  2. 1. Epidemiological and clinical aspects of T-cell lymphoma

    Author : Henrik Cederleuf; Medicinsk onkologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; population-based; peripheral T-cell lymphoma; Anaplastic large cell lymphoma; angioimmunoblastic; elderly; ASCT; comorbidity; prognostic factors; follow-up; limited stage; etoposide; CHOP; overall survival; radiotherapy;

    Abstract : T-cell lymphoma (TCL) is a rare group of malignancies and one of the important aims in this thesis has been to broaden the general knowledge of TCL with descriptive patient data. Main focus has been to examine prognosticfactors for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and to evaluate different treatment approaches and follow-up (FU) after treatment.

  4. 2. Familial risks for cancer with reference to lung cancer

    Author : Xinjun Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Familial cancer; population-based; hereditary factors; familial risk; lung neoplasms.;

    Abstract : Familial aggregation of cancer may be due either to environmental factors shared by family members, or to shared genes. Familial clustering has been an avenue to the understanding of the etiology of cancer and has been a basis for clinical decisions and counseling, as well as guiding the identification of cancer-related genes.

  5. 3. Physicochemical properties of root fiber suspensions. A comparison between parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius)

    Author : Alejandra Castro; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; physicochemical properties; parsnip; yacon; plant suspensions; particle size distribution; rheology; fructans; dietary fiber;

    Abstract : The physicochemical properties of two root suspensions, parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) and yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius), were studied and compared at different concentrations and after being subjected to processes such as homogenization and heating. The study and the evaluation of the physicochemical properties of these plant materials in the form of pastes might help to increase the interest in these two roots, and possibly encourage their further industrial use.

  6. 4. CMV-infection in gay men with AIDS

    Author : Sven Grützmeier; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Before the era of combination therapy (c-ART) more than 90 % of the patients with HIV-infection died of one or more opportunistic infections (OI). We and others noted early on that CMV was an important pathogen in these patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of cell migration and matrix protease production in human lung cancer cell lines

    Author : Cecilia G Bredin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Lung cancer; extracellular matrix; growth factors; matrix metalloproteases; integrins; migration; invasion;

    Abstract : Metastatic spread in cancer is a complex multistep process involving continuous, sequential interactions between tumour cells and their respective microenvironment. Invasiveness per se has not been studied in this thesis, only some of its major components, such as cell migration and matrix protease production. READ MORE
