  2. 1. Carboxylic ester hydrolase in acute pancreatitis : a clinical and experimental study

    Author : Per Jonas Blind; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pancreatitis; carboxylic ester hydrolase; bile salt-stimulated lipase; lipase; amylase; endoscopic retrograde choledochopancreatography; Guinea pig;

    Abstract : Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) is erroneous in up to one third of patients when based on clinical criteria and elevated serum amylase values. Furthermore, according to autopsy reports fatal pancreatitis remains clinically undiagnosed in 22 to 86 % of hospitalised patients. READ MORE

  4. 2. Nuclease Activity as a Biomarker in Cancer Detection

    Author : Alien Balian; Frank Hernandez; Kajsa Uvdal; Baris Ata Borsa; Ester Boix Borrás; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nucleases; Nuclease activity; Cancer detection; Diagnosis; Oligonucleotides; Nucleic acid probes; MRI-probes; Activatable probes;

    Abstract : Nucleases are a group of enzymes that cleave the phosphodiester bonds in nucleic acids. As such, nucleases act as biological scissors that exhibit a plethora of fundamental roles, in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, dependent or non-dependent on their catalytic capability. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pancreatic carcinoma in Malmö, Sweden: Clinical, epidemiological and biochemical aspects

    Author : Mats Hedberg; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kirurgi; Pancreatic carcinoma; survival rate; epidemiology; incidence rate; risk factors; smoking; weight gain; gastric resection; cholecystokinin; Surgery; pancreatic enzymes; traumatology; traumatologi; ortopedi; orthopaedics;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis has been to assess whether there are indications suggesting that new methods for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic carcinoma (PCa) has been followed by an improved prognosis, and to assess the possible role of smoking and gastric resection in the causation of the disease. Of the 1,200 new cases PCa diagnosed in Sweden yearly, the majority are older than 70 years, the case fatality rate being close to 100%. READ MORE

  6. 4. Anti-Collagen Type II Autoantibodies in an Acute Phenotype of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Author : Mohammed Mullazehi; Johan Rönnelid; Bosse Nilsson; Kutty Selva Nandakumar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with systemic inflammatory features that primarily affects small peripheral joints. Type II collagen (CII), is the most abundant collagen type in joint cartilage. Antibodies against CII (anti-CII) are found in a subpopulation of RA patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Adrenocortical tumors : Diagnosis, growth regulation and treatment

    Author : Carin Backlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Monoclonal antibodies generated by immunization with human adrenocortical cells reacted with the normal adrenal cortex, adrenocortical adenomas and carcinomas, but failed to stain a variety of normal tissues, renal cell carcinoma, and pheocromocytomas. The antibodies can be used to improve histological diagnosis and characterization of human adrenal lesions, and possibly for scintigraphic detection. READ MORE
