Popular Abstract in English The human plasma proteome containing disease-correlated protein biomarkers reflects the pathological and physiological changes relating to diseases. These biomarkers are of interest to aid in diagnosis, prognosis and monitoring of diseases such as cancer. Because of the interests in the disease-correlated biomarkers, plasma, although is a complex biological sample, spanThe blood/plasma protein biomarker profile represents the pathological and physiological changes relating to human diseases. However, the plasma proteome reflects a high degree of complexity that results in a challenge for most analytical methods in clinical diagnostics. The focus in this thesis is the development and application of several integrated platforms to detect already established protei

Popular ScienceThe growing need for green processes in industry makes scientists design and develop processes that are more energy efficient than current processes. Naturally, some reactions require a high energy and long time to occur. This will cause high energy consumption and, typically, even more waste production. Therefore, many efforts have been done to design materials that can help to chaThe research work that I describe in my thesis deals with three different heterogenisation approaches for synthesising a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst used for direct C-H activation reactions. The three heterogenisation approaches considered in my research are: (1) heterogenisation of a molecular catalyst on a polymer support using covalent bonds, (2) heterogenisation of a catalyst on a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste maligna sjukdomen hos kvinnor i världen. Årligen insjuknar mer än 7300 kvinnor i Sverige, vilket innebär nästan 30 % av all kvinnlig cancer. Mer än 80 000 kvinnor i Sverige är friska efter att ha blivit behandlade för bröstcancer, och cirka 3000 kvinnor lever med återfall av sjukdomen. Prognosen har förbättrats de senaste decennierna, delviRadiotherapy (RT) after mastectomy has been part of the treatment for early breast cancer since the 1940s. The treatment reduces the risk of loco-regional recurrences, but implies risk of late side effects that can begin decades after RT. Aims of the thesis were: - To analyse the long term effects of postmastectomy radiotherapy and systemic treatment for 1100 stage II breast cancer patients in t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under den nuvarande värmeperioden (holocen) som inleddes för ca 11 600 år sedan, har klimatet i den nordatlantiska regionen varierat på både korta och långa tidsskalor. Orsaken till dessa variationer är många och komplexa, men kan till viss del relateras till temporära förändringar i havsströmmar och den atmosfäriska cirkulationen. Den termohalina cirkulationen, som delThe North Atlantic region has experienced significant climate fluctuations during the Holocene. It has been shown that these fluctuations affected the terrestrial environment in Iceland, including its glaciers and ice caps. However, the full Holocene development of Icelandic glaciers, including the large Vatnajökull ice cap and its outlet glaciers, is not fully known. In this thesis, a sediment se

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mjölk och mjölkprodukter har länge varit en viktig del av vår föda. Studier som undersöker förekomst av sjukdomar i olika befolkningsgrupper och vilka faktorer som påverkar dessa, så kallade epidemiologiska studier, har visat på ett samband mellan mjölkdrickande och minskad risk för flera cancerformer, bland andra tjocktarmscancer. Man vet att kalciumhalten i mjölk tillThis thesis concerns the bioactive peptides lactoferricin and ubiquitin and findings suggesting that they have ability to modify the risk of cancer. It is known that components in bovine milk may improve human health and modify the risk of diseases. Examples of such compounds are bioactive peptides, i.e. peptides with an effect on the body beyond the purely nutritional. Using cell culture as a mod

We describe the genetic characteristics of a fusidic acid- and meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clone widespread in Europe, based on whole genome sequences from 317 isolates. The clone is causing impetigo and other skin and soft tissue infections, primarily in young children. Comparison with publicly available S. aureus ST121 sequences showed that the clone is clearly distinct f

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has

Background: Long-term exposure to air pollution has been hypothesized to elevate arterial blood pressure (BP). The existing evidence is scarce and country specific. Objectives: We investigated the cross-sectional association of long-term traffic-related air pollution with BP and prevalent hypertension in European populations. Methods: We analyzed 15 population-based cohorts, participating in the E

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence from cohort studies indicates that adiposity is associated with greater incidence of head and neck cancer (HNC). However, most studies have used self-reported anthropometry which is prone to error.METHODS: Among 363 094 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study (EPIC) with measured anthropometry, there were 837 incident cas

In vitro and animal studies suggest that bioactive constituents of coffee and tea may have anticarcinogenic effects against cutaneous melanoma; however, epidemiological evidence is limited to date. We examined the relationships between coffee (total, caffeinated or decaffeinated) and tea consumption and risk of melanoma in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC).

The Bronze Age of Eurasia (around 3000-1000 BC) was a period of major cultural changes. However, there is debate about whether these changes resulted from the circulation of ideas or from human migrations, potentially also facilitating the spread of languages and certain phenotypic traits. We investigated this by using new, improved methods to sequence low-coverage genomes from 101 ancient humans
