Regulation of Islet Function by the Neuropeptide PACAP

Popular Abstract in Swedish Omkring 2% av världens befolkning lider i dag av folksjukdomen diabetes och siffran ökar ständigt. Trots behandling får många diabetespatienter komplikationer av sin sjukdom, såsom fotsår, nedsatt syn, känselbortfall, njursvikt, kärlkramp och hjärtinfarkt. Halten av insulin i blodet spelar en viktig roll vid uppkomsten av diabetes. Insulinet produceras i bukspottkörtelnIt is known that parasympathetic, sympathetic and sensory nerves innervate the islets and that these nerves harbor both classical neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. However, the neural influence on islet hormone release is complex and not yet fully understood A recently discovered pancreatic neuropeptide is pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). The aim of this thesis was to

Acoustofluidic rare cell sample preparation

Acoustofluidics utilizes a combination of acoustics, in the form of ultrasound, and microfluidics to manipulate cells and particles. This has proven to be a versatile method that is gentle to the cells. In this thesis acoustofluidics has been used for processing rare cells in continuous flow. Rare cells are within this thesis defined as cells that are present in numbers of 1-1000 per mL in a much

Does PHS Model Predict Acceptable Skin and Core Temperatures While Wearing Protective Clothing.

Mathematical modeling is very important when experimental settings with human subjects are restricted to thermal limits necessary to protect the individual. The predicted heat strain (PHS) model has been published AS ISO 7933 for about six years. It describes a method for predicting the sweat rate and internal core temperature that the human body will develop in response to the working conditions.

Towards a framework for designing logistical RFID systems

Purpose of this paper The current RFID technology literature considers several issues. However, the implementation models and guidelines available in this literature are quite fragmented and lack certain elements. The purpose of this paper is thus to put all relevant elements together and discuss them within a comprehensive framework for designing logistical RFID systems. Design/methodology/appro
