Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are often mediated by bla-SHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes in Enterobacteriaceae and other Gram-negative bacteria. Numerous molecular typing methods, including PCR-based assays, have been developed for their identification. To reduce the number of PCR amplifications needed we have developed a multiplex PCR assay which detects and discriminates between bla-SHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M PCR amplicons of 747, 445 and 593 bp, respectively. This multiplex PCR assay allowed the identification of bla-SHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes in a series of clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae with previously characterised ESBL phenotype. The presence of blaSHV, blaTEM and blaCTX-M genes was confirmed by partial DNA sequence analysis. Apparently, the universal well-established CTX-M primer pair used here to reveal plasmid-encoded blaCTX-M genes would also amplify the chromosomally located K-1 enzyme gene in all Klebsiella oxytoca strains included in the study.

Att bygga, att bo, att leva: En bok om Västra Götaland
- 2009
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Att bygga, Att bo, Att leva. En bok om Västra Götaland redovisar resultat från SOM-institutets undersökningar i Västsverige. Den svenska samhällsorganisationen är under ombyggnad och de boende i Västsverige är på en gång européer, svenskar, västsvenskar och kommunmedborgare. Många har dessutom anknytning till andra länder. I ett inledande kapitel analyseras hur nöjda de boende i Västra Götaland är med sina liv och forskare från Göteborgs universitet presenterar studier inom tre huvudområden: politik, medier samt kultur och evenemang. Som gästforskare medverkar Siv Sandberg, specialforskare vid Åbo Akademi, med artikeln Västra Götalandsregionen och det svenska regionidealet i nordisk belysning.

Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Det våras för regionen, Västsverige 1998-2005 redovisar huvudresultat från SOM-institutets västsvenska undersökningar. I ett inledande kapitel analyseras medborgarnas syn på utvecklingen i det nya länet Västra Götaland och bedömningar av Västra Götalandregionen sedan bildandet 1999. Forskare från Göteborgs universitet presenterar studier inom fyra huvudområden: Politik och samhälle, Medier och kultur, Kyrka och samhälle samt Storstaden.

Early rapid weight gain and current overweight in relation to asthma in adolescents born with very low birth weight
- 2005

In: Pediatric Allergy and Immunology. - : Wiley. - 0905-6157 .- 1399-3038. ; 16:5, s. 380-385

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Early catch-up growth and subsequent overweight are suggested to be associated with later cardiovascular diseases and later type II diabetes. However, the impact of early catch-up growth and childhood overweight on the development of asthma has been less studied, particularly in children born with very low birth weight (VLBW). A birth cohort of 74 VLBW children (birth weight ≤ 1500 g) was followed from birth and investigated on asthma at 12 yr of age. Early rapid weight gain was in one way defined as an increase of weight ≥1 standard deviation score (SDS) at 6 months of corrected postnatal age. Current overweight was defined by body mass index (BMI) exceeding 21.2 and 21.7 kg/m2, respectively, for boys and girls at 12 yr of age. Current asthma was diagnosed by a pediatrician, according to asthma ever in combination with a positive response to hypertonic saline bronchial provocation test and/or wheeze at physical examination at 12 yr old. Being overweight at 12 yr of age was associated with an increased risk for current asthma in the VLBW children [crude odds ratio (OR): 5.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-22.2]. After adjustment for early weight gain and neonatal risk, the OR of overweight increased nearly three times (adjusted OR: 15.3, 95% CI: 2.5-90.6). Early rapid weight gain seemed to be inversely associated with current asthma (adjusted OR: 0.49 for an increase of weight equal to 1 SDS, 95% CI: 0.23-1.02, p = 0.06). In addition, early rapid weight gain was inversely associated with the magnitude of bronchial responsiveness at 12 yr (coefficient -1.15, p < 0.01). There was a strong and positive association between overweight and asthma at 12 yr of age in the VLBW children. This strong association had been reduced by early rapid weight gain, possibly via the reduction of bronchial responsiveness. © 2005 Blackwell Munksgaard.

Medborgarna, regionen och flernivådemokratin
- 2008
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I "Medborgarna, regionen och flernivådemokratin" redovisas studier som bygger på medborgarundersökningar som SOM-Institutet har genomfört i Skåne 2001, 2004 och 2006. I ett inledande kapitel analyseras medborgarnas syn på utvecklingen i Skåne och bedömningar av den nya regionen. Forskare från Göteborgs och Lunds universitet presenterar studier inom tre huvudområden: "Det politiska landskapet"; "kultur och samhälle" samt "medialandskapet". Dessutom medverkar professor Yo Tsuchida från Nihon Fukushi University med artikeln "Conversion towards Open System with Plural Cores".
