  1. 16. Preoperative staging and radiotherapy in rectal cancer surgery

    Författare :Johan Pollack; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Rectal cancer; radiotherapy; adverse effects; endorectal ultrasound; anorectal manometry; endoanal ultrasound; quality of life; anal incontinence; preoperative staging;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Rectal cancer affects approximately 2 000 people in Sweden every year. The overall survival rate is approximately 50% after five years. During the last decades the survival has increased and the local recurrence rate has declined. This can be attributed to improved surgical techniques and introduction of preoperative radiotherapy.

  3. 17. Adrenergic control of small intestinal motility and blood flow : an experimental study in rat and man

    Författare :Mikael Thollander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :clonidine; computerized recording; intestinal blood flow; isoprenaline; laser Doppler flownretry; manometry; migrating motor complex; oxymetazoline; propranolol; small intestine;

    Sammanfattning : Small intestinal motility in the fasted state is characterized by migrating motor complexes (MMCs). Both animals and man exhibit the MMC, which consists of periods of regular contractions, i.e. activity fronts, that migrate along the length of the small bowel and alternate with periods of quiescence.

    Nyckelord :contact granuloma; surgical treatment; voice therapy; voice quality; perceptual analysis; acoustic analysis; posterior glottis; posterior laryngitis; recurrence frequency; esophagopharyngeal reflux; pH monitoring; manometry;

    Sammanfattning : This investigation had two main goals. The first goal was to evaluate the clinical symptoms and signs of contact granuloma patients and to study the short-and long-term treatment outcomes. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction and enteric dysmotility : aspects on patients' health-care use, coping capacity and quality of life

    Författare :Marie Iwarzon; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction; coping; delivery of health care; enteric dysmotility; health-related quality of life; manometry; nutrition; patient care team; signs and symptoms; survival;

    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

  7. 20. Constipation : symptoms and findings in relation to structural and functional abnormalities

    Författare :Abdulhakim Glia; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :constipation; defecation; electromyography; gastrointestinal motility; immunchistochernistry; intestinal pseudo-obstruction; physiopathology; quality of life; transit time;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge about functional constipation with special reference to symptoms analysis, laboratory investigations and histopathology findings. 155 consecutive patients with intractable constipation underwent anorectal manometry, electromyography (EMG), balloon expulsion test, colonic transit time, and defecography.
