2. 1. Preservation of parathyroid function in thyroid and parathyroid surgery

   Author : Stefan Ander; Göran Åkerström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Human parathyroid glands; vascular supply; parathyroid preservation; laser Doppler flowmetry; iPTH; autotransplantation; xenotransplantation; a thymic mice; angiogenesis; immunohistochemistry; electron microscopy; ultrastructure; autoradiography; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Preservation of normal parathyroid function and calcium homeostasis after operations on the thyroid and parathyroid glands is a difficult assignment in endocrine surgery, and it is crucial to minimise the risks of permanent postoperative hypoparathyroidism. The aim of this thesis was to study the vascular supply of the parathyroid glands and the revascularisation, growth, and function of transplanted parathyroid tissue, in order to add new information about parathyroid preservation.

4. 2. In vitro and in vivo studies on biodegradable matrices for autotransplantation

   Author : Carl-Johan Gustafson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : In vitro; in vivo; dermis; matrix; autotransplantation; culture; keratinocytes; urothelium; tissue engineering; PUUR; macroporous spheres ; guided tissue regeneration;

   Abstract : Tissue engineering (TE), one of the most rapidly growing fields of life science, is an interdisciplinary area in which technical, biological and medical expertise co-fertilize on another with the ultimate aim of restoring, maintaining or improving tissues and/or organs. This purpose links TE closely to research concerning reconstructive plastic surgery. READ MORE

5. 3. Premolar autotransplantation in orthodontic treatment : a clinical and radiographic long-term study

   Author : Hans Ulrik Paulsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Premolar aplasia and avulsed or malformed anterior teeth are common in young people. Using autotransplantation, it is possible to move problems in the dental arches to regions where they are more easy to solve orthodontically. READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical problems in thyroid surgery

   Author : Palli Hallgrimsson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Total thyroidectomy; Graves´ disease; multinodular goitre; transient hypocalcaemia; permanent hypocalcaemia;

   Abstract : Background: Thyroid surgery is the most common endocrine surgical operation and is considered by many to be at the zenith of endocrine surgery. A good hemostasis is mandatory during a thyroid operation and many new devices have been available during the last two decades. READ MORE

7. 5. The Enteric Nervous System, Plasticity and Survival

   Author : Katarina Sandgren; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; Nitric oxide synthase; Neuropeptides; Neuronal survival; Lethal spotted mice; Interstitial cells of Cajal; Hirschsprung s disease; Cell cultures; Enteric nervous system; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

   Abstract : The thesis deals with plasticity in terms of neurotransmitter expression and survival of neurons in the adult enteric nervous system (ENS). Several motility disorders have been suggested to originate in developmental defects, neurodegeneration, or insufficient innervation by the ENS. READ MORE
