rena blodet: bukdialys och bloddialys. Vid bukdialys, peritonealdialys (PD), används bukhinnan som dialysmembran, och sockerhaltig dialysvätska fylls på via en kateter i bukväggen. Under dialysen sker transport av slaggprodukter och överskottsvätska från blodet till bukhålan. Dialysen pågår kontinuerligt under hela dyAccording to the three-pore model of peritoneal transport the major exchange pathway between the blood and the peritoneal cavity is represented by “small pores”, permeable to small solutes and water. Osmotically induced fluid flow, as during peritoneal dialysis (PD), is postulated to occur to a great extent through a water-only pathway, whereas proteins are predicted to reach the peritoneal cavity

Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is characterized by the accumulation of immature cells due to disturbed differentiation and proliferation of the myeloid lineage. Genetic alterations affecting transcription factors and receptor tyrosine kinases have been identified in AML and causally linked to the disease. The goal of this review is to address the role of the different genetic alterations in self

Aim. To study the association between anthropometric measures: body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, waist circumference (WC), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), waist-to-hip-to-height ratio (WHHR), and A Body Shape Index (ABSI); to see if individuals in the lowest 5 percentiles for these measures have an increased risk of mortality. Methods. A population-based prospective
