  1. 31. Infections in the central nervous system with focus on meningococcal disease : clinical and epidemiological aspects

    Författare :Olof Säll; Paula Mölling; Sara Thulin Hedberg; Martin Sundqvist; Magnus Rasmussen; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CNS infection; meningitis; encephalitis; Neisseria meningitidis; serogroup Y; serogroup W; meningococcal disease; carriage; PCR;

    Sammanfattning : Infections in the central nervous system (CNS) include meningitis and encephalitis and are associated with high mortality and morbidity. A large number of different pathogens can cause these infections, including Neisseria meningitidis. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Nerve-induced release of nitric oxide in gastrointestinal and erectile tissue

    Författare :Katarina Hallén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Autonomic neurotransmission; cyclic guanosine monophosphate; guinea pig colon; neuronal nitric oxide synthase; nitric oxide; nitrite; phosphodiesterase; rabbit corpus cavernosum; smooth muscle; soluble guanylate cyclase;

    Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is an important messenger of the autonomic nervous system, innervating the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts among many other tissues. The aim of the present thesis was to study the nitrergic neurotransmission in enteric and erectile tissue with special emphasis on modulation of nitrergic neurotransmission by the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-pathway.

  4. 33. Functional gastrointestinal disorders, development of symptoms over time, and self-care

    Författare :Kerstin Stake-Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Adults with Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms such as abdominal pain, acid regurgitation, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation and nausea constitute a large part of the patient population in both primary and specialist care. Today, up to half of patients with gastrointestinal symptoms seen by gastroenterologists go through a standard diagnostic work-up usually including endoscopy, laboratory testing, and possibly radiological evaluation but do not show any signs explaining their symptoms.

  5. 34. Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI) in the gastrointestinal tract in man

    Författare :Max Nyström; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []

    Sammanfattning : Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor is a 11.7 kDa acid stable serine protease inhibitor. SLPI has been shown to be the dominant protease inhibitor in bronchial secretions and has been used in treatment of pulmonary emphysema. LÄS MER

  7. 35. Epidemiological and experimental studies on sarcoma with focus on gastrointestinal stromal tumors

    Författare :Fredrik Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Sarcoma is the common denominator for malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin. Sarcomas encompass almost 100 diagnoses with different histology, molecular features and natural history, and may present in any part of the body. The most common sarcoma in the abdomen is the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). LÄS MER
