  2. 1. Clinical presentation, prognostic factors and epidemiology of ischemic bowel disease in the very old

    Author : Maria Wadman; Geriatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multislice CT; abdominal plain film; Ischemic bowel disease; elderly; epidemiology; operations; symptoms;

    Abstract : Background: Acute ischemic bowel disease (AIBD) is a potentially death-threatening vascular emergency predominantly affecting the elderly (>65 years). The prognosis is dismal and early diagnosis and treatment is of vital importance for the outcome. Clinical presentation is unspecific. The five studies were retrospective. READ MORE

  5. 3. Thin-fibre signalling in humans: Cortical processing of sensory afference and autonomic efference

    Author : Karin Rylander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : CT afferent; thin fibre; autonomic; insula; fMRI;

    Abstract : Thin nerve fibres innervate the entire human body and mediate sensations such as pain, temperature and visceral sensory input. Moreover, a special class of unmyelinated afferents responsive to light touch has recently been found in humans: C-tactile (CT) fibres. READ MORE

  7. 5. Preoperative staging and radiotherapy in rectal cancer surgery

    Author : Johan Pollack; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Rectal cancer; radiotherapy; adverse effects; endorectal ultrasound; anorectal manometry; endoanal ultrasound; quality of life; anal incontinence; preoperative staging;

    Abstract : Background: Rectal cancer affects approximately 2 000 people in Sweden every year. The overall survival rate is approximately 50% after five years. During the last decades the survival has increased and the local recurrence rate has declined. This can be attributed to improved surgical techniques and introduction of preoperative radiotherapy.
