Lactobacilli are present in the intestine and oral cavity of most adults. Secretory IgA in mucosal secretions may provide carbohydrate receptors for bacterial adhesins. Here, oral and faecal samples from 33 IgA-deficient individuals and 34 controls were cultured for lactobacilli, which were identified using species-specific PCR or partial 165 rDNA sequencing and tested for expression of mannose-sp
Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of Mendelian disorders that often lead to progressive vision loss and involve approximately 300 distinct genes. Although variants in these loci account for the majority of molecular diagnoses, other genes associated with IRD await molecular identification. In this study, we uncover bi-allelic assortments of 23 different (22 lo
Objective: To investigate prevalence and clinical correlates of serum C1q and anti-C1q antibody titres in black South Africans with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: Cross-sectional study of 96 SLE patients, 49 with lupus nephritis (LN). Anti-C1q antibodies were tested by ELISA. Serum C1q was measured as a percentage of normal by immunoelectrophoresis. Disease activity was assessed usin
Proletarization of the countryside featured the birth of modern Sweden. Landless poor, tenants, corvée labourers, indentured servants of the nobility, the freeholders and the industrialists, characterized rural Sweden. This heterogenous group of central Sweden also included a group of Sámi whom, avoiding eviction to the far north, were forced to sign contracts as hunters, butchers, and crafters in

Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer, särskilt äldre, som vårdas på sjukhus kan under vårdtiden utveckla ett tillfälligt förvirringstillstånd (akut konfusion, ACS). Tillståndet är ofta förenat med obehag för patienten och efteråt ber de ibland vårdarna om ursäkt för sitt beteende. Det är därför angeläget att vårdarna har en uppfattning om hur de skall förhålla sig till patientens förvirrade beteenThe aims of this thesis were to investigate factors of significance for the development of acute confusional state (ACS), the confusional episodes, the lived experiences of having been confused in elderly patients admitted for emergency or elective surgery in orthopaedic care. A further aim was to investigate the nurses’ view of the ACS and the encounter with patients who developed ACS. A case stu
Implants of commercially pure titanium and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were inserted in the rat abdominal wall for 1, 6 or 12 wk. The foreign body reaction was evaluated by immunohistochemical quantification of monocytes/macrophages and by the thickness of the foreign-body capsule. At all time intervals, the majority of interfacial cells were ED1-positive while ED2-positive cells were localized
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersökes och diskuteras människosyn i arkeologisk forskning i ett långtidsperspektiv. Frågorna kring existentiella bilder av människan fokuseras kring det arkeologiska problemet jordbrukets uppkomst. Teorier om jordbrukets uppkomst från klassisk tid fram till det sena 1900-talet diskuteras med avseende på människosyn och dess förändring över tid ochArchaeology is about human beings – in the present and in the past. When we concern ourselves with archaeology we have to imagine prehistoric human beings thinking, feeling and acting. This imagining is the very precondition for the creation of meaning from the fragments and traces of human lives that we choose as our data. What kind of images of human beings do we create through the writing and r
Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) has successfully been used in immunotherapy of different experimental tumours. Mechanistically, IFN-gamma has extensive effects on the immune system including release of nitric oxide (NO) by upregulation of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). NO has putative immunosuppressive effects but could also play a role in killing of tumour cells. Therefore, the aim of t
Clinical trials involving intrastriatal transplants of human embryonic mesencephalic tissue have provided proof-of-principle that nigral dopamine (DA) neurons can survive and functionally integrate into the host neural circuitry. However, the degree of graft-induced symptomatic relief differs significantly between the patients. This variability has led to investigations aimed at identifying factor
The aim the thesis work was to study the human cystatins C, E/M, F, G, H and I both in vivo and in vitro. A mouse devoid of cystatin C was used for the cystatin C studies. The levels of cystatins C, E/M and F were measured in pleural effusion samples of patients with various lung disorders. Cystatin F protein and RNA levels were measured in the human haematopoietic cell line U937 as well as in cel
In the light of technological changes, changes in business contexts, decreased number of IS students, changes in educational systems, etc., IS education commentators have urged the IS community to develop new and alternative IS curricula. In response to this, we present a model curriculum for a Bachelor of Science program in business information systems design (BISD 2007). The curriculum has a str
Stem Cell travel refers to patients with a variety of diseases and debilitating disorders who travel abroad to receive unproven stem cell treatments. Current academic research investigating how to combat stem cell travel has yet to offer a complete understanding of the link between patient hope and autonomy, and building or losing trust in medical authorities. To combat stem cell travel, understan
The purpose of this paper is to discuss how theories of social and intellectual development of scientific fields can be used to analyze LIS, and especially its relationship to other research areas and the library and information field of practice. Scientific fields can be seen as reputational work organizations, where degrees of task uncertainty and mutual dependency control the coordination and d
Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING (Summary in Swedish) Ett självmordsförsök innebär ett stort lidande, såväl ho's personen i fråga som ho's omgivningen. Psykiatrin's huvudsakliga syfte i behandlingen av självmordsnära individer är att förhindra upprepade självmordsförsök och självmord. Av dem som gör ett självmordsförsök har 35 – 50% gjort ett eller flera självmordsföAbstract One important task for the mental health services is to prevent suicidal behaviour, especially among persons at high risk, e.g. those who have attempted suicide. In two follow-up samples, one and three months after a suicide attempts, both n=97, we found that 32% and 38% of the patients respectively had no treatment and 30% in each sample had suicidal thoughts.
