1. Quality of Life in Patients with Endocrine Gastrointestinal Tumours
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate health-related quality of life (HRQoL), anxiety and depression in patients with endocrine gastrointestinal (GI) tumours. Patient as well as staff perceptions were assessed. HRQoL was studied with the EORTC QLQ-C30, and anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. LÄS MER

4. The Microvasculature of Endogenous and Transplanted Pancreatic Islets : Blood Perfusion, Oxygenation and Islet Endocrine Function
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes mellitus affects millions of people worldwide. Islet transplantation is a minimal invasive surgical procedure that restores euglycemia and halts the progression of diabetic complications. However, despite transplantation of islets from multiple donors most patients reverse to hyperglycemia within five years. LÄS MER
5. Insights into the effect of myocardial revascularisation on electrical and mechanical cardiac function
Sammanfattning : Background: Acute coronary syndrome is known for its effect on cardiac function and can lead to impaired segmental and even global myocardial function. Evidence exists that myocardial revascularisation whether pharmacological, interventional or surgical results in improvement of systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function, particularly that of the long axis which represents the sub-endocardial function, known as the most sensitive layer to ischaemia.
