  1. 16. Ulcerative colitis : Imaging of inflammation

    Författare :Sven Almer; Vibeke Binder; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflannnatory disorder of unknown origin engaging the large bowel. Based on the need for accurate assessment of inflammation, three different non-invasive techniques, two leukocyte scintigraphy techniques and one radiological method, were evaluated in the assessment of active inflammation in altogether 131 patients with ulcerative colitis.

  3. 17. Acute Colonic Diverticulitis : The role of computed tomography in primary diagnosis, prediction of complications and surgical intervention

    Författare :Arnar Thorisson; Abbas Chabok; Torkel Brismar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Colonic diverticulitis; complicated diverticulitis; computed tomography; low-dose CT; Radiology; Radiologi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to expand the current knowledge regarding the advantages and limitations of computed tomography (CT) for patients with acute diverticulitis and evaluate outpatient treatment for uncomplicated diverticulitis.Paper I: A retrospective evaluation of 602 patients with reported uncomplicated diverticulitis.

  4. 18. Acute inflammation on model biomaterial surfaces : studies on proteins, neutrophils and platelets

    Författare :Jonas Wetterö; Ulf Sjöbring; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Although most biomedical devices are non-toxic, disturbed acute and chronic inflammation and the lack of integration in tissues is a concern. At the time of biomaterial insertion, protein adsorption onto material surfaces precedes cell adhesion and is believed to alter unfavorably the acute inflammatory response and the subsequent tissue healing.

  5. 19. Vibrio cholerae modulates the immune defense of human gut mucosa

    Författare :Aziz Bitar; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Sun Nynt Wai; Mikael Rehn; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vibrio cholerae; intestinal epithelial cell; duodenum biopsy; acute cholera; immunomodulation; microRNA; OMV; cytokine; T84 monolayer; miR-146; miR-155; VCC; PrtV; hemolysis; IL-8; TNF-a; IL-1b; IL-18; CCL20; IRAK2; inflammation; mikrobiologi; Microbiology; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The key function of innate immunity is to sense danger signals and initiate effective responses as a defense mechanism against pathogens. Simultaneously, effector responses must be regulated to avoid excessive inflammation with resulting tissue damage. LÄS MER

  7. 20. On inflammation and cardiovascular disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Solveig Wållberg Jonsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rheumatoid arthritis; mortality; cardiovascular disease; ischemic heart disease; inflammation; lipids; Lp a ; haemostasis; fibrinolysis; atherogenesis; thrombogenesis;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a shorter life span than the general population. An increased death due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported. RA is characterized by synovitis and joint destruction accompanied by an acute phase reaction and systemic features. LÄS MER
