    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glioblastoma; MGMT; Biomarker; Sex differences; Androgen receptor; Loss of chromosome Y;

    Sammanfattning : The primary brain tumors, gliomas, are not very common but they are deadly. Each year in Sweden around 500 patients will be diagnosed with a glioma and unfortunately most of them will have the most aggressive type, glioblastoma (GBM). Median survival, even if treated, is poor (14-17 months). LÄS MER

  5. 24. Older automobile drivers : medical aspects

    Författare :Kurt Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Older drivers; Cognitive impairment; Accident risk; Medical examination; ;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Older drivers (65+) are not a threat to traffic safety; the number of accidents involving older drivers is small compared to the number of younger drivers' accidents. However, a substantial number of studies have shown that when mileage is taken into consideration, older drivers have an increased risk for being involved in traffic accidents. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Home-cage monitoring of activity patterns of laboratory mice

    Författare :Karin Pernold; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The mouse, deriving from the house mouse, is the most common species used in biomedical research, and offers great advantages for researchers to study gene functions in a complex living organism. However, using animals as research models comes with a moral obligation to follow the 3Rs, (Refine, Reduce, Replace) and proved the best possible husbandry and welfare in order to secure scientific rigor.
