  1. 26. Renal function after transplantation of the liver and intestine

    Författare :Gustaf Herlenius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :adult liver transplantation; pediatric liver transplantation; intestinal transplantation; multivisceral transplantation; immunosuppression; calcineurin inhibitors; glomerular filtration rate; renal function; nephrotoxicity; chronic kidney disease; renal replacement therapy; mortality;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) after liver (LT) or intestinal (IT) transplantation may decrease patient survival. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) play a major role in its development. Aims: Describe long term renal function and risk factors for developing CKD in adults and children after LT and IT. LÄS MER

  3. 27. Turner syndrome. Relation between genotype and phenotype and long-term follow-up studies

    Författare :Mohamed Mostafa El-Mansoury; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Turner syndrome; chromosome; cardiovascular disease; body balance; fracture; hearing; hypothyroidism; liver;

    Sammanfattning : Turner syndrome (TS) is a chromosomal disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1/2 500 live female births. There is complete or partial absence of one of the two sex chromosomes, resulting in a genetic constellation of 45,X monosomy or 45,X/46,XX mosaic, respectively. LÄS MER

  4. 28. Links between plasma apoE and glucose metabolism, brain insulin signaling, and synaptic integrity : Relevance to Alzheimer’s disease pathophysiology

    Författare :Anna Edlund; Henrietta Nielsen; William Rebeck; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease; apolipoprotein E; insulin; metabolism; Amyloid precursor protein APP ; Fe65; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Sammanfattning : Human apolipoprotein E (apoE) exists as three main isoforms called apoE2, apoE3, and apoE4, of which the E4 isoform is associated with increased Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk. Brain glucose hypometabolism, linked to synaptic dysfunction, occurs years before symptom onset in AD, especially in APOEε4-carriers. LÄS MER

  5. 29. Quantitative magnetic resonance in diffuse liver and neurological disease

    Författare :Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Mapping--methods; Choline--analysis; Liver diseases--diagnosis; Magnetic resonance imaging--methods; Magnetic resonance spectroscopy--methods; Multiple sclerosis--diagnosis; Multiple sclerosis--metabolism; Nerve fibers; myelinated--metabolism; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Magnetic resonance (MR) has become one of the most important diagnostic tools in modern medicine. It provides superior soft tissue contrast compared to other imaging modalities, it is extremely flexible as it can be used to image all parts of the body, and it is considered to be safe for patients.

  7. 30. Liver Resection for Colorectal Cancer Metastases. Prognostic Factors and Interventions Affecting Outcome

    Författare :LIDEWIJ SPELT; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; artificial neural networks; chemotherapy; colorectal cancer; liver metastasis; liver resection; portal vein embolisation; prognostic factors; survival analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Background: With a yearly incidence of 56 per 100,000 inhabitants, colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in the Western world, representing the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Within three years after the diagnosis of CRC, 29% of patients will have developed liver metastases. LÄS MER
