  1. 11. Genetic Alterations and Molecular Signatures in Aldosterone Producing Adenomas

    Författare :Tobias Åkerström; Peyman Björklund; Tracy Ann Williams; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aldosterone; aldosterone producing adenoma; KCNJ5; ATP1A1; ATP2B3; CACNA1D; CTNNB1;

    Sammanfattning : Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is caused by autonomous overproduction of aldosterone. Aldosterone is necessary for fluid and ion homeostasis. Aberrant overproduction leads to hypertension and cardiovascular damage. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Preoperative localisation of parathyroid adenoma in primary hyperparathyroidism using 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT/CT : an evolving scanning protocol

    Författare :Patricia Sandqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) is caused by one or more hyperfunctional parathyroid gland causing an inappropriately high release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in relation to the calcium concentration in the blood. PTH acts on the bones to release more calcium and on the kidneys to reabsorb calcium, causing hypercalcemia. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Hereditary colorectal cancer : predisposition and prevention

    Författare :Annelie Liljegren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hereditary colorectal cancer; colonoscopy; adenoma; hyperplastic polyp;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the clinical results from a ten-year long follow-up surveillance program, including regular colonoscopy, for subjects (n=304, 780 colonoscopies) with increased risk of colorectal cancer, and on psychological aspects of the program. The cohort included persons with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) and persons assumed to be at increased risk of colorectal cancer because they had two (Two close relatives, TCR) or three or more relatives (Hereditary colorectal cancer, HCRC) afflicted with colorectal cancer.

  5. 14. Hyperthyroidism : incidence and long term quality-of-life

    Författare :Mirna Abraham Nordling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hyperthyroidism; Thyrotoxicosis; Graves disease; Toxic Multinodular Goitre; Solitary Toxic Adenoma; Incidence; Quality of life; Suicide;

    Sammanfattning : Hyperthyroidism is a common disorder which in general affects approximately 2 % of women and 0.2 % of men. There are three main types of hyperthyroidism, caused by increased thyroid hormone production: Graves disease, toxic multinodular goitre and solitary toxic adenoma. LÄS MER

  7. 15. The epidemiology, biology and genetics of human astrocytic tumours

    Författare :Magnus Bäcklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cancer; cell cycle; apoptosis; astrocytic glioma; glioblastoma; Rb 1 pathway; p53 pathway; EGFR; PTEN; prognosis; parathyroid adenoma; epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : In Sweden > 1000 primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours are diagnosed each year. The majority are malignant and in adults astrocytic gliomas dominate. LÄS MER
