  2. 1. Pancreatic Cancer - Early Detection, Prognostic Factors, and Treatment

    Author : Daniel Ansari; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; artificial neural networks; apicidin; centralization; early detection; epigenetics; high definition mass spectrometry; MUC4; pancreatic cancer; pancreaticoduodenectomy; prognostic factors; xenograft model; treatment;

    Abstract : Background: Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death. Only about 6% of patients are alive 5 years after diagnosis. One reason for this low survival rate is that most patients are diagnosed at a late stage, when the tumor has spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development of a targeted Drug Delivery System for treatment of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinom

    Author : Carlos Urey; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : Drug Delivery Systems; Liposomes; Pancreatic cancer;

    Abstract : Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death with a 5-year survival of less than 6%. The only potential cure for pancreatic cancer is by surgical removal of the tumor. However, most patients present with an advanced and metastasized disease at the time of diagnosis, leaving only around 15% of patients eligible for surgery. READ MORE

  5. 3. Transcriptomic and taxonomic profiling of periodontitis by massively parallel sequencing

    Author : Anna Lundmark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Periodontitis is a microbial-induced, chronic inflammatory disease that affects tissue and bone anchoring the teeth, and can ultimately lead to tooth loss. In addition, periodontitis may contribute to systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and inflammatory bowel diseases. READ MORE

  6. 4. Evolution of Transmembrane and Gel-forming Mucins Studied with Bioinformatic Methods

    Author : Tiange Lang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : All mucosal membranes of the body are covered by mucus, largely made up of the family of large glycoproteins called mucins. These are instrumental for the protection of the underlying epithelia and involved in the pathogenesis of many diseases in the lungs and the intestine. READ MORE
