OBJECTIVE: Topical negative pressure therapy has excellent healing effects in poststernotomy mediastinitis. Topical negative pressure therapy reduces bacterial counts, increases wound edge microvascular blood flow and granulation tissue formation, and facilitates healing. No study has yet been performed to examine the effect of topical negative pressure on the blood and fluid content in the sterna
This thesis investigates the relationship between eye movements, mental imagery and memory retrieval in four studies based on eye-tracking experiments. The first study is an investigation of eye movements during mental imagery elicited both visually and verbally. The use of complex stimuli and the development of a novel method where eye movements are recorded concurrently with verbal data enabled

Background. Tissue transglutaminase (tTG) autoantibodies are serological markers for celiac disease. The aim was to study the efficacy of the pTnT-rhtTG plasmid and subsequent diagnostic accuracy of tTG autoantibodies for childhood celiac disease using radioligand binding assays. Methods. Coupled in vitro transcription and translation of tTG were performed by pTnT-rhtTG as well as by the pGEMt Eas
Thrombotic microangiopathy is the pathological lesion found in hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) as well as other conditions. It manifests as damaged endothelial cells in small vessels with deposits of platelet plugs, occlusion of vessels, decreased blood flow and secondary organ insufficiency. HUS is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thro
OBJECTIVE: To investigate resource consumption and quality of life (utility) in a sample of patients covering the full spectrum of the disease, modalities of patient management and geographic areas. METHODS: Information on demographics, disease parameters, work capacity and resource consumption (in the past 1, 3 or 12months depending on the resource) was collected in an anonymous mail survey from
BACKGROUND: Antiplatelet reagents have been reported to protect against intestinal damage associated with abdominal radiotherapy, but the mechanisms behind radiation-induced platelet-endothelium interactions are not known. We sought to define the adhesive mechanisms that regulate radiotherapy-induced platelet-endothelial cell interactions in the colon. METHODS: All mice except the controls were ex

BACKGROUND: The Tensin family of intracellular proteins (Tensin1, -2, -3 and -4) are thought to act as links between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton, and thereby mediate signaling for cell shape and motility. Dysregulation of Tensin expression has previously been implicated in human cancer. Here, we have for the first time evaluated the significance of all four Tensins in a study of
