  1. 16. Endogenous proteins as markers of glomerular function and dysfunction

    Författare :Jan Tencer; Njurmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glomerular filter; amyloidosis; glomerulonephritis; glomerular disease; proteins; proteinuria; Urology; nephrology; Urologi; nefrologi;

    Sammanfattning : Plasma and urine concentrations of endogenous proteins are frequently used in the diagnosis of kidney diseases and in studies of glomerular filter function. The main issues addressed in these studies were: storage of urine samples for subsequent protein analysis, use of protein concentrations in urine and in plasma in health and as markers of glomerular diseases, and the application of renal plasma-to-urine clearance of endogenous proteins in estimating the size-selectivity properties of the glomerular capillary wall.

  3. 17. Liquid chromatography : mass spectrometry study of two biochemical alcohol markers

    Författare :Niclas Nikolai Stephanson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The interest in biochemical alcohol markers for detecting acute and chronic alcohol consumption has expanded greatly during recent years. The development and application of laboratory tests identifying early problematic drinking and monitoring abstinence have the potential of reducing the healthcare costs and suffering associated with alcohol misuse.

  4. 18. Drug resistance in acute myeloid leukemia : pharmacokinetic and in vitro studies

    Författare :Lars Möllgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Chemotherapy has improved clinical outcome in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but still the majority of the patients die of their disease. One important explanation is transport mediated drug resistance resulting in refractory or relapsing disease. P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is located in the membrane and can extrude cytostatic drugs.

  5. 19. Acute encephalitis in childhood : clinical characteristics and outcome with special reference to tick-borne encephalitis

    Författare :Åsa Fowler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Acute encephalitis is relatively uncommon but potentially devastating. The prognosis varies from complete recovery to severe sequelae or death. The diagnosis is difficult to establish and the etiology often remains unclear. LÄS MER

  7. 20. On the role of PGD2 metabolites as markers of mast cell activation in asthma

    Författare :Siobhán O'Sullivan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) is the major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid released after stimulation of mast cells. Prostaglandin D2, itself is a very unstable compound, therefore, quantitative determination of PGD2 is an unreliable indicator of its own endogenous production. LÄS MER
