  1. 1. Clinical aspects of Adrenalectomy

    Författare :Lo Hallin Thompson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adrenalectomy; Adrenal tumour; Adrenal surgery; Adrenal incidentaloma; Health Related Quality of Life; Quality register;

    Sammanfattning : Annual rates of adrenalectomy have doubled in the last 20 years as a consequence of increased detection of adrenal incidentalomas, improved biochemical diagnosis, genetic screening, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Most adrenal incidentalomas are benign non-functional adrenocortical adenomas. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Renal cell carcinoma : factors of importance for follow-up and survival

    Författare :Farhood Iranparvar Alamdari; Börje Ljungberg; Torgny Rasmuson; Sven Lundstam; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; renal cell carcinoma; follow-up; VEGFR-1; PS; ESR; stage; prognosis; metastasis; surveillance; TNM classification; adrenalectomy; angiogenesis; VEGF; Urology and andrology; Urologi och andrologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is most lethal of the urological cancers, with more than 40% dying of the disease. About 30% of the patients have metastases at initial diagnosis and up to 40% undergoing nephrectomy for localized RCC develop metastasis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Taste Hedonics and the Intake of Alcohol and Food

    Författare :Anna Söderpalm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Alcohol drinking; Adrenalectomy; Corticosterone; Cyanoketone; Food intake; Food restriction; GABA; Metyrapone; Taste reactivity; Benzodiazepine; Chlordiazepoxide; Cis Z -flupentixol; Diazepam; Flumazenil; Microinjections; Midazolam; Nucleus of the Solitary tract; Palatability; Parabrachial nucleus; Peduculopontine Tegmental Nucleus; Reward; 4th ventricle.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis includes four papers based on animal experimental work. They analyze the way in which activation of a specific motivational state - hunger- modulates the rewarding actions of alcohol and taste palatability. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Incidentally discovered adrenal tumours, adrenal metastases and pheochromocytomas - Clinical and epidemiological aspects

    Författare :Andreas Muth; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Incidental Findings; Adrenal incidentaloma; Adrenal Gland Neoplasms; Adrenalectomy; Follow-Up Studies; Quality of Life; Pheochromocytoma epidemiology; Pheochromocytoma genetics; Paraganglioma epidemiology; Paraganglioma genetics;

    Sammanfattning : With increasing use of high resolution radiological imaging incidentally discovered adrenal tumours (adrenal incidentalomas, AI) have become a common clinical problem. The aim of work-up and follow-up of patients with AI is to detect malignant (primary or metastatic) and/or hormone-producing tumours. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Primary aldosteronism studies on screening, outcome of adrenalectomy and functional pathology

    Författare :Cristina Volpe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises four studies with the general aim to improve the management of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA). PA is a hypertensive disorder due to autonomous secretion of aldosterone from one or both adrenal glands. LÄS MER
