    Abstract : Unilateral cortisol producing adenoma (CPA) is the most common cause of ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome and is surgically curable. On the other hand, adrenocortical carcinomas (ACCs) are rare and aggressive tumours. READ MORE

  5. 3. Contact allergens in p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin

    Author : Erik Zimerson; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dermatology; main allergens; structure-activity relationships; identification of contact allergens; guinea pig maximization test; p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin; patch testing; venereology; Dermatologi; venereologi;

    Abstract : p-tert-Butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) is used as a binder in many adhesive formulations and it consists of a complex mixture of substances, most of which are unknown. The resin has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis since the 1950s. READ MORE

  6. 4. Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) : promoter mutation and novel function in human cancer

    Author : Tiantian Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the catalytic component of telomerase, an RNAdependent DNA polymerase responsible for telomere elongation. TERT is transcriptionally repressed in most normal human somatic cells with limited life-span, which contributes to telomerase silence. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diagnostic and prognostic markers in thyroid carcinoma with focus on TERT activation

    Author : Ninni Mu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Well-differentiated follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas are usually categorized into papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), which represent the most common and second most common types of thyroid carcinoma, respectively. PTC patients generally have a good prognosis, although a subset of patients progress in their disease with poor clinical outcome. READ MORE
