Vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in mice retinal vessels is affected by both hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.

BACKGROUND: Inflammation has been proposed to be important in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. An early feature of inflammation is the release of cytokines leading to increased expression of endothelial activation markers such as vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). Here we investigated the impact of diabetes and dyslipidemia on VCAM-1 expression in mouse retinal vessels, as we

What Drives Exports? Empirical Evidence at the Firm Level

The aim of this thesis is to the understand how firms engage in exporting, particularly in consideration of three aspects—product type, past trade experience, and investments in innovation activities. It consists of one introductory chapter and three independent papers relating to determinants of firms’ exporting. Chapter 2 investigates the distance effect on the exporting of homogeneous and diff

Psykisk ohälsa, folkhälsa och medikalisering: har det egentligen någon betydelse vilket hälsobegrepp som används? [Poor mental health, public health and medicalization: is it of any significance which health concepts are used?].

The World Health Organization suggests mental ill health in terms of depres- sion soon to be the highest-ranking disease problem in the Western part of the world. However, some critics argue that the alarming reports on mental ill health have their ground in the methods of inquiry themselves and refer to medicalization as an important issue. The aim of this article is to explore and illuminate the

Determination of Absorption-line Parameters Using 2-tone Frequency-modulation Spectroscopy With Diode-lasers

Accurate determination of line parameters from weak absorption using two-tone frequency-modulation spectroscopy (TTFMS) with a GaAlAs diode laser is demonstrated. The air-broadening of three oxygen A-band lines is determined, using a least-squares fit. For a peak absorption of 1.3 x 10(-3) the deviation between the experimental and the fitted spectrum is less than 1%. The fitting procedure is succ

Targeted therapy in nuclear medicine current status and future prospects

In recent years, a number of new developments in targeted therapies using radiolabeled compounds have emerged. New developments and insights in radioiodine treatment of thyroid cancer, treatment of lymphoma and solid tumors with radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the developments in the application of radiolabeled small receptor-specific molecules such as meta-iodobenzylguanidine and pepti

Essays in Empirical Institutional Analysis

This thesis consists of three empirical studies on the effects of institutions, broadly conceived, on economic outcomes. The first study tests for evidence of causal relationships between provincial quality of governance and economic growth rates in reform-era China, 1985–2005. Improvements in governance are found to be significantly predicted by lagged economic growth rates, while economic growth
