  2. 1. Towards Novel Biomarkers for Low-grade Glioma

    Author : Shala Ghaderi Berntsson; Anja Smits; Peter Siesjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Low-grade glioma; prognosis; epilepsy; PROX1; DNA repair enzyme; PET; Physiological MRI; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Gliomas are common primary brain tumours that occur as low-grade (LGG) and high-grade gliomas (HGG). Typically occurring in younger adults, LGG has an indolent course with a median survival of 5-10 years, but carries an inherent potential for transforming into HGG. READ MORE

  4. 2. In Search of Prognostic Factors in Grade 2 Gliomas

    Author : Dan Ribom; Tommy Bergenheim; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; low-grade glioma; positron emission tomography; platelet-derived growth factor receptor; mass spectrometry; alpha 2-HS glycoprotein; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Neurology; Neurologi;

    Abstract : Grade 2 gliomas are malignant brain tumours affecting otherwise healthy adults. Although the long-term prognosis is poor, many patients are well and may have a high quality of life for several years. READ MORE

  5. 3. The significance of low-grade inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract

    Author : David Lundgren; Pontus Karling; Mårten Werner; Klas Sjöberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Low-grade inflammation; gastrointestinal tract; faecal calprotectin; inflammatory bowel disease; Ulcerative colitis; irritable bowel syndrome; biomarkers; colonoscopy; proton pump inhibitors; albumin; C-reactive protein; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : BackgroundGastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are commonly reported in a normal population. Mostly, the symptoms are of benign cause but occasionally the symptoms can be signs of a more harmful disease. In general, it is difficult to distinguish whether the reported symptoms are caused by a benign (functional) or organic (i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cognitive Deficits Reflecting Diffuse and Focal Brain Lesions Caused by Slow Growing Brain Tumors - Low-grade Gliomas

    Author : Lena Ek; Ove Almkvist; Anja Smits; Hans Samuelsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Cognition; low-grade glioma; brain tumor; diffuse brain injury; neuropsychological tests; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : The overall purpose was to characterize the impact that low-grade glioma (LGG) – a type of slowly growing brain tumor – has on cognitive functions. Paper I was an in-depth analysis of cognitive dysfunction of patients with histological proven LGG. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modeling and investigations of high-grade glioma to understand tumorigenesis and heterogeneity

    Author : Nagaprathyusha Maturi; Lene Uhrbom; Helena Carén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glioblastoma; diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma; cell of origin; heterogeneity; serum culture; glioblastoma stem cell; chromatin accessibility; cross-species conservation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor. As per 2021 WHO classification, the corresponding diagnosis in children is called diffuse pediatric-type high-grade glioma (pHGG). In both cases tumors are histone 3 (H3) and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 (IDH1/2) wildtype (wt). READ MORE
