This report is an evaluation of how international policies on HIV prevention can be understood through a postcolonial perspective and how these prevention strategies are mirrored nationally and locally in Babati, Tanzania. To get familiarity with these aims I have focused on
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represent a significant issue in society as well as in drug therapy. They’re a standard reason for short-term hospitalization, prolonged hospitalization and death. Spontaneous reporting of ADRs continues to be certainly the most efficient strategies to finding new
As a result of key issues that certain Vibrio specie, especially Vibrio harveyi, may cause the aquaculture industries a rapid method to identify Vibrio isolates is needed. Early diagnosis of a V. harveyi infection can aid disease surveillance, cure and prevention in
The pancreatic islets are collections of endocrine cells, spread through the pancreas. In adult islets, endocrine cells are tightly related to capillary endothelial cells and get a high blood perfusion. Transplanted pancreatic islets, on the contrary, have a vascular disturbance, manifested as
Pseudevernia furfuracea is actually a shrubby lichen typically seen around the Baltic Sea. The lichen seems to reproduce usually by producing isidia, propagules of the lichen cortex. It is very morphologically and chemically different and is found on different substrates, for example
Objective the objective of this study is to investigate why people search online for medical information and whether they are capable of correctly interpreting the gathered information. Method: Based on theories regarding information seeking behavior and health risk communication a digital survey is conducted.
Several studies have reported beneficial effects of C-peptide supplementation in diabetic patients and animal models of insulinopenic diabetes. However, it is also established that good glycemic control is essential to minimize the risk of diabetes-induced complications. This thesis investigates potential mechanisms for the beneficial effect of C-peptide on glomerular hyperfiltration, and a novel, painless route of insulin administration.
The development of diabetes mellitus depends on the balance between beta-cell proliferation and death. As mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) may control this balance, the aim of this study was to investigate the events leading to MAPK activation in beta-cells and the consequences of these events.
Hydronephrosis, due to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, is a common condition in infants with an incidence of approximately 0.5-1%. During the last decade, the surgical management of non-symptomatic hydronephrosis has become more conservative, and the long-term physiological consequences of this new policy are unclear.
The kidney is the major organ regulating the extracellular fluid volume and thereby the arterial blood pressure. The neuronal isoform of nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the kidney is predominantly located in the macula densa cells. These cells are sensors for both renin release and the tubuloglomerular feedback mechanism (TGF), which is an important regulator of the glomerular filtration rate and afferent arteriole tone.
