  2. 1. The adenoid defender of the nasopharynx. A study of the cells in the surface secretion in the nasopharynx

    Author : Magnus Ivarsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Adenoid; nasopharynx; leukocytes; surface secretion; ELISPOT; phagocytosis;

    Abstract : The adenoid is implicated in the pathogenesis of upper airway infections (UAI), but in a not yet understood way. In contrast to the adenoid tissue, the surface secretion on the adenoid, which contains not only pathogenic bacteria and viruses but also leukocytes, has attracted little interest. READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects on Head and neck Cancer with special reference to Salivary Gland Tumours and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism

    Author : Lena Cederblad; Göran Laurell; Gunilla Enblad; Erik Blomquist; Claes Mercke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : salivary gland carcinoma; adenoid cystic; mucoepidermoid; polymorphous low-grade carinoma; c-myc; cyclin D1; perineural;

    Abstract : A thesis on Head and neck cancer focusing on dose planning, salivary gland carcinoma and Single nucleotide polymorphism.For dose planning PET/CT (Positron emissions tomography/computed tomography) with tracer gave more precise information in comparison dose planning with CT.

  5. 3. Transcriptomic and functional studies of fusion oncogene-driven salivary gland tumors

    Author : Maryam K. Afshari; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fusion oncogene; MYB; NFIB; PLAG1; HMGA2; adenoid cystic carcinoma; pleomorphic adenoma; targeted therapy;

    Abstract : Fusion genes are potent oncogenic drivers resulting from exchange of regulatory/coding sequences between two genes. They were originally identified in leukemias but are now recognized as key oncogenic events also in many solid tumors, including salivary gland tumors (SGTs). READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies of gene fusions and copy number alterations in salivary and adnexal neoplasms

    Author : Marta Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cancer genetics; fusion oncogenes; chromosome translocation; MYB; NFIB; CRTC1; MAML2; salivary gland; breast; adenoid cystic carcinoma; mucoepidermoid carcinoma; hidradenoma;

    Abstract : Cancer is a genetic disease caused by the accumulation of genetic changes such as mutations and chromosomal rearrangements. An increasing number of genetic studies of both hematological and solid neoplasms have shown that recurrent chromosome translocations often result in fusion oncogenes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunological studies of adenoids in children : relation to atopy

    Author : Georgios Papatziamos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adenoids; atopy; flow cytometry; immunohistochemistry; IgE; IL-2; IL-4; IFN-gamma; epsilonGL transcripts; IgE cells; IgE plasma cells;

    Abstract : The nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoids is in constant interaction with our environment with every breath we take. This organ, rich in B cells, contains all the immunocompetent cells necessary for an interaction with T cells, exerted through secretion of cytokines and resulting in the production of immunoglobulins and the formation of memory cells.
