Aspects of autoantibody epitopes in type 1 diabetes

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige insjuknar två barn i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1 diabetes) varje dag. Typ 1 diabetes (T1D) är en kronisk autoimmun sjukdom som kan få livshotande konsekvenser vid utebliven behandling. Sverige har den högsta incidensen av T1D i hela världen efter Finland. Förutom att den delvis är ärftlig vet man inte vilken eller vilka faktorer som triggar sjukdomen. Sedan mittType 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13266634 in th

Phenomenon of declining blood pressure in elderly - high systolic levels are undervalued with Korotkoff method.

BACKGROUND: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) decline has been reported in octogenarians. The aim was to study if it could be observed while measuring SBP with two methods: Korotkoff (K-BP) and Strain-Gauge-Finger-Pletysmography (SG-BP), and which of them were more reliable in expressing vascular burden. METHODS: A cohort of 703 men from a population of Malmö, Sweden, were included in "Men born in 19

Första året på LTH

Höstterminen 2002 började ca. 1000 studenter på något av LTH:s civilingenjörsprogram. Ett år senare hade 300 av dessa studenter missat studiemedelsgränsen. Denna artikel redovisar studieresultatet för de studenter som började läsa till civilingenjör på LTH förra hösten. Det visar sig att studieresultatet för de olika programmen skiljer sig åt väldigt mycket. Det finns inte heller någon större korr

Revolt in Syria: An Alternative View from Iran

Will the Assad regime survive? It is a big moot point; it might be too late to restore peace or the status quo, but the government must take action as swiftly as possible to implement structural reforms in the country, allowing for more political participation, civil liberties, economic progress, social equality etc. Yet, this is not enough.
