  1. 26. Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of Osteogenic Tumours of Bone

    Författare :Karim Saba; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Primary tumours of bone are heterogenous and infrequent neoplasms. Distinguishing between benign, intermediate and malignant entities can in some instances pose a clinical challenge. For some tumour types, there is still much to be learned about the genetic mechanisms that give rise to and drive these tumours forward. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Somatic Genetic Variation in Children: from Mosaicism to Cancer

    Författare :Anders Valind; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Somatic Mosaicism; Cancer; Tumor heterogeneity; Neuroblastoma; Wilms Tumor; Rhabdomyosarcoma; Aneuploidy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns various aspects of somatic mosaicism and genetic intratumor heterogeneity in childhood cancer.In paper I, I show that aneuploidy in itself does not lead to the level of chromosomal instability that is typically seen in malignant cells. This finding strongly argues against the so called autocatalytic theory of carcinogenesis. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Pharmacogenetic biomarkers for chemotherapy-induced adverse drug reactions

    Författare :Niclas Björn; Henrik Green; Svante Vikingsson; Joakim Lundeberg; Johan Staaf; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is a serious disease expected to be the world-leading cause of death in the 21st century. The use of harsh chemotherapies is motivated and accepted but, unfortunately, is often accompanied by severe toxicity and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). LÄS MER

  5. 29. Human Adipocytes : Proteomic Approaches

    Författare :Åsa Jufvas; Peter Strålfors; Alexander Vener; Maria V Turkina; Hans Jörnvall; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes is characterized by increased levels of glucose in the blood originating from insulin resistance in insulin sensitive tissues and from reduced pancreatic insulin production. Around 400 million people in the world are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and the correlation with obesity is strong. LÄS MER

  7. 30. High-Frequency ECG in Ischemic Heart Disease

    Författare :Jonas Pettersson; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; high-frequency QRS components; electrocardiogram; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; Ischemic heart disease; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Sammanfattning : Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) is one of the emerging methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The overall objective of the thesis is to investigate whether analysis of HF-QRS has the ability to provide information about ischemic heart disease and so serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in several clinical situations.
