  2. 16. Late complications of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), with special reference to hormone secretion, cardiovascular risk and bone health

    Author : Cecilia Follin; Lund Medicin; []
    Keywords : growth hormone treatment; growth hormone deficiency; cranial radiotherapy; Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia; cardiovascular risk factors; bone mineral density; prolactininsufficiency;

    Abstract : An increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and cardiac abnormalities has been shown among adult GH deficient ALL survivors subjected to cranial irradiation. The ALL treatment includes many known risk factors for low bone mineral density (BMD), but little is known about pituitary insufficiencies, except for GH deficiency. READ MORE

  4. 17. Clinical Findings and Outcome after Stroke. Including a Translational Stem Cell Therapy Perspective

    Author : Hossein Delavaran; Lund Neurologi; []
    Keywords : stroke; recovery; outcome; cognitive function; Upper extremity motor impairment; Stem cell therapy;

    Abstract : Background and Purpose: Stroke is one of the dominant causes of death and adult disability in the world. There is a need for novel therapeutic approaches to improve functional recovery and outcome after stroke, and experimental studies have shown that stem cell-based therapies (SCT) hold much potential in this regard.

  5. 18. Endocrine response to illness in sick horses : presence of critically-illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency or pancreatic insufficiency in horses is related to poor survival

    Author : Allison Stewart; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Endocrinological responses are under tight physiological control in healthy animals, with homeostatic adaptions made for diet, exercise and illness. Transient adrenal dysfunction with inadequate cortisol production, known as relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI), is a major component of critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), which involves dysfunction of the entire HPA axis.

  6. 19. Survival and renal function after acute kidney injury : epidemiological and biomarker studies

    Author : Claire Rimes-Stigare; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs frequently in the critically ill and has an extremely high short-term mortality. The long-term risks of death, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) have not been fully established and have never been investigated in the Swedish intensive care (ICU) population.

  7. 20. Quality of life and health following allogeneic stem cell transplantation in childhood

    Author : Catharina M Löf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Children; SCT; HRQoL; health; long-term; late effect; psychosocial; socioeconomic;

    Abstract : Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is curative in refractory leukaemia and in several other haematological and immunological disorders. However, SCT is associated with morbidity and mortality and entails major strains on children and their families. READ MORE
