2. 1. Radiation-induced apoptosis in human lymphocytes : studies on expression, function and effects of different radiation qualities

   Author : Annelie Meijer; Fabrizio Palitti; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Apoptosis; clonogenic survival; growth factors; chromosomal aberrations CA ; low dose-rate LDR ; linear energy transfer LET ; relative biological effectiveness RBE ; radio sensitivity; ataxia telangiectasia A-T ; Physical Biology; fysikalisk biologi;

   Abstract : We are constantly exposed to radiation. Radiation causes damage to our cells. By the removal of damaged and unwanted cells, apoptosis is considered to be one of the most indispensable defence processes for a multi-cellular organism. READ MORE

4. 2. Information prior to prenatal diagnosis : Knowledge, informational needs and decision-making

   Author : Ellen Ternby; Matts Olovsson; Ove Axelsson; Charlotta Ingvoldstad; Susanne Georgsson; Verena Sengpiel; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prenatal diagnosis; decision making; chromosome aberrations; genetic counseling; informed consent; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to explore different aspects of information relevant to decision-making regarding prenatal diagnosis (PND) for chromosomal anomalies (CA). In Papers I–II, women and partners undergoing combined ultrasound and biochemistry (CUB) tests, invasive tests or declining PND for CAs answered a questionnaire.

5. 3. Cytogenetic studies of normal kidney tissue and renal cell carcinoma

   Author : Peter Elfving; Malmö (Abrahamsson) Urologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytology; Klinisk genetik; Clinical genetics; nonneoplastic kidney tissue; renal cell carcinoma; trisomy 7; Cytogenetics; FISH; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer;

   Abstract : In the present thesis normal kidney tissue and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were studied by cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) methods to investigate chromosomal aberrations. In the first study, 4 samples of nonneoplastic kidney tissue were cultured for cytogenetic analysis and trisomy 7 was found in all cases in 3-15% of the cells. READ MORE

6. 4. Genetic Characterization of Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors

   Author : Anna Dahlen; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; cytogenetik; Genetik; cytogenetics; mesenchymal tumor; pericytoma; Genetics; chondroma; lipoma;

   Abstract : Bone and soft tissue tumors (BSTT) constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms of mesenchymal and neuroectodermal origin. Although many BSTT are rare, it has become clear that BSTT are characterized by recurrent acquired chromosomal aberrations, and the general aim of this thesis have been to apply molecular genetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques to further characterize recurrent breakpoints and deletions, and to search for candidate target genes.
