  2. 1. Colonic pouch anastomosis after rectal excision for cancer

    Author : Olof Hallböök; Neil J. M. Mortensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Total mesorectal excision; low anterior resection; colonic pouch; coloanal anastomosis; neorectum; quality of life; laser-Doppler flowmetry; gut peptides; anorectal physiology; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Anastomoses at the level of the pelvic floor will become increasingly more common in rectal cancer surgery when total mesorectal excision is used as a standard procedure to obtain local mdicality. A consequence of such low anastomoses is increased risk of healing disturbances and poor distal bowel function, The aim of this thesis was to focus on reconstruction after total mesorectal excision.

  4. 2. Bacterial colonization of the neonatal bowel and ileal pouch with focus on E. coli

    Author : Anna Östblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; E. coli; persistens; intestinal microbiota; colonization; ileal pouch; persistence; virulence factor genes;

    Abstract : The colonic microbiota is a source of inflammatogenic and potentially pathogenic bacteria, but also a source of immune maturation signals to the infant. Here, we have investigated the normal colonic microbiota, with focus on E. coli in Swedish and Pakistani newborn infants, as well as the microbiota of the ileo-anal pouch in colectomized patients.

  5. 3. Studies of prognostic and functional outcomes in surgery for rectal cancer

    Author : Mikael Machado; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Rectal cancer; specialisation; defunctioning stoma; pouch; side-to-end anastomosis; function; anorectal physiology;

    Abstract : The order of priorities in surgery for rectal cancer are firstly to achieve local control and cure from the disease, secondly to minimise perioperative discomfort and complications, and thirdly to obtain the best possible bowel function. Rectal tumours can be removed with local surgery but most common are abdominal procedures with or without a permanent or temporary stoma. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of barrier function in patients with ulcerative colitis and pouchitis

    Author : Mats Persborn; Johan Söderholm; Lars Börjesson; Maria Jenmalm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background and aim: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is largely unknown. However, there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility and altered intestinal barrier function has been implicated in the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract

    Author : Jie Xu; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiota; Probiotics; Blood pressure; High fat diet; Oat; Green tea; Berry; Fiber; Exopolysaccharides; Ulcerative colitis;

    Abstract : Abstract: Balanced microbiota of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important for maintaining health of the host. Altered gut microbiota have been found to be associated with various life-style induced and other intestinal inflammatory diseases. Gut microbiota is viewed as a metabolic organ and considered as new target for therapies. READ MORE
