    Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), originally described as carcinoids, represent a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms associated with intensive secretion of hormones, bioactive peptides and amines. Most of the patients are diagnosed at a late stage of disease, often with liver metastases. READ MORE

  4. 12. PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 68Ga-DOTATOC in pulmonary carcinoid imaging

    Author : Natalja Uhlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: PET/CT, positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography, with 18F-FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose) is well established in oncological imaging. Pulmonary carcinoid tumours may have metabolic activity, making them available for PET/CT imaging with 18F-FDG. READ MORE

  5. 13. Vesicle proteins as markers for neuroendocrine tumors

    Author : Anne-Marie Levin Jakobsen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Neuroendocrine tumours; gastrointestinal tract; pancreas; adrenal; vesicle proteins; ; SV2; NESP55; VMAT1; VMAT2; MIBG;

    Abstract : The neuroendocrine (NE) tumours comprise a diversity of tumours which share commonproperties, e.g. the capacity to produce, store and release hormones. A prominent feature ofthe NE phenotype is the production of secretory granules with associated vescicle proteins,e. READ MORE

  6. 14. Human Beta-microseminoprotein expression, with special reference to gastric mucosa, atrophic corpus gastritis and gastric carcinoids

    Author : Håkan Weiber; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastric carcinoids; atrophic corpus gastritis; stomach; in situ hybridization; immunohistochemistry; radioimmunoassay; chromogranin A; gastrin; Beta-microseminoprotein; mucin; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Gastro-enterology; Gastroenterologi;

    Abstract : Human Beta-microseminoprotein is a 94 amino acid protein with 10 cysteins present in seminal plasma and on many mucosal surfaces in the body. The function of the protein is unknown. The purpose of this investigation was to study the distribution of Beta-microseminoprotein in the human body, especially in the stomach. READ MORE

  7. 15. Towards a bacterial origin of irritable bowel syndrome

    Author : Aldona Dlugosz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chlamydia;

    Abstract : Background: The irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most prevalent disorders and affects about 15% of the Swedish population. Patients with IBS suffer from abdominal pain and disturbed bowel function. Despite being so common, little is known about causality in IBS. READ MORE
