2. 16. Serologic Markers in Screening for Coeliac Disease, Clinical significance and immunogenetic basis

   Author : Klas Sjöberg; Gastroenterologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gastro-enterology; transglutaminase; specificity; sensitivity; prevalence; HLA; liver disease; endomysial antibodies; gliadin antibodies; diabetes; Autoimmune disease; coeliac disease; Gastroenterologi;

   Abstract : The prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) was initially estimated to 1/1537. Based on serial analysis [GA and endomysial antibodies (EMA)], the prevalence was 6/1970 (0.30%). In autoimmune chronic hepatitis 5. READ MORE

4. 17. Role of membrane associated molecules in liver fibrosis

   Author : Peter Rosenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Adhesion molecules; liver fibrosis; cholestasis; R-cadherin; N-CAM; EBP50; CFTR; cystic fibrosis; methotrexate; diabetes; over-weight; alcohol;

   Abstract : The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of membrane associated proteins in tissue formation and remodeling, in normal embryogenesis and in liver disease. Molecules associated with cellular membranes provide a fundamental basis for cellular interactions during development, homeostasis and disease. READ MORE

5. 18. Biliary epithelial cells, the immune system and PSC pathogenesis

   Author : Lena Berglin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, inflammatory liver disease that leads to destruction of the bile duct system. PSC is strongly associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and PSC patients have an increased risk of developing malignancies, especially cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). READ MORE

6. 19. Immunological aspects on prognosis in resectable cholangiocellular cancer

   Author : Hannes Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Biliary tract cholangiocellular cancers, cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder cancer (GBC), are malignancies with poor prognosis. Even after resection surgery with curative intent, a majority of patients suffer recurrence, and median overall survival (OS) remains limited to approximately three years. READ MORE

7. 20. Magnetic resonance imaging for the assessment of liver function

   Author : Henrik Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : DHCE-MRI;

   Abstract : This thesis presents dynamic hepatocyte-specific contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DHCE-MRI) as a new method for total and segmental liver function assessment. The method is based on the hepatocyte-specific properties of Gd- EOB-DTPA, which is actively taken up into functioning hepatocytes. READ MORE
