1. Membrane transport and the human small intestine : Relation to mucosal protection, intestinal anaphylaxis and nitric oxide
Sammanfattning : The tightly adherent monolayer of epithelial cells that line the luminal side of the intestine provides a dynamic and highly regulated barrier to the passive and active transport of ions, water and macromolecules. Cathecol-O-methyl transferase inhibition prevents tissue degradation of catecholaminesincluding dopamine and intracellular carbonic anhydrase activity is an important regulator of ion and water transport in the small intestine.

Sammanfattning : Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors (SI-NETs) are indolent neoplasms with an increasing annual incidence of approximately 1/100 000 people. They are often diagnosed at a late stage, restricting treatment efficacy. LÄS MER
4. Molecular and clinical studies of intestinal malrotation
Sammanfattning : Intestinal malrotation (IM) can present as a potentially life-threatening condition with midgut volvulus and need of immediate surgery, but also as a chronic condition with long-lasting symptoms. It is a well-known neonatal condition but it is not as well “explored” up to adulthood. LÄS MER
5. Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction and enteric dysmotility : aspects on patients' health-care use, coping capacity and quality of life
Sammanfattning : Aims of the thesis: To measure health care consumption before and after the introduction of a specialized day-care unit and to investigate if patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIP) differ from those with enteric dysmotility (ED) regarding clinical features, self-reported functional status, health-related quality of life (HRQL), and sense of coherence (SOC). Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records for 125 and 54 patients with CIP or ED (paper I-II). LÄS MER
