  1. 1. Aspects of MEN1 Tumorigenesis in Endocrine Pancreas and Adrenal Glands

    Författare :Xia Chu; Kjell Öberg; Barbro Eriksson; Magnus Kjellman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEN1; tumorigenesis; PNET; angiogenesis; adrenal glands; proteomic analysis; miRNA expression; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN1) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disease, which is described as an association of tumors mainly in endocrine organs, including pancreas and adrenal glands. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are the most common cause of death in MEN1 patients. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Tumors of the adrenal glands : genetic and diagnostic aspects

    Författare :Fredrika Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Adrenal tumors have varying clinical presentation, malignancy rates and patient morbidity. Adrenal cortical carcinomas (ACCs) are malignant tumors originating from the adrenal cortex. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Endocrine studies in stroke patients

    Författare :Tommy Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebrovascular disorders; elderly; pituitary gland; thyroid gland; adrenal glands; hydrocortisone; dexamethasone suppression test; cortisol excretion; diabetes mellitus; prognosis;

    Sammanfattning : There are a number of links between the endocrine system and the nervous system. In this study, the impact of ischemic stroke on the endocrine system was investigated. Elderly volunteers were studied because data regarding the influence of advanced age on endocrine parameters were lacking. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies on stress in African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) : Stress associated cortisol and prolactin levels, lymphocyte modulation and pathological changes in adrenal cortex, stomach and hippocampus in the African green monkey (C. aethiops)

    Författare :Mbaruk Abdalla Suleman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology and anatomy; adrenal cortex; capture; confinement; cortisol; husbandry; housing; hippocampus; lymphocytes; prolactin; stomach; stress; wild; African green monkeys; Fysiologi och anatomi; Physiology and pharmacology; Fysiologi och farmakologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : African green monkeys (AGMs) are highly susceptible to captivity-induced stress. An investigation of spontaneous deaths of laboratory confined AGMs at the Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya over a period of 7.5 years documented mild to severe gastric mucosal erosions and ulcers in 83 of 260 (32%) necropsies.
