  1. 6. Associations of type 2 diabetes mellitus with cancer and autoimmune diseases. A population-based epidemiological study in Sweden

    Författare :Xiangdong Liu; Allmänmedicin och klinisk epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; cancer; autoimmune disease; cause of death; hazard ratio; standardized incidence ratio; survival; risk factor;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to search for epidemiological evidence supporting the associations of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with cancer and autoimmune diseases (ADs) by analysing several Swedish national registries. T2DM shares risk factors with cancer, such as obesity, diet, stress, and physical inactivity. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Autoimmunity is a common phenomenon where the immune system recognises the body's own tissues. Autoimmunity can lead to disease if tissue damage occurs. Autoimmune diseases affect 5–10% of the global population and in many of these autoantibodies can be detected. The autoantibodies can be detected with several different methods. LÄS MER

  4. 8. The role of CTLA-4 in health and autoimmune disease

    Författare :Katrin Klocke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are powerful regulators of the immune system, as shown by the development of multi-organ autoimmunity in mice and men upon loss or dysfunction of these cells. Whilst Treg cells are vital to control normal immune responses, they are also involved in the development of autoimmunity and the failure to combat cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Liver Transplantation-associated Food Allergy and Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Children - Clinical and Immunological Aspects

    Författare :Timo Käppi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; liver transplantation; food allergy; autoantibody; immune dysregulation; collagenous gastritis; eosinophilic esophagitis; eosinophilic inflammation; eosinophil; children;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on three recently described childhood-onset gastrointestinal disorders: liver transplantation-associated food allergy (LTFA), collagenous gastritis (CG) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Its aim was to gain additional understanding of both the clinical disease characteristics and the associated immunological aberrations in these conditions. LÄS MER
