    Sammanfattning : Patients with peritonitis or malignant obstructive jaundice (HPB+) have an increased morbidity and mortality due to sepsis. An altered cell-mediated immunity in the intestinal mucosa might promote gut barrier failure, increased endotoxin and cytokine release and bacterial translocation (BT) in these conditions. LÄS MER

    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
