    Sammanfattning : Early Diagnosis of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer - Analysis of Novel Biomarkers Björg Kristjánsdóttir Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Sciences at Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden ABSTRACT Background: Majority of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is detected in advanced stage with bad prognosis and high mortality. Reliable diagnostic markers are lacking, pre-cancerous lesions in the more aggressive tumors are not clearly defined, vague or unspecific early symptoms, and the localization of the ovaries, deep in the pelvis contributes to late diagnose.

  3. 2. Disorders of the cerebral white matter in children

    Författare :Ragnhildur Kristjánsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; leukoencephalopathy - children - neurological impairments - magnetic resonance imaging - ophthalmology - visual evoked potentials - cerebrospinal fluid - sulfatide - glial fibrillary acidic protein - gangliosides - neurofilament - tau protein - monoamine metabolites;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of this thesis were to describe the clinical spectrum in a large group of children characterised as having an abnormal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal from cerebral white matter (WM) and to study the radiological, clinical and ophthalmological features in that subgroup where aetiology was unknown. We also wanted to look at biochemical markers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to elucidate pathological processes which were responsible for the WM abnormalities. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Blood and Bone - Epidemiological studies on the association between blood and bone

    Författare :Hallgerdur Lind Kristjansdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood; Bone; Fractures; Osteoporosis;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Preclinical and clinical studies have suggested that blood- and bone cells are interconnected. Aims: To study the association between hematological variables, specifically serotonin, erythropoietin (EPO), hemoglobin (Hb), neutrophil-, lymphocyte-, and platelet count, and bone mineral density (BMD), and/or risk for fractures (paper I-III).

  5. 4. The PD-1 pathway and the complement system in systemic lupus erythematosus

    Författare :Helga Kristjánsdóttir; Marta E Alarcón-Riquelme; Kristján Steinsson; Tom W J Huizinga; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases occur in up to 3-5% of the general population and represent a diverse collection of diseases with regards to clinical manifestations. The unifying factor of autoimmune diseases is tissue and organ damage as a result of an immune response mounted against self-antigens. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The awakening of Christianity in Iceland : Discovery of a timber church and graveyard at Þórarinsstaðir in Seyðisfjörður

    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Christianization; continuity of cult; Christianity; Paganism; stave-church; timber church; private churches; missionary churches; mission; infiltration; graves; crosses; altar stone; silver ring; coin; weight; tephro-chronology; micro-archaeology; macro-archaeology; long-term processes; metaphors; Viking Age; Early Medieval Times; Thórarinsstadhir; Iceland; Northern Europe;

    Sammanfattning : The central theme of this thesis is the Christianization of Iceland during the period from the late 10th century to the turn of the 12th century. The distinct, though similar, branches of Christianity are traced through the archaeological record, where the excavation of an Early Medieval timber church and graveyard at Thórarinsstadhir in Seydhisfjördhur is used as a basic source.
