2. 1. Transcatheter Arterial Embolization in the Management of Life Threatening Bleeding Applied in Upper Gastrointestinal and Post Partum Bleedings

   Author : Lars-Gunnar Eriksson; Rickard Nyman; Sven Gustavsson; Krasnodar Ivancev; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Radiology; Post partum hemorrhage; Upper peptic ulcer bleeding; Transcatheter arterial embolization; Endoscopic treatment; Endoscopic marking; Metallic clip; Radiologisk forskning;

   Abstract : Transcatheter Arterial Embolization (TAE) is a method in which a catheter is inserted into an artery under fluoroscopy guidance. By using material that creates a thrombus, inserted through the catheter, the artery can be occluded and the bleeding stopped. READ MORE

4. 2. Midgut carcinoid tumours - biochemical and therapeutic aspects

   Author : Gunnel Westberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carcinoid syndrome; valvular heart disease; 5-HT; chromogranins; octreotide; hepatic arterial embolization;

   Abstract : The biology of human midgut carcinoid tumour was studied experimentally in primary cell culture and clinically in patients with the midgut carcinoid syndrome. In cell cultures, tumour cells had a secretory pattern of 5-HTP, 5-HT and 5-HIAA specific for each tumour indicating individual regulation of synthesis/degradation. READ MORE

5. 3. Transarterial chemoembolization in primary liver and kidney malignancies

   Author : Amar Karalli; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, and the most current treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma is transarterial chemoembolization using drug-eluting beads (DEB-TACE). The concept of TACE might also technically be applicable to other types of hypervascular cancers such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). READ MORE

   Author : Per Bergman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiac surgery; atherosclerosis; ascending aorta; stroke; epiaortic ultrasound; intra-aortic filter.;

   Abstract : Postoperative stroke is a dreaded problem in cardiac surgery and atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta (AAA) is an important risk factor. The risk from calcified AAA, the extent and the topography of the disease in the development of stroke was evaluated. READ MORE
