  1. 1. Prognostic factors in periampullary adenocarcinoma. A retrospective study over an 11 year period

    Författare :Jacob Elebro; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periampullary adenocarcinoma; Pancreatic cancer; bile duct cancer; ampullary adenocarcinoma; duodenal adenocarcinoma; Immunohistochemestry; prognosis;

    Sammanfattning : Periampullary adenocarcinoma, including pancreatic cancer, has a poor prognosis that has not improved in the last decades. Therefore, in order to find more effective treatment regimens, it is necessary to gain more insight into the biology and clinical behaviour of these tumours. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Biomarkers in pancreatic and other periampullary cancers - some familiar and one new

    Författare :Margareta Heby; Tumörmikromiljö; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periampullary adenocarcinoma; Pancreatic cancer; Biomarkers; Immunohistochemistry; Tissue microarrays;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground: Adenocarcinomas arising in the area around the papilla of Vater are referred to as periampullary adenocarcinomas and are of four different anatomical origins: pancreas, distal bile duct, ampulla and duodenum. These heterogeneous tumors are usually divided into two morphological subtypes, pancreatobiliary type (PB-type) and intestinal type (I-type), which provides more important prognostic information than tumor origin.

  4. 3. SODIUM/IODIDE SYMPORTER-NIS Abundant and Important in Gastric Mucosa

    Författare :Malin Josefsson; Neurogastroenterologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ussing chamber; MNNG; gastric iodide secretion; ouabain; gastric cancer; sodium perchlorate; gastric NIS; bile duct cancer; Sodium iodide symporter;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Iodine is essential for development and growth as a constituent in thyroid hormones. Biological mechanisms for iodide uptake and concentration are very important, espe-cially as iodine is a relatively scarce element. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Aspects of treatment of common bile duct stones

    Författare :Cecilia Strömberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Gallstone disease is a major cause of morbidity and at least 10 000 cholecystectomies are performed annually in Sweden. At the time of surgery about 5-15% of the patients also have common bile duct stones (CBDS). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Insulin resistance in pancreatic cancer

    Författare :Bengt Isaksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Pancreatic cancer; glucose transport; glucose metabolism; insulin signaling; insulin resistance; uncoupling proteins; obstructive jaundice; IAPP; risk factors.;

    Sammanfattning : The dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer (PC) is related to metabolic complications of the tumor. Impaired glucose tolerance or diabetes due to insulin resistance, and cachexia are observed early and frequently in these patients. The basic mechanisms of PC-associated insulin resistance and weight loss are not fully understood. LÄS MER
