  2. 1. Colorectal Liver Metastases : Onco-surgical Strategies & Prognostic Factors

    Author : Petter Frühling; Bengt Isaksson; Ville Sallinen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; liver metastases; chemotherapy; oncological treatment; prognostic factors; predictive model; simultaneous resection; liver-first; colorectal-first;

    Abstract : The management of patients with colorectal cancer with liver metastases has improved over the past decades. There have been significant developments in terms of surgery, local therapies, anesthesia and oncological treatment. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on what constitutes optimal treatment strategy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Gluten challenge in children with coeliac disease. With special reference to dose dependence and impact on growth markers and growth hormone secretion

    Author : Ulf Jansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Coeliac disease; children; gluten challenge; gluten dose; symptoms; enteropathy; ALP; ALAT; ASAT; albumin; IGF-I; GH.;

    Abstract : Coeliac disease is a prevalent food intolerance in both children and adults, in which ingestion of gluten causes inflammation of the small intestine. This inflammation resolves upon gluten withdrawal, and gluten challenge induces relapse of enteropathy in susceptible individuals. READ MORE

  5. 3. Vascular and inflammatory markers in chronic kidney disease

    Author : Bodil Sjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), inflammation and malnutrition are harmful and highly prevalent conditions with influence on the atherosclerotic process and outcome. The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is substantially increased in CKD patients compared with healthy individuals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Coagulation in liver failure : the role of thromboelastometry and fibrinogen

    Author : Gabriel Dumitrescu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Liver failure is undeniably accompanied by distortions of the coagulation system. The modern theory of coagulation in patients with compensated liver disease (acute or chronic) states that the coagulation system is in a rebalanced state, also displaying prothrombotic tendencies particularly towards the end stages.

  7. 5. Human glycogen synthase genes. Role in insulin resistance and hypoglycaemia

    Author : Marju Orho-Melander; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mutation; GYS2; GYS1; glycogen synthase; glycogen; insulin resistance; hypoglycaemia; liver glycogen synthase deficiency; glycogen storage disease type 0; Type 2 diabetes; metabolic syndrome; expression; chromosome 19; 19q13.3; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Abstract : Effective insulin-stimulated storage of excess glucose after a meal, and its rapid mobilisation in the fasting state provide basis of glucose homeostasis. Glycogen is the macromolecular storage form of glucose and glycogen synthase (GS) is the rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen synthesis. Skeletal muscle and liver are the major depots of glycogen.
