  2. 1. Ulcerative colitis : Imaging of inflammation

    Author : Sven Almer; Vibeke Binder; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflannnatory disorder of unknown origin engaging the large bowel. Based on the need for accurate assessment of inflammation, three different non-invasive techniques, two leukocyte scintigraphy techniques and one radiological method, were evaluated in the assessment of active inflammation in altogether 131 patients with ulcerative colitis.

  4. 2. Thrombin generation in different cohorts : Evaluation of the haemostatic potential

    Author : Roza Chaireti; Tomas Lindahl; Elvar Theodorsson; Sven Almer; Per Morten Sandset; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to evaluate thrombin generation in patients with thrombophilia (Paper I), in patients with venous thromboembolism (Paper II), in healthy women during the menstrual cycle (Paper III), in patients with liver disease (Paper IV) and in patients with mild deficiency of factor VII (Paper V).For this purpose, thrombin generation was measured in platelet poor plasma by the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT®) assay.

  5. 3. Interindividual differences in thiopurine metabolism : studies with focus on inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Sofie Haglund; Sven Almer; Jan Söderman; Curt Peterson; Åke Nilsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The thiopurines, 6-mercaptopurine and its prodrug azathioprine, are used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn´s disease.
