OBJECTIVE:: What is the risk of impaired lung function in contemporary Swedish rubber workers and are there modifying effects of genetic variants? METHODS:: Included in the study were 159 rubber exposed and 118 not-rubber exposed workers. Lung function was analyzed as forced vital capacity percent of predicted and forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent of predicted. Levels of 2-thiothiazolid

Background: Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) and lymphedema share some pathogenetic mechanisms, such as edema, inflammation, and adipogenesis. The aim of this study was to examine similarities and differences between chronic GO and chronic lymphedema. Methods: Intraorbital adipose tissue was collected from patients with active (n = 10) or chronic GO (n = 10) and thyroid-healthy controls (n = 10). Arm s

Background and purpose: Caveolin-1-deficiency is associated with substantial urogenital alterations. Here, a mechanical, histological and biochemical characterization of female detrusors from wild-type (WT) and caveolin-1-deficient (KO) mice was made to increase the understanding of detrusor changes caused by lack of caveolae. Experimental approach: Length-tension relationships were generated, and

Background We present 2DDB, a bioinformatics solution for storage, integration and analysis of quantitative proteomics data. As the data complexity and the rate with which it is produced increases in the proteomics field, the need for flexible analysis software increases. Results 2DDB is based on a core data model describing fundamentals such as experiment description and identified proteins. The

A new instrument for aerosol particle size determination and identification by shape is presented. The instrument is based on a diode laser in a coupled cavity. An extinction loss determines the size of a single aerosol particle entering the coupled-cavity diode laser, and a Fourier transformed diffraction image of near-forward scattered light is used for shape and orientation analysis. We describ

Popular Abstract in Swedish Eld och kontroll av denna samt dess användning anses vara en av människans äldsta och mest betydelsefulla teknologier som hjälpt till att bana väg för vår väsentliga framgång från stenåldern ända fram till vårt nutida samhälle. Det är därför inte konstigt att vi idag lever i en värld där mer än 90 % av vårt dagliga energibehov täcks genom förbränning av fossila och förnPhosphor Thermometry is a term describing an optical measurement technique for remote temperature sensing. Its working principle is based on the temperature-sensitive emission characteristics of certain ceramic substances termed thermographic phosphors. These inorganic materials can either be coated on objects for surface thermometry or be seeded into the gas phase or into liquid flows as solid pa

Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent cancer in women and a major public health problem in Morocco. Several Moroccan studies have focused on studying this disease, but more are needed, especially at the genetic and molecular levels. Therefore, we investigated the potential association of several functional germline variants in the genes commonly mutated in sporadic breast cancer.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen När tidningarna blev moderna – om svensk journalistik 1897-1969 syftar till att öka kunskapen om några av de fenomen som ingick i den svenska 1900-talsjournalistikens utveckling och expansion. Även om den svenska journalistiken naturligtvis moderniserades i olika steg, och flera av dem togs redan under 1800-talet, så infaller viktiga delar av denna modernisThe aim of the thesis is to increase the knowledge of some of the phenomena involved in the development and expansion of Swedish journalism in the 20th century. This is done primarily by research into the works of three major newspapermen, but also by studies of seven Swedish dailies’ reporting of nine labour market conflicts. The three newspapermen are C. G. Tengwall (chapter 1), Ewald Stomberg (
