  5. 9. Studies on venous function after deep venous thrombosis

    Författare :Lena M Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :venous plethysmography;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is estimated to be about 1-2/1000 per year of which approximately 4 % are located in the arm veins. Some of the most important late effects of a DVT are chronic venous dysfunction and the development of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). LÄS MER

  7. 10. Studies of cerebral blood flow and cerebrospinal fluid in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

    Författare :Gustaf Österlundh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia; methotrexate; neurotoxicity; cerebral blood flow; single photon emission computed tomography; cerebrospinal fluid; neuron-specific enolase; glia fibrillary acidic protein; neurofilament; ascorbyl radical;

    Sammanfattning : Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy and more than 80% of the patients are cured today. Treatment might cause side effects and central nervous system (CNS) irradiation has been replaced by systemic high-dose methotrexate (MTX) and intrathecal (IT) MTX due to the risk of late effects.
