Levelling off of prevalence of obesity in the adult population of Sweden between 2000/01 and 2004/05.

BACKGROUND: The escalating global epidemic of obesity is of worldwide concern because of its association with several chronic diseases and premature mortality. Some subgroups seem to be more affected than others. The aim of this study was to examine whether the mean BMI (adjusted for age) and the prevalence of obesity (adjusted for all the explanatory variables) changed between 2000/01 and 2004/05

Frontotemporal demens heterogen sjukdomsgrupp.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) or frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a clinically and neuropathologically heterogeneous group of primary degenerative dementia diseases. The clinical representation consists of progressive psychiatric and/or neurological symtoms such as behavioural changes, language or motor dysfunction. FTD is usually divided into the following subgroups: Behavioural varian

Aerosol Measurements as Applied for Exposure Characterization

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är angeläget att motverka ohälsa. En del av detta kan uppnås genom att minska risker. Syftet med denna avhandling är att ge metoder för karaktärisering av exponering för inhalerbara substanser som kan ge negativa hälsoeffekter. Gaser och luftburna partiklar kan orsaka negativa hälsoeffekter. Andningsorganen är särskilt känsliga och lungorna är en viktig upptagsväg fIt is important to decrease the burden of disease. This is in part achieved by decreasing risks. The aim of this thesis is to provide a methodology for the characterization of aerosol exposure, which may lead to negative health effects. Gases and airborne particles may cause negative health effects and the respiratory system is exceptional sensitive. Isocyanate is one group of substances that are

Computation of the M matrix for fourth-order problems

This paper is concerned with the numerical computation of the Titchmarsh-Weyl M matrix. We show how an algorithm may be developed which relates solutions of an initial-value problem to an approximation of the M matrix. In some special cases we compare the results from our algorithm with results obtained using special functions.

Funktionshinder, säkerhet, osäkerhet och katastrofer

Denna rapport är resultatet av ett uppdrag från Räddningsverket till Certec att göra en dokumentation som tar upp specifika perspektiv på säkerhet, osäkerhet och katastrofer för människor med funktionshinder, äldre och barn. Den har en initierande och öve

Altered expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition proteins in extraprostatic prostate cancer.

Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells involves loss of epithelial polarity and adhesiveness, and gain of invasive and migratory mesenchymal behaviours. EMT occurs in prostate cancer (PCa) but it is unknown whether this is in specific areas of primary tumours. We examined whether any of eleven EMT-related proteins have altered expression or subcellular localisation within the e

Kit regulates maintenance of quiescent hematopoietic stem cells.

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) numbers are tightly regulated and maintained in postnatal hematopoiesis. Extensive studies have supported a role of the cytokine tyrosine kinase receptor Kit in sustaining cycling HSCs when competing with wild-type HSCs posttransplantation, but not in maintenance of quiescent HSCs in steady state adult bone marrow. In this study, we investigated HSC regulation in Whit
