The aims of this work were to image and analyze the needle behavior at automated core biopsy, to investigate the clinical utility of an alternative core biopsy technique using a semiautomated gun in breast and axillary lesions, and also to compare core biopsy with surgical specimens in malignant breast lesions
In systemic sclerosis (SSc), interstitial lung disease (ILD) and engagement of the vascular system lead to increased morbidity and mortality.The aim of this thesis was to elucidate, in a consecutively included cohort of SSc (limited and diffuse) patients (n = 33), the T cell cytokine profile driving the disease in ILD and to explore the role of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and its inhibitor
The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator CFTR, a cAMP activated chloride channel in the apical membrane of epithelial cells, is defective in patients with cystic fibrosis CF. Research efforts are focused on chloride channel function in order to find a cure for the disease.
Angiogenesis, de novo formation of blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is crucial in embryo development, and in processes in the adult such as wound healing and ovulation. Angiogenesis is also involved in pathological conditions such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases,
The fully developed and functional Drosophila midgut comprises two layers, the visceral mesoderm and the endoderm. The visceral muscle of the midgut is formed by the fusion of founder cells with fusion competent cells to form the muscle syncytia. The specification of these cells and thus the fusion and the formation of the midgut muscle is dependent on the Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK)
The project included a genome-wide polymorphism questionnaire using microsatellite markers performed on 10 WDIS. Comparisons of these strains to laboratory inbred strains validated a higher rate of polymorphism among the WDIS. We deduce that these WDIS signify repositories of unique naturally occurring genetic variability that could turn out to be important for the research of complex phenotypes.
Several researches indicate that estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is an efficient remedy for vasomotor symptoms, insomnia and vaginal dryness. Benefits are also shown on lipid patterns and on the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. As ERT estrogen replacement therapy enhances the risk of endometrial
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, places a substantial burden of disability on the growing number of patients and causes large costs for the society. Tobacco smoke is the most important risk factor. Progressive exertional dyspnea is the major symptom which leads to diminished physical and social activities, reduced physical capacity and decreased health related quality of life, HRQoL.
Within high-income nations, clinic period of stay after having a normal delivery has steadily decreased correspondingly to period of stay in proper care of other patients. A brief stay gives a greater opportunity for autonomy as well as an increased sense of contribution, however it may involve great problems satisfying parental guidance as well as on the chance of preventing, acquiring, and treating neonatal health conditions.
This thesis describes the development and the use of quantitative deuterium Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR) as a tool in two areas of environmental research: the study of long term climate-plant interactions and the source tracking of persistent organic pollutant.Long-term interactions between
