    Abstract : Goodpasture disease is a prototype autoimmune disease that is characterized by a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, with or without lung haemorrhage, associated with autoantibodies against the glomerular basement membrane. The major antigen has previously been shown to be the non-collagenous domain of the a3 chain of type IV collagen, one of the six known a chains of type IV collagen. READ MORE

  5. 13. CYSTATIN C AND NEUROENDOCRINE DIFFERENTIATION IN THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AND IN PROSTATE CANCER

    Author : Thomas Jiborn; Malmö Urologisk cancerforskning; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urology; androgen deprivation therapy; cysteine protease inhibitor; neuroendocrine differentiation; cysteine protease; male reproductive tract; prostate cancer; nefrologi; Urologi; nephrology;

    Abstract : Cystatins are endogenous protease inhibitors that regulate the proteolytic activities of family C1 (papain-like) cysteine proteases, such as human cathepsins B, H, K, L, and S. Cystatin C shows the fastest inhibition and the highest affinity of all cystatins towards lysosomal cysteine proteases in general and is widespread in human tissues and body fluids. READ MORE

  6. 14. Long-term outcome of vesicoureteral reflux and reflux nephropathy in adults - clinical and radiological aspects

    Author : Jan Köhler; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nefrologi; nephrology; Urology; Adults; antireflux surgery; pregnancy; reflux nephropathy; Urologi; urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux; urography;

    Abstract : The aim was to study the long-term consequencies of vesicoureteral reflux and reflux nephropathy (RN) in adults, with regard to radiological progression, urinary tract infections, renal functional impairment, hypertension, and to determine if the extent of renal damage can predict the outcome. Attempts to differentiate between acquired and developmental renal damage were also made. READ MORE

  7. 15. INVASIVE BLADDER CANCER - Aspects on staging and prognosis

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nephrology; Urology; prognosis; invasive bladder cancer; staging; Urologi; nefrologi;

    Abstract : Background: The difficulty of determining the prognosis for the individual patient with invasive bladder cancer is a major clinical problem. Currently, decisions regarding therapy are mainly based on tumour stage and grade, the first of which is notoriously demanding to ascertain. READ MORE
