1. Biokinetics and radiation dosimetry of 14C-labelled triolein, urea, glycocholic acid and xylose in man. Studies related to nuclear medicine “breath tests” using accelerator mass spectrometry
Sammanfattning : 14C-labelled substances have been used in biomedical research and clinical medicine for over 50 years. Physicians and scientists however, often hesitate to use these substances in patients and volunteers because the radiation dosimetry is unclear. LÄS MER
2. Evaluations of measurement techniques in functional dyspepsia : electrogastrography, satiety drinking test and 14C-urea breath test
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of certain measurement techniques that may be helpful in the understanding of functional dyspepsia (FD). Electrogastrography (EGG) parameters were evaluated and found unable to discriminate one specific motility disorder from other motility disorders of the gut. LÄS MER
3. Diagnostic methods in helicobacter pylori infection : development, evaluation and application
Sammanfattning : Aim: To develop, evaluate and apply diagnostic methods for H. pylori infection. Materials and Methods: An in-house Urea Breath Test (UBT) was developed and evaluated in three different settings, using serology by ELISA and immunoblot as gold standard. Further, the Heliprobe was evaluated as an alternative diagnostic device. LÄS MER
