  1. 1. Clinical studies in aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with special reference to elderly patients

    Författare :Eva Ösby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Aggressive; non-Hodgkin s lymphoma; elderly; CHOP; mitoxantrone; etoposide; G-CSF; response evaluation; longevity;

    Sammanfattning : The age-adjusted incidence rate of non-Hodgkin´s lymphoma (NHL), in particular diffuse large B cell lymphoma, has increased continuously during several decades. Patients with aggressive NHL are potentially curable but the 5-year overall survival (OS) is still less than 50% in the whole group. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cancer : epidemiological and immunohistochemical studies on SLE patients with malignant lymphoma or myeloid leukaemia

    Författare :Björn Lövström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malignancy as a cause of death was reported in occasional SLE patients, but the question whether patients with SLE have an increased risk of developing cancer compared to the general population has remained unanswered. To address this question, we created a national Swedish SLE cohort from the Hospital Discharge Register where all patients with an SLE diagnosis between 1964 and 1994 were included. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Occupational hexachloroethane exposure and toxicity : With special reference to the formation of Hexachlorobenzeneiin aluminium degrassing

    Författare :Anders Seldén; Sverre Langård; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : For about half a century, hexachloroethane (HCE) has been used as an essential component of military white smoke munition and as a degassing agent in almninium foundries and secondary aluminium smelters. However, the acute or chronic health risks associated with occupational exposure to HCE have not been investigated in humans. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Clinical and immunopathological studies in Hodgkin's disease with special reference to prognosis

    Författare :Ulla Axdorph; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have certain features in common, but also distinct clinical and pathological differences. Thus, HD has many features of both an infectious (fever, leukocytosis, eosinophilia, night sweats, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly) and a malignant process with few tumour cells, T-cell accumulation and sclerosis.

  7. 5. Occupational exposure to electromagnetic fields and chronic diseases

    Författare :Niclas Håkansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Electromagnetic fields; chronic diseases; epidemiology; occupation; cancer diseases; neurodegenerative diseases; cardiovascular diseases.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consider two exposures from the electromagnetic spectrum extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF MF) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. ELF MF are the lowest and UV radiation ranges among the highest frequencies of non-ionizing radiation. The exposure prevalence of these fields is high in the general population. LÄS MER
