  2. 11. Small-Scale Absorbed Dose Modelling in Selective Internal Radiation Therapy : Microsphere Distribution in Normal Liver Tissue

    Author : Jonas Högberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; clusters; dosimetry; heterogeneity; liver; microspheres; radioembolisation; simulations; SIRT; surgery; yttrium-90;

    Abstract : Radioembolisation (RE), with yttrium-90 (90Y) labelled microspheres, is an increasingly common treatment method for unresectable liver tumours. The tolerable mean absorbed dose for normal liver (NL) tissue is higher in RE than in External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT); absorbed dose heterogeneity is thought to be one important reason, together with a low absorbed dose rate, but the knowledge of microsphere distributions is limited.

  4. 12. Outcome after liver resection : epidemiological and clinical studies with special focus on the role of post-hepatectomy liver failure

    Author : Stefan Gilg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Liver surgery has undergone significant developments over the last three decades. However, population-based data are scarce, and there is limited knowledge of the impact on mortality and possible treatment modalities of a feared complication following hepatectomy, post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF).

  5. 13. Liver cirrhosis-epidemiological and Clinical Aspects

    Author : Steingerður Anna Gunnarsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Liver cirrhosis; etiology; alcoholic liver disease; mortality; portal hypertension; esophageal varices; variceal bleeding; hepatitis C; hepatocellular cancer; malignancies; small intestinal motility; small intestinal bacterial overgrowth;

    Abstract : Liver cirrhosis is the end-stage of many different chronic liver diseases. Limited data exists on the epidemiology, natural history and complications of liver cirrhosis such as esophageal varices and malignancies in the Nordic countries after the discovery of hepatitis C (HCV).

  6. 14. The importance of fat and alcohol for progression and prognosis in chronic liver disease

    Author : Hannes Hagström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic liver disease is an increasing cause of global morbidity and mortality. The popular belief is that liver disease is caused mainly by alcoholic liver disease or viral hepatitis. READ MORE

  7. 15. Biliary strictures in primary sclerosing cholangitis : aspects on inflammation and malignancy

    Author : Erik von Seth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare liver disease that is characterized by chronic inflammation of bile ducts with development of fibrosis and strictures. The pathogenic mechanisms involved in this disease are insufficiently understood. READ MORE
