    Nyckelord :Internal medicine; copper radioisotopes; DNA sequence analyses; genotype; hepatolenticular degeneration; neoplasms; phenotype; positron-emission tomography; psychopathology; Invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Wilson’s disease is a rare inborn error of metabolism caused by a defect in ATP7B, a protein necessary for proper copper excretion into bile. It is characterised by copper accumulation with hepatic and central nervous system dysfunction. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Common medications in the risk and prognosis of lymphoid neoplasms and epidemiology of primary CNS lymphoma

    Författare :Elsa Brånvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Lymphoid neoplasms are malignancies arising from the lymphocyte, and include lymphoma subtypes, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM). It is a heterogenous group of diseases, with different molecular pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatments and outcome. LÄS MER

  4. 3. From a candidate region to gene characterization : analysis of three new genes with respect to meningioma tumorigenesis

    Författare :Myriam Peyrard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :meningioma; central nervous system; monosomy 22; tumor suppressor gene; ADTBI BAM22 gene; clathrin-coated vesicles; adaptin; assembly protein;

    Sammanfattning : Meningioma is a common and usually benign tumor arising from the meninges covering the central nervous system (CNS). The yearly incidence of symptomatic meningiomas is 1.2 cases per 100 000 individuals but autopsy findings reveal an occurrence ten times higher. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Long-term Morbidity and Socioeconomic Outcome among Nordic Childhood Cancer Survivors

    Författare :Anna Sällfors-Holmqvist; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood cancer survivors; late complications; morbidity; late socioeconomic effects;

    Sammanfattning : Survival after childhood cancer has improved dramatically during the past four decades, resulting in a five-year survival rate of 80% in children recently treated for cancer in the Nordic countries. However, these advances in treatment and survival has come at a price, and many survivors face significant treatment-induced sequelae, most of which only become clinically apparent many years after the child has been cured.

  7. 5. Nuclear medicine imaging and treatment in pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, and role of the new tracer 11C-hydroxy ephedrine in diabetes mellitus

    Författare :Achyut Ram Vyakaranam; Anders Sundin; Elin Trägårdh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; 11C-HED; PRRT; TCTTV; Non-Invasive imaging; symapthetic innervation; pheochromocytoma; paraganglioma; NETs; RECIST 1.1; Oncology; Onkologi; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology;

    Sammanfattning : Carbon-11 hydroxy ephedrine (11C-HED) is a norepinephrine analog which binds to the norepinephrine receptor present in adrenal medulla, lung, liver and pancreas. 11C-HED-positron emission tomography with concomitant computed tomography (PET/CT) can image these organs. LÄS MER
