2. 1. Aspects of Hirschsprung disease

   Author : Anna Löf Granström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital defect of the enteric nervous system characterized by a lack of enteric neurons in the distal hindgut. Motility disturbances in the distal colon usually lead to neonatal intestinal obstruction. The birth prevalence of HSCR has been assessed to 1 in 5,000 live births. READ MORE

4. 2. Hirschsprung´s Disease & Gastroesophageal Reflux. Aspects on Two Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders in Childhood

   Abstract : Gastrointestinal motility disorders are common in childhood and in this thesis we look at two of them, i.e. Hirschsprung´s Disease (HD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in five different studies. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular studies on Hirschsprung disease and 'Ondine's curse'

   Author : Pär-Johan Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Hirschsprung disease; Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome; neurocristopathy; mutation analysis; RET; CDNF; EDNRB; EDN-3; EDN-I;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on molecular studies of two diseases that arise from dysfunction of, defective migration or inappropriate apoptosis of neural crest derived cells: Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and "Ondine's curse" (congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, CCHS). The neural crest (NC) is a condensation of pluripotent cells of ectodermal origin. READ MORE

6. 4. ULTRASOUND STUDIES ON PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOLOGY AND OBSTETRIC PERINEAL TEARS

   Author : Ann-Kristin Örnö; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; andrology; bladder neck descent; rectoanal inhibitory reflex; rectal sensation; Hirschsprung´s disease; Obstetrics; gynaecology; Valsalva manoeuvre; perineal tears; Pelvic floor; anal sphincter; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet;

   Abstract : Repair of obstetric perineal tears is one of the most frequent procedures in surgical practice. Despite repair such tears may result in anal and urinary incontinence and prolapses of the pelvic floor, problems in need of surgical repair later in life. READ MORE

7. 5. Structure-function studies of GDNF and other members of the TGF-beta superfamily

   Author : Susanna Eketjäll; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) family is a distant subclass of the TGF-beta superfamily. The GDNF family of ligands, consisting of GDNF, neurturin (NTN), artemin (ART) and persephin (PSP), are potent survival and differentiation factors for neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
